Hey Y'all! - Long email coming up:
Phew - made it through the insanity of CMJ, and
Fashion Week and Resfest!
But the work is never done! And so here is a reminder
about my activities:
Mondays: GO BANG! gets down every Monday at 6's&8s
with Ulysses & G.rizo, spinning disco, electro,
techno, house, etc. We have live & DJ guests every
week. Some cool guests have been passing through, and
you should too! Who says there's nothing happening on
Monday's? Its actually a cool night...really! Hey come
see/hear for yourself, great music guaranteed!
Tuesdays: Nublu has a certain "je ne sais quoi" - it
lacks pretension, the vibe is good, and I have played
some of my best dj sets there. I am there every
Tuesdays with the amazing Kudu, awesome Send and super
Cocoa Cracker Brown, stop by anytime!
This Wednesday****One Off Special Show: I have a very
special live show coming up this week on WEDNESDAY
SEPT 21ST @ SCENIC - ELECTRONIC ROMANCE MAGIK, maybe
you already got spam about it. Crunc Tesla, Kudu, San
Serac, Daniel Givens, G.rizo - FIVE LIVE ELECTRONIC
BANDS/ARTISTS who run the gamut of styles and
expressions within the field. Its a night that will
highlight live performance and I think its going to be
real kinetic and very inspiring. PLEASE COME - I
ain't too proud to beg - I put this show together
from my heart! Hit me up for guest list/reduced list.
Thanks for the minute!

GHOST BLAZER (LIVE)
http://www.ghostblazer.com/
Village Voice on Ghost Blazer:
"But Ghost Blazer get surprisingly nasty. So nasty, in
fact, that FannyPack's Svengali songwriters Matt Goias
and Fancy sought an as-yet-unconsummated collabo with
the boys after hearing Act Right . Tiger Skullz (a
white-bread Park Sloper whom I've admittedly gotten
toasted with once or twice) and 100 percent Indian
Staten Islander George Positive snort
fat Miami basslines, space out with old-school synth
squirts, and put on airs made not only by Nike, but
the bling eratheir raps could be inspired by
corporate shout-out tracker AmericanBrandstand.com.
The duo drop science like names: as outsiders making
in-jokes. .. For kids so obsessed with beaten paths,
they clearly wanna blaze new trails." - Nick Catucci
MARCOS CABRAL (DJ - TRAPEZ)
http://www.traumschallplatten.de/
"Growing up on a healthy dose of 80's electronic
music, Marcos Cabral found himself importing the
electronic sound of the 90's through Syntax Music
distribution, helping to bring a handful of labels to
the States for the first time such as European
distributors Kompakt, Clone, et al. Working alongside
Frankie Bones and Adam X at Defunct NYC institution
Sonic Groove Records, they pushed Europe's electronic
driven sound into record shops Stateside. Soon after,
Marcos found his own sound and started producing
alongside techno's elite for Cologne's Trapez records,
an imprint of Traum. When he's not producing hypnotic
minimal gems like "Only Love" by Hansen + DJ Daniel,
of which he definitely turned into a deep-tech vocal
masterpiece, Marcos is almost always behind a pair of
Technics. ? If you are into live sets laden with dirty
basslines and steaming jack-filtered acid, go see him
play records now." - Sheal (HAUS/Happy Ending)

ARTIST INFORMATION
CRUNC TESLA (TIGERBEAT6)
http://myspace.com/crunctesla
Grandson of an African American Baptist preacher born
in Jim Crow Mississippi, Dj Raedawn got the Callin
to rip stages since the age of 4. Besides being a
seasoned DMC vet and mixtape maestro to many, he
developed the Turntablist Transcription Methodology
with his chums Ethan Imboden and Battlesounds' creator
John Carluccio. This unique notation system for
electronic/dj music has been developed into software,
used in music courses around the world and has been
featured by the likes of Time, CNN, Blackbook,
XLR8R...yatayatayata. At Skratchcon 2000, Q-bert
knighted him with the Dj Q-bert SkratchMaster Award
from the Global Skratch foundation. Far from a scratch
nerd, Raedawns assaulted stages and dancefloors from
the legendary Apollo Theatre to the most dank techno
til 10 in the morn coke den party in Berlin. Under
the name Crunc Tesla , he has collaborated with
artists such as Tes ,dDamage ,Airborn Audio and
Angelbert Metoyer . Having opened for a wide spectrum
of artists, from Stereolab to Dizzee Rascal to the
mythical Red Alert, Raedawn's performances have defied
genre and moved generations of audiences. The 26 year
old ATLien has been hiding out in Brooklyn for the
past five years. Crunc Tesla's full length LP, "What's
Really Rad?" drops this fall on Tigerbeat6.
KUDU (NUBLU RECORDS)
http://www.kudu2u.com/
http://myspace.com/KUDU
Kudu, the brand new dynamic duo of Deantoni Parks and
Sylvia Gordon, connects rawness with realness. A real
DIY group, writing and producing everything
themselves, their sound can be summed up as Urban New
Wave or even more simply Nu-Pop. Aside from the fresh
musical ingredientswithout one sour spot concerning
image, talent, concept, lyric, or songwritingit's
about their energy and the excitement of being a part
of something familiar but altogether new. Kudu
appeals across the board beyond race, class,
nationality, and age. They have packed out all-black
Atlanta audiences to all-white audiences in
Boston. The formula for Kudu is take what's hot, push
it forward, and retain all the dark, beautiful,
artistic simplicity.
Going to a Kudu show is like falling in love for the
first timesomething wild, new, and exciting that will
stick in your mind and move your ass. Kudu are
performing on a regular basis at Nublu, downtown NYC.
SAN SERAC (FROGMAN JAKE)
http://frogmanjake.com/sanserac
http://myspace.com/sanserac
San Serac has delighted and alarmed people all over
the fucking place with his perverse Bryan Ferry meets
electro/disco/soul. Abrasive house? His self-released
album "Ice Age" garnered rave and weird reviews, and
he's since been attacking dancefloors on the east &
west coasts with the likes of Gravy Train!!!!, DAT
Politics, Chromatics, Ratatat, ova looven, and some
really bug Anticon cats [to name a few]. He has a
track on the new Believer music issue CD, and he's
cooking up a tasty new batch of songs recorded with
sound engineer Stephen Wright (Wire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
everybody). San Serac recently moved to New York City.
DANIEL GIVENS (AESTHETICS)
http://aesthetics-usa.com/artists/danielgivens/bio.html
On Dayclear & First Dark /Aesthetics, 2004:
"MC-DJ-poet Daniel Givens brings a unique personal
history to Dayclear & First Dark , his first
full-length since Age five years ago. Not only does
the sophomore effort embody his experiences as a gay
black man inhabiting New York's concrete jungle in the
post-9/11 era, it's also about coming to terms with a
childhood friend killed by Jeffery Dahmer.
Abetted by Semay Wu's cello, Matana Roberts' sax, and
hallucinatory vocal flavourings from Ihu Anyanwu,
Lehni Lamide, and Monstah Blak, Givens drapes his
gravelly voice over hypnotic voodoo grooves borne from
digital textures, samples, and drum machines. While
the album's apocalyptic ambiance suggests the
unyielding presence of imminent threat, Givens
preaches action, not resignation ("You've got to fetch
the future"). Think of Dayclear & First Dark as the
dark and spacey spawn of Tricky, Sun Ra, Kraftwerk,
Gil Scott-Heron, and Agharta -era Miles." - JUNK MEDIA
G.RIZO (CODEK/REPELLENT)
http://myspace.com/gdotrizo
http://www.grizo.com
Ihu Anyanwu a.k.a G.rizo is a self-proclaimed
"technotainer" and "l'ektronikaraoke" crooner.
Interpreting dance music with a freestyle, pop-tastic
flair, ranging in style from electro, disco, techno,
dub and RnB, one things for sure: its bound to be
funky!! Sonically, she first appeared on the scene
with the release of "Je Me Mentis," in 2002, a
toxic-dub 12 inch produced by Sasa Crnobrnja and Alex
Gloor, released on their label Codek Records. As a
singer her sound is a fusion of styles, one which has
been described by XLR8R Magazine as "a cross
pollination of dirty booty bass, dubby No Wave, (and
electric RnB) sung with sexy, irreverent lyrics."
Live, she's a one woman kamikaze - a commanding
presence, G.rizo brings a delivery that is raw, bold
and soulful. Recently G.rizo has collaborated with
Gerhard Potuznik (G.D.Luxxe), Patrick Pulsinger, Trio
Exklusiv, I-Wolf & Birdy, Dubblestandart, Daniel
Givens and In Flagranti. Currently G.rizo works on
material for an upcoming full length record.
BAUMANN
http://www.ickemicke.at
http://play.fm/playfm_artists.php?p_id=325
Funkily translated from German to English by Babel
Fish:
"Hannes Baumann and Tibcurl organize one of the
probably most interesting and innovative parties of
the Viennese scene - Icke Micke. This man/woman team
meets famous guests like DJ Koze, Jennifer Cardini,
Luciano, Jeans team etc. Baumann has style, its not
straight-lined in its disk choices, he carries you
forward on a journey through Maedchenpop and Techno,
past House and Electro - tingling, merrily, deep and
sexy! "

"..cracking the dream of the slaves."
