Indiana. There isn’t much there. I once went to a gas station in Gary, for example, home of the Jacksons. It was a mundane experience. It is certainly not a place one would expect to find an excellent DJ/producer/promoter. But sure enough, here be Flufftronix, master and commander of the Electrocute parties and excellent DJ of all styles ghetto as well as bloggenistic (and you can quote me). We were lucky enough to have him grace us with his madskillzzzz (zz) at our first Dr. Spaceman (pronounced Spe-che-min) party and boy howdy, did he throw down! He was kind enough to leave me with my favorite of his bootlegs, Softee’s Theme, which almost made me run out the club to grab myself a Choco Taco. It seems to be the perfect summer jam and I find it hilarious to see folks getting down to it. The second tune is an ingenious mash of straight up Chicago juke, Mims’s, ‘This Is Why I’m Hot,’ and Justice’s, ‘Waters of Nazareth.’ He might actually come to your city in the near future as he tours with another master from an unexpected region of the US, Curtis Vodka, so keep your eye peeled (and check his myspace for the schedule).
