Yes, finally, its true! To get the super secret squirrel email link to purchase tickets, just sign up for our the Mas mailing list, and you’ll get an email filling you in on where to go and what to do. Oooh, its kinda like a rave adventure, but we didn’t involve any eggs. (90210 reference, for those who remember that goofy show and episode.)
Being on the mailing list instantly turns you into an UBER VIP person. You’ll get a bunch of nifty little perks, invites to secret & free shows, first dibs on nabbing tickets before they are up for grabs to the general public, advance music and digital promos, and a bunch of other fun things we’ll throw your way.
We sold out of our pre-sale tickets for the Bootay Shakin Blow Out, we had 400 available for $12, but they went fast.
So, we’re going to sell 200 of our $15 door tickets to our Mas mailing list peeps in advance. This way, you won’t have to bother waiting in line to purchase them the night of the show, more time for fun. Once these 200 tix are gone, they are gone, but you can get them at the door night of the show until we reach capacity.
And because we’re super excited for Friday, and want to get you just as hyped, after you purchase your tickets, you’ll get an email link that brings you to a site where you can download free mp3’s from The Rapture, Spank Rock (Bangers & Cash), Tippy, and JD Samson.
I’ve vowed this winter to keep my rear-end firmly planted on the colder shores of England but there’s something about the dark unfriendly winter nights that makes the lure of a hot minimalist all-nighter in the chilled out city of Lille, only a 2-hour skip away by Eurostar, just too inviting.
French festival organizers Art Point M and electronic music magazine Tsugi have joined forces to host SURNAME, an electronic music rave on Saturday 23rd February at Tripostal in Lille (France), with the party going on til 6am. With a fun lineup and solid party track record, I’m there faster than you can say Carnival season.
My love affair with Art Point M began 2 years ago on a ship in Dunkerque and enticed me to the Le Name Festival in Roubaix/Lille last summer. Over the past few years, Art Point M have been masterminding some mind-blowing line-ups for their festivals and parties - check out the 2006 lineup if you don’t believe me. Not satisfied with hosting one festival a year, they are intent at satiating the Northern France and Belgium dance aficionados with parties throughout the year.
ItaloBoyz similarly leave the English coast to headline for the night. Expect the two Italian DJs to treat latest clubbers with their latest releases: “Zinga” EP (Get Physical) and “Viktor Casanova” (Mothership).
Kollektiv Turmstrasse are Hamburg/Lübeck electronic musicians Nico Plagemann and Christian Hilscher who are taking time from their totally bonkers year to play a live set.
Berlin-based minimalist maestros James Flavour and Break 3000, co-owners of Dirt Crew Recordings, are playing a DJ set. The duo recently celebrated having their album “Raw” gracing Mix Mag’s Top 50 Albums 0f 2007.
Local Lille boy UFO (Mimimal1st) takes a break from his usual parties at the “electro temple” Kiosk to DJ on the night.
Topped and tailed with DJ sets from APM001 residents and visuals from French and Belgian TRiii VJs.

I love me some Panther! This just popped through my inbox, got a lil excited, and had to stay late to get this up, enjoy!
PANTHER is the two-headed effort of Charlie Salas-Humara (The Planet The) on vocals, cello, guitar, and keys and Joe Kelly (31 Knots) on drums. But even when it was Charlie’s solo effort he was never really alone. Whether live or on record there was a sense that PANTHER was being overtaken by something, not an alter-ego, this was something else. Think Ian Curtis’ convulsive intensity and James Browns spastic swagger and you still won’t have PANTHER, but a sense of what-the-fuckness that all of them seem to call up. The early recordings born in the basements and warehouses of Portland OR around 2001 brought a new brand of broken electro that when coupled with the lunatic immediacy of his modern dance meltdowns defied categorization entirely PANTHER landed on bills as varied as opening slots from PEACHES to WOLF EYES. The monstrous throb of the beats matched by Charlie’s intensity bring a sense of religious visitation to any room PANTHER humps the floor in. His panic-driven falsetto howling non-sequiturs about paranoid sexuality make his jams hysterical, compelling but most importantly danceable.
After several successful releases on indie labels Kimosciotic and Fryk Beat, the art galleries soon turned to sold out venues when PANTHER caught the attention of headliners like GOSSIP and RATATAT. And while touring in support of 2007’s epic and cheerfully damaged SECRET LAWNS Charlie realized he wanted to dance to a new beat. Soon after employing the ferocious drumming of Joe Kelly the HE became a THEY and on the upcoming 14 KT GOD - out Feb. 19 on Kill Rock Stars. Contagious hooks and loops over crushing drums usher PANTHER into new and lucid songwriting territory, even hinting at the political with songs like “Violence, Diamonds” and “Beautiful Condo.” But just when things seem to be making sense the fever kicks in and everything suddenly unglues and before you know it you’re dancing to full blown anthems about sexual obsessiveness and airplane paranoia. Rest assured, PANTHER hasn’t calmed down in the slightest, they’re just poised and ready to pounce.

Even more exciting is that U.K. graphic designer/illustrator extraordinaire, KATE MOROSS, has done the artwork for this. Her work is absolutely brilliant!! Make sure to check her site. I had wanted to get her to do some revamping work on the Trash site however, the girl is beyond busy with a slew of projects, including new work for U.K. shop, Top Shop.
HEARTSREVOLUTION’S next EP, Switchblade, (check the LA Riots remix on their spaccceee) is being released on Isomorphs, Kate Moross’ record label, on 14th April, 2008 in the UK, with 200 Limited Edition vinyl art copies!! IHEARTCOMIX will release the Switchblade EP world wide on 13th of May, 2008.
Just so you get the full “C.Y.O.A” effect, it has been churned out by LISMR, Aluedius, Bill Eff, Edwin Van Cleef and Pink Enemy, so stay posted for these official blog releases. AND one more that I’ve heard that is absolutely STELLAR, which was worked up after the contest, by someone very close to this blog! Stay posted for that debut in the coming week!!
Boy - he’s really feeling this, I have to say, i’m glad Van Halen made nice. They just were not same without David Lee Roth, these A Capella’s pretty much break it all down.
Trash Menagerie’s favorite boys from Barca, Buffet Libre, have been busy. In addition to sharing more remixes than we could consume in one sitting, they are kicking off a tour “Music Tastes Better With You”, starting in London. So feast your ears on some Das Pop, Go Team, Plastic Operator, Pomofofo, Shitdisco, Toxic Avenger, and Voxtrot, and catching them on the road, mixing up some beats in a club near you.
BUFFETLIBRE DJ’S “MUSIC TASTES BETTER WITH YOU Tour 2008″
Buffetlibre Dj’s kick off their new tour “Music Tastes Better With You” in London on Saturday 2nd February. This “Grand Opening” will take place at the Casino Royale Club, held twice monthly in Barfly, Camden.
On this special occasion, they’ve cooked up a dish of spicy beats and bitter sweet pop, mixed with just the right dose of 80’s sounds.
This tour presents the new Verbena Selected session, in which Buffetlibre DJ’s have been joined by artists such as Simian Mobile Disco, Just Jack or Shitdisco in the making of the set, available for free download on their website http://www.buffetlibre.net
As a taster of this new tour, which will also be stopping off in Barcelona, Madrid and Paris among other cities, Buffetlibre have launched the competition “The greatest 250 T-Shirts in the world”. Before each event, everyone will have the chance to win one of t-shirts made by some of the top designers on the web.
Lee Norman Williams has had a 20 year long obsession – One that started back when he was a young lad growing up in Bristol, England. Fast forward to today and his obsession has turned itself into a dance record label – No Love Lost Records, based in NYC and named in honor of Tony Wilson.
No Love Lost Records specializes in house, techno and electro artists, as well as signing brand new artists to the label proper. No Love Lost Records also has a nifty little side-project called, “The NLLR Mixtape Project”, which features new and upcoming artists and DJ’s to contribute exclusive mixes. Spanning all genres, there is something appealing for all (we quite like past artists, Lillica Libertine + Zombie Disco Squad). For their ninth guest, they’ve chosen an artist that we are quite keen on, CONGOROCK out of Italy, who was previously featured in November on TM, Congorock Goes it Alone.
Okay so this mix may not be as exclusive as say, London Dubstep artist Burial’s identity, but thanks much to Lee for passing this our way! An excellent mix of acid working well into fidget house. With a podcast coming in March, there are sure to be some exciting things on the platter for No Love Lost Records and The NLLR Mixtape Project in 08′!
