LWE's 108th podcast, by Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin of Mister Saturday Night, was a distillation of their party's sound into an hour and a half of house and techno both new and old.

[ Mister Saturday Night Records ] Label nights are often exciting events, but what's it like things happen in reverse? Mister Saturday Night has stood for some of New York's finest parties since its establishment a few years ago, and as they've consolidated their brand, their events have only gotten better. Starting a label would seem to be the logical next step, and though the duo of Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin are both producers in [...]]]> text/html 2012-04-12T14:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4195562/news-mister-saturday-night-starts-a-record-label-has-a/

New York has a long and storied history when it comes to dance music, but nowadays, with so much focus in the scene being allocated to Berlin and London, New York's club scene has a bit of a "second [club] city" complex. And while many of the city's big clubs leave much to be desired, digging a little deeper in the outer boroughs reveals a handful of world-class parties that stand up with the halcyon days of New York's storied tenure as dance music's capital. Mister Saturday Night, helmed by Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin, is one of those parties. [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-22T06:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3878710/harkin-and-raney-shakes-on/
Photo by Christopher Jonassen [ Throne of Blood ] As the days get shorter and we start closing out the year, many of us take the time to reflect on what we've heard in the seemingly arbitrary confines of the calendar and what has made the most impact. Our minds inevitably turn towards the "Silent State"s and the "Sicko Cell"s; those [...]]]> text/html 2011-05-12T17:31:03+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3435514/live-discovery-is-this-saturday-with-san-soda-and-mister/
The monthly disco adventure known as Discovery is back again this Saturday night in the lower level of Santos Party House, this time with the first New York City appearance of San Soda (We Play House Recordings/FCL) and Justin and Eamon of the venerable Mister Saturday Night parties.

Just shy of a week since word got around that Doug Singer had left the trio behind "Sunday Best", the summer afternoon series that we loved (and you loved) going to, his former partners, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin, have announced the rejuvenation of the BKLYN Yard space (now called Gowanus Grove) and the launch [...]]]> text/html 2011-04-13T02:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3359581/news-doug-singer-says-goodbye-to-sunday-best-claims-irreconcilable/

Eamon Harkin is one of the most active dance music promoters in New York. The Irish native focuses on on bringing "classically minded/foward thinking" artists to his many events which include Mister Saturday Night and Prime Time. His reedits can be found in record stores all over and his DJ style is a ethnic sound that could only be created by someone as traveled as Harkin.

Frankie Knuckles , legendary DJ/producer and pioneer to the Chicago house movement, came out swinging at Webster Hall on Friday night, playing a spacey hour-plus set of some obscure tracks that we won't even begin to try throwing darts at and some house favorites that a bunch of kids knew. Joining him for the night was Eamon Harkin , Still Going and the Girls & Boys residents. The kids came out and sweated it up with us.

Eamon Harkin - Innit A few weeks back*, our friends The Wurst Edits crew put out another killer twelve-inch. This one shows the edit talents of Eamon Harkin, one of New York City's best DJs (via his homeland of Ireland) - he has been a player in the club scene here since 2004 and has hosted and played with some of the best DJs around, including Joakim, Afrika Bambaataa, Todd Terje, The Egyptian Lover, and Juan Atkins. His style comfortably floats between techno, electro, disco, and house both new and old.

NYC's Wurst Edits just released another fine pair of tracks. This time around, Fun's Eamon Harkin touched up The Mixmasters' "In The Mix" and John Carpenter's "The End." Right now, I'm really feeling the intense drum workouts and sweet pianos on "Innit," the Mixmasters edit. Order the 12" at Turntable Lab and they will even throw in a free Wurst Summer t-shirt. Also, Philadelphia will be getting it's Wurst fix over the next couple months, with the return of Marcos Cabral and the premier of My Cousin Roy.

AUGUST BOOTY Limited edition runs of 1970s style DJ re-edits seem to be flying off vinyl pressing plants at the moment. Far removed from the mash-ups of recent years (mix Nirvana with Destiny's Child) the whole point is to stretch out the original source for the dancefloor. Stumbling across Eamon Harkin's blog was my find of the month. As is often the case Piccadilly Records brought Eamons name to my attention, stocking his wonderfully warped out version of John Carpenter's " Assault on Precinct 13 ".
