So we're back, basically that's all there is to say. First off lets talk a little about Radioclit. Radioclit is a DJ Duo from England who's been tearing it up recently. I spent my entire summer listening to Get it Up, which is an amazing mix of M.I.A, and some Gorilla Zoe. Fact remains, listen [...]

(ein beitrag zur indiestreber.de-elektrowoche) der mixer. das lieblingsspielzeug aller elektrofrickler. natürlich lassen sich damit trefflich neue soundkreationen kreieren, allerdings läd solch ein martialisches gerät auch wunderbar dazu ein, schon vorhandenes in eine neue gestalt zu wandeln. da die genregrenzen zwischen indie, pop und new rave sowieso schwer zu ziehen sind, radieren wir diese mit dem elektromixer nun völlig aus, und laden alle indierocker in die elektrodisko ein. indie 2.0. der remix-artikel. electro-remixe zu basteln, so scheint es, ist der trendsport der heutigen indieszene. was früher noch [...]

This friday Coda Club is hosting an old Chi town favourite for ya'll. Flosstradamus hasn't been around our city since the last time they played Coda. One of the select few acts that have kept me at a bar until closing. They know how to throw a party, so don't miss it. It's being hosted by HGHLY TGGBL and here's the event on the book . For those of you who - gasp - don't plan your social [...]

As Chicago-based musicians like The Cool Kids and Flosstradamus outgrow their roots and play fewer and fewer local gigs in favor of sold-out shows and the worldwide festival circuit, the Windy City's air clears for the next generation of Cool to step into the spotlight. Often referring to themselves as a "Team", Starters DJs mix genres for a refreshing take on club music filled with personality. Combining popular Top 40 tunes, hyped-up blogger favorites, and hip-hop classics, the duo create irreverent mashups like Justice vs. [...]

As you may already know, this past Tuesday, the Asics sneaker company set a new Guinness World record for largest Lite-Brite piece with an astonishingly large, flourescent sneaker. To celebrate, they brought Chicago hip hop saviors Kid Sister and Flosstradamus (and Sis's brother is in that group, remember?) to rock the crowd who were already in awe of the feat. It was fun and afterwards, we left to go see the Nas, N.E.R.D., Spank Rock show that was a total clusterfuck. (mp3) Kid Sister featuring David [...]

A lot of people have been asking me what life has been like since moving to the "big city" [i.e. Chicago] and I suppose the time has come for something resembling a more standard update on my life in the past several weeks. I just yesterday returned from a weekend trip to Madison to partake in the inaugural Forward Music Festival and visit with friends. The festival was mostly enjoyable, effectively satiating my craving for live music, and was a thrifty deal, at $25 for a weekend pass. Tsk tsk to festival organizers for switching the [...]

Fine. We missed The Cool Kids . Goddamnit. THE CULTURE OF ME sent resident awesome person Charlotte from Luxe Presents down to the new behemoth venue on Bleecker Street called [gulp] Le Poisson Rouge for a packed-like-sardines show featuring the above mentioned Chicago rappers, fellow windy city compatriots Flosstradamus and Brooklyn's happiest people ever, Matt and Kim . What she got was a ridiculously smoky, totally sweaty (worth it) night of music and dancing. Also, when the fuck does Grand come out? The show was the launch [...]

Not only will OCD Automatic be playing alongside Flosstradamus at the Forward Music Festival later on this month, but he has also remixed one of the greatest classics of all time, and turned it into something that will be making everyone move on the dance floor in no time. This track is really good, it's got a sing-a-long quality as well as a nice bass line for all of the lovers of the harder stuff. Below from OCD Automatic , you can find Whitney Houston's I [...]

We get a lot of mixes submitted to us here at CreamTeam. My informal system of choice for review is on the track, at the gym. If you can keep me running for 45 mins and pumped up, then I consider your mix a resounding success. I keep all the mixes I especially like filed on my iPod for future use. Of all the mixes I've saved, one of my favorites is definitely Willy Joy's Fly By Night Mix —and almost entirely for one single track. When it comes to mixes, I have a [...]
For our second night in vegas... we headed out to the BPM x VAPORS party at JET nightclub. To catch the greatest from STEVE AOKI , PEANUT BUTTER WOLF and many more. That party did NOT disappoint. Before we made it to the party, we hung with some of the DIMMAKIANS at our friends complimentary suite at the Luxor (courtesy of Vegas.com) and we got into some drunk dialing / escort service fun. After all that was said and done with...we headed out to the party. In case [...]
