![Valerna’s set [remixed]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3395060_lg.jpg)
LA duo Valerna dropped a bomb on the blogoshpere by releasing a FREE EP to the masses, full of bangin' remixes from Clockwork, Pola-Riot, No Body, Mercurius FM & Nisus . Valerna [remixed ] is helping build a ton of hype for their upcoming Dirty Throat Remix due to drop soon via Burn The Fire Records . You can catch a preview video of the track over at [...]
WOW! What a killer show! Thanks all for coming out. Props to Tron Jeremy ( www.gottadancedirty.com ) Nisus ( www.nisusthemovement.com ) BART BMORE ( www.bartbmore.com ) and of course Blasthaus in the highest. The photos from the night are up!

Get your tickets here before they sell out! www.blasthaus.com [...]
There is a long history of ironic, white covers of popular hip-hop and R&B tracks - from Dynamite Hack singing " Boyz in the Hood " in golf sweaters and flip flops, to Little Boots' recent melancholic cover of Kid Cudi's " Day N Nite ." In general, these attempts range from the retarded to the horribly offensive - with the rare creative or interesting recreation emerging here and there. The new Fool's Gold-repped artist Telephoned has recently joined membership into this group and whether they are one of the rare, successful entries [...]
When most Americans think of Ottawa, they picture the historic cholera outbreak of 1832 or the precise urban planning of Frenchman Jacques Greber. However, in addition to being recognized for these fascinating details, Canada's capitol city supports a pretty solid little house scene. At the center of this lies Disorganized (now Frenzy), a monthly party which for the past 7 years has brought Ottawa's dance community together to party with some of the world's top DJs. Founders DJ Booth and Chameleonic , together known as Jokers of the [...]
Most people assume that using drugs you've found lying on a city sidewalk is a perfectly reasonable and safe thing to do. Thus, they're often surprised when I tell them a story which reveals that perhaps, in some rare cases, found drugs are better left alone. It was the summer of 2003, the war in Iraq had just been won, Gary Coleman was running for governor and Uncle Kracker was beginning to Drift Away (so sad). In the few years prior, I had developed an angst-fueled obsession with Radiohead and was excited when they announced two [...]
Everyone loves a good mystery, especially when that mystery is solved by a talking dog and a group of meddling kids. So in 2008 when some quality dance tracks (including the massive "Mars") began appearing around the innertron produced by the then-unknown producer Fake Blood , there was active speculation in the dancenerd community as to the producer's identity and whether it was just an alias for an already established artist. Turns out it was, as Fake Blood was until then better known as Theo Keating aka DJ Touche aka one half of the indie-electro [...]
While our friends to the south will be getting HARD to Fake Blood and Boy 8-Bit on Saturday, we here in San Francisco have the head start on our weekends thanks to Blasthaus , who is hosting both acts at Mezzanine alongside local DJ heros Nisus and Sleazemore. Tickets are still on sale! Mr. Berry and I will be in attendance, passing out our brand new Gotta Dance Dirty stickers like genital warts in Tijuana. [...]
One of my favorites, French disco edit master Pilooski a month ago released a 123 vinyl only single whose A-side was a house remake of Nora Dean's "Angie La-La." It's titled simply "AAA" and it is a 9 minute early a.m. house epic. It wouldn't hurt to be high for this one. Enjoy: Pilooski - AAA Bonus: Nina Simone - Take Care of Business (Pilooski edit) - White Mike [...]
Last week, I came across this mix by DJ Riz - co-founder of Crooklyn Clan and arguably one of the best hip-hop DJs alive. Now best known for his website, where DJs can buy the latest BEP song mashed up with "Love is Gone," Riz is also kind of amazing behind the decks and apparently the favorite DJ of some of my favorite DJs. In this short set, he quick mixes classic hip hop and soul. Enjoy: DJ Riz - Live at Deko Classics Night [...]
German production duo Patrick Bodmer & Philipp Jung, together known by the curiously effeminate label M.A.N.D.Y. , gained fame in 2005 with their club hit "Body Language," a collaboration with Booka Shade , with whom they also partnered in launching the Get Physical record label. Tomorrow night M.A.N.D.Y. visits SF, headlining a show at Paradise Lounge . Opening will be Nikola Baytala, John Wander and Kuze. Advance tix are $12 and available over at Blasthaus . (mp3s after the jump...) [...]
Dutch DJ/Producer Afrojack has been on fire for the past year, steadily churning out bangers including cross-over hits produced for Major Lazer and Pitbull . Yesterday, he dropped this throwback acid house number, which is vaguely reminiscent of The Chemical Brothers during their raver hey-day. You can buy this and other Afrojack tracks here . Enjoy: Afrojack - Pacha on Acid Bonus: Will Bailey & Mikey Hook - Turn Out the Intro (Afrojack remix) [...]
Friday night I had my housewarming party. It was filled with Scotch and dalliances; to say the next day was rough would be an understatement. I had to use a strength rivaled only by Conan the Barbarian to get out of my bed. That morning also happened to be the day Vitalic [...]
So, then she said, "What's your favorite position?" and I was like, "the fetal position." And then we made out. Anyway, kind of a late pass on this one but I recently came across this EP by UK DJ Solo and it is pretty dope. UK Funky with shades of last year's smash " Trompeta ." You can buy it here . Solo - Minimood (Round Table Knights remix) Solo - Rawmania Enjoy. - White [...]
As we warm up to the upcoming Noise Pop Festival, here's a few shows to let you warm up your earplugs with. Wednesday, February 17th Mark Matos & Os Beaches, Little Wings, Apache Thunderbolt, Moomaw at Hemlock Tavern A little bit of organ can go a long way, and Mark Matos uses the instrument in a way that's very tasteful. It's [...]
Brooklyn Circus made a last minute announcement today regarding their regular hip hop & soul party at Yoshi's (SF) Le Cirque and it doesn't get much bigger. The party has been moved downstairs to the main performance venue and headlining will be none other than DJ Jazzy Jeff . Friend of The Projects King Most and the City's favorite DJ under 5-feet Shred One will provide support. Tix are $22 and you can buy them here . I will definitely be making this one. Here's [...]
Former San Franciscan and now Southern Californian DJ Morse Code just released an indie dance mix today that should appeal to any fan of synths and disco basslines. I've managed to catch him live a number of times and his shit is generally sick . You can catch him February 20th at Medjool . Morse Code - Walking on the Moon Tracklist after the jump... Tracks 1. Freeland - Borderline (Grum Remix) [...]
French Fries , the appropriately named French producer who scored a hit with his afro-beat single "Coconut" last year, has just released a new EP on Youngunz entitled "Arma." This time FF combines several current dance music trends and the resulting beats are perfect for any tech house or UK funky set. Or just for folding your laundry to. Trust! Cop the EP at Beatport . Also includes remixes by Bok Bok, Tomb Crew and BeatauCue. French Fries - Predador French [...]
This Saturday, a coalition of San Francisco's roving DJ crews are uniting under one roof to raise money for the Red Cross for Earthquake Victims in Haiti . Folks, if you're over 21 and your texting limit for the month, come on out and get down for a great cause. Last night, President Obammy said the worst of the economic storm is over , so the suggested donation of $10-$15 isn't going to put you back on food stamps. First 100 donors get a free Guinness. Check out these jams from two of San Francisco's finest deejaying [...]
Ol' head DJ Excel of Philly's Skratch Makaniks crew is one of those rare DJs that possesses both insane turntablist skills and the rare ability to rock any party. After regrettably missing Edan's set last week at SOM's Change the Beat party (which was apparently unbelievable), I've been rabidly devouring classic hip hop sets in an attempt to make up for my absence on Tuesday. Fortunately, DJ Excel just posted this gem up last week and it is sick. I just wish it were [...]
2010 is but a few weeks old and already we've seen the release of a number of really bangin' mixes. My favorite thus far is a tech-house mix from D.C. duo Nadastrom . Originally posted as a promo mix for New York monthly Flashing Lights , which includes Fool's Gold's Nick Catchdubs , Night Shifter's Jess Jubilee and The Rub's DJ Ayres . Direct D/L from The Rub website (tracklist after the jump) Tracklist: [...]
