Almost a year after the A-Trak/Kid Sis spectacular, Fool’s Gold returns to the Museum Of Natural History for their latest One Step Beyond party. Bass and lasers underneath the giant planetarium sphere, how can you go wrong? This time it’s FG’s Nick Catchdubs (hay guise) and Ghostly’s Michna rocking out for you all Friday night (11/21). Admission includes a free pass to the museum to party with Ben Stiller whenever you like.
Electric Fields is an electronic (duh) music and media arts festival in Ottawa that’s “dedicated to the presentation of new and significant performance and installation works created at the crossroads of art, science and technology.” It should make sense, then, for Ottawa’s resident electronic wizards Jokers Of The Scene to get involved. They’ve made an exclusive mix which you can download for free until the festival closes on 11/23. Grab it here:

You can also check out the Jokers alongside Treasure Fingers in Mexico City this Saturday, check the flyer and info here.
The MTVu 2008 Woodie Awards broadcast makes its world premier tonight (11.19) on MTVu (and MTVu.com for you grads - stream the entire show in the video link above). A-Trak and Kid Sister present some awards, Chromeo performs with Vampire Weekend, there’s a lot of guys with guitars and funny haircuts, and more…
This week’s Fader diary is up, you can read it here.
I haven’t posted in awhile because I just recently moved back to BK after being a World Traveler Adventurer for a couple months as well as having a spine-crushing workload. As the records have come out of storage and gone back on the shelf I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite classics with you..
Masters of the Universe (Joey Negro)- Space Talk (Strictly Underground)
Pal Joey- Party Time (Loop ‘D Loop)
Kerri Chandler- Atmosphere EP (Shelter Records) Jersey stand the fuck up!!!
I could go on for days.. Some real posts w/ deep thoughts coming soon, I promise.
Daniel from LA Riots just sent over this clip from the booth during his set at Berlin’s Ghent’s massive (35,000 sold-out tickets!!!) I Love Techno festival from this past weekend, along with a recording of his live set that you can download here:
LA Riots Live @ I Love Techno [mp3]
“On the recording you can actually hear the crowd chanting in unison…thousands of people all chanting like they were at a soccer match!” says Daniel. They call it “football” over there homie, but we’re feeling you!!!
We already shouted out the JOTS / Trackademicks show at Cinespace in LA tonight (11.18), but gotta remind you once again now that Laidback Luke has been officially added to the show! Don’t be a dummy, roll out for this…
I’m surprised we didn’t do this earlier! Chromeo is my brother with our childhood friend, Fool’s Gold is my label… It’s only natural to get Fool’s Gold producers to remix Chromeo. Yet it took Bacardi to make it happen. Bacardi’s B-Live program brings you these funkier-than-thou remixes of the slick album closer “100%.” You all know Treasure Fingers from his infectious two-stepper ‘Cross The Dancefloor’ and multiple remixes as of late. If you’re up on your new releases you probably heard Nacho Lovers’ inaugural and timeless single “Acid Life.” And to flip things a little we recruited Bay Area rapper-slash-producer Trackademicks, whose single “Enjoy What You Do” is just about to drop! Start downloading…NOW.

Then on Tuesday (11/18) JOTS are rocking at Cinespace alongside Trackademicks, Head Like A Kite, Dan Oh, Them Jeans, Miss Toats and a rumored SOOPER special guest?!? Don’t miss em!

The man, the myth, the Pase Rock has a new single coming out in a matter of weeks (days!) and you can download the a-side banger “Get Money Kids” for free over at RCRD LBL right now.

Pasey Pase’s latest is a total FG friends-n-famathon, with Eli Escobar on the beat and Dim Mak on the label (and Jersey’s own Rime handling cover art duties!) so be sure to spend real money on it December 2nd. There’s also a video contest, and a little bird tells us a Nacho Lovers remix is on it’s way as well…
