Trackademicks’ debut single “Enjoy What You Do” drops next week on FG, backed by remixes from Flosstradamus and Sammy Bananas, along with b-side of the year “Topsidin.” They are all slappers! To celebrate, we’re rocking together at Vessel in SF on Wednesday (2.18) for their weekly Infatuation party. Track is going to perform with the Honor Roll, I’m DJing afterwards, there’s no cover – spread the word and come through! Flyer after the jump, stay tuned for all the other “Enjoy What You Do” goodies we have on deck! Read More

The fourth-annual Flosstradamus prom – FLOSSTRAPROMUS, duh – is going down on Valentines’ Day (Sat Feb 14th) at the Abbey Pub in Chicago. Check out their commercial (courtesy of Thunder Horse, who put together video loops for all the past Fool’s Gold tours) for a taste of what’s in store, and get more show details on the Facebook event page. Also go find somebody and be in love!

Do you love the techno house musics and live in Toronto? Then do we have the guys for you. Nacho Lovers have two amazing hometown shows coming up this month: first up is the latest edition of the all-vinyl Rollin party at Wrongbar on Friday, Feb 20th, followed by a support slot for Justin Martin’s show the following week (Feb 27), also at Wrongbar. (What can we say, Nav runs a fine establishment!). Roll through and jack your body. Stay tuned for more hot Nacho action on the blog later this week…

As you may have read, A-Trak has a brand new, officially licensed mix CD coming out on April 14th called Infinity +1. (Check the schmoove cover artwork by Dust La Rock. It’s all in the lips.) The mix features everyone from John Dahlbäck to Kid Sister to Gonzalez to NORE, and you can see the full tracklisting after the jump. Trizzy will be touring stateside in support of the disc, and you can check those dates – where else? – after the jump.

In other A-Trak updatery, you can try your luck at winning a limited-edition A-Trak Running Man Serato picture disc over at thefader.com, perhaps the one place on the internets that likes to say “after the jump” as much as we do. Read More

Starting tonight, I’m out for a week of West Coast dates in Honolulu, Los Angeles, and various Canadian locales. Full lineups after the jump, come through! Lots of new tunes and surprises…

Things you might not know about Sammy Bananas: he has a rather large collection of 90s independent rap vinyl (L Da Head Toucha!) and composes for jazz flute. Things you already know (and love) about Sammy Bananas: he is one damn clever DJ!

The young lad is headed down to Australia for a few shows next month and put together an enjoyably funky new tour mix that leans heavy on tracks from the red continent. Listen close for the surprises!

This Friday (1.23) I’m psyched for the latest edition of FLASHING LIGHTS, my party with DJ Ayres and Jubilee. We took December off and people kept asking when the next one would be. The answer is Friday, duh. It’s also my born day, Louisahhh! is in town from Turntable Lab LA to guest with us, and Ayres bought hella glowsticks. We recorded a new promo mix for the occasion!
