It’s been four years already?! How is that even possible? Since 2005, we’ve been bringing you our favorite new music from around the world and across the internet, and it’s been amazing how you have responded. Our readership went from a handful of our friends, on to people who hated us for Shaun’s only-slightly-disparaging Panic at the Disco live show review, to Hacks’ Remix Post faithful to more than 500,000 of you and 2,000,000 hits a month.
Now we’re taking our love of new music off of the screen and into the real world. On April 11th, to celebrate our 4th birthday, we’re launching a series of monthly events dedicated to bringing you up and coming live acts. Every month, Shaun, Hacks, and myself will each pick an artist and bring you a show with no genre restrictions, true to our eclectic Resonator M.O. To tie it all together, we’ll each play short intro DJ sets for our chosen artist, guiding you from one sound to the next: essentially, think of it as dancing and drinking inside a lovingly crafted mixed tape.
April’s party, REStart is all about beginnings– celebrating our birthday, Shaun’s arrival in New York (and with it, the first time the Res staff have all lived in the same city since the year we started), and a new look to the website which will launch in conjunction with the party. Here’s the details:
