When Good Things Attack!

Ok, so if you’re in New York this weekend.. then you’re in a quite a conundrum. I count 4 events going on tonight that are worthy of Res Luvin’ and I just don’t know what to do! Well, that’s wrong. I do know what I’m going to do: Try and get to all of them!

Round 1: Shapes @ The Tank.

While not a deejay party, Shapes put on a great show for Personality Crisis earlier in the month and its totally worth checking out if you’re into the whole glam/punk/rock scene at all:

Round 2.5: FutureCop! @ Mercury Lounge
Something I just found out about and don’t think I’ll be able to fit in to my already crazy schedule. None-the-less, Futurecop! is great and sure to be worthwhile. Check out the full details here. Or listen to these:

Round 3: Valerie @ Webster Hall (flyer)
The Valerie explosion finally hits the states. They’ve got several dates scheduled nationally, and this is sure to be a hit. Time slots below are what I was told (so don’t blame me if they’re wrong) but different people seem to have different times for the event (even the page on webster hall has conflicting start times..). My plan is to make it here after X/M and then lose my mind to Russ Chimes.

Timeslots:
12:30 - 02:00 : COLLEGE - dj
02:00 - 03:00 : LOVELOCK - live set
03:00 - 03:45 : ANORAAK - live set
03:45 - 05:00 : RUSS CHIMES - dj
05:00 - ??:?? : VALERIE ALL STARS

Its a Russ Chimes Kinda Day

The name Russ Chimes has been floating around for a little while now (like a year! ok so that’s FOREVER in blog-years), and the more I hear it, the more I want to hear. Whether it be remixing, production work, or even himself that gets the remix treatment, nothing disappoints. He maintains this slick, summer-jam-itala-disco roller skating on the ice kinda vibe and has totally been my personal musical style of choice recently.

Lets start with the old, and then we’ll push things forward.

Russ Chimes - “Mulsanne”

Starts off nice and smooth and just oscillates itself into high gear. If you can’t get into this then please just close down your web browser and see what’s up with billboard because you’ll never be my friend.

Here’s three more earlier tracks, just -you know- for reference. “Afterburner” starts off all nice and bouncy and then totally kicks it into full on roller skating gear, “She’s Got The Heat” is just silky smooth all the way through.

Russ Chimes - “She’s Got The Heat”

To flow in nicely from that last track, here’s the Cryptonites Remix. Its a little lengthy, but its a good track to underlay while executing those ableton mixes you kids love:

More recently, though, he’s been pumping out the remix jams, and each maintain he’s musical vibe, but each also is a piece unto itself. Here’s 2 notable ones:

Chromeo - “Fancy Footwork (Russ Chimes Remix)”

So yeah, drop by his MySpace and give him some res lovin’. He’s currently touring countries I have no possible way of visiting, but you should try and catch him, whether that means getting there by plane, train, bus, horse, moped or just by walking and talking an excessive amount of uppers.

Super Bonus:
On a related theme, I did a mini-mix for the Basstown kids. Check the full info here, or if you’re too lazy, here’s a direct link to the set:
