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

GRUM It Up!

GRUM

The Finger on the Pulse crew are currently holding a remix contest for GRUM’s latest track: “Woah”. You can download the parts here so, you know, you should get on that. Deadline is Oct 28th! Its in support of his first US appearance, Nov 1st at Death By Audio (map).

Grum is a Leeds based producer/deejay who has found his way into “hacks’ personal best of” during the course of this year. I posted the Edwin Van Cleef Remix of “Heartbeats” previously (so check that if you haven’t), but here’s more fun, dance fueled tracks that should prove to you that the Nov 1st show is totally going to be the dog’s bollocks.

Here’s the orginal of “Woah”, to get a feel for what this remix contest is all about!

Grum - “Woah”

Grum tackled Moulinex’s recent track “Breakchops” (you know how much I heart the Disco Texas Crew) and its totally dance-floor worthy:

Here’s another remix he did, this time for Anoraak out of the Valerie Camp. He keeps the lush soundscape qualities of the original, while adding some “umf” in the form of a chunky bassline and some beefed up synth and drum action:

And, to round things out, here’s Damage’s take on Grum’s “Go Back”. I’m surprised I never heard this track in more sets, personally. It verges on the border of dark and nasty, while keeping things just straight enough to grab the attention of everyone: chip action during the buildup, grungy bass lines, and a good dose of chopping and screwing.

So, to summarize: Download. Remix. Submit. Dance.

Got it?
