Though he doesn’t play Bmore jamz, he does us all one better. Consistently, Bart B More delivers amazing tracks and remixes and pretty much has set the bar for 2011. I have heard that he is a wizard on the cdjs. The first time I saw his name I laughed cause it reminded of all those goofy DJ names that friends come up with when they are making fun of Djing. “Dj snugglesalot” or “Dj swizzledonk” ect. I stopped laughing when I heard the first track from this dude. He does a genuinely great job of riding the dutch house res/blip wobble line while still keeping it electrofunhouse. Those are my made up genres to describe his production sound. It’s heavy enough to fit into a serious techno set but takes the edge off nicely. For Example
Come check him out at Rickshaw stop in San Francisco Fri Feb 18th along with theProject’s resident Nisus and Tron Jeremy of Gotta Dance Dirty. It’s 18+ so you have zero excuses. Tickets available at Blasthaus
We are proud to announce that theProjects resident Nisus has released his first EP here on theProjects! Its an intricate EP with new sounds, fusing electronic dance music with techno, house and a little bit of distorted disco. The best part is…it’s free!! It will be available here free for a short time so download it now and share it with your friends!
When you hear the word “Brazilian,” the first image that comes to mind might not be a pair of disco djs/producers from Rio — especially given the duo’s apparent aversion to shaving. But despite this unfortunate fact, Brazilian performers The Twelves have emerged as one of the world’s premier electronic acts, being labeled “Rio de Janeiro’s answer to Daft Punk.”
Having remixed such artists as M.I.A., Groove Armada, La Roux, Radiohead, Fever Ray, Two Door Cinema, Metric and Daft Punk themselves, The Twelves (in their own words) “like to take tracks that don’t normally work on a club vibe and try and beef them up to a point that people can actually dance to them” (BBC Radio 1). The result has given them numerous Hype Machine #1 hits and a slot on Pete Tong’s famed “BBC Radio 1′s Essential Mix.”
February 5th, The Twelves bring their electro-disco act to San Francisco’s Mezzanine, courtesy of friends of The Projects, Blasthaus. Advance tickets are available here for $16 and the show is expected to sell out.
It was somewhere in the middle of my adolescence that I began to question why one of our most oft-played Christmas songs involved a child bearing witness to his mother’s adultery. Especially baffling given my upbringing, was the child’s naive conclusion that his father would react with good humor after seeing his mommy “tickling” Santa Claus.
“Oh what a laugh it would have been
if Daddy had only seen”
Had this episode played out in my boyhood home, the room would likely erupt not with laughter but rather wild screaming and gun violence. How this would be different than other Christmases, I can’t really say.
So, in the spirit of non-traditional Christmas music, I present a small collection of holiday tunes that will likely never make the neighborhood carolers’ list and the best Christmas mix I’ve ever heard.
So, DJ Nisus asked me to put together a demo of “non-mainstream” tracks that he could pass along to some friends of his and the below mix was born. The mix was put together in two days recorded live off of Serato, and contains some of my favorite current house/techno tracks.
This Saturday at the Mezzanine we will be golden clad, celebrating Amp Live’s solo album release for Murder at the Disco. This party is going to be maaaagically delicious. Canadian duo Nacho Lovers from Fool’s Gold will be headlining, and the whole Solid Gold DJ crew will be spinning beats late into the night. This incredible ensemble of DJs have been holding it down in the electronic scene for the past two years bringing you the best gold music at every SGJ party; Sleazemore, Shane King, Swayzee, Eric Sharp and Morale. theProjects resident Nisus will be opening the evening up with a very special not to miss all hardware, live set. So you better get there early!
And as if that wasn’t enough incentive, there will be some truly amazing golden circus acts by none other than the amazing Vau De Vire Society as well as live golden teeshirt silkscreening by San Franpsycho. They will have shirts for sale or bring your own to have amazing golden graphics added to it! There will be live gold painting out back and don’t forget…live gold visuals by yours truly.
So come out and support the best party in SF, Solid Gold Jacuzzi!!
theProject’s own prolific producer NISUS has been hard at work cranking out remixes for your lovely ears to hear. Below is his remix of Caribou’s “Odessa”, off their new album Swim. The original Caribou track is pretty amazers to begin with (the whole album is really), and with the addition of some 808 style drums and a few BPM fluctuations here and there, Nisus’ edit is totally sick. I dig it.
Also be sure to check out his most recent remix of MIA’s “Steppin Up”. It’s for the HARD LA/N.E.E.T. remix competition so be sure to click those hearts!
Can I say that? The guy is awesome, like weird Tiga shit awesome. And his new track “Bang Bang Bang”…is amazing. I so dig it. Soo soo soo good. Especially if you watch the Creators Project interview where Mark explains the process of making his new record. There are so many classic Mark Ronson tid bits and lines. Ive watched it like 6 times. Really. You can check it out here.
As far as corporate sponsorship goes, Scion is kinda killing it. I’ve gathered quite a little collection of Scion themed SWAG over the past few years from various parties. I’ve got two adorable pairs of pink Scion panties that read “What Moves You” on the ass (hey, its better than “juicy”), i’ve got sampler CDs galore, earplugs for my earholes, and several tubes of SPF 15 which have been INSRTUMENTAL in my not getting cancer. That’s just to name a few. (more…)
