CROOKED DISCO
Crooked Disco is back again this months with a full roster of blazin’ talent, free booze, and clothing giveaways. Tonight’s I am crazy excited to bring Alexander Technique to the decks. Founding member of DJs Are Not Rockstars along with Princess Superstar, Alexander has helped define NYC Electro. Alexander’s unique sound combines the pulsating bass and distorted sound of electro with tribal, pounding rhythms of classic New York House and Booty influences from Chicago. The energy that comes out is wild, and not to be missed.
Next up we’ve got DLake and Symbol Are Claire Huxtable bringing that new club sh!t direct from Baltimore. One part MC and one part DJ, Claire Huxtable are a non-stop tornado of club bangers. Classic house, electro, baltimore, booty… if it gets you movin’ then their on it. Expect big things from these two in 2008.
And taking on live duties are Attorney St’s own Old Money, the MC duo that’s been burnin’ up the blogosphere as of late. No standard issue hip hop here, as Cambridge and Scheme drop some next level rhythms over funked up electro beats. Check out their recent love over at Discobelle for more gritty details and an exclusive remix from Crooked Disco’s own DJ Morsy.
Residents DJ Morsy and DJ Kester hold down the bookends of the night with classic house, new disco and who knows what early and some dirty dancefloor anthems (imma try and drop some new baseline jammers and old school acid breaks if people don’t freak out… Morsy’ll probably save my a$$ with rock tinged electro and wobbly, dubsided daggers) until they turn on the house lights.
And don’t forget, we’re giving out fresh threads all night from our good friends Yuhzimi over in Switzerland, and we’ve got free vodka from 10-11 to get your parted started right! $5 on the RSVP and more at the door so get on it now and RSVP.
