Events, Review | Dirty South @ Lavo NYC 1/17/12 (Review)
Posted by Middy on February 2, 2013
Though this was last month, I still have some pretty vivid memories of this night. The standard crowd of good looking upper crust mid twenties New Yorkers, expensive alcohol flowing like the Niagara and Dirty South spinning his brand of big room house behind the decks. Walking up to the high end New York Club I saw the familiar scene of people trying to negotiate the strict line — the people attempting to get in on the left side with either a ticket or just the hope that their looks or money would woo the bouncers to let them by that red felt rope and the right side filled with VIPs and their hangers on willing to drop their’s or daddy’s credit card on a night they will probably won’t remember. I shuffle in a bit out of place next to those VIPs and eventually make it through the various layers of rope into the club. Click on to go inside with us.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Cam Meekins – This & That (ft. Chuck Inglish) [Official Video]
Posted by LoffyG on January 22, 2013
The Lamp City kid, Cam Meekins, is back with his newest song and video release. I present to you “This & That” produced by and featuring Chuck Inglish, well known for his work in the group The Cool Kids before splitting up in late 2012. I’ve always been a fan of Cam’s work and this track is no different. He’s constantly showing progression through his music whether its rapping, producing or directing, he does it all. Congrats to him for having his video for “Rain” recently hit the 1 milli club on YouTube.

Progressive House | Fedde Le Grand – RAW
Posted by Middy on December 24, 2012
Fedde Le Grand never disappoints with incredibly varied and unique productions and coming off of the heals of a wide array of collaborations with Nicky Romero & Deniz Koyu among others, the Dutch Star presents his follow up solo effort to “So Much Love” just in time for Christmas. “RAW” keeps with the same style of chugging bass lines that we are accustomed to seeing in most other Fedde Le Grand originals, while adding a fast moving Daft Punkesque top line and gruff undertones, making this a perfect club track to finish out the year.

Events, Review | Fareoh returns to Santos Party House for a Special Hometown Set
Posted by Middy on December 20, 2012
I had been very excited to see Fareoh for a second time after his Halloween set with Adventure Club & Nero, especially in a club setting where he would be the headliner with more time to craft the ideal Fareoh set. I got to the venue around 11:45 and the place was largely empty as you would expect in a New York City nightclub, with a few groups dancing on their own to the soulful tech grooves of the opening DJ. As time progressed from midnight on, the crowd started to fill in, many wearing santa hats and costumes because of Santacon that day. Fareoh was late getting to the venue and this threw off the opener who reverted to some safer, commercial plays a little after 1am as the venue was getting very full.
At around 1:30, Ian Spurrier, better known by his stage personna, Fareoh, arrived at the venue and wasted no time getting right into it. The venue itself has a very unique charm and style, as it does not go for the big LED screen or the big laser displays, but rather puts the DJ booth front and center in the middle of the crowd and allows for a more intimate setting between the DJ and the audience who surround the booth on all sides. Fareoh, playing to a packed club of people dressed in clothing ranging from full on Santa costumes, to your usual clubbing attire, to the guy in a LED suit (way to be), wasted no time making sure his presence was known on the decks taking the lead with a big room, bootleg heavy set.
Pop, Videos | Timeflies – Swoon [Music Video]

I never realized how awkwardly entertaining life looks in rewind until I watched this video.
Awkward or not, Timeflies have themselves yet another hit. The caveman club smash featured on their recent chart topping EP, One Night, is almost as cool at the dime piece pole dancing swooning on the American flag in the backdrop of this video. Anyone else feel like “swoon” is one of those interchangeable adjectives that can virtually be placed anywhere in a sentence? Verbs too, actually. Swoon over to iTunes and cop this track along with the rest of Timeflies’ irresistible EP for a loose $3.99!

Posted by ATexas on December 14, 2012
Okay house music, I get it. Like, seriously, I get it. Can I get something a little exciting? Something with a little bit of a build up that isn’t just beep boop beep boop? Oh, what’s that? Vincent Sparrow? Who? What? Oh my god, my feet are moving. Why am I drunk? Who are you? Let’s make out. FACEBOOK FRIENDS! Where are we going? What’s this underground club? Who’s playing? Vincent Sparrow? Who? Get me a whiskey, I’m going to go dance. Ew, stop grinding on me. Let us get into this cab! Let’s climb the Hollywood sign! Fuck off police! Wait this is seriously high up. Lets play that song again. HA HA HA I’m having the best night ever!
Be careful what you wish for. Be thankful that you wished for Vincent Sparrow. Go be irresponsible.
