devo-lution
Hey kiddies, here's a short one, hate to pelt you with more than one curse laden fucking email a week, but a few last minute tings came up (actually more like I forgot mentioned them in previous invite...duh!) so thought I'd pass the gas (er, I mean information). If you want off just type beano and I'll plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief I'm off this email list it is...
Today I'll be overdosing on all things Nublu. The famed lil' east villahge club that could is still doing it, doing it, doing it y'know. I'll be on their EVR radio show from 7-8pm and then later at the club proper from 10ish to 2ish. A real deal music scene in manhattan...who woulda thought? Live bands and DJs seven nights a week and one of the best vibes in this lil' two horse town known as nueva york. Its obvious its owned by a musician (for better or for worse...I'm kidding! ) And I'd like to say, as a DJ, one of the best marriages of bands and DJs within a night...again something in short supply in most 'live' music venues. Stop fucking soundchecking over my james brown rekkids, you musician punks! Its all guten in the hooden.

In a semi-recent previous life these cats were responsible (again for better for worse...again I'm kidding! really...) for the iPod revolution (or devolution) at APT on Tuesday nights. Andrew Andrew have their aesthetic down pat and they're the only people I ever knew who got their DJ party listed in Redbook. These kids get the housewives outta the house I tell ya. They've been pluggin' away on EVR for a minute, and have a penchant for the eclectic, so I'm bringing along some wacked out favorites. For the kids of course, its all about the children. And the step-children. Work it to the bone, work-it-to-the-bone...

Yo motherfuckers!
$mall ˘heezey checking in after a little bit of madness. The boat has been stablized, so its time to get it rockin' again...fuck this flag at half mast shit. Full speedo ahead, free you mind and your ass will follow, and the kingdom of heaven is surely within. And don't call me shirley.
If you want of this buster bloodvessel of an e-list just type in ne-ne-na-na-nu-nu and I'll send ya to McDonalds so you can eat 60 big macs. You don't get that do you. Of course you don't. Don't worry, just some ska nerd shit from my yuth.
So tonight at Stolen Moments Musical Murder Inc. we have a truly 'made' gangster on decks, Mr. Gerald McBoing Boing. Me and Robbie have done 8 zillion gigs together over the years and his fingers are among the dustiest when it comes to this crate diggin' game. Don't schlafen herr beeyotches. School is in (and after a few cocktails, it most definitely will be out as well). Lately he's been collecting funky gospel shit, and has way way too much jebus records for a bialy eatin' kosher motherfucker. Go figure. Anyways should be a fun one and of course I'm joined by the esteemed Sims, one of my fave peepholes on this god-forsaken planet. Rekkids for days suckas. Ride those spinnas and stay fly while we drop the crackly prestige sides.

A nice lil' other regular ting just came up on the radio front. Nublu radio on EVR happens 6-8pm, with Queen Majesty taking care of the 1st hour with quality reggae for your jeggae, and Bryan K throwing down b-side funk and breaks for yo' ass. Well, Bryan is jettisoning to Europa for a month or two and axed me to fill in, so, god forbid, $mall ˘hange has a semi-regular radio slot again. Nieuws at 11pm. Actually 7pm til' 8pm, I'll be keeping in the vein of the show and droppin all kindsa stupid, stupid, stupid grooves for the next coupla months. Sticking some funky musical bugs up in your ears ala the wrath of khan. "You see, $˘'s tunes enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later as the tunes grow follows madness and death." Of course, I hope that isn't a determent to listening in. And Queen Majesty always comes correccht so it should be a quality showcase showdown for your Price is Wrong fans. Wardrobe by botany fucking 500. Who else?

In case you miss me on the station of the nation WFMU (yes, I need to get up in that piece mo' often, no doubt) I did a little fill-in for Mr. Finewine last friday for his soul spectacularlistic Downtown Soulville program. Finewine is one of the top dudes in the game and that's some very big shoes to fill. And quite stinky...yo matt, get some oder eaters son! I keed, I keed. Had a lot of fun. To quote Della, it was a very good yeaaar. You can czeck the archive at:
http://wfmu.org/playlists/nd
I still need to finish the goddamn playlist. Oy vey. Lotsa other shows there as well from over the years.
Finally (tho you'll get another update from me), I'm dropping the usual assortment of extremely superstoopid jams for Rubulad's Halloweenie throwdown on Friday the 27th. I may or may not be hard to miss in my gigantic green sombrero and mexican wrestling mask. I know from experience that spinning with a fez is tricky, but this chapeau may be beyond my DJ capability, we shall see. In any case the usual assortment of freaks will come at night with vincent price narrating the making of thriller. There's only one thing more scarier...Michael Jackson narrating the story of ET. Yes I have the deluxe box set. I'm spinning on the early side for once, some if you come toward the beginning you'll hear some extremely wacked out shit. God bless mothefucking rubulad. Keep it sureal people like my man my mellow Mr. Scruff sez.
Catch it while you can, you know how these no fun no dancing quality of who's life authority fucks operate. As my neighbor sez, fuck 'em all Jimmy, fuck 'em all. Indeed. Get a life. Or watch some chris elliot reruns.

That's right, $mall ˘hiz here to spike the punch with another weekly blast o' sheet acid. If you want off this list, just take a swim for the suppository like that dude did in spotting of the trains. I keed. Just say so and I'll drop y'all off like the kids by the pool. Btw did you know the toilet flushes in the opposite direction below the equator? I noticed that a few years ago down under. The southern cross was kinda cool as well.
Anyways not too much to report, everyting's steady as she goes over at Stolen Moments inc. Another week another quarter another dime bag another mono pressed 1500 series. You know how we do. Actually I can't afford most of those muthas but the Japanese reissues do sound dandy. Just to get it straight tho, its jazz by sensibility rather than definition, so if we throw down some classic Mary Jane Girls or Essential Logic or Ray Barretto or Channel Live don't friggin' sue us, just your chiropractor after your booty gets rattled loose. Sims and $˘ always semi-drunken/blunten style on the controls, and we frequently roll the red carpet out to only the finest connis-sewers of vinyl and digital musical artifacts.
This week is no exception as DJ Drez is coming to wreck shop. Longtime west coast DJ/graf head, he's been living in NYC for more than a minute but this is his debut gig. Get out of the house more often homeboy! I'm kidding, we're glad to have this soulstruttin' blackbelt cratedigger in the hizzle to drop classic poplockin' electro, salsa/boogaloo, private press disco, and whatever else suits 'em.
Drinks and treats authored (mostly) by sascha of milk and honey fame, pro-slinger Peter behind the bar. Everything's made fresssh so sometimes it take a minute. Unbunch the panties (yes, I'm talking to the dudes here) and fucking relax already! See y'all in hell.

Because of my current laissez-fair laziness I negleted to tell ya about Nappy G guesting with us at Stolen Moments yesterday. Rest assured it was booty shakin' affair, with homeslice reschooling the fools on the true school classics. Nuff respeck e'erytime, don't sleep on Nappy on decks (and the Timbales, obviously). Stolen Moments is rollin' rollin' rollin' at the East Side Company on Thursdays, 9pm-onwards. The sessions are taped most of the time and subsequently archived on giant step's jukebox. Giantstep.net. We got three very loooong shows up there right now so peeping tom it. Shoutout to my partner Sims who always is down for some Spike Jones. Cocktails by Peter, bar design by Sascha of milk n' honey fame. Its the real fucking deal so drink up. Or have a fresh squeezed OJ/Grapefruit. Or do both.

Saturday me and the missus are back to back for a grand lil' shindig in bushwick, I mean east williamsburg for all you trustafarian hipsterati. But no complaints or judgements, just show up and fucking dance,you little punks. The space is rather sick and fast becoming the 'it' place people, so czeck it before the cops in their infinite wisdom deicide that its much too much fun for this wack ass quality of life town. Brought to you from the folks behind Complacent Nation but under a new banner. Its XXXL people, and goes late. You know how we fucking do. Or you probably don't cos you keep hitting snooze snooze snooze, wondering where all the freaky deaky parties have gone. They're right underneath you. That's right, it's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right. With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane. Let's do the fucking Time Warp again already!
This Saturday, September Twenty Third
TheDanger (formerly Complacent Nation) presents:
Future : Perfect
What is the future you dream of?
This Saturday we offer you a landscape of art, video and
music mixed with dozens of visions of the future we
deserve. Expect one part future fantasy mixed with two
parts performance perfected.
Your Future Sounds Like:
Mission: on Mars - This global-electronic band mixes live
breakbeat rhythms, Indian sitar melodies, space-jazz
guitar, middle eastern drones, into a funk chilled crater
of moon walking beats. Sci-fi fans revel and dream what
could be possible one day.
Chin Chin - Combining an eclectic electric group of
performers with an electric eclectic range of styles, this
is a groove you haven't heard. Be prepared for the hoe
down of a new generation.
DJ Dance and Future Sound Featuring:
World funk & soulful house from Turntables on the Hudson's
Nickodemus & Mariano with live drums by Jimmy Lopez; future
techno from Halcyon's dj Dirtt and Anthony Parasole;
eclectic dance mash from $mall ˘hange and Shakey;
the laid back techno lounge by ImageNode; and classic
hip-hop & electro from dj Grimace.
Your Future Looks Like:
20,000sqft. of raw Brooklyn loft, courtyard and rooftop
broken into touchable manifestations of our future dream.
Experience the ImageNode rooftop plush dome - a womb of
lofi techno and future visuals; climbable sculpture of
wood and shadow by Thomas Beale; new work of future
indelicacy by Ryan O'Conner; flights of fancy by Bunny;
live art battles by four of NYC's finest; grammar games
and robot dance by Action/Direction; retro-future video
projections by Sebastian Patane Masuelli; and installed
art presented by 3rd Ward Brooklyn.
Your Future Is:
Cheap drinks and surprise gifts, costumes and spontaneous
acts of affection. Experience a dozen visions of the
future perfected - spread across six areas of a rebuilt
and reconfigured raw space. For those that have been to
3rd Ward before, be ready for a new experience, we've torn
down walls to make rooms larger and add new areas of
exploration.
Come early, at 9pm the Miss Rockaway Armada will be
hosting a multi-media presentation of their experience
building an art-raft of refuse and floating/performing
down the Mississippi river. This is a vision of the
future perfected, imagine a weeks long art party of pirate
living with 30+ artists and dreamers directly engaging the
middle of this nation. See more about it here:
Stay late, at 2am (or later) the Champagne Ritual will
swarm the space with libations, flowers and exposed skin.
Expect a spectacle of stilt walkers, drummers and hoopers
that makes the future feel possible, presented by Anya
Sapozhnikova.
Our present is perverse but our future is perfect.
@ 3rd Ward Brooklyn
195 Morgan Ave. : East Williamsburg
The space has been redesigned for this event. Walls have
been torn down to create larger rooms and more
exploration. Come discover the changes.
$10 : 9pm through sunrise
Free kisses for costumes.
The paddle for the rest of you.
Your future is perfect.
Note : This event has nothing to do with the The Future
Perfect store on North 6th St. although they do sell
pretty things. This event has everything to do with
verb-tense (really).
good to be back in the loop and hope to see some of yas.
RIP Adam Goldstone. The real fucking deal. We miss ya man!

Ooook kiddies. $mall ˘hizzle with s'more sizzle for your sizzle-lean. If you want off this bacon fat list just tell me who Andre Williams is. That's right, I didn't think so! Google/wikipedia that shit and then I'll take you off.
please NOTE: the following parties are not in chronological order cos, well, I have this big heap party I'm throwing next week, so that kinda gets precedence. But read on cos there's mad schlitz this weekend, Rubulad in Bushwick and opening for Archie Bell and the Dansettes at Joe's Pub. But third things first (or as they say on the playa, "remember, safety THIRD")...

That's right kids, finally a party where it will be decided, who's shit is better. Are you a mod who thinks all good music ended in 1974? Or are you a disco dolly who thinks that when music started? Now lets not get violent, put away your butterfly knives and AK-47s, there IS a sane way to deal with this. Let's settle it on the decks people.
We have 18 fucking DJs, 9 a side, representing their formats. Northern soul, heavy funk, garage rawk. Deep disco, electro and early haus. 2 floors so you can wander at your own free will. Bowling. That right bitches, Galaxie has a two lane bowling alley in their basement, with some vintage pinball/video games to boot. A very stylish spot and yes, we will be going late.
For the Sevens:
Greg Tormo
DJ Hardtop
Alec D. (APT)
Lex (Discovery)
Jeff Dynamite, Quincy, Leon (Truth and Soul)
Soul Cracker and Inbetween
$mall ˘hange
For the Twelves:
Ron Morelli (Reagan Disco Headache)
Pappawheelie (Electrodiscopunks)
Lupe Loop and Alfredo
Shakewell and Duckcomb (Sharegroove)
Catalyst and Simonetti (Rubulad, Troubleman Unlimited)
plus a surprise. Maybe.
All these folks have the shiznit so expect blood. Mods vs Rockers? Gangs of NY? That's chickenshit in comparison to what will go down here folks. So bring your leisure suit or 3 button suit, your Nik Nik shirt or you Fred Perry, whatever suits ya, but be prepared to get down and defend your time period and format of choice. We'll see ya on the dancefloor.
How to get thurr:
We are about a 10 minute drive from williamsburg. It is worth the trip. New underground venue, 2 floors, 2 separate sound systems, bowling lanes, lounges, space-age vibe, pinball, and a very care-free attitude. Unfourtunately, we aren't very close to the train. Car service from Williamsburg or Greenpoint is about $8
TRAINS - Take the JMZ to Myrtle Ave, from there take the M to Forest Ave. (about a 10-12 block walk from there)or take the L to dekalb. (about a 12 block walk)
The Q54 bus goes down Grand Ave. to Metropolitan Ave. Get off at the first stop after you pass mcdonalds.
(we are across from a rite-aid drug store)
But that's not all. Behind door number two, in the recently gentrified Bushwick (or east williamsburg for all you white hipster motherfuckers (this includes me...duh!)), comes the party that can't be stopped, Rubulad. They stick it to the MAN like that end scene in American Me. Making some very fressssh tasting lemonade outta lemons, Rubulad is combining forces with the NKOTB, 3rd Ward, for a massive multiple thousands of sq. foot sheer insanity this Saturday. The usual hodge podge of dementia, marching and live bands, caberet from hell, and DJ heaven. Join me late night for the afterlife at the restaurant at the end of the universe. Or at least til the sun comes up.

From the Morgan Avenue L stop simply follow the address numbers to 195.
From the Grand Street L stop walk down Grand Street to Morgan Avenue, turn right on Morgan and follow the address numbers.
3rd Ward space has lots of space and air and plumbing. We recommend you come early and not miss the performers; weâre proud to present them to you. We do not recommend you bring your own alcohol as weâre guests in someone elseâs space and theyâll probably remove it from you. They have decent prices anyway. We are extremely thankful to the 3rd Ward for adopting this event.
Last and certainly not least in this stellar week of musical madness comes Mr. Tighten Up himself, yes folks There's Gonna Be a Showdown, the masterful OG soul motherfucker Archie Bell comes to NYC and Joe's Pub. Opening sounds the supersoulful funky sister act The Dansettes. And lil' ole me on the decks. While I don't bust them out all the time, here's a nice opportunity to hear some rusty dusty 45 platters, I'll be playing inbtwn the groups and thoroughly enjoying the festivities. I've seen Mr. Bell a few times down at the Ponderosa Stomp festival in Nahlins and Memphis and the man has has shit down pat like Lightning Rod in Hustler's Convention. So get your go go groove on and I'll see you on the dancefloor...

In honor of all the retarded party invites I've been getting...
I've finally started to see the light. It all about model and bottles! What the fuck have I been thinking all these years, just digging for records? What a waste of time. Don't worry, I'm not selling out, I'm buying in. All in bitch, I'm holding ace/king suited. Of course, with this party agenda comes some slight changes/dress codes/etc, so I thought I'd let you know the following about my future parties:
Attention bottle ballers...if you buy 8 bottles of belvigoose, we'll toss in another 8! Plus a gold plated puke bucket and half off your ambulance ride to pump your liver...
When you're 1st entering the club, please make a request in the 1st five minutes of walking in. Obviously if the DJ is not playing the newest, hottest jam that you can lip sync too, well, they suck. In fact, that's a good thing to ask the DJ. 'Did you bring anything good?' Trust me, DJs love hearing that. They know you have discerning tastes and they know that the world revolves around you. Which it does, obviously!
Ladies free before 4:20am. Just bring a can of GREENS to feed the starving children of some country we're exploiting for cheap labor. And please wear something slutty and be somewhat anoretic. Obviously if you're not here to please the men what else are ya good for? We have 5 different leveled VIP rooms. Based on our 'meat' judges at the door we will determine what quality pork chop you are and assign you accordingly.
Men, please spend a stoopid amount of cash, even if you don't have it. Obviously that's the ONLY way to impress the chicks. Max out your mom's credit card if you have to, roll up in a stretch hummer, drop dollars like there's no tomorrow. Save up for property?! What are you, nuts?! Blow it all on an eight ball or a 2000% marked up bottle of watered down booze! Plus free ocean spray cranberry juice and sunny delight! Stay gucci down to the socks. Please wear prada shoes. If they are imitation pradas, you WILL be sent home. Jeans are ok if you have a note from you mom saying she's ironing your bobby brown pleated pants.
Okay, I keed, I keed. But if you are interested those parties mos definitely happen around NYC. Go have 'fun'.
But for the rest of y'all, here's yet another friggin' missive. When will it stop? Unless you tell me in uncertain curse laden terms that you want off this spamorific list, I'll keep feedin' ya, and feedin' ya, and feedin', like that wu-tang skit off the 1st rekkid.
Tonight, tues, I invade stinky south beach again. Aka the meat packing district. I'll be downstairs at ye olde APT. Not only am I bringing my usual unusual bag of musical trix is for kids tricks, but I'm joined by mellow deejay motherfucker Reaganomics of Pure Fire fame (or lack thereof). Aaron is crazy in all the good ways there is to be, has skills to pay the bills, bills, bills, pay your telephone bill, pay your...you get it. Plus he's an arteeest, you should check out his electro-luminecent bugs. Tasty. Should be a tight lil' session, plus APT's soundsystem is somewhat death star-ish. Set phasers to extreme booty annihilation.

My man my mellow DJ Handler axed me to play a few rekkids before he hits the stage with this crazy hebrew MC Y-Love. Blood of Abraham has nothing on this dude. Actually I don't know too much about him but I will be bringing some dope shit to warm ze decks. Expect: only the finest in rapp music. Fuck hip hop. I'm only playing 1/2 an hour around 11 or 11:30ish.

Laterish I'm heading over the the East Side Co. where my partner in forensic music crime lab partner DJ Sims is holding it down with an ole friend DJ Leche. Geo has been on the NYC scene for more than a minute and has crates. Sims is one of my fave peepholes in the world, and Stolen Moments is our thing. Don't test! These sessions are taped and up and running on the giant step jukebox, czeck giantstep.net. Stolen Moments is jazz music by sensibility rather than definition, we let our guests sort out what that means to them. Its a very open format and lots of quality shit being dropped come by for a fressssh cocktail courtesy of a bar menu designed by Sascha of Milk and Honey fame.

That's right kiddies, $˘ with another no rebate update. If you want off ze list tough titties. No one ever escapes...no one! Ok, ok, unbunch those panties, I'll give ya the red card and headbutt your email outta here.
Anyways I'll make this brief like the underwear--ok you've heard that one before. I definitely need some new lines. I'm doing a last minute thing at APT downstairs tomorrow. They only let me out every once in a while, like the Kracken in Clash of the Titans (pre-CGI shit, bitches), to unleash a tidal wave of musical fury for all you virgin sacrifices. I will be well armed with new and old dancehall, heavy funk for the trunk, deep disco, afro-haus, bootilicious electro and bass, semi-random and known rapp, and some spirit jazz to round off the evening. As the great Pinchers once said I'll cut ya like the sword of zorro.
Should be a mildly entertaining evening in the lovely former meat packing district, then it was MPD, and now Stinky South Beach. Ahh the sights, the sounds, the SMELLS of NYC. After your overpriced asian-esque meal that included endangered chilean sea bass (hey, who cares, it tastes great!), come by and hear a hustler of culture do damage on the death star Funktion One soundsystem at ye olde APT (a veteran of the neighborhood at this point).

Y'know, just like the Black Eye'd Sleeze are reppin' in those so bad their bad snickers ads. I keed. As I keep saying, fuck hip hop, the shit is dead. Lets bring back Rapp! Anyways these cats know the time so reset your alarm clock and don't hit the sleep button.

ok paz peepholes. Also a quick message to our world leaders: chill the fuck out and get a clue. I'm audi 5.
"Paging Mister ˘hange.... Mister ˘hange.... You have a tel-le-phone call at the front desk."
There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.
I don't understand.
But all will become clear inna moment. In the meantime if you want off the list just type in 'I know you are but what am I...infinity!" and I'll toss yo trashy email in the cyber-garbage.
So $m. ˘hiz hear with another last minute update no rebate for yas. Its like a unravelling a giant sweater that someone keeps knitting, and knitting, and knitting, and knitting, and knitting....
Ok jeez thelma and louise, if you haven't guess by now I'm DJing before they screen Pee Wee's rather large adventure ride over at the Brooklyn Bridge park. In case you're wondering where ze fucken that is (I sure did, I'm so glad God invented google), its in dumbo underneath (you guessed it) the 59th st. bridge. I keed. You know this. I hope. Otherwise you need help.
Anyways its free, that tasty lil' spot with the different kinds of rice (surprisingly called 'Rice') is hawking food, and they get a gangload of folks to these thinks. Kinda like the monday Bryant Park thing but brooklyn style. I'm DJing before the film starts, from 6pm-8:30ish or so. Pee Wee is one of those flicks that has really stood the test of time, the shit still cracks me up to this day and Paul Reubens is on some genius shit with the writing/acting.

Of course, I'll be running from BK to ze LES for me and Simzee's weekly forray into jazz and beyond, Stolen Moments. Emphasis on the beyond. Its really one of those rare nights in clubland where you can sssttrrreeecccht out and play many, many thing that seem to collect dust on the shelf. Unfortunately there's a lot of beautiful music that for some reason or another isn't qualified to rock a party. And to put it quite simply, we at Stolen Moments say fuck that shit. Lets play some chinese traditional wackiness, lets play some hardcore, some 50's RnB, deep soul ballads, original DeeJay sevens, whatever, along with the more palatable schlitz. God forbid with all these damn remix records, lets actually break out the OG blue note and impulse sides. Lets fucking do this shit.
This week I have some hvw8 help cos Sims is MIA. Daniel Lion-I will be throwing down roots with a capital Rrrr from 9ish till I get back from Dumbolina, and later the great Pat Longo of Primitive Sound System fame will be gracing us with a box of rare jazz sevens. Both these cats have the super stoopid shit. I was just listening to some tasty dubs on Daniel's extremely tasty soundsystem a couple nights ago. Dude has eek-a-mouse before he was eek-a-mouse. Pat was manning the counter at Finyl Vinyl for years, extremely knowledgable and quality peepholes. Deep is not the werd for it. He's on some miles below the earth's surface ren and stimpy shit.

The power of heaven/hell is within.

Description and disinformation follow follow (ala fela):
In this era of inconvenient truths we find ourselves torn
in a battle of the Land vs. the Sea. This Friday you are
invited to participate in an art and performance benefit
event that explores the state of our nation in this era
on the brink.
EMERGENCY
Friday - 7/7 Đ 9pm until late
547 W. 21st St. at 11th Ave

This journey is built of live performance fused with
epic-scale sculpture, DJ's alongside candlelit artifacts
and the eternal comforts of shelter, sustenance, music,
drink and dance.
The gallery space of Holasek Weir Projects has been
transformed into an immersive art landscape featuring a
central shelter and the village of Land vs. the village of
Sea. Upon entering you will be offered the scent of the
earth, the taste of the sea and immaculate/delicate makeup
art by Chiho Omae.
In the Village of Land: Debonair creates a cozy lounge of
mint tea, earthen edibles, and future-telling. In the
Village of Sea: The Miss Rockaway Armada offers watermelon
shots, guitar songs and sailor blues along with oceanic
video projections.
At the center of the gallery Thomas Beale presents a
massive sculpture sheltering tribal performance by Akim
Funk Buddha featuring a kinetic opera of aerial acts, body
balancers and Brazilian drums by Seceda of the Urban Roots
Project, Blumuse Dance, body-poet Kazuma Motomura, Roela
LaMazing, and Akiko the funky geisha. The late night is

This event is a benefit for Emergency, a collective of
artists responding to environmental and political crises
in society. Based in the heart of the Chelsea art market,
Emergency's mission is to reintroduce a social conscience
and the concept of community in an artworld flush with
wealth and egotism. Monies raised by this event will pay
for the construction our 40,000sqft. studio work space.
This is one night of hope and possibiity in this
time of Emergency.

I dont wanna I dont wanna go insane...except its too late for that. As if you've haven't gotten the frickin' memo by now.
$mall ˘hiz with another update for you shitbags. I keed! Love all you motherfuckers. Of course, if you're feeling a little hateration for this list and want off, just tell me your favorite enya song...then we'll both be getting emails we don't want!
So gotta couple tings in the next couple of days/hours. You know me, always giving you PLENTY of notice. In case your wondering, yes, the rest of my life works like this. Tomorrow I'll stop procrastinating. I promise. But in the meantime here's the shimmy:
TONIGHT, Wednes, in a matter of hours, I'll be playing at Subtonic for this thing Bryan aka Spinoza has put together. Spinoza is has been in the trenches of NYC's nightlife for more than a minute and currently runs the eggzellent 'Bunker' shindig that brings BIG name techno mofos to play at the cozy basement of Tonic. Bangin' party. The thing tonight is a special one off 'dub' thing Spinoza's put together with NYC's DJ Olive and Deadbeat from Montreal. I'm in with some heavyweight company so expect some HEAVY as fuck sounds. Olive is known for his years in the illbient/leftfield downtown/BK electronic scene, he's jetsetting around ze world and rarely does NYC gigs these days. He has a couple rekkids out on the Agriculture label, which he helps run. Deadbeat has a slew of releases out on various labels (Scape, Cynosure to name a few), has rocked major festivals from Sonar to Mutek, and is one of those dudes people check these days, quirked out minimal tech tings to crunchy digital dub and beyond, plus he's known to drop dancehall and reggaeton amongst all of that. People who are very serious about this music game and it should be a nice night for the heads. Come EARLY cos I go on at 8pm! That's right. 8. pm. You got like 6 hours. Get something to eat, spray some aquanet super-extra-cement-hold on your fauxhawk mullet and get your fucking ass down there already!

And on thurs thurs thurs Stolen Moments continues and we got a nice line up of folks for the next month or so. This week we welkommen the legendary Steinski, of Double Dee/Mass Media fame. The man behind some of the most famous and influencial cut up records of all time, the Lessons series, homeboy was spinning parties at the Brooklyn Food Co-Op before you suckas were an afterthought on your parents prom night. While Stein is known for his remixes and spoken word LP collection, one thing he's also into is 40s and 50s RnB, especially from New Orleans. Stolen Moments is a party to showcase things you can't play out very often...its a Jazz night, but by sensibility more than definition. Residents Sims and mice-elf round out the selections. Cocktails menu designed by Sascha of Milk n' Honey fame. Don't schlafen on this shit. We're playing the real deal selections. Starts at 9pm for all you underpaid nine to five or six or niners working overtime.

enjoy the weather. I'm down in the basement like Sugarpie DiSanto cold chillin'. The A/C is collecting dust.
Hey party peeps. $mall ˘hange with another automated messsage for all y'all to self destruct to. If you no longer wanted to be debriefed with these classified missives (i.e. 'get me off this list!') no worries. Just send me you're address and I'll mail you some dirty briefs as a going away present.
So yo--Stolen Moments is still cookin', and our upcoming guests are so hot dem pot a bwile! Tonight its just me and Simzee rockin' the decks (literally...they're set on rubber bands), but we have a whole slew of guests coming up in the next coupla months. Not that we're chopped liver or anything. Please people. You should know the drill by now.
The basics. Stolen Moments is a party I've done off/on over the years. The music is jazz, but more by sensibility rather than strict definition. We play what we fucking want. Some deep shit, some fun shit, some old, some new, a little out, a little in, and all the areas inbetween.
For this excursion into nowhere I've teamed up with DJ Sims. Her 'Popular Corner' party in the recent past was one of my favorites, she had a real community of guest DJs and folks, put a lot of work into flyers (there was even a yearbook), and we're looking to merge some of those concepts within the night. We have a aresnal of NYC's finest diggers lined up to drop some crackly wax.
Alll whilst you sip on your expertly made cocktails. Remember, is Sascha of Milk and Honey is one of the owners, alongside Carlos from Sapphire. People who know the deal and been doing it in NYC long before there was Starbucks.

Thursday June 22nd (the following week) we welkommen the legendary Steinki, who's rekkids with Double Dee (Lessions 1, 2, 3) from the early-mid 80s were a huge influence on folks like Cut Chemist, Shadow, Coldcut, etc. Stein was diggin' before most of y'all were an aftherthought on your parents prom night. For our (very loosely termed) 'jazz' night, he'll be diggin' up seldom played 50s nahlins sides, early Eddie Bo and Art Neville and the like, with whatever else he feels like throwing down. You ever hear his remix of Jazzy Sensation? Killer. That's my only request.
Some other folks on the horizon: Leche, Jazzy Nice, Pat Longo (Primitive Sound System), Phast Phreddie, Alec D (APT), Gerald McBoing Boing, Shakewell, Jim Georgiou.
see ya there (or somewheres)

Hey hoochie mamas...its cousin $˘ with a lil' discounted smoke damaged furniture for the dining room of your mind. Huh? I didn't get that either.
btw if you want off this list, just make it stop raining. I'm a lil' tired of it, but the family of canadian honkers hanging out in the back lawn of my apartment complex aren't complainin'.
A couple of shindigs of note in the next couple. The ongoing jazz-esque experiment known at Stolen Moments continues over at the East Side Company on Thursdaze...Moscow Mules and rare Ray Baretto. What we call living it up, bitches! And a friday one off thang courtesy of the fine folks at FreeNYC, a free events listings service for all you broke ass mofos trying to live in this real estate nitro balloon of a town we live in. Remember to inhale deeply. Is it me or does my voice sound wiErD?
I'll keep it brief like the underwear I'm not wearing. Thursday. Stolen Moments. Jazz, not by definition, but by sensibility. Which is another way of saying we're playing whatever the fuck we want, but leaning towards a classy lounge sensibility. And you'll probably hear some Lee Morgan at some point, but no promises. Me ($˘ ) and the esteemed DJ Sims, who's chillin' in Jamaica this week. So just me but I have a few records and hope to entertain. And maybe Leche if he cares to crash the party. The East Side Company's bar menu was designed by one of the best in the busines...Sascha of Milk and Honey fame. Shit is reeediculous. Remember to pace yourself. If you plan on passing out just leave a note in your shirt pocket with an address and some cab fair, we'll be sure 'take care' of ya. When Sims gets back we'll be posting a full schedule of guest spinnas, we're lining 'em up as we speaketh.

Well anyways the FreeNYC folks are definitely some good peoples and trying to keep NYC surreal and alladat.

June 9th: BugJuice 1.0 - New York's Finest
The first BugJuice event of the summer kicks off with a collection of the finest talent our little island has to offer. From hip-hop to funk to grime to booty to future reggae, tonight's line-up represents everthing that's bubbling in the city. The line-up is stellar with 2 DJs, 2 live acts, and live photographic projections all night
2-Late.com Launch Party

The goal is to feature independent designers, shop owners and stylish individuals throughout New York City. Motivated by the eclectic mix of people, styles and the expression of oneself through fashion; 2-late highlights local talent and creativity while inspiring individuality in you.
Mad E.P. - Live
Iowa native Matthew Peters, a.k.a. Mad EP, originally was a cellist and later a producer of the Chicago Symphony radio broadcasts. He has been creating his unique soundscapes with live instrumentations, found sounds, and field recordings for the past 7 years in various studio and performance environments.

He is a founding member of the improvisational Manhattan Gimp Project, one half of the hip-hop duo Mad/EQ, resident sound designer for the laptop storytelling trio the Psychasthenia Society as well as a number of other collaborative projects with artists such as the Shadow Huntaz, Drop the Lime, Jun Jensen, and David Young. His releases are available on Hymen Records and Ad Noiseam.
Teddy Sczudlo - Projecting Live Photos all Night
Teddy Sczudlo has been breaking ground in hip hop photography for years. His portfolio is a veritable who's who of the game, shot with an introspective eye for confidence and artistry. Of course, Sczudlo's work run's much deeper then just photographing musicians... he also takes an in depth look at the banality of middle-class suburban culture. Tonight he turn's the camera on YOU as he roams the party shooting and projecting photograph's live on the wall of the dancefloor... come correct for the lensman!
$mall Change
$mall ˘hange (aka James Dier) will never stop. A musical addict, he's been collecting and DJing for over 15 years, has 10s of thousands of records, in every conceivable genre and time period. Seriously deep crates in funk, jazz, blues, soul, latin, reggae, dancehall, hip hop, house, breaks, jungle, booty bass, classics, rawk n' roll, punk, vintage RnB, disco, downtempo, ambient, experimental... you get the picture. Some people say they're eclectic--this homeslice lives it, with the skills to mix it all together.
$mall ˘hange's latest mix, Soundclash is a musical concentration of all things Jamaican, or JA inspired. From vintage and modern dancehall to the heaviest dubs, Jamaican funk and disco covers, reggae samplin' hip hop 12"s, classic ska sides and rare 2-Tone, vintage and modern ragga jungle, turntablist ska tracks and even dancehall singers doing opera. Musical murderation of the past, present and future. 66(!) tracks in all. Some real classics, and some real obscurities. Some real music. What a concept, eh?
Subatomic Sound System (live)
Subatomic Sound System is a production crew / live soundsystem / mobile studio / musician's collective born and raised in New York City by Emch and Tha Riddim Doktor. Subatomic fuses the DJ soundsystem tradition with dub studio techniques, bringing the studio flavor into the soundsystem to detonate an improvised explosive new style of music and live performance that combines the flow and diversity of DJ sets, the energy and improvisation of bands, and the sound manipulation techniques of the studio laboratory. Classic and original dub, roots, and dancehall reggae get mashed up with futuristic hip hop and space age drum and bass rhythms that are reworked and rearranged in real time collaborative interaction with a diverse crew of MCs, vocalists, and musicians. Simultaneously, the entire sound is mixed and manipulated live on the spot.
Their latest release, On All Frequencies, "takes on dub, underground hip hop, broken-beat and dancehall and packs them into 14 sonic gems. [The song] 'Ghetto Champion' is what Damien Marley should have been working on... It gives me the same feeling I get listening to early Massive Attack work. Not because of the sound directly, but because of the artistic energy & flavor everyone brings into the project. (ProperlyChilled.com)"
DJ Synapse
Transmitting from the planet Breakbeat, DJ Synapse has been collecting and presenting vinyl and other musical sources for many many years. He's a DJ, Organizer, Promoter, Culture Purveyor, and the Promotional Director for Beautiful/Decay Magazine NYC. As a DJ, Synapse is the kind that makes asses sway, while their minds say "Damn...some DJs really DO something besides just play records. He's shared stages with De La Soul, Mos Def, MF Doom, Immortal Technique, Jazzy Jay, Evil Dee, Prince Paul, Vikter Duplait, Red Aalert, Afrika Baby Bam (Jungle Bros.), Stretch Armstrong, Neil Armstrong, Jus Ske, DJ Kiva, Kool Herc, and many more... He mixes Funk, Soul, Reggae, Hip Hop, Breaks, Rock and more.
DRINK SPECIALS!
In addition to an hour of open bar from 10:30 - 11:30, each Bug Juice event will feature a signature $3 cocktail created especially for the party by the Bug Juice crew. It's our little way of helping you party all night while keeping your drink tab in check... Just ask for it by name!
Editor's Note: Like all FreeNYC events, everyone involved is top notch and equally part of making the party happen. Therefore, we list all participents in an alphabetical order that does not reflect set times. We create events that are designed to be enjoyable all night long and we urge you to check out everything the evening has to offer. Bug Juice is 21+ and free before 11:00pm ($5 after to support the participants).
