the week in Dance w/ David Bruno (04/19/07)
DOWNLOAD: Hot Chip - Over And Over (party Ben's Smell Of Repetition Remix) (MP3)
What did you think of the shows?
Ghostland Observatory @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC - April 18, 2007 (CRED)
Soulwax @ Hiro Ballroom, NYC - April 17, 2007
Ratatat @ Webster Hall, NYC - April 18, 2007 (CRED)
New York is getting a serious dose of live electronic music this week. Soulwax kicked it off on Tuesday at Hiro by blistering through their fantastic Nite Versions live set.
Last night (Wednesday) was total electronic mayhem. Soulwax took on Studio B (reviews at the Simple Mission & Show Trotta), Ghostland Observatory (and a laser!) took over Bowery Ballroom (review at Shelves of Vinyl), and Ratatat (and smoke machines) packed Webster Hall (review at the Music Slut).
I can't remember the last time two Bowery Presents venues featured electronic music on the same night. Dancing is illegal in the clubs, so you might as well put on your sequined heels and dance on the Marshall stacks. You can keep on dancin' all weekend: Hot Chip starts a two day run at Webster Hall tonight (April 19).
Check Hot Chip's Myspace for a new track, "My Piano" from their forthcoming DJ-Kicks mix CD!

as far as i know, dancing is LEGAL at webster hall... though i don't know what you'd do if someone caught you.

soulwax killed at studio b last night. so glad it wasn't as ridiculously packed as klaxons. it was nice to be able to dance, rehydrate and easily find your friends. though, i have to say, i did miss the impromptu stripper from their last studio b show.

Soulwax was *awesome* at Hiro

Soulwax was the truth!! God damn those guys know how to get the place going.
Ooooooh it's ON for Hot Chip tonight!!
I'm actually planning on leading a warm-up jog and group stretch outside of Webster Hall. Don't wanna pull a muscle in there.

I went to the Fischerspooner show on Sullivan and it was retarded. I could hardly even associate the music that was being played with the talent of Fischerspooner. It was progressive house and sounded like the same track for 32 minutes. Also, someone please tell NYU students how to party because its just sad to watch.
