the week in Dance w/ Showtrotta (Saturday & Sunday)
Xavier de Rosnay
As you've probably already heard, Xavier de Rosnay of Justice is deejaying at Le Royale tonight. Yes, $20 is kind of steep, but I have to agree with Anon. 12:23's comment:
"their DJ sets are a million times better than their actual live shows. the stuff they dropped into their set at their afterparty at studio b (post-terminal 5, not msg) was brilliant."Xavier spins an excellent blend of electro, pop, and tons of the unexpected. Take Justice's Xmas mix or their Essential Mix for BBC's Radio 1, make them a bit more electro/dance heavy and that's probably what you can expect for Saturday's set. Tickets here
And two less pricey options for Saturday:
Gui Boratto
A few months ago you couldn't read an electro blog without see Gui Boratto's 'Chromophobia' on a "favorite albums of '07" list. Unfortunately this is one I still have yet to pick up, but I have heard and read enough to know that Saturday's show should be nothing short of amazing. Not a traditional, crate-digging deejay, expect to hear a range of his own tracks and remixes delivered live with the aid of his laptop and a few controllers adding an upbeat and immediate feel, "Making the Minimum Sound Like More".
Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life
JDH and Dave P keep the crowd going along with Belgian up and comer Jona whose electro/techno/house-influenced tunes have drawn comparisons to Booka Shade and Apparat.
$10 advanced tickets available here and at Other Music (15 E. 4th St. NYC). $12 at the door.
Also tonight (Saturday):
$7 with RSVP to lys@meanredproductions.com, $12 at the door.
Sunday:
Closing out yet another week of dance madness in New York City, Sunday gives you one last chance to catch Hot Chip (dj set) after their 2 sold out shows this week:
Email events@rbarnyc.com or call 212-334-0484 for tickets.

What's with all the cameras? Who goes to a club with a camera?
