Kavinsky (CRED)

As I mentioned last week, after a string of disappointing deejay sets I've been reluctant to allow myself to get too excited even when acts I've previously been amazed by come to town. I did a pretty good job of staying calm leading up to Kavinsky's set at Studio B on Saturday. Firstly, I have to give props to Jen Lasher for spinning a set that was much more interesting than many more well-known DJ sets I've seen recently. She covered quite a lot of ground in terms of dance music, and she wasn't afraid to drop a few oddballs and pop songs in there either. She took a relatively tame and sparse midnight Studio B crowd and whipped them into a dancing frenzy by the time Kavinsky took the decks at 2.

When that finally happened I found myself desperately hoping his set would be good and thankfully it was! He started off well, playing Mr. Oizo's remix of "Merrymaking at My Place" by Calvin Harris (who makes his way back to NYC this Monday), and D.I.M.'s remix of "My People" by The Presets a few songs in. He also played some electro that was less recent, but worked well despite this because of his timing, choices, and good mixing. About a half an hour or so in, something shifted, and Kavinsky's set went from good, to one of the most fun sets I've ever gotten down to. It was the perfect mix of classic dance tracks, brand new electro (he played the two new SebastiAn tracks which are perfect for the floor and a loud system), old electro, and random-ness (Phil Collins - Sussudio?!). He kept "the B"'s floor the most packed I've seen it in a while until a little after 4. It was easily one of the best sets I've witnessed this year. You can read my more detailed review here and stream a playlist I made of close to 20 of the tracks Kavinsky dropped at the B that night.

This weekend is another one full of dance. Get ready to start making decisions. Here is what is happening on Thursday (April 24, 2008) alone!.....

Mr. Oizo @ Studio B, Brooklyn, NYC - June 9, 2007 - (CRED)

His set evoked more than one collective "What the fuk???" from us. The Ed Banger crew simply makes and plays some ridiculous music. [lazyrobots]

Kavinsky played the night before. Were they (Kavinsky and/or Oizo) good, or bad?

Mr. Oizo

If you caught me on the Brooklyn Vegan Blog Radio Show this week on Sirius, you might have heard us mention the upcoming People Don't Dance No More party June 15th at the Vault at Element. We'll be dancing to the sounds of one of the newest DFA signees (or is it signings?): Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair. Andy's upcoming releases on DFA mix a strong love of early 90s techno and early 80s slutty disco, as well as some collaborations with Antony on vocals.

Check out the Myspace for "Anthene" and "Classique2". Andy did a guest mix for Tim Sweeney's always stellar Beats in Space a few weeks ago (MP3 above). While you are listening shoot an email to the People Don't Dance RSVP $5 reduced list...

The full tracklisting to the Sirius Blog Radio show is all the way down at the bottom of the post.

Two absolutely smashing nights at Studio B this weekend. Friday night has Ed Banger's Kavinsky making his NYC debut at the Fun party. You might recognize Kavinsky's name from your Daft Punk ticket. He's going out on tour with the robots this summer. He loves him some 80s nitemusic.

On Saturday night, Fixed features another super ridiculous Ed Banger NYC debut DJ set from Mr. Oizo. If you listened to dance music, or watched TV in Europe, in 1999 you know "Flatbeat". If you've been listening to the Ed Banger sound this year, you'll know Mr. Oizo from his production work for Uffie, and remixes for Cassius and the Scissor Sisters. Just a word to the wise, its pronounced "Wah-zo" and his beats are as stunted, sleazy, and slutty as they come. His Transexual EP is the sluttiest yet and comes out this summer on Ed Banger. Added bonus, In Flagranti is playing live.

Thanks to your favorite malt likker, Colt 45 is giving free entrance to 300 people to the Fixed party on Saturday. Email TalesofNYC@viceland.com and tell them why you like Colt 45. (editor's note: duh. because it works every time)
