Joakim
It’s been a very exciting week in dance, with both Bassment Jaxx and Royksopp show announcements. Unfortunately we still have to wait a few months before those happen. In the meantime, here is what’s going on this weekend:
Fixed‘s return to the Tribeca Grand last month was awesome, featuring a live performance from Free Energy and a great dj set from Riton. This Saturday’s (8/22) party should be just as much fun, with a dj set from Tigersushi label head Joakim (whose Watermelon Bubblicious EP, available on iTunes and Beatport, has been getting loads of support this summer) and a live performance by the Drums. Check out the latest episode of Finger on the Pulse’s new radio show, Snacky Tunes, for a mix & interview from Fixed’s JDH. Party info below:
