FTW 1-Year Anniversary, tonight at Privus. Designer Drugs, HPD, etc.

Props to the FTW Crew for producing some of the biggest house/electro themed events in Boston over the course of the past year! They have pretty much made Privus their stomping grounds, bringing in talented producers and DJ's from all over the country as well as locally to play for a packed room of people week in and week out. This week on tap is Designer Drugs (check their bio below), Hot Pink Delorean (who should require no intro whatsoever as they've been instrumental in making all of this happen in the first place), and David Day (the man behind Basstown and a big part of the Speaking in Codes movie!)

Designer Drugs

Designer Drugs is a New York based electro-house duo focused on making stadium rocking bangers. Currently, Designer Drugs is releasing remixes for artists such as Little Boots (Iamsound Records), The Veronicas (Warner Brothers), Thieves Like Us (Kitsune), Jupiter One (Warner Brothers), HeartsRevolution (Iheartcomix), Mission Control (Etc, Etc), Freezepop (Warner Brothers), Hail Social (Flaming Hotz), Protokol (Iheartcomix, over 500,000 copies distributed on CD via Scion), IAMX (formerly of The Sneaker Pimps), and Fake Shark - Real Zombie. Designer Drugs will be releasing their first single on Iheartcomix in mid-October.

Michael Patrick, Designer Drugs’ DJ/Frontman is booking shows throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. With over 11 years experience and the ability to read and work any crowd, he continues to kill it on the dance floor. In 2008 he has DJed at major parties in almost all major cities throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. He teamed up with JHN RDN to create Philadelphia’s best monthly party; LIVE FOREVER.
Both members of Designer Drugs pull from their classical music training to create club anthems with pop sensibilities; encouraging the listener to enjoy the music both in the club and in their living rooms. Slaves to the studio, they focus on top end production and are constantly requested to write, record, mix and master projects for other artists.

Hot Pink Delorean

Their new EP "I Am What Porno Should Be Part 2" has recently hit the streets and is getting a good amount of play from house and electro dj's throughout the US! Check out the links below to sample/purchase MP3's from it.



David Day

David Day is a man of many talents, which include his work as an A&E Editor at Boston's Weekly Dig, helping run and promote Basstown and their slew of events (Back to the Rave, Make It New, etc), and DJ-ing quality house music all over the Boston area. Get there early tonight to catch his set, I'm sure it will be high quality!
