Make It New Presents Miracles Club, Middlesex Lounge, 12.8.11

When you hear the phrase “live dance music” you usually consider there are bongos in the equation and perhaps a whistle.

Portland Oregon’s Miracles Club replaces those things with live drum machines (808, 909, you know) and vocals from Honey Owens. It’s such a unique style they’ve been called “vintage house.” Their cover of “Can You Feel It,” Church Song” and especially “Light of Love” has everyone talking. So much so the Grammy-nominated Cut Copy picked them up for their own label: Cutters.

Call them what you will, there’s no doubt you’ll be dancing tonight, enraptured through the classic house stylings of live electronic music. Believe it. They are going to make you sweat.
