Basstown Visions @ Goodlife, Plus 5-Hour Mike Swells Set @ Rise, 2.12.11

Jordan Dare is an icon of Montreal nightlife. Purveyor of dark, artsy techno and electro, Jordan is a regular DJ at Voyeur and I ♥ Neon, two of Montreal’s most insane dance spectaculars. Currently releasing on My Favorite Robot, he is also associated with Tiga’s genre-busting TURBO Records, having previously released on their White Leather sublabel.

Jordan arrived in Montreal in the early 90’s from the US, and made his name on the vibrant Montreal electronic scene in as little time as it takes to cross the border. Starting out as a prominent drum n’ bass DJ in the late 90s, Dare learned how to vary his style to keep winning over crowds for the next 10 years and became known as one of the most compelling locals DJs thanks to his dark electro mixes.

6am mix by Jordan Dare

Come explore the dark corners of the club and your mind with the sexiest and most mind-bending dance music on the planet!

Opening sets by your favorite Basstown residents: Volvox, Die Young, Coralcola and David Day!

Basstown Visions @ Goodlife, 12.11.10 Feat. Donna Summer, Dev/Null, Etc

VISIONS WITH DJ DONNA SUMMER (NIGHTSHIFTERS)

Jason Forrest is a rare mind in electronic music. Able to play a noisey set, to the mash-up crowd, in a dub war or hard to the core. As DJ Donna Summer he has smashed clubs around the world. Saturday, he comes to our part of it.

Hostage - Roll (DJ Donna Summer remix) by Dj Donna Summer

In part thanks to Dev/Null, Boston’s original gangsta of true rave. Whether at Hearthrob or Thunderdome or after hours, Pete knows how to party.

Summer of Sloth mix 2010 by DevNull-DJ

They’ll both be at Good Life’s Visions party. Summer is celebrating his newest venture, Nightshifters music, a joint effort with Trouble and Bass. He’s just returned to NYC from Berlin where he became somewhat of a club legend.

Coralcola and David Day play to the crowd with a mix of screwed hits, smooth jams and crackling new remixes.

This is December 2010, it’s time to party. And if you party, Jason Forrest is your favorite new DJ.

FAMILY, RELATIVES AND RANDOS

Its here once again. That oh-so-crucial event that allows to walk down the block to see the best in dub, techno, drum & bass, glitch hop, and spine-sizzling bass in general. 

This is the last time your hosts will be exclusively manning the decks, so we’re going to be pulling out our fire chunes and secret weapons to impress you guys one last time and deconstruct the dancefloor. 

From here on out we’ll be summoning the best in our business! From legends to up-and-comers, look forward to some serious bassfunk on your think tank at your local family Funktion!

VISIONS SATURDAY 
WITH SANTIAGO CABALLERO AND CORALCOLA

Visions brings it home this weekend with two of Boston’s favorite new voices.

Santiago Caballero has been crushing clubs since he sprung out of school in Boston, from playing nights at Suite to winning the inugural Together DJ competition. His soundcloud shows off original remixes and some killer DJ mixes:
http://soundcloud.com/santiagocaballero

September 2010 Mix by Santiago Caballero

His sound is playful, well-mixed and always makes a sweat. His recent DJ sets in Miami, and of course opening for DirtyBird during Together, can attest to that.

Coralcola is Worcester’s mad genius, moving between everything from summer mix-tape madness to the screwed sounds of SSLLOOWW. We fell in love with him when he appeared to open for Gui Boratto in a wizard outfit and haven’t ever fell out. 
You can find his Eggirl here:
http://www.coralcola.net/egggirl.html

Coralcola always plays music you will like … in the future.

Joining these two stars are Basstown residents Volvox, David Day and DJ Die Young.

Visions is the second Saturday of every month, the Good Life residency focused on playing house and techno, but playing everything in between. We hope you’ll join us.

Abe Duque/Basstown and Kevin Saunderson/12 Inches Pics Are Uploaded!

12 Inches of Pleasure Featuring Kevin Saunderson :: Middlesex Lounge :: 10.10.10

Basstown & History Group Presents Abe Duque at Goodlife, 10.9.10

ABE DUQUE IS IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.

The surname is pronounced “Du-kay”. He jokingly describes himself as one of the “few producers still licensed to use the 303”. But with a career that started in the early days of house at New York’s notorious Limelight, Abe Duque has been at the head of the acid-house and underground-techno table since his earliest releases way back in 1993.

Abe has also been behind some of DJ Hell’s greatest hits, including the smash hit KEEP ON WAITING.

We are VERY excited to bring this electronic veteran to Boston for Visions! Abe will be playing LIVE using 303s and other gear to compose a seamless set of his own productions.

Check out this sweat-inducing, body-jacking hi energy mix for a taste of what’s to come! Abe’s style is a breath of fresh air drawn directly from the original spirit of electronic dance music!

Juno Mix:
http://www.play.fm/recording/junoplusremix36259#play_36259

Joining Abe downstairs will be Basstown residents VOLVOX and MISTAKER.

Upstairs DAVID DAY and DJ DIE YOUNG will play funk and dance jams all night. Something for everyone!

Another month, another series of VISIONS.

In December, Basstown brought you a night to remember as Scottie B came with his original Baltimore sound to Good Life. Now we’re heading to NYC to drum up the coolest DJ in Bushwick, Cobra Krames.

Breaking out of the internet, Krames was one of the first to capitalize on the return of party raps and hand claps, taking an immense knowledge of music and boiling it down into mix after cracking mix. If the words Mad Decent, Flamin’ Hotz or Hatchmatik get your attention, this is your party.

the last time Mr. Krames rolled through Boston in January, it was for Thunderdome X. It was cold. It was miserable. But it was at the Greek Club. It was packed. And sweaty. And crazy.

Come share our Visions.

With Mr. Mistaker, the actually young DJ Die Young, that gumball David Day and the incomparable DJ Volvox.

I’ve had the past few days off, so I’ve able to get out and about a lot this week, feels just like being a college student all over again! Here’s some pics of the parties I was at the past few days.

Basstown presents Visions @ the Goodlife, Saturday 11.7.09

The Basstown monthly return in the form of Visions and for November, we have one crazy-ass line-up. We can hardly believe how it came together ourselves.

DOWNSTAIRS

It’s the full international techno force of Caged Baby. This is a guy who closed the Ibiza super-party known as We Love Space. This is a guy name-checked by Pete Tong, a guy whoh has residencies as Pacha, Creamfields, Big Day Out (Australia) and spins the techno and house we love, albeit in a rapid-fire way that will make you cry.

SUPPORT FROM: Volvox and David Day

UPSTAIRS

From Montreal, Huggs is a favorite of Aoki, Cosmo Baker and Jokers of the Scene. When it comes to the electro that has taken over club-land, Huggs isn’t just an O.G., he’s an O.G. of O.G.s. Right in line with Boston favs Certified Bananas and Devlin and Darko. From the NYC cool of Dances With White Girls and Lauren Flax, he’s the real deal.

SUPPORT FROM: Red Foxxx and Mistaker

We don’t know how this talent configuration happened. And if we did, we probably wouldn’t tell you anyway. This sounds like some hype nonsense, but we’re not kidding or hyping this at all, this is a party the likes that these two floors have never seen.

And all for five bucks.

The best part? The beneficiary, the result, the end all be all, the whole reason this whole thing is going down is to make one person sweat like never before. And that person is 

YOU.

Basstown presents Visions @ the Goodlife, Saturday 10.10.09

After a few months of dormancy, the Basstown monthly is back and badder than ever. Red Foxx joins the team, Mistaker returns and of course residents Volvox and Die Young hold it down.

VISIONS

Each month, we’ll bring you two floors of different sounds, both equally delicious.

CERTIFIED BANANAS has gone from Enormous Room meltdowns to Thunderdome IV to A-Trak’s Fools Gold records (Kid Sister, Treasure Fingers, Laidback Luke). They blew up in Providence and took over the world. They’re back to let you know.

OBJECT GROUP (aka Alvin Aronson) also comes from Providence, in league with Morgan Louis and Christopher Wade, Aronson began LOVELIFE, the secret speak-easy night with taste to spare. His exquisite taste and masterful mixing has made him a long-time favorite.

So bring $5, ears to hear and feet to move. This is the new Basstown monthly. It’s the new Good Life it’s a series of
