Bassic Tonight! King Cannibal, Steppo & Vinyl Blight. 1.27.10

Very much a last minute post, but be sure to get down to Goodlife tonight to check out King Cannibal, Steppo, and Vinyl Blight! If you’re in the local dubstep scene, these guys don’t even need an introduction. But of course, I’m going to give them one anyways.

“Art school dropout ZILLA (government name Dylan Richards) began working on his own brand of super-evolved mixes towards the latter end of the nineties as a reaction to the glut of uninspiring mix compilations that had began to flood the industry. The first salvo against conformity was A Friendly Game of Chess , a self-funded, hand-sprayed, highly under-the-counter mix project with Lex Records DJ and friend Buddy Peace. The highly stylised conceptual expression of work that combined a rich fusion of textures together with strong themes and motifs began to ignite more than their own imaginations, selling out in just 48 hours and earning high praise on a global scale. ”
- From ninjatune.net

Join us on this evening of Mayhem with special guest King Cannibal. Opening pressure will be provided by Rhode Island’s own Steppo and Boston based breakcore artist Vinyl Blight. It’s going to get serious so get there early otherwise you might be stuck out in the cold!

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.

Tonight 1.8.10! Omar S at Goodlife. Evil Eddie Richards at Rise Afterhours.

Never Say Never presents Omar S, of FXHE Records, in Detroit, at the Good Life January 8th, with Alex and Ingy.

Omar S is a true Detroit original. From his seminal early releases on his label FXHE, caned by the likes of DJ Hell, to universally acclaimed masterpieces like Psychotic Photosynthesis, from mentoring Seth Troxler and Kyle Hall to putting out the amazing Fabric 45, considered by RA the mix of the year and one of the best in the series ever, from killing dancefloors around the world to killing those in our stateside backyards, Omar S has set the dance music world on fire. Famous for his uncompromising, raw, minimal and futuristic sound as well as his love of racing cars and fucking with interviewers, Omar is considered the Grand Son of Detroit Techno.

He has been killing dancefloors and festivals all over the world such as at Berghain, Panorama Bar, Unsound, Fabric, Yello and Womb. 

Omar S makes his Boston debut at the Good Life for Never Say Never, with Alex from Queens (12 inches of Pleasure) and Mark Ingram (Sleekit).

More information at www.goodlife.com or www.neversayneverparty.com

The Good Life is located at 28 Kingston St. Boston. Admission is $5 before 11pm, $7 after.

DON’T SLEEP !



Also for those who want to keep the party going :

Those attending Omar S at the Good Life will have reduced admission to RISE that night. Acid house legend and English rave pioneer “Evil” Eddie Richards will be making a super rare appearance in Boston:

New Years Eve 2010: Dance Music Event Guide For Downtown Boston

All right folks, this coming Thursday is going to be a busy one! For those who like dance or electronic music, there’s going to be a ton of options for the night. I’ve been planning on doing a post covering the events for awhile but knowing there would be so many I didn’t want it to be overkill, as I’m sure your Facebook and Myspace inboxes are rammed with e-flyers for a lot of these as well.

The way I’m going to do this is I am going to post a small section of the flyer of each party formatted to fit the layout of BBD, and then under it will be some very brief info about the event. From there, it will be linked to the Facebook event which you can access if you want to get additional info. Also, if you need to purchase an advance ticket, I included links for where you can do that also.

I’ll be at New Years Rezolution and most likely Rise for afterhours, so see you guys there. Party safe, yo! And promoters- if there is anything I missed (which I’m sure there will be) do not hesitate to contact me.

PS: The Throwed/Paper party at Rise is the ONLY 18+ event that I am aware of, and their afterhours is the only spot you can get your groove on after 2am! Also, New Years Rezolution is the only one (again, to my knowledge) that will be focusing on the broken beat (dubstep, drum & bass, and breaks).

I was working on a few projects over the weekend and wasn’t able to get any content added here, but did manage to get out to a bunch of parties regardless.

Marz Presents John Tejada @ Good Life & Rise Afterhourse, Tonight 12.11.09

This is Tejada’s third performance in Boston this year; trust me, having seen the first two, you don’t want to miss this if you’re a fan of house music!

JOHN TEJADA palette recordings LA

Normally associated with his peers in techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo.

RISE - Boston’s Afterhours

VINCENZO terdrop, dessous, poker flat, Berlin
Vincenzo’s serious interest in music began as a teenager, listening to Hip Hop and other styles of black music. Later, in the late 80’s, when Acid House reached the europe, he was infected by the sound and energy of this new type of club music. He started out his dj career playing at small clubs and private parties and soon Vincenzo found himself involved in the Hamburg club scene. Transcending both House and Techno genres, Vincenzo has became a household name.

The U.S.S ODYSSEY is under attack! War is upon us!

We’re being invaded by the west coast, more specifically, California’s ultimate super party, THE HEIST. Fugitive DJ VOLTERRA, has launched a merciless onslaught of beats upon the ODYSSEY. We must defend ourselves!

Friday December 4th, we will battle! 

Downstairs the weapons will be high powered Electro House, Dutch and Progressive. 

Upstairs, Disco, NuDisco, Cosmic, Indie and beyond. 

Our first chapter in the fight for galactic supremacy. Sign up today and join our crew… the ODYSSEY needs YOU!

This past May, HYPHY CRUNK literally melted Rise to the ground in a 4 HR set that obviously to this day, NO ONE HAS FORGOTTEN.

Since then, all we have heard is “YOU NEED TO BRING THAT GUY BACK”

Well. HES BACK.

HYPHY CRUNK DJs and operates the largest weekly dance event in Southern California, the Heist. It has sold out over 60 WEEKS STRAIGHT, hitting capacity and pushing 1600 people each week. His style and energy is second to none, and falls directly in line with SO DOPE’s style of over the top dance mayhem.

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
