Louie Vega is a house legend who needs no introduction! He does NOT play Boston frequently (maybe once a year if you’re lucky) so do not miss out when he hits up Underbar tomorrow, especially if deep and soulful stuff is your name of the game. Bruno is opening, who is a local legend in his own right. Presale tickets will most likely sell out, so be sure to get them here; very limited quantities will be available at the door.
A lot of good events happening tomorrow night peoples. First up is Soulwax and Hot Pink Delorean at Underbar, hosted by Scion! Many probably know Soulwax under their other alias "2 Many DJ's"; they've been producing for awhile now and have been busy over the past months working on Tiga's debut album as well as their album and video project "Part of the Weekend Never Dies" which was released last year. The music they produce is pretty eclectic, during the past several years they've honed in on electro and even stuff with a vocal indie rock edge, but who knows what their future projects will entail. If you haven't heard them before, their Night Versions album from 2005 is a good place to start. Check the clips below, and get there early to catch Hot Pink Delorean, they've been coming out with so many new tracks lately that every set they play is loaded with new tracks and remixes!
If minimal techno is more your bag (baby) then Make It New has a great night planned over at the Middlesex. They have two artists who produce and play on the experimental tip on tap. Alva Noto is a German composer who is well known for creating compositions with unconventional sounds and really pushing the envelope when it comes to his entire workflow. He is well respected as a musician and has performed at highly esteemed events such as Mutek in recent history. Byetone is also playing; he is well known as a minimal producer but he's also a respected graphic designer as well. So it should be no surprise that he references typography in his album from last year titled "Death of a Typographer". Be sure to check these two producers, along with Volvox, tomorrow at the Middlesex!
And for the drum and bass heads, there's always Elements! Local producers The Statesmen are going to be playing, and if you've been regularly going to dnb events within Boston for a minute now you know these guys already. They are the biggest supporters of Boston's scene, it is a rarity when you don't see at least one member from this assemblage out at a drum and bass event. When they're not busy in the studio crafting their sound, they're throwing their event "Seismic" at Goodlife and Enormous Room. Check their myspace for their most recent tunes, such as Smile and Sandcastles.
Mstrkrft makes their return to the Bean! They smashed up the Estate the last time they played here last october; I'm sure they're going to do exactly the same once again. Their Fist of God album (check out preview/download links at the bottom of this post) has been in heavy rotation from dj's over the past several months, and feature tracks from the likes of N.O.R.E., John Legend, E-40, and the Bloody Beetroots. Pretty diverse selection!
Hot Pink Delorean on opening duty! If you're from Boston and in the scene you should know these guys! A production team going from strength to strength with their EP's they've been releasing on Honeypot, Matt continues to work relentlessly in the studio churning out tracks while Crisis & Incite tour the world playing them out.
