Re:Set Presents KiNK and Volvox at the Phoenix Landing, 4.7.11

Who’s ready for some proper acid house/techno tonight? The Midweek Techno gang have recently revamped their weekly at the Phoenix Landing (512 Mass Ave, Cambridge), titling it Re:Set. KiNK originally caught my attention about a year ago from an EP he released on Ovum Recordings that included the following song, which eventually went on to become one of the biggest anthems of the year:

Following this, it also came to my attention that when this guy plays live, it isn’t just a DJ set, but rather live PA, using entirely vintage analog drum machines, synths, and samplers. And as evidenced by the videos below, he does a pretty damn good job at improvising live, whether it’s in his bedroom or in front of thousands of people:

So if you’re sold on KiNK, then come check him play Re:Set tonight, alongside local favorite Volvox. The Phoenix is 19+, and only $5 if you’re there before 11pm. Show kicks off at 9:30pm.

Bassnectar and Nosaj Thing at Paradise Rock Club, 11.10.09

Although there’s no official description for this show, there honestly doesn’t need to be one. Bassnectar is a very well known DJ from San Francisco who is especially infamous for his highly eclectic and energetic sets that he has played at large-scale festivals such as Burning Man, Lollapalooza, and Shambhala. His new album Cozza Frenzy just hit the streets last week, check out a performance video and some sound clips from the new disc below.





Similar to Bassnectar, Nosaj Thing is also a solo producer from California. Flirting with everything from jazz to downtempo, glitch, dubstep, and beyond, Nosaj has also been touring very heavily off of the strength of his debut album Drift.
