Mark your calendars! Phoenix Landing boat cruise. 7.19.09

Just saw this posted on SoulClap's upcoming event calendar so figured I'd spread the word and give you guys enough time to try to get that following Monday off! I don't think any explanation is necessary here other than the fact that for this party you're on a boat, the beer flows like, well, beer, you get to hear some of Boston's best DJ's throw down on the wheels, and you try not to get seasick or thrown overboard! There isn't an official flyer yet but I'm assuming the midweektechno guys (Pat Fontes, Tanner Ross, Elijah, or Sergio) will be playing as well as Crook and Lenore on drum and bass duty and Randy Deshaies somewhere in the mix too. When the flyer becomes available I'll let everyone know. You can get pre-sale tickets directly through the Phoenix. 

To build the anticipation, here's a few videos I took from last year's cruise.

Cassy @ the Phoenix Landing tonight

Stop down to the Phoenix tonight to check out Cassy Britton, a tech/minimal house dj and producer living in Berlin who has been on the rise over the course of the last 4 or 5 years! She has been revered to have a unique selection and command of the dancefloor...her resume boasts club experience behind the decks all over the world, as well as references from Steve Bug, Ricardo Villalobos, and Richie Hawtin. Not bad! Her tracks are all released on big league labels as well (M_nus, Playhouse, Get Physical, etc). Between her original songs, her remixes, running her label, and DJing, it's obvious she's a woman of many talents- be sure to check her newly designed site here.

Check out some of her songs and remix work below!

Abe Duque/Pat Fontes' bday @ Phoenix Landing, 2.18.09

Classic tech/minimal house producer making an appearance in Boston! I've only been following Duque's work for about a year but he's been in the game for a long time, releasing records and remixes dating back to 1995. He's a fairly prolific remixer as well, twisting up tunes by the likes of the Chemical Brothers, Moby, and Miss Kitten, amongst many others. 

The first time I discovered Abe Duque was when I found the record in the video posted below deep in second hand vinyl bin at Looney Tunes on Boylston St...easily my single best find ever in that store!
