Next Up, Mister Saturday and Mister S

Posted on January 16, 2011 | by Justin Carter | Uncategorized


After a two-floored New Year’s Eve party and a collaboration with Spank, Mister Saturday Night heads back to the basics: one dancefloor, two residents, one guest and a real nice set of speakers. We love a big to-do, but simplicity is golden.

Our guest is none other than Omar S, who, making his third showing at MSN, will become our most frequent musical companion. It’s no wonder why we’ve asked him back as often as we have. In addition to consistently producing tracks that make their way into Justin and Eamon’s sets (note the two appearances on their NYE mix), he’s a phenomenal DJ, a master of dancefloor hypnosis.

This will also be the last time that Eamon and Justin play together in the home loft for a couple months. Justin’s headed off to Berlin for February, March and April (see the note at the bottom), and their only joint gigs for a while will be in Europe. That makes this a going-away party of sorts, and they’ll definitely be pulling out the stops to make it right.

Everything else that usually makes it special will be in effect as well, with a reasonably priced bar run by folks with a sweet demeanor, free beer from 10pm to 11pm, a door staff that’s genteel and a space that feels like home. It’s always good to be here.

Advance tickets are here. Party details are over in ‘Our Next Party’ section on your right.

note. To be clear, Justin’s not pulling an escape from New York/everything’s better in Berlin move… New York beats Berlin every Mister Saturday Night of the year as far as he’s concerned. It’s just a work thing.

Other Nights of the Halloweek

This Saturday, we’ve got a party. But not just any party; it’s Halloween, and we’re dressing things up more than usual at 12-turn-13. While we’re hanging the decorations from the ceilings and filling up the bathtub for apple-bobbing, our minds will be elsewhere – it’s a good week to go out in New York.

For our more cerebral side, there’s an orchestral tribute to Italian-Jewish writer/chemist Primo Levi at Asia Society; and for the side of us that likes to get weirded out, there’s a reading by Oxbow singer, Eugene Robinson, who is insane (see picture above). Thursday, from 5 to 7 at Other Music, a photo exhibition about the Magnetic Fields opens, and Stephin Merritt, the band’s leader, plays the background music.

Fabulous Diamonds, a two-piece drone band with slow-chugging drums and effect-laden analog synths, plays Todd P’s Monster Island Basement on Friday, and on Sunday, the day after our Hallowed affair, the real Halloween takes place, again with Mister P. He’s got a big show happening at the Ridgewood Masonic Temple with Janka Nabay, the Sierra Leonese king of Bubu Music. Finally, Jonathan Richman helps you come down on Monday. Details for everything after the jump. . . . Read On

What You Think

Posted on October 11, 2010 | by Justin Carter | Uncategorized


Did you come to the party on Saturday? We were psyched about how the night went, but there are a few tweaks we’re thinking of making. Before we do that, though, we want to know your opinion. After all, you make the party happen as much as we do.

How was your experience at the bar? Did you love the space? Think we could do something different? The sound, the crowd, the layout: we want your opinion on everything, whether positive, negative or ambivalent. Leave comments below, or if you prefer to give us a shout directly, drop us a line at ask -at- mistersaturdaynight -dot- com. Thanks!

About Eamon Harkin

Posted on September 24, 2009 | by Eamon Harkin | Uncategorized

Eamon arrived in New York by way of the North of Ireland in 2004, and immediately set about creating ‘Calling All Kids’, a party which played homage to New York legend Arthur Russell and all that he loved about the rich history of downtown New York. The party’s success catapulted him into guest spots at Motherf*cker (sharing bills with the likes The Cramps) and into a residency at FUN, at the now-gone Studio B, where he also actively led the bookings and production and brought a variety of talent through the doors – including Berlin’s boisterous Modeselektor, The Egyptian Lover’s old-school electro, and Escort’s new-school disco. These days, of course, he produces Mister Saturday Night and Mister Sunday and DJs the world over with his partner Justin Carter.

As a producer, Eamon has released critically acclaimed edits, remixes and original productions, on his own and with partner Steve Raney (as Harkin and Raney), for Wurst Music Co, Throne of Blood, Subway Series and On the Prowl. His music has been played by DJ Harvey, Optimo, Rub n Tug, Floating Points, Mark E, Tim Sweeney and Levon Vincent; and it’s driven many a party over the brink.
