Institutional
As well as being obsessed with the originators and creators of the music we love, we also find ourselves infatuated with the history and legend of the great places that provided the platform for pivotal times in music's history. The Music Institute is one such place. For a relatively short but vitally important time, the seminal club provided Detroit a space to match the music being created here.

Word To The Wise
'Word to the Wise' is the debut EP from Harkin & Raney on The Rapture and James Friedman's Throne of Blood imprint. Harkin you know, of course, as Mister Saturday Night's very own Eamon Harkin; and Raney is Steve Raney aka Oneauff, his production partner and good pal who hails from North Carolina but is now firmly ensconced in Brooklyn, where the duo have tirelessly been working away on original material and remixes.

Back Outdoors
After a wonderful return to the loft last weekend, the Mister heads back outdoors this Saturday to our favorite Bushwick Courtyard at Brooklyn Fire Proof.
On this occasion we’ve got a rising star playing a special live set with real analogue gear. Tevo Howard is one of a very few Chicago artists (here’s another) pushing forward with a house sound that is true to the roots of the original sounds which emanated from the Windy City back in the mid-80s. His recent Resident Advisor podcast which you can download here is a beautiful piece of work and highly recommended listening ahead of this week’s jam.
Eamon will be handling resident duties for the night either side of Tevo’s live set whilst Mister Carter enjoys his honeymoon in exotic climes! Great beer and tacos are, of course, on the menu once again, and the weather’s shaping up quite nicely, though should we get a shower there’s a new retractable awning for the entire dance floor. Mister Saturday Night’s got you covered.
See you this weekend.
Mister Saturday Night Live
It’s been more than a while since we posted some live recordings from Mister Saturday Night. The good news is we have three solid mixes for you here and now which comprise the bulk of the party from June 12th at Brooklyn Fire Proof, our first get-down in their wonderful courtyard, the place we’re mostly calling home for the summer.
That night, Eamon got things started, and Justin took it home. In between we had a sweet set of deep house from Mister Rick Wade. Give your ears a treat, and have a listen.
