Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

It sure does. And when this edition of Mister Saturday Night goes down, we’ll have been without you for a month. Things won’t have changed too much, though. Of course Eamon and Justin will have some new records, and we’ll probably have some new lights to dazzle; but the vibe will be just the same–easy-going, no-nonsense fun from midnight until early in the morning, and lots of friendly faces to greet you from the door to the bar.

Eamon and Justin have been bringing it more than ever at the recent Mister Saturdays, dropping everything from sunshine disco to Nervous Acid; and our guest, Kristian from Ame, is no stranger to a blissed out dancefloor himself. The Innervisions boss is at the pinnacle of the good old fashioned house revival that’s turned minimal techno on its head in Germany and the rest of Europe.

It’s always a good night with the Mister, and even though we’ve had to switch venues, this one will be no exception. We can’t wait to see you. The spot for this party is smaller than Market Hotel so please come early to guarantee entry.

Better Late Than Never

We asked Greg Wilson a few questions ahead of joining us behind the plates at the party last Saturday. Unfortunately his answers disappeared into the mysterious ether that is the Internet until just this morning.

Strange… but anyway, it was another fantastic night; and here, better late than never, is some interesting insight. Continue reading “Better Late Than Never”

The Real Deal

Greg Wilson is the real deal. He has a pedigree stretching back to the original disco era, coming to national prominence in the early 1980s as the first to champion New York’s emerging Electro-Funk sound and the first DJ to mix records on national TV (in 1983!). He was the first dance music DJ to become resident at Manchester’s legendary Hacienda, then very much an indie and ‘alternative’ music venue.

Fast forward to today and Greg is very much in full force, touring the world armed with laptop, turntables and, of course, his trusty Revox B77 reel-to-reel. No doubt he’ll be have his customized re-edits in tow as he joins Justin & Eamon for what is sure to be another corking Mister Saturday Night at our home on Myrtle and Broadway.

Now For Something a Little Different… Matias Aguayo

After a brief sojourn to Clinton Hill, the Mister returns to 1142 Myrtle Ave in Bushwick for March, and joining Eamon & Justin is a guest who brings the perfect musical accompaniment to the end of winter.

Matias Aguayo plays intense and sensual DJ sets which integrate singing and live instrumentation, crossing dark disco gems with futuristic visions of underground house, latin rhythms and nocturnal, groove-driven techno. Last year he released the wildly acclaimed and enjoyed full length Ay, Ay, Ay on Kompakt. His sound is equally at home on Soul Jazz Records, and as a relentless pioneer he is no stranger to the art of throwing parties, continuing to find time to organize his free BumBumBox outdoor parties in Buenos Aires and elsewhere in South America.

We think this edition of Mister Saturday Night is going to be a little different…
