Pretty Pictures
French illustrator and photographer Lucie Clement has done a series of drawings about New York. We’re happy to see we made a nice impression on her. The whole group is very cool. You can check them here.
note. We talked to Lucie, and she told us that this drawing was specifically made after she came to the party over the summer that we did in the rain with Chez Damier.

Constructive Criticism
Soon to be inducing me into unstoppable head nodding and trips to the dancefloor from the DJ booth: ‘Criticize’, Maxxi Soundsystem’s masterful rework of this Alexander O’Neal song.
Freeki Egyptian Lover
This is a flyer from about two years ago, when we were still doing Mister Saturday Night at Santos. Why do we post it now, you may ask?
On that particular night, The Egyptian Lover, who I’d hipped to KDJ’s epic, then unreleased song ‘Freeki MF’, in this pre-party interview, came downstairs during Moodymann’s set and asked him if he’d brought it with him. Turns out Kenny had left the record at home.
The rest is history: Egypt plugged in his 808, dropped a beat, and they did an impromptu rendition on the spot. Too dark for video cameras, the moment only lived on in the minds of people who were at the party, but it inspired Moody and Egypt to link up and collaborate. Today, that collaboration is finally seeing the light of day.
Next Up, Mister Saturday and Mister S
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.
