After several EPs with Harkin & Raney and a handful of edits released on wax via Wurst and Subway Series, Eamon’s first solo full production EP hits the shops this week on Throne of Blood. Roman Flugel and Brendon Moeller offer up remixes to the two original tracks – “Rigor Music” & “Electric Light”. You can have a listen below.
After a couple parties abroad, The Mister returns to Brooklyn with Justin and Eamon joined by Four Tet at 12-turn-13.
To keep things comfortable, we’ve decided to make this party a ticket-only event. All tickets are now sold out. If you weren’t able to get one in time, periodically check the Facebook or Resident Advisor pages for ticket holders who can’t attend.
We’re looking forward to spending an intimate evening with you. It’ll be good to be back home.
Mister Saturday Night
with residents Justin Carter & Eamon Harkin
and very special guest Four Tet
at 12-turn-13 / 172 Classon Ave between Park and Myrtle, Brooklyn / Saturday, February 11th / 10p-6a / this is a ticket-only party / tickets are now sold out / map to venue / 21+*
*Although we absolutely love to play host to our underage friends, the operators of the space make the rules. When we can, we do it all-ages, but for 12-turn-13, we’ve gotta keep it twenty-one and over.
This past Saturday we met Jameson (“like the whiskey”) and Christian (the guy on the right) over at 12-turn-13. While Justin, Eamon and Danilo were taking turns dropping bombs, we caught these guys outside taking a break from the action.
MSN: Is this your first time at a MSN party?
Christian: The fourth time. Last time was here, the other times before that was one of these alleys in Brooklyn, and somebody took me there. I don’t remember where.
MSN: Anything particularly interesting happen at these past parties?
Christian: The music got me pretty high!
MSN: Where are you from originally?
Christian: I was born in NY, Manhattan; but I grew up in Argentina.
MSN: What are you’re interests, jobs, etc?
Christian: I surf, and fragrance.
MSN: How do you mean fragrance?
Christian: I study perfume! It’s not that common.
MSN: Wow, how interesting! So you learn the chemistry of creating perfume?
Christian: I’m not a chemist, but yeah, there is some chemistry involved.
MSN: And what about you, Jameson? What’s up?
Jameson: This is my first time here. I’m a student, I live in NY, but I’m from Houston, Texas.
MSN: Oh, nice! Never been there.
Jameson: Get your ass down there, you’re welcome. Eat some Mexican food, have a good time.
MSN: You know what’s funny? There’s a Houston Street in Manhattan…
Jameson: …and everybody calls it “Houston Street” [as in the pronunciation of Houston, Texas].
MSN: Well, that’s the debate!
Jameson: Well, here’s the thing. When I get lost in the LES – and I’ve been here for 4 years, so I got it down pat – I just pull up next to a cab and say [in a thick Southern accent] “Hey, do you know which way down Houston street I can get to Katz Deli?” It’s the only time that accent is acceptable.
MSN: So what do you do, do you like music?
Jameson: Yeah, I study the Internet, pretty much. I like music. I heard about this place through the Internet, word of mouth, and I wanted to come down here and see what’s up. I’m havin’ a good time dude, sweet party!
MSN: Did you come with anybody?
Jameson: Nope, just here for the music.
MSN: Well, that’s awesome.
The rules of the house.
1. First and foremost, enjoy yourself.
2. There’s no room for unsolicited advances; racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic comments; touching you didn’t ask for; verbal or physical violence; and anything else of that ilk at our parties. If someone’s making you feel uncomfortable in any way, please let a staff member know. Sound staff, bar staff, security, DJs: we’re all on the same team and want to make sure there’s no funny business.
3. Please don’t use cameras and phones on the dance floor, and leave handbags at home or in coat check (our coat check is always reasonably priced). We ask you not to use cameras and phones because we want the dance floor to be a place where everyone can be in the moment. If you’re tweeting, texting or taking a picture of your friends, you’re not only out of the moment, you’re also probably making it hard for someone else to be in the moment.
4. If you’re on the dance floor, dance! There are plenty of places at our parties where you can stand and socialize off the dance floor.
5. Please don’t bring your own drinks into the party. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced anyway.
6. At the door, keep in mind that the cover is really the cover. Everyone likes a deal, but throwing parties has its costs, and we need your help to make it happen. If you’re supposed to be on the guestlist or will call but you’re not, don’t give the nice folks working at the door a hard time. They’ve heard a lot of stories, and though yours might be true, the only thing they have to go on is what’s in front of them. If there’s ever an issue, just pay to get in, and email us after the fact, and we can sort it out.
7. Be nice to everyone. Obviously. Tip well. Say excuse me if you bump into someone.
8. Please smoke off of the dance floor (or outdoors when we’re doing a party inside).
9. Our DJ booth sits right next to the dance floor. If you lean on it, run into it, or bump it, records will start skipping. Please be careful of it.
10. When DJs are in the booth, it may not always look like it, but they’re working. Even if they’re not actively mixing, they’re surveying the dance floor, thinking about what to play next, and trying to make sure that the music stays just right. It’s okay to ask them what song they’re playing, but beyond that, please save conversations for when they’re out of the booth.
11. The DJs at the Mister have a particular musical vision. Please don’t make requests.
12. Finally, we realize that, as you’re cool enough to take the time to read through our list of rules, you’re likely on the same page as us already. We’re an open door kind of party, though, and sometimes there are new people who aren’t bad folks but don’t yet understand what the Mister is all about. If you feel like someone doesn’t know the scoop, it’s okay to tell them – in a nice way, of course. This party is yours, and if you can help bring newcomers into the fold of what we’re doing, it’ll make things even better than they already are. If you’re not comfortable talking to someone directly, that’s cool, too. Just tell a security guard, or, again, any staff member, and they can steer people in the right direction.
Thanks for reading. We’re glad you’re with us. We hope you enjoy yourself.
2012 is coming fast and furious, with time for just one Mister at home in the month of January. In the coming weeks, Eamon and Justin are making their way to Chicago, London, Glasgow, Berlin and Stuttgart to spread the Mister’s good news.
If you’re stumped on that last city in the list, you’re probably not alone. Stuttgart may not be the best known city in Germany, but it is the epicenter of German auto engineering, hence the name of our guest on January 21.
Motor City Drum Ensemble is the alias of Danilo Plessow, a young Stuttgart-born artist who, with some incredibly mature and inventive music, has been freaking people out since 2007. He played a great set for us on the Gowanus three summers ago, and he hasn’t visited the States again since. Needless to say, we’re excited to have him back after all this time.
The rest of the story is just the way you like it: Music surging through our big, blue soundsystem at 12-turn-13; plenty of room to dance, chat, sing, and work up a sweat on the wood dancefloor; and a beautiful, scenic, rooftop patio for taking a breather. If you RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com, you’ll get in for $15 if you show up before midnight, and if you get there before eleven, beer’s on us.
