A couple weeks ago, Madteo hipped us to 100records, a Berlin collective of musicians, DJs and visual artists. The video says it all: deep, strange and absolutely impossible to stop watching. If you’re into it, check the podcast on Made Like A Tree.

Brian Eno Jamming In The Studio
We’ve just stumbled upon seven videos of Brian Eno improvising in the studio with Leo Abrahams and Jon Hopkins, who both collaborated on his recent Warp release, Small Craft On A Milk Sea. This is one of them. If you want to see them all, check here.
Other Nights of the Week: Remixed Record Covers and Gonzales
While we’re not giddily holding our breath for this Saturday’s joint party with Spank, here are a couple other things we’ll be doing.
Tonight, BAM opens an exhibition of contemporary artists’ takes on record covers. We don’t know any of the artists’ names, and we don’t know what albums they’ve chosen, but we love BAM, so we’re down. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we’ll get our live music fixes, first with Caveman, a harmonizing lo-fi quintet; then with post bob saxophonist Joe Lovano; and finally with silly, virtuosic pianist Gonzales.
Sunday, in the aftermath of whatever transcendence occurs on Saturday, we’ll go check out Stephane Wrembel at Barbés. Hopefully this time there will be dancing. Monday is a holiday after all. Continue reading “Other Nights of the Week: Remixed Record Covers and Gonzales”
NYE with The Mister: Sold Out
Hey, folks. The New Year’s Eve party is officially sold out. There won’t be any tickets sold at the door, and only ticket-holders will be sent the address.
Fear not, though. We do great parties all year round, and if you didn’t get tickets to this one, we’ll have plenty of good stuff for you to enjoy with us in January, February and beyond.
No matter what you do for the festivities, we hope it’s a great one for you, and we wish you a happy 2011!!!
The Final Details for NYE
The big night is almost upon us! Here’s a recap of what’s happening at this special expanded edition of Mister Saturday Night..
In one room, residents Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin will be joined for a midnight set by Detroit wunderkind Kyle Hall, riding a very special sound system all night long. Local production duo Bad Decision open proceedings up from 9pm.
In the other room is Martyn, a producer recognized as one of the world’s best known dubstep creators but who also plays diverse sets which find the likes of Prince, J Dilla and Washed Out rubbing shoulders with more futuristic sounds. Rounding out the room with Martyn is DJ Qu, a fantastic local jock and the man behind of one of our favorite labels, Strength Music.
We’re also taking extra special care of the production for this one. Both rooms will be fantastically bedecked by Jessica Grindstaff, a set designer whose work has graced stages from Amsterdam to Australia to our hometown Brooklyn Academy of Music (and our Halloween party back in October).
We’ve also got an open champagne bar all night long AND a special hand printed mix CD created especially for the party by Eamon & Justin (limited to the first 200 folks through the door). There’s going to be plenty of room to dance, relax and chat with friends in both rooms as well as an outdoor patio where you can get a breath of fresh air. There will also be plenty of bathrooms and bar staff to keep things flowing nicely through the night.
Remember that this is a ticket-only affair. Tickets are selling quickly so get yours now over here to avoid disappointment. We will not be selling tickets on the door! Tickets are all sold out.
Ticket-holders will be emailed the address details on the evening of Dec 30th and also right after sales close at noon on the 31st. Rest assured that the venue is at a convenient location, close to train stops accessible in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
And that just about covers it. We’ll see you on New Years Eve.
