Snow Day Questions For Floating Points

Posted on by Justin Carter


Baby, it’s cold outside. But that hasn’t cut off our internet connection yet, and we were very happy to see that we had some answers to interview questions from Mister Saturday Night’s weekend guest, Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points, in our inbox this morning. The young producer and DJ is packing his records and bags for his first ever trip to New York right now.

Keep warm, enjoy the interview, and cross your fingers that the blizzard will clear out in time for a safe and timely entry into our fair city (but still leave enough for a nice white blanket and some sledding). Continue reading “Snow Day Questions For Floating Points”

Traxx Tackles Some Big Questions

Posted on by Justin Carter

Before anything else, let’s just take a moment to say, “WOW.” This past Saturday night was just insane. To paint a little picture, we opened the window behind the DJ booth at 7:45am, and there was a subway worker dancing on the tracks of the JMZ. We hope you enjoyed yourself. And if you didn’t make it down, well, you’ve got another opportunity to come out this Saturday.

Our guest will be Traxx, a Chicago music maker and record player, whose recent LP, Faith, has gotten a good bit of well deserved attention, and whose DJ sets are said to be inspired. We had the opportunity to toss him some questions in the lead-up to the party, which we were very excited to do: He’s a man with a lot to say, as you’ll see below.

We’re looking forward to seeing you this weekend. Grab your advance tickets here, or RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com to get in for $10 before midnight. Now on with the show. Continue reading “Traxx Tackles Some Big Questions”

Talking with Tejada

Posted on by Justin Carter

Two summers ago we hosted John Tejada at Sunday Best. It was rainy, and so we decided that we should set the system up under the shed. As the day moved forward, it got darker and stormier, and as he stepped up to the table for his live set, people were tight under the makeshift tents and carports we’d strung together.

He worked everyone into a frenzy, expertly playing on the mood that hung in the air — dipping into melodies familiar to his fans and keeping the attention to folks who’d never heard him with perfect dynamics. Needless to say, we’ve been itching to have him back in the city for a long time, and so we’re excited to have him here at Mister Saturday Night this weekend.

We caught up with him earlier today, just before he headed into the garage to pick out some vinyl. Here’s how it went. Continue reading “Talking with Tejada”

Catching Up With Ewan Pearson

Posted on by Eamon Harkin

We love Ewan Pearson. There we said it. Why? Well, first of all he’s one of our favorite DJs on the planet, never failing to be totally on point with his sets, whether it’s a small intimate loft jam (like Mister Saturday Night this weekend) or a summer festival in Europe. But he’s also a thoroughly nice bloke, a friend and undoubtedly one of the most intelligent men in dance music, with something insightful and inspiring to say each time we talk to him. So we had to pin him down again to get his thoughts on a couple of topics on our mind ahead of the next installment of Mister Saturday Night… Continue reading “Catching Up With Ewan Pearson”

Mister Saturday Night and The Revenge Get Chatty

Posted on by Justin Carter


Graeme Clark, aka The Revenge, is playing with us this weekend. We wanted to get to know him a little bit, so we had a chat with him this morning. This is how it went down. Continue reading “Mister Saturday Night and The Revenge Get Chatty”
