The Secret Place




A little over a year ago, we took Mister Saturday Night to Market Hotel, our home for the bulk of last fall, winter and spring. Next Saturday we’re introducing a space that we hope will become our new home, a place that’s got all the charm of Market Hotel with nicer (and more plentiful) bathrooms. There’s hardwood flooring, an outdoor terrace, a bunch of big windows and an address around the corner from an easily accessible train station.

For our inaugural Mister Saturday Night there, Eamon and Justin will share time with Keith Worthy, a man whose Aesthetic Audio imprint has released ten very deep records over the past three years. It should also be noted that he’s from Detroit.

As for party logistics, we’re returning to our old trick of offering up beers on the house for the first hour of the party, but if you can’t get there early, don’t worry. We won’t break the bank. To find out the location of our new space, sign up for our email list in the upper-right corner of the blog, and you’ll get the venue details next Friday.

Optimo at The Best


It was one of many highlights of the summer – the occasion where Optimo and Mister Saturday Night rubbed shoulders at our sister party Sunday Best. We stumbled across some great footage from the day, so we just had to share it with you.

Efdemin On The Way To Chicago and a Giveaway

This weekend we get back into the swing of things after our trip to London, hosting a Mister Saturday Night Loft Party in a secret space in Brooklyn.

Our special guest is a Berliner named Phillip Sollmann, who releases records on the Dial imprint under the name Efdemin. His most recent album is called Chicago, and it just so happens that he sent us the answers to the questions below in the Berlin airport, waiting to board a plane to the Windy City for the very first time.

Before we get to that, though, it’s time for a freebie. We’re giving away a pair of tickets for this weekend’s MSN Loft Party! All you have to do to get them is drop a line with the subject ‘Loft Party Giveaway’ to ask -at- mistersaturdaynight -dot- com. You’ll be signed up for our email list and entered into the drawing. We’ll randomly choose someone tomorrow morning, so you’ve got time to hip your friends to it – just make sure they bring you if they win.

Now on with the interview.

Mister Saturday Night: Based on some mixes we’ve heard, and from other interviews we’ve read with you, it’s clear that you are interested in music that spans much farther than house and techno. You even have a history with the cello and have worked in live bands where you’re singing, but what you are known for is dance music. It’s a predicament that a lot of creative people find themselves in: their interests and outputs are vast, but they’re known for one subset of those things. How do you feel about how you’re defined? How does it affect what you do? Continue reading “Efdemin On The Way To Chicago and a Giveaway”

London Bound

We’re off to London this week, and we couldn’t be more excited! First up the boys at Horse Meat Disco have asked to come play their legendary Sunday Night party at the The Eagle in Vauxhall on September 12th. And then on Friday the 17th we’re playing a nice 3 hour set at the intimate but notoriously raucous Horse and Groom in Shoreditch. If you’re in London we hope to see you out!

The Forbidden City

This Saturday, our friends Winkel and Balktick, skilled choreographers of the spectacular, have secured 47,000 square feet of one-hundred-year-old train repair warehouse for a giant party. They’re calling the place ‘The Forbidden City’.

Winkel and Balktick have asked Justin and Eamon to bring the Mister Saturday Night juice right at the peak of the evening, and there’s a host of other DJs, live performers and art installations. The location’s a secret, but they’re giving a few hints before they tell all to folks that have RSVPed by tomorrow evening.
