Institutional
As well as being obsessed with the originators and creators of the music we love, we also find ourselves infatuated with the history and legend of the great places that provided the platform for pivotal times in music's history. The Music Institute is one such place. For a relatively short but vitally important time, the seminal club provided Detroit a space to match the music being created here.

Back Outdoors
After a wonderful return to the loft last weekend, the Mister heads back outdoors this Saturday to our favorite Bushwick Courtyard at Brooklyn Fire Proof.
On this occasion we’ve got a rising star playing a special live set with real analogue gear. Tevo Howard is one of a very few Chicago artists (here’s another) pushing forward with a house sound that is true to the roots of the original sounds which emanated from the Windy City back in the mid-80s. His recent Resident Advisor podcast which you can download here is a beautiful piece of work and highly recommended listening ahead of this week’s jam.
Eamon will be handling resident duties for the night either side of Tevo’s live set whilst Mister Carter enjoys his honeymoon in exotic climes! Great beer and tacos are, of course, on the menu once again, and the weather’s shaping up quite nicely, though should we get a shower there’s a new retractable awning for the entire dance floor. Mister Saturday Night’s got you covered.
See you this weekend.
Fire Proof Hot Shots
On a particularly beautiful night a couple weeks ago, hundreds of friendly faces packed out Brooklyn Fire Proof to get down under the stars with Justin, Eamon and DJ Harvey. With every last taco devoured by 11, there was nothing left to do but lose it on the dance floor.
If you were there, take a peek at these photos from the evening, and see if you can spot yourself. And if you missed it, don’t be jealous–just come this weekend.

A Last Minute Chat
We just got this interview between Jeremy Greenspan of Junior Boys, our guest tomorrow night, and Mister Steve Rogenstein, aka the Art Corp and the man behind 12 Turn 13, into our mail box, just in time to share with you ahead of tomorrow night’s party.
Have a read…
Steve Rogenstein: You’re primarily known for your studio work and live performances, yet the Body Language CD from a couple years ago cast you as a DJ. What was your DJ experience before then?
Jeremy Greenspan: We [Jeremy and Matthew Didemus, his partner in Junior Boys] both started as DJs. Matt and I used to DJ at parties when we were teenagers. We had a radio show, which at first was mainly drum and bass, but fairly quickly turned into garage and house. Then we had a residency at a club in Hamilton [in Ontario, Canada, their hometown] at some point in the late 90s. All that stuff was long long before we had even thought of Junior Boys.
