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”

Mister John Tejada

Posted on by Eamon Harkin

Mister Saturday Night is back at 1142 Myrtle for one last go round in 2009 before the New Year’s party. The wood has been worked in right by the soundsystem over the past few weeks, and everything is running like clockwork. Justin and Eamon are rocking nice, long sets of their favorite sundries, sometimes harder and sometimes softer; the open bar’s keeping things well oiled; and our special guests have been killing it.

Tonight our pal John Tejada is joining us allllll the way from the west coast. Known as a prolific producer, Tejada’s DJ sets are, to say the least, impressive. He masterfully strings together known themes from his own music with others beats and melodies, creating an experience that’s as brain-moving as it is hip-shaking.

1142 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn // $8 in advance from residentadvisor.net/mistersaturdaynight // $10 before midnight with rsvp to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com // $15 otherwise // 10p – late // more info // directions

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 Gets Enthusiastic for Ewan Pearson

Posted on by Eamon Harkin


It’s already December, and we’re back at the homebase for another lofty jam on the 5th. Eamon and Justin will be heat things up with nice, deep house and techno; and maybe we’ll get some special whiskey to warm your belly. Our special guest and good friend, Ewan Pearson, is certain to heat things up as well.

Ewan’s been integral to many facets of the dance music scene since he started making records in 1996. He’s banged out techno via his Soma and Kompakt releases, produced sounds of a more lush varietal in his work with Junior Boys and Everything But The Girl’s Tracey Thorn, and he’s even thrown a little dance rock down the pipe with The Rapture. To boot he’s written a book, and he’s got a Master’s degree in philosophy. And we haven’t even mentioned his work as a DJ yet. In short, excellent. What else would you expect?

December 5th // 1142 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn // $8 in advance, $10 before midnight with RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com, $15 at the door // 10p – late // open beer bar from 10p to 11p // directions

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”
