Another great weekend in NY

starting Tonight:



Teki's one of the many men of the French rap group TTC. He's been doing dj sets and singing over them lately, which is how I think it's going down tonight. It's also the Paris Texas release party which is a new track featuring 33Hz, Teki Latex, and Devin the Dude. I listened to it a lot this morning...and I really don't like it. It's just doing nothing for me. You can hear the original version on 33Hz myspace, and Palms Out has some remixes which I haven't listened to yet, as well as an interview with Teki. Also, the young, but banging Surkin should be killing it. 33Hz is performing live too.

And, if you're not into any of that, or if it somehow ends up sucking, tonight's also the Dirtybird monthly at APT with Claude VonStroke and Tanner Ross. Claude is excellent and APT's basement gets packed when he comes to town. Expect it to be loud and sweaty. He did an Essential Mix for BBC earlier this month that's quite good.


Friday night in BK, Cut and Trouble & Bass throw down yet again:



If the first one is any indication, Masters of the Universe II should be awesome. Dana and I have been talking about how excited we are about it pretty much every day this week. I actually don't know much of Diplo's stuff and none of the South Rakkas Crew or Drums of Death. I'm just going for Surkin and the Trouble&Bass dj's and hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the rest.

The Cut and Trouble&Bass crews have a bunch of mixes floating around the internets right now that the Captain has conveniently put into a blog post. There's some stuff by the other acts dj-ing friday there too.

If you're looking for something to do earlier Friday night, definitely check these guys out:



Check this post to get a better idea of what they're like.

Saturday I am going to see Ween with my bro! and if I didn't see an inherent problem with drunk hipsters and rollerskating I would probably head here afterwards to catch the excellent Jacques Renault :
