Contest: Win Tickets to Dark Disco & BEMF
Posted on 03 November 2011
This Saturday, MeanRed is bringing L-Vis 1990 for a special Pre-Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival dance session. This English visionary has been called a “true phenomenon;” with releases on Mad Decent and Sound Pellegrino, L-Vis 1990 started receiving his well deserved recognition for changing the face of underground club music. His incredibly unique style comes from his musical stew of post-modern tribal house and years of garage heritage. The musical stylings of Nick Hook and Dan Wender will also be in effect.
As always, this Dark Disco will be filled to the brim with inspirational surprises throughout the night. The Chinatown location will not be disclosed until the week of the event… think Dim Sum.
To make this even more fantastically mouth-watering, they’re offering a BEMF ticket special: attendees will be given the option of a $10 reduction on their BEMF tickets, for a limited time. This will be SOLD OUT as they have limited capacity on the dance floor between the egg rolls and dumplings. Tickets can be purchased HERE.
But that’s not all! We have a pair of tickets to give out that are good for BOTH Dark Disco AND BEMF, to one luck winner! The winner will be chosen at 12 noon on Saturday, so be sure you enter before then. Fill out the form below to enter.

Contest: Win a Pair of Tickets to Let’s Play House with Tiger & Woods this Saturday
Posted on 22 September 2011
The two NYC party power houses, Let’s Play House and Global frequencies have teamed up for an event for the record books, this time at a secret venue with an over-the-top and tremendous lineup. They’re excited to be bringing Tiger & Woods to the U.S. for the first time ever, performing live! Spinning alongside them will be Pillowtalk, Runaway, Slow Hands and SOHO808.
Their bodies might be stationed in northern and southern Europe, but the collective consciousness of Tiger & Woods is more often found levitating in deep analog space. There’s been quite some hum around this mysterious duo’s output on the Editainment label, and their trademark fusion of boogie, house and compressed funk – while the live Tiger & Woods experience has already touched down at some of Europe’s most discerning disco outposts. Both members have also visited the Red Bull Music Academy planet, and made some intergalactic connections there.
You must RSVP in order to learn the location, which will be released just before the event.
Advance tickets may be purchased HERE
We also have a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky winner, just fill out the form below to enter!

Celebrate 10 Years of Resident Advisor on August 20
Posted on 10 August 2011
To celebrate Resident Advisor’s 10th anniversary, they’ve cooked up something rather epic: a series of ten parties in ten cities around the world, each with a secret headliner.
The ten parties in ten cities thing is pretty easy to understand, so here’s the deal with the secret headliners: each event will feature one carefully selected artist who RA thinks has positively influenced the electronic music landscape over the past decade. Their identities will remain strictly under wraps until they take the stage. Up to that point, each one will be known simply as the X.
For the US stop, they’re taking over Le Poisson Rouge on August 20, the iconic live music venue in Greenwich Village. With the live dynamic firmly in mind, the X has curated a line-up that combines Montreal Jazz Festival stars King Sunshine, a nine-piece ensemble that’s worked with everyone from Robert Owens to DJ Sneak, with master of all things soulful deep house Peven Everett, plus Mala, half of pioneering dubstep duo Digital Mystikz, and Japan’s DJ Masashi Nakazawa. The night will close with a performance by the X, an esteemed headliner whose identity will remain unknown until he or she takes the stage.
The poster for this one is done by Zeke Clough, the man behind Shackleton’s vivid and occasionally disturbing sleeve designs. As usual, this one’s all organs, bones and things getting impaled. Only 75 will be available, all screen-printed and sold only on RA. It’s shipping internationally too for those of you who can’t be there but would still like a piece of the action.
Check out Mala’s XLR8R Podcast from the end of May for a taste of what to expect.
To help celebrate RA’s New York shindig, they’re giving away entry to the party for one person and three of their friends, as well as a $200 bar tab to help sweeten the deal. What’s more, they’ll also kick in one of the limited edition posters.
Grand Prize
One winner will receive:
- Entry to the event for themselves and three friends
- A limited edition screen-print poster by Zeke Clough
- A $200 bar tab
Runners up Prize
Four winners will receive:
- Entry to the event for themselves and three friends

Fixed Weekend Double Header: The Twelves and Simian Mobile Disco
Posted on 02 August 2011
Get ready, because Fixed has a huge weekend in store for us with two awesome back-to-back parties with The Twelves on Friday and Simian Mobile Disco on Saturday. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to each event, enter the contest after the jump.
On Friday, Brazilian duo The Twelves will hit up Good Units, along with Fixed’s JDH. One of the coolest things about The Twelves (other than their music) is their insane ability to remix on the fly. On a side-note, their remix for The Black Kids’ “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You” was featured on the last season of Glee, and (as far as I know) is the only remix that has ever been featured on the show.
BBC Essential Mix: The Twelves
The party continues on Saturday night with Simian Mobile Disco, who will be DJing at Public Assembly with JDH and Dave P. The duo has recently released the music video for their latest single, Gizzard. CLICK HERE to check it out.
Based on past experience, with both The Twelves and Simian Mobile Disco (not to mention the always consistent Fixed residents JDH and Dave P) we forecast an awesome weekend for all. Advance tickets can be purchased HERE for The Twelves and HERE for Simian Mobile Disco. And of course, our friends at Fixed have hooked us up with a pair of tickets to each show to give away to our readers. Fill out the form below to enter the contest — each person can enter the contest twice, once for each event.
