Weekend Madness: Modeselektor, Basement Jaxx and More…


We hope you’ve recovered from Halloween, because this weekend is brimming with parties you don’t want to miss…

On Friday, the Guggenheim Museum is hosting their monthly Art After Dark party, which pairs the musical stylings of Holy Ghost! with the art of Kandinsky. The party only goes from 9 PM-1 AM, so with proper planning and motivation, you can continue your night at Webster Hall, where Girls & Boys is jumping off with Jazzy Jeff and Viking . We last saw Jazzy Jeff at the Bacardi B-Live party at M2 in June, where he hit the spot with an eclectic set that included well-chosen hip-hop favorites.

If you’re more into the house scene, Sasha is heading up the bill at Blk|Market Membership’s epic 14-hour party. The Brooklyn location is kept under wraps, but you can get in on the action if you RSVP.

Saturday brings about a tougher decision, with two heavy hitting european duos going head to head. Read more about Modeselektor, Basement Jaxx, and your other Saturday night options after the jump…

Mick Brings the Boogie to the Beat


IMG_012

Last Tuesday Mick Boogie rocked the (Green)house for the LP Release Party of Re-Living Thing, his remix project with Peter Bjorn & John. Several artists that contributed to the album came by to show their support and celebrate the project. Bjorn Yttling, 6th Sense, Outasight, 88 Keys, The Kid Daytona, Double-O from Kidz in the Hall, and Vito from nVMe were just some of the artists and producers that were in attendance.

Mick Boogie, joined by Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, took over the decks at around 1 AM. Bjorn’s electro set was not only refreshing, but also innovative – he used a “Pacemaker” in lieu of a mixer. Mick Boogie’s set started off strong, with a live performance of “4 Out of 5” by 88 Keys, Outasight, and 6th Sense, who also remixed the track. Mick Boogie spun a healthy amount of hip-hop, and threw in several tracks from Re-Living Thing, including “Stay This Way” and “Lay it Down”. At around 3 AM, The Kid Daytona hopped on the mic for an impromptu performance of “I’m Losing My Mind”.

Special thanks to Ciroc Vodka for fueling the revelry. Be sure to check out Oliver Correa’s photos from the night, and if you haven’t already, click here to download Re-Living Thing.
