This weekend is getting an early start when Dim Mak celebrates the release of Fischerspooner’s new single, “Supply & Demand”. With an open bar from 11-12 and $5 advanced tickets for the first 100 people to request an access code, there’s no excuse to miss the third installment of Dim Mak’s monthly NYC party “Cloak & Dagger“, especially when you throw in the musical stylings of Fischerspooner, Junior Sanchez, Ninjasonik and Hot Pink Delorean.

For a no-cover option on Thursday night, your best bet is to head over to “Ether” at Happy Endings where The Captain (of the Trouble & Bass Crew) will be playing a special doo-wop DJ set. We’re not exactly sure what that means, but it sounds intriguing.

If you haven’t already heard, Bassnectar is taking over Irving Plaza on Friday night, and we have the hook up on a pair of tickets and a copy of his eighth album, Cozza Frenzy. Click here to enter to win, or if you missed out, get advance tickets here. We caught Bassnectar at Street Scene in San Diego, and trust us, you do not want to miss this.

If you’re in more of a hip-hop mood, Girls & Boys is bringing The Cool Kids to Webster Hall for a special live performance. XXXChange of Spank Rock and David Berrie will also be spinning. Be sure to RSVP for $1 admission and $1 drinks before midnight.

And finally, after 5 years of radness, one party wasn’t enough of a celebration for Fixed, so on Saturday, they’re doing it all again. With a special live performance by british electronic quartet 2020 Soundsystem, JDH and Dave P are showing us just how far they can push the party.

Whew. Better get some rest… Fliers after the jump.

Dim Mak recently released “I’m In The House”, a new video from Steve Aoki featuring Zuper Blahq (yes, we know, who???). The house behind MSTRKRFT, the Bloody Beetroots, Dim Mak seems to have acquired a new member to the family. The video and single with Zuper Blahq is Steve Aoki’s first foray into production.

Under the guise of a mask, the mysterious Zuper Blahq fits the lyrical profile of someone very familiar. We have it on good authority that Zuper Blahq is comprised of Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am and the Peas’ DJ/Producer Poet Name Life. Will began exploring electronic music on his 2007 solo album, Songs About Girls; given the electro stylings of BEP’s latest album, The E.N.D., Will and Poet’s Zuper Blahq doesn’t come as a huge surprise.

Also, check out photos from our last encounter with Steve at Webster Hall by Oliver Correa and Kenroy George.
