Trouble & Bass’ 5 Year Celebration Shakes Webster Hall


Last Friday, Trouble & Bass celebrated their 5 year anniversary at Webster Hall with an insane party in the true style we’ve come to expect from the gang. Drop the Lime performed with his entire live band, putting on an extraordinary show to accompany his “raveabilly” sound. Plastician proceeded to drop some heavy bass, shaking the very foundations of Webster Hall with his gritty dubstep. And let’s not forget the rest of the Trouble & Bass crew, namely AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain, who each stepped behind the decks to drop some celebratory beats.

We’re looking forward to yet another year of Trouble & Bass glory, and can’t wait to see what they’ve got up their sleeves next. In the meantime…

Trouble & Bass to Celebrate Five Year Anniversary this September


When you hit the five-year mark, you either have to go big or go home. Trouble & Bass has opted to go big – make that massive – for their five-year anniversary party, which will be held on Friday, September 16 at Webster Hall. The night will feature all four members of the Trouble and Bass Crew – Drop the Lime, AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain, a live set from Drop the Lime, and a special guest that will be revealed closer to the date of the show.

We’re especially excited for this event, not just because we’re celebrating a milestone anniversary, but also because we haven’t seen the whole T&B crew together on stage since last Halloween. Waaaay too long, if you ask us.

To commemorate the occasion, the T&B crew went out and got a set of matching tattoos — check out the video by Matt Canada after the jump.

Advance tickets are $15 and available HERE. Be sure to check in with us in September for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the event.

Photo Gallery: Friday Double Header with The Twelves and Miike Snow


After a ten-week absence, I celebrated my return to NYC with a killer double header. The night started at Good Units with Fixed’s JDH and The Twelves, then the party continued at Webster Hall, where Girls & Boys was in full swing with a DJ set by Karlsson & Winnberg of Miike Snow.

Mr. Oizo Alights at Friday Girls and Boys Fête


With a royal trumpet fanfare, Mr. Oizo announced his arrival on the decks of Webster Hall’s main stage like the elder statesman he has become (or at least should be for those who know him for more than some Levi’s commercials in the ‘90’s).  Le monsieur laid down a heavy French House set that pulled from his 2008 Ed Banger debut “Lambs Anger”, and included both new and old tracks from his label-mates and some standard bangers.  The beats had a diverse crowd stomping so hard you could feel the floor give.  Oizo’s propulsive electro throb was relentless—his set meticulous.  He arrived minutes before he went on—hurried through the mob at the door by a crowd of promoters—and stepped back promptly at 2am to give way to the sensual funk stylings of Chromeo, who arrived fresh from a live gig at Terminal 5 with minutes to spare.

Gaslamp Killer, Nero And The Whole Flashing Lights Crew Take Over Girls & Boys At Webster Hall


This Friday, July 30th, Webster Hall will be sculpted into bass heaven with Nero and Gaslamp Killer, while our favorite NYC trio, Ayres, Catchdubs and Jubilee, bring their flashing lights rave goodness to the stage. This is one not to be missed, period.

Last time we caught the mother fucking Gaslamp Killer, he delivered an epic sermon of cosmic bass that melted our brains in Brooklyn. Vaulting hip-hop into another dimension, GLK’s eccentrically dizzy dj sets wrap riddims around your soul while his hair keeps up the tempo. Have a listen to this mixtape from last year which Flying Lotus tells us is his first glimpse into the mind of GLK.

The Gaslamp Killer – Brainfeeder Podcast [Download]

Nero brings their internally bruising drum & bass and dubstep riddims straight across the pond to damage your ear drums. Remixing eveyrone from The Streets to Beyonce, these boys are poised to bring out the bassface in everyone. Check out one of the their hugest anthems from this year…

Nero – Innocence

The Flashing Lights crew needs no introduction. Let their latest mix do all the talking…

Photo Gallery: Girls & Boys with JFK of MSTRKRFT, 12th Planet and St. Mandrew (June 4, 2010)


This past Friday’s installment of GBH’s Girls & Boys party at Webster Hall featured JFK of MSTRKRFT, 12th Planet and St. Mandrew, along with Girls & Boys residents Alex English and Rekles. These jockeys came well prepared, playing to a packed house and owning the tracks they spun. Having covered many shows at Webster Hall, a venue with a rich history that has catered to artists like Bjork, Mick Jagger, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte and even Elvis Presley, I always imagine moments of fervor in accordance to our electronic preferences and performances due to periodic tastes in terms of music, and JFK of MSTRKFT captured this essence.

When I think of MSTRKFT, I think of the Ontario duo who curated a platform that blends electro house, dance pop, electro punk and even rap with hard beats. In light of the famed and historical hallmark, Jesse F. Keeler  (aka JFK) delivered behind the decks, with highlights that included crowd control as he weaved in and out of mixes like a maze. On guard behind the decks, his fingers never left the knobs. As if he were curing a constant itch, he caressed the decks with the right touch, and every seamless beat and transition that followed erupted out of the speakers like an explosion with rhythm. A madman behind the table, he was the cleric in charge of an audience that wanted to move and dance, and surely, there wasn’t a still body in the crowd. He played a heavy French house set, but added infusions among the mix that included MSTRKFT’s mixes of “Heartbreaker” featuring John Legend and “Bounce” featuring N.O.R.E.. Overall, the high-energy set involved tracks that heightened the dramatic sense of the space – to the glee of the audience. The result was a well cultivated set and session that served as a contemporary representation of the historical venue, and we were glad to catch this one.
