Pick it up at Insound for $14.99 and definitely try to catch their show on Thursday night at Webster Hall. They will also be rocking out on the David Letterman show tomorrow night (Tuesday Oct 3), TIVO it.

Its our monthly get-down. Stay tuned for Nov/Dec lineups...We've got some hotness up our sleeveseses.

(UPDATE: WIN FREE TICKETS HERE!)

Cassettes Won't Listen is essentially a one man band: Jay Drake.

Bigwig at Def Jux by day and beatsmith by night. His original compositions have drawn comparisons to Notwist, Postal Service, and Beck. I'd like to think of him more as a musical futurist; melding all that is awesome from hip-hop, rock, and dance into an amazingly catchy, dancable sexy soup. Jay has famously remixed Morcheeba, The Diggs, Asobi Seksu, & Mr. Lif, as well as crafted an amazing cover of Pavement's Cut Your Hair. He is most certainly pushing the boundaries of modern indie music.

We are excited to open up Pistolwhipped with such a forward thinking, genre bending artist that sums up our musical ethos here at Slap You in Public.

You can catch a CWL show this weekend at Union Hall with the SoftLighties (also playing the Modular Monthly on Friday).

Hop on over the the Cassettes Won't Listen site for a streaming radio player of CWL originals and remixes.

Lily was a little nervous and the set was short, but it sounded great. I'm still not sure that the rest of the country will "get" her. Nan, You're a Window Shopper is still my jam. I'm in search of my Lily Allen. If you've got pipes, send me your demo. We'll make a UK number 1 and retire to Sant Jordi, Ibiza.

(via Miss Modernage)

I was diggin' Aaron Lacrate on my walk out. Looking forward to catching a full set of his B'more scuzzy shit.

TTC is a French hip-hop crew made up of rappers Teki Latex, Tido Berman, et Cuizinier (aka Cuizey-Cuiz), as well as their DJ, DJ Orgasmic. They are the real deal.

I don't speak a lick of French but their flow is unbelievably smooth and sweet god, the production is amazing.

Much of their Bâtards Sensibles album was produced by his holiness Para One and Institubes main man Tacteel. Their crisp, mashed up hip-hop, techno beats are as forward thinking as you can get. The logical musical evolution of a bunch of city kids who grew up on Daft Punk and Biggy Smalls.

Lil' Cuizey just released his street tape Pour Les Filles Volume 2. Its white hot. Pick it up at the show tomorrow night or via Arcade Mode.

disco-not-disco has some hot TTC tracks from the Album as well as a few from openers Beans & Cadence Weapon.

This is Busy P's (Ed Banger's boss, Daft Punk's manager) remix of Dans Le Club.

Sound of the future from the streets of Paris.

TTC - Dans Le Club (Busy P Remix)

(Update: TTC takes the stage around Midnight)

TONIGHT
The Basement Jaxx rock Webster Hall!!!

Check out this wicked Speaker Junk remix. For those of you into Switch's LDN style wobbly, gutter house sound...I am.

I'll post the details in my next post, plan on being there.

THE FUTURE!
CMJ is coming up! The CMJ "Music Marathon" week officially kicks off on Tuesday Oct 31st. To us, lovers of synth, it starts on Monday. Webster Hall really has a stranglehold on the Slap You in Public Picks of CMJ. Here's a few heads-up ticket alerts for the shows at the home of the best Ladies Night in the East Village:

Monday Oct 30
The Rapture & The Presets Buy Tickets

Wednesday Nov 1
The Knife (2 shows) Hunt for Tickets

Thursday Nov 2
Hot Chip & Shy Child Buy Tickets

I also highly recommend buying tickets to THE JAM of the week:
Saturday Nov 4
FIXED's 2 Year Anniversary featuring Digitalism (Live), Justice (DJ Set), & Whitey (Live) at Studio B in Ponte Verde, BK BUY TICKETS

While you are buying: BUY PISTOLWHIPPED TICKETS for next Friday Oct 20th. Fontana's basement is tiny, only way to get into the hottest spot north of Canal is with a ticket!

Speaking of jams: DFA has a sexy little Tim Sweeney mix up on their website. Deep and sexy, spacey beats. Get it here. I'll be playing a lot of the records he has on that mix this Sunday night at the gallery.

(FYI: These are not the only CMJ shows that I recommend, just the ones that require advance tickets. VAN SHE is playing the Modular Monthly during CMJ!)

Good cause + Good Food + Good Tunes + Good People = No Mr. Scary Sunday Night.

CRIMSON

I caught Cassettes Won't Listen's set last night at Union Hall. You guys are in for a treat next Friday. Jay killed it.

Here's the tracklist:

I'm totally digging the band Adam Kesher. They are from France and sound like the rock band that I would be in, if I were in a rock band. To give you an idea of their mindset, they do a live rock cover of Para One's DuDun-Dun. Awesome. Stay tuned for more on these guys.

Adam Kesher - DuDun-Dun (YouSendIt)

Le 28 Octobre at Triptyque

Tomorrow is Pistolwhipped. You've got 1 more day to send in your responses to win 2 free tickets. I'll email the winner tomorrow at Noon.

I just found out that the capacity of Fontana's Basement is a bit more of a squeeze than we originally thought so 1) GET THERE EARLY (doors at 10) if you want to see the bands, 2) BUY TICKETS if you want to get there later. I DJ the bang bang tracks from 2 am til close. Wear comfy shoes and bring your pogo stick.

Here's a deeeeep mix to get you through this rainy New York Friday. Disregard the disastrous mix at the end, a few too many lagers.

David Bruno (Slap You in Public) - October Mix (Feel Free to Repost, Share, disseminate)

Congrats to Brad Corona! He's the proud owner of two spots on the guestlist.

Here's his Hot 5!

HUGE thanks to Mr. Blair, The Glorious Ninth, and Cassettes Won't Listen!

The bands were outta control good! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Stay tuned for the Nov. 17th party update.

Now on to the music! Its Monday and my head hurts so I've been banging Dibaba on repeat.

Dibaba - The Truth Blending Consortium

Dibaba is Olle Cornéer from Stockholm.

He makes sick electro tinged beats. I dropped one of his tracks on Friday and it was total mayhem, I can't imagine anything but greatness for Olle.

FYI lovers of The Knife, this track is pure Swedish fish tastiness with a solid dance groove.

Olle told me he was going to be in NYC this weekend, I can't figure out where he's playing, but I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Buy the download here at Kompakt or Olle can point you in the right direction.

Pop over to Dibabaspace.

If you didn't already know these two creepshows are going down on Halloween night:

Motherfucker w/a band that is really terrible and HOT CHIP at 1:30 am
The Rapture & the Presets play a smaller show at Bowery Ballroom (Tickets are still available for their show on Monday night at Webster Hall)

POW! Pick of the Week: Trentemøller Thursday at Cielo

Outside of M.A.N.D.Y., Trentemøller was probably the biggest new dance artist to break on to the scene in 2005. He's mainly known for his peaktime electrobangin' remixes. However, Anders spreads his wings on his shockingly refreshing new album The Last Resort. Its been out for awhile now on Steve Bug's Poker Flat label. I apolgize for sitting on this one but I wanted to hold out until he came to town.

This album is at the top of my list. I really can't recommend it enough. It is a very forward thinking electronic album. Lyrically, there are few missteps, but the music is really diverse and the production is top notch. Buy the album from Other Music or Itunes. You won't be disappointed.

If you were around for the end of the night on Friday, I dropped this superbanger:

Moby - Go (Trentemøller Remix)

Buy tickets for Thursday over at the We are Robots site (the actual Robots, not MFR) for $10, they are strangely $18 at the door.

See you on the dancefloor.

Love Is All

If you like Go!Team, you'll love Love is All.

I guess you could call it: Party rockin' post-dance punk. I prefer: really fun music. I missed their last visit to NYC at the Knitting Factory and have been kicking myself ever since.

Love is All - Talk Talk Talk Talk

You've got 3 chances to catch the girl and boys tonight and tomorrow.

Tonight

Those nutters behind the Wowch tee and hoodies line are continuing their Wowchoween party in Williamsburg. It's technically a secret, but everyone knows that Love is All will be the guest band. Party starts at 5, band at 8.

WOWCH-O-WEEN
THE ARM GALLERY
281 N. 7th st (near HAVEMEYER)
Brooklyn, NY 1121

(yes, that is Druzzi)

Friday

Love Is All plays two shows at the Knitting Factory. MAYHEM!
Early Show at 7 pm (Tix)
Late Show at 11 pm (Tix)

Review starts now:

I have a man-crush on James Murphy. I think everyone that knows me knows that. I don't go far without my DFA tee shirt. My record bag is chock full of DFA tracks. I tried to spray paint the DFA lightning bolt on my Adicolor Hightops (to no avail) and I have lightning bolt medallions for my gold crunk chains.

I love LCD Soundsystem.

Its not blind love, so when I heard about Jimbo teaming up with Nike I was somewhat skeptical.

You see, Nike's got this series of sponsored "sport music." The idea being that you can rock the tracks while you workout, I suppose. LCD Soundsystem was commissioned to be the 2nd contributor in the illustrious series of 2. The first honor was bestowed upon those guys with their collective fingers on the pulse of electronic music circa 1997: The Crystal Method.

Now, we all know that LCD is not adverse to corporate sponsorship, reference the Playstation 2 Tour of 2005. Furthermore, James and the band are evidently avid runners while on tour. A+B = 45:33. The marriage was inevitable. Please rise for a reading from the holy gospel, "In testing (sic, no shit), I found that 'hard, fast, propulsive' music was NOT the best running music for me," quoth Lord Murphy.

I don't run, but when I used to go to Crunch, they mandated workout/running music as Tiesto remixes of Kylie Minogue...on repeat. beats on repeat. I digress...

LCD Soundsystem - 45:33: Nike+ Original Run is far from what you would consider "normal workout music:" its more of series of movements in some futuristic space disco opera. From the opening piano riff, through the stomping disco horn solo, back to the twinkling electronic warm-down, it is a full low-high-low ride on the disco big rig. This ride is definitely best enjoyed with headphones on, either running for your life like a hamster on a wheel, or sitting on your ass in your cube while making Excel your bitch.

BUY IT NOW. Well worth it.

In this digital day and age, paying the bills is paying the bills. Luckily, Nike has the forethought to allow artists to be artists.

The rumor is that DFA gets the rights back in a few months and we can look forward to a 2007 full of Booka Shade & M.A.N.D.Y. remixes of the cuts off of 45:33 (thanks to Nike: Patron Saint of Space Disco).

While you are ITunes'ing, subscribe to the Cassius videopodcast. Its pretty hilarious.

Booka Shade - Darko (Hot Chip's The Dream of Karaoke Mix)

Exactly the kind of thing to listen to on a rainy Saturday...

Should have some big news re: CMJ for you shortly...

CRYSTAL CASTLES
Noise, mayhem, knives, and disemboweled Commodore computers.

Accidental bandmates, (Ethin: noise and Alice: vocals) Crystal Castles owes more to Nintendo than than do to Apple for their very, very chaotic tracks. Hailing from Toronto, they make musical breakcore, as impossible as that seems.

They've already lined up some clutch remixes for the Klaxons and the former DFA 1979. I'm not sure if they'll be playing live or DJing come Halloween night, but they will scare the shit of you one way or another.

That being said, I need some nasty graphic designer to redesign the Slap You in Public logo and/or site layout via Movable Type. Compensation and publicity can all be arranged. If you or someone you know is a nasty graphic designer, hit me up with your details and let me know your thoughts.

If you are reading over at BV, he's putting together some nasty unofficial parties that feature some of the best of the newest coming to town next week.

Those of us working for the MAN will probably only get to hit the Saturday party. It starts at Noon, so skip Prune and come have Vegan brownies.

LOOK AT THIS LINEUP!

* Silversun Pickups
* The Big Sleep
* Tokyo Police Club
* Elvis Perkins
* Annuals
* White Whale
* Takka Takka

It will be hosted by Sara Schaefer, who incidentally, is hilarious. Check out her show on AOL.

Saturday Nov 4
at The Annex (152 Orchard b/t Stanton & Rivington)
Noon - 5 PM
Stay tuned for RSVP info!

You might have heard their track "Crossover Appeal" on my last podcast INACTION:ACTION Vol. 7. They absolutely destroy it. In the vein of Justice, Para One, Ascii.Disko, et. al: this is hard dance music.

Slap You in Public Lesson Number 1: If you make disgusting beats, you get signed to Kitsune.

Check them out, I would say their rock background mellows out their sound a little compared to Justice; they a bit more melodic.

Guns'n'Bombs are bringing the sleeze to town on Friday and Saturday. I'm really not sure why they aren't at the Fixed blowout, but catch them on Friday while your friends are all in Philly.

Friday November 3

The Bang Gang are a motley crew from Sydney, Australia. Jamie Doom, Ajax, DJ Damage, Gus Da Hoodrat, Dangerous Dan, and Double Nolan are living the dream circa 1988 Madchester. Nothing is serious about these guys except their music. Spend some time on their elaborate site to get the drift.

Largely (self) credited with accelerating the popularity of the electro scene in Sydney and presenting the world with the next wave of Australian bands. They've been host to the Bang Gang rave on Friday nights for the most beautiful people in Sydney. They've championed/remixed Van She, the Presets, The Valentinos, Riot in Belgium, the Presets, New Young Pony Club, and F'ing Daft Punk.

They are planning to self-release their musical output via the Bang Gang 12" label. Pronounced "Bang Gang 12 inches," these guys are completely phallus obsessed. I can't imagine its been cleared, but the first release will be Nicky VanShe Vs Dangerous Dan's remix of Around the World. (Listen to Pharrell's Miam Les Fruit radio show with Van She for that remix, its hot.)

Bang Gang have also launched a fantastic Podcast. Check it out here.

There is no way that the true spectacle of the Bang Gang will be recreated on Thursday, but DJ Ajax is going to give it a honest cumshot.

Hustle out to Williamsburg after Hot Chip to catch Ajax and Van She at the wicked Modular Monthly!
