PDDNM+ghostly.jpgWe are super pysched to be joining the crew putting on a series of new monthly events happening every Wednesday downstairs at the Annex.  Denny (of the illustrious Ruff Club) has a killer Yorkville soundsystem that we'll be installing each week so expect amazing sound, cheap (and free) booze, and lots of dancing in the dark!

People Don't Dance No More will be hosting every 2nd Wednesday and we are launching it off with a very special night with our friends at Ghostly IntlMichna, boss man SV4, and a few other secret Ghostly guests will be joining Blair and I behind the decks.  The Ghostly crew will be pushing off soon after for Sonar (but not before their 10 Year Bash at Studio B) so you know it's gonna be a wild night.

Make sure to RSVP for free entry PDDNMNYC@gmail.com!

The Wurst Beats in Space Mix Ever

TheWurstLogo.gifMy Cousin Roy and Brennan Green pulled out the stops for a full Wurst night on Beats in Space Tuesday. 

Brennan gets nice and weird while Roy features a bunch of upcoming Wurst releases.  If you haven't had a chance to listen yet, I highly recommend it.  Brennan and Roy will be joining us for a freakout on a boat in July.

The Wurst Has Yet to Come...stay tuned.

Two parties that I'm super pysched about but have neglected to post about are coming up this weekend.

The first is the NYC debut of Zombie Zombie at the Oscillations Party at Studio B on Thursday night.  Come out early for our Sunset Disco BBQ on the roof and stay all night for the party!

Check out their amazing video:


Also rocking it live will be Circlesquare, Ghostly's Michna (who we'll be hosting at our debut Wednesday Monthly at the Annex on June 10th), and hometown heroes Apache BeatCousin Cole and Pocketknife will be kicking it in the booth all night.  

More on the techno tip, BLK | MKT membership will be hosting a huge huge party on Friday night at a secret Brooklyn locale.  I'm most excited to see the US debut of Innvervisions Live (Ame, Dixon, and Henrik Schwarz!)
