Dance Dance Revolution
It's a week to go until the hotly anticipated Blogger vs Baile Funk all star shoot-out.
Yep, next Tuesday (23rd May) get yr asses over to Dalston for a night of musical ecstacy.
It's at
BARDEN’S BOUDOIR
38-44 Stoke Newington Road
N16 7XJ
It's apparently a beautiful venue with a killer soundsystem...
Kick Off is @ 10pm (I think), and I believe the final whistle will be blowing at 3am. I'll need to confirm this though...
It's £2 to get in before 11 & £4 after. Sadly teh economics wouldn't add up for it to be free.
Topping the bill is DJ GORKY - one third of Bonde Do Role. They are prime movers in the world of Baile Funk, having had the honour of the first release on Diplo’s new label, Mad Decent.
What’s Baile Funk? Well it’s basically crazy Brazillian hip-hop, with a more Miami Bass flavour. 80s hits & stuff like The Clash is often used as the backing, and it’s about the most exciting musical genre out there at the moment.
You can hear a track by Bonde do Role on my myspace page at the moment, and you can (and should) listen to a mix by DJ Gorky here.
It’s stunning. As you can hear he mixes the Baile Funk up with some electro hits / Daft Punk / Gorillaz etc. .. just check that first track, firing Alter Ego's 'Rocker' into the mix. Yeah, the boy has skillz.
So it’s official…. Baile Funk rocks. And you can hear one of its best exponents in action. There was a good article about it in the Observer last year if you wanna find out more.
Also playing are the guys from the Skull Juice blog. They have a couple of incredible mixes online, the latest of which was played on John Kennedy’s show on XFM. You can download that from here. I've not heard 'em in the flesh yet, but their web mixes are terrifyingly good!
Terrifying because i'll be attempting to back up these fucking dj gods with some excellent records and not completely terrible mixing.
Casper from Fluokids has put the whole shebang together, for which you'll be able to give him some love, as he graces the decks also. Not too much though, as he may be concentrating.
For sure there’s gonna be some seriously quality music, and some crazy dance fever going down, so I hope you can make it along. Party Anthems; Brand New Bangers; Brazillian Flavours and generally anything condusive to dancefloor action.
