  • INTERVIEWS: STROBE LODGE DJS

    In 2004, Dennis Kane and Darshan Jesrani met during a sound check. A friendship and creative bond grew from that moment and Adult Section and Strobe Lodge eventually began. June 4th will be the next installment of the Strobe Lodge, and DailySession recently sent Darshan and Dennis some questions, via email, to get a better look at what pushes them and delivers such solid parties.

    01. How did the two of you meet and begin playing records together?

    DJ: I think the first time we met was at a sound check downstairs at APT on west 13th st. This was probably back in 2004-5.. Not too long after we did our first Adult Section night at a short-lived place called Opus 22, which was near the West Side Highway, an ill-fated venue which ended up closing because one of the bouncers shot someone right outside. That one good night we did there was enough though, to set the tone for what was to come.

    DK: We went in together to preview and EQ the new funktion 1 system at APT, I think in 2004, shortly after that we did a party at Opus 22, it was a one off really, but we had a great time and thought – why not do it again.

    2. What bonds you both creatively when it comes to playing events together?

    DJ: Probably just that we both aspire to play with the most feeling we can, and that we try to play up to people and make the place happen in the best way we know how at the moment. We try to employ some thought, and overall desire to see something different happen each time, each in our own way.

    DK: Well different but sympathetic approaches, but ultimately the desire to make the night as enjoyable as possible while exploring whatever genres of dance music that inspire us. Drive the bus up the hill, and then floor it down the hill! Seriously the idea of a crazed bus trip sounds like an apt description. The nights have always been full on, and there has been an offhanded and easy rapport with a really great crowd of people.

  • REVIEWS: JOY OF SUNDAY BEST

    By Anna Beta – The Village Voice

    I’m a reformed ’90s raver,” confesses DJ Doug Singer. “So dance parties for me used to be hundreds of people gathering at random spots and finding something in common together. The first parties I ever played were at campgrounds on a lake.”

    Seated together with his fellow DJ/promoters—North Carolina transplant Justin Carter and Irishman Eamon Harkin—at a bar in Fort Greene, Singer, an Ohio native, reminisces about a decade spent partaking in and promoting dance parties amid the cement strictures of New York, and how far the scene here has fallen. “With bottle service and Manhattan club life, going out became a chore. So we’re bringing it back to where you don’t have to be into anything other than having a good time.” [Read More]

  • NEWS: GOOD RECORDS SHOW IN JUNE

    Before 2005 Jonathan Sklute was working in finance and moonlighting as a hip-hop artist and DJ. But in 2005, Jonny decided to leave the spreadsheet world and open his own record shop, chasing the dream many don’t dare to touch. Good Records NYC was born and after word got around on the internet, DJs and collectors from around the globe were interested in what Jonny and the crew were selling. The list of rare and pricey selections can get as high as the four-figure range, but Good Records NYC has plenty of dollar bins, re-released, and used records to keep any shopper’s pocket satisfied.

    DailySession is proud to bring Jonny and his crew on board for our LIVE broadcasts. Starting June 4th @ 8pm (EST) we’ll be broadcasting LIVE every FRIDAY from the Alphabet City record shop, and we can’t wait to hear what they’ll be adding to the DailySession line up.

  • AfroDubSesssion-Amir

    SLF presents Afro-Dub Sessions
    Saturday, May 29, 2010, 10 p.m.–4 a.m.
    (and every last Saturday of the month)
    Rose Live Music, 345 Grand St., Brooklyn, NY

    Sound Liberation Front (SLF), an arts and music organization based in Brooklyn, presents Afro-Dub
    Sessions: a monthly party at Rose Live Music in Williamsburg that combines live music and DJs to
    celebrate the best in Dub and African-influenced sounds.

    This month?s party will feature an Africa-inspired guest set by Amir from the world-renown record-
    collecting duo Kon and Amir. Revered for his extensive knowledge of music, Amir has made a name for
    himself compiling rare grooves for the duo?s legendary Kings of Diggin?, On Track and Off Track releases
    on BBE Records. This includes the just-released Off Track III mix CD, which features eclectic African
    disco and soul from the period following Fela Kuti?s mid-70s creative peak. Amir also heads the record
    label arm of Wax Poetics magazine, and has been featured in XLR8R, Spine Magazine, The Source,
    Scratch, and Urb.

    As it does every month, Afro-Dub Sessions also features a pair of live performances by resident band
    Super Hi-Fi, which combines Afrobeat, Dub, live remixing and special guest appearances to create their
    signature Afro-Dub sound. The five-piece collective features members of Aphrodesia, Slavic Soul Party,
    The Superpowers, and the Blue Man Group.

    SLF?s resident DJs Linh, Q-Mastah and Lil Tiger will bring their diverse musical selections to the
    turntables to round out the night.

    Afro-Dub Sessions is dedicated to the idea that dub, born in Jamaica, and African musical styles like
    Afrobeat, Afropop and Afrofunk are natural partners in the origins of global dance music. Each month
    SLF explores these connections by hosting a different guest DJ specializing in Dub or African-influenced
    styles. The June 26 party will feature New York reggae specialists Deadly Dragon Sound System.

    SOUND LIBERATION FRONT is a Brooklyn-based non-profit organization devoted to the power of music
    as a socially liberating and unifying cultural force. Last summer, the group organized the Sound
    Liberation Festival in Brooklyn. The event featured hip-hop legends Brand Nubian; electro-Afrobeat
    pioneers Chico Mann; Ticklah; DJs Kenny Parker, Cosmo Baker, and Ian Friday; and, workshops by
    Afro Mosaic Soul and DubSpot. SLF also hosts SoundLib Wednesdays at Moe?s Bar in Fort Greene.

  • NEWS: LIMEWIRE AT CROSSROAD

    By Joseph Plambeck – NY Times

    Mark Gorton is a confident guy. He’s confident about his ideas. He’s confident about his enthusiasms. And he’s confident that his successes — like making money on Wall Street and promoting alternative transportation in New York — provide a record that backs him up.

    But that confidence faces a new test. Two weeks ago, a federal judge ruled that he and the popular file-sharing service he created, LimeWire, were liable for copyright infringement and could be forced to pay up to $450 million in damages. [Read More]

  • NEWS: UNEARTHING AUDIOBOOK

    Unearthing, the new project from legendary comic writer Alan Moore, isn’t a comic book at all; it’s a box set. On the audio recording, Moore reads his story aloud, while Crook&Flail– the duo of Fog main man Andrew Broder and Themselves/Subtle avant-rap guy Doseone— provide the score. Various other musical luminaries also contributed: Faith No More’s Mike Patton, Mogwai’s StuartBraithwaite, Jesu’s Justin Broadrick, and Hella’s Zach Hill. [Read More]

    It’s due July 5 in the UK and July 6 in the U.S. via Lex Records.

  • NEWS: TWO SOUNDS CLASH PART3

    TWO SOUNDS CLASH 3 : Friday May 28th 2010! Marcus Visionary “Carib” LP release…

    JUST ADDED!!! We are very proud to present::: PINCH (Bristol UK) from the Tectonic, Ear Wax, Soul Jazz, Planet Mu, Tempa & Punch Drunk camps with his signature, deep and heavy sound. (EL B and J-Da Flex cancellation)

    When they write the history of dubstep, it’ll be hard not to mention Rob Ellis, AKA Pinch, in the first few lines. As the label boss behind Tectonic, he’s signed some of the genre’s biggest tunes, and nurtured some of the genre’s biggest talents. As the founder of the Subloaded party, he was among the first to push 100% dubstep-oriented events in his homebase of Bristol.

    But it’s as a DJ and producer that Ellis has truly made his mark. Hugely versatile, yet consistent enough to have an identifiable sound, Ellis has spent the past decade honing his craft and pushing the genre forward in equal measure. That careful balance looks set to continue: In the past year, he’s jettisoned Fruity Loops for Logic, and will release the first non-dubstep release on Tectonic, Pursuit Grooves’ Foxtrot Mannerisms. Inspiration, it seems, is coming from all sides. And most of it, as you might expect, is on dubplate. At the moment, Pinch’s bag is full of heavyweight, bass wrenching dubs. This will be a set not too miss!!!

    Friday May 28th 2010 will be a legendary night in nyc history as Liondub International and Konkrete Jungle Outernational present the 3rd installment of their already infamous TWO SOUNDS CLASH PARTIES…This event, which as always features two floors of serious bass heavy sound, brings in some heavyweight talent from across the world to celebrate the release of Marcus Visionary’s first full length “CARIB” LP on the liondub international imprint, which officialy drops at all major digital retailers on MAY 2nd, 2010…Singles off the CARIB LP have garnered support from heavyweight DJ’s like Rusko, Annie Nightingale, MJ Cole, Benny Page, Shy Fx and Mistajam just to name a few. The album is focused on Marcus’ genre defying 140 bpm sounds that he has developed over the past 3 years, but you can also expect a full audio assault of dubstep and jungle from him as well.

    To top the main room off, Iron Myke of Enkryption Project will drop serious bassweight as Human? hosts and drops his signature “Fuck Your Genre” sound on the crowd. This room will be absolute heat!

    At the same time, the Reggae and Dancehall VIP room will feature a Live set from Jahdan and Liondub who are both celebrating the release of The General video as well as Jahdan’s participation in Marcus’ full length release with hits like The General Remix, Brooklyn Anthem Remix and Mama So Divine Remix. To top things up even further, Brooklyns own secret weapon Livity Movements will drop Reggae heat alongside, Silvacat Sound with Jugganaut and King Capone. Lastly our resident video man, and dubwise specialist, Amadeus, will bring the roots reggae and dubwise flavor to open the VIP room up..

    This night will go down as one of the most monumental events in NYC. Dont miss history in the making as Two Sounds Clash returns to Brooklyn, Friday May 28th, 2010. Jungle & Dubstep face off with Reggae and Dancehall!
