SESSION 632: BLESS UP 07.22.10
Mixed by o1o1 | Sepalcure | Nihal | Liondub
With Love Pressure, the latest release on UK Dubstep giant Hotflush Recordings, Sepalcure is making the case for US producers of the predominantly British sound. Sepalcure’s combination of love for bass and ’90s house acapellas is the culmination of a cathartic two week collaboration between Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Praveen & Benoît). Their mix of tribal dub, house and two step beats works equally well for both late nights in the club and rainy, introspective nights at home. Detroit techno chords cut through wooden beats, neon synths and dubbed out atmospherics.

SESSION 631: BLESS UP 07.15.10
Mixed by o1o1 | Praying Mantis | Liondub
o1o1 (halcyon | nyc)
o1o1 is scratching his head. He has no grand statements to make about himself as a dj and new producer of the drum n bass sound that he cultivates. It is sometimes soulful, at other times tech-y, maybe minimal, and then at times undefinable. There is no scene here. No names to drop. He spins this brand of music every Saturday and Sunday at halcyon the shop, “the greatest record store in the world”, according to him. In the end, it’s all about the music, and who is attracted to it organically… the way a scene is made before a trend can be attached to it. o1o1 meets his co-conspirators in this new sound every week at halcyon. He is building the scene here, grassroots style, one head at a time. -
SESSION 630: BLESS UP 07.08.10
Mixed by mOma, Anthony Avatar & Liondub
DJ mOma has enjoyed a successful spell as NYC’s best kept DJ secret. The cat is officially out of the bag however and that particular spell is now over: mOma is now celebrated as one of the rotten apple’s most creative and sought-after spinmeisters. His versatile approach to reading diverse crowds and rocking dance floors has seen him grace turntables from the City’s highest profile clubs (Tenjune / Cain / Lotus) to downtown’s most exclusive spots (105 Riv / Gold Bar / The Box).
His seamless blend of funk soul hip hop reggae house and choice contemporary “bangers” also caught the ear of the entertainment industry as his services have been requested by Maxwell, Jill Scott and George Clooney; his weekly “Good Spot” residency – alongside Stimulus every Monday at 105 Riv – has been heralded as New York’s best party by nightlife industry types; his critically acclaimed “Satisfy My Soul” mixtape series has been described as the perfect mixtape collection by his DJ peers and casual listeners alike. mOma is also collaborating with The Rub’s heavyweight DJ Eleven on the Special Delivery project which consists of a monthly mixtape release accompanied by a monthly session at NYC’s premier musical mecca, APT.

Mr Saturday@rsvp
After a jaunt to London to play Horse Meat Disco and the Horse and Groom, Eamon and Justin return to Brooklyn for the first Mister Saturday Night loft party of the fall. Joining the boys for the evening is Efdemin, a German producer of austere yet lush house. The sounds he coaxes out of his machines are chunky and complex, and they’re going to sound great on the Turbosounds.
The party is at a new space in Brooklyn, a place you’ve likely walked past without even knowing it’s there. It’s smaller than where we normally throw down, so advance tickets are highly, highly recommended.
As for the exact location, we’ve got to keep it under wraps, but if you RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com, all the secrets will be revealed. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
MISTER SATURDAY NIGHT WITH JUSTIN CARTER, EAMON HARKIN & EFDEMIN
Saturday September 25th
RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com for location details
10p – 5a
Price $10 and $15 limited adv, $15 before 11a with RSVP, $20 on door
