The line was long, the sun was beating down, the muffled bass teased everyone, but we all knew it would be worth the wait. Recently I read a book called “One Mind” by Dr. Larry Dossey. The premise of Dossey’s book is that as individual humans we don’t create consciousness, but merely interpret or connect to one universal consciousness – “One Mind.” As I descended down the stairs the purple and aqua canopy floated in the breeze. The glitter, laughter and of course beautiful

MZG, formerly known as Monozygotik, are kicking off the entire Suwannee Hulaween festival with their opening set for Thursday’s pre-party. It’s no coincidence that they dropped off a solid, jackin’ house tune in anticipation of their set. The “High Voltage” remix is available for free download and streaming below. #acslater #garage #house #MZG

Cielo’s Funktion One sound system has a very special gust blessing it tonight. The one and only Jamie XX has some new tunes he wants to test out on a state-of-the-art speaker set and has chosen Cielo on the west side of Manhattan as the venue to do so. He apparently hits the stage at 11.30, and admission is free before 11, so get there early and have a great time! #cielo #music #jamiexx #deephouse #NewYork #house #NYC #thexx

The Night Bass Tour, featuring Jack Beats, AC Slater, Kry Wolf and Hannah Wants, is slated to hit Brooklyn this Friday. Hosting the freakishly DOPE lineup is none other than Verboten, which has more or less hosted the only club nights worth attending in New York since opening 6 months ago. If that isn’t enough, it’s Trouble & Bass’ 8th Anniversary party, and as if this killer lineup wasn’t quite enough, they’re bringing in Swindle from the UK! To celebrate and anticipate, we’

Kygo is taking his Endless Summer Tour by storm; especially in our good ole City of New York. Kygo not only played a sold out show at Brooklyn Bowl last night, but he started off his weekend with 3 other sold out shows at Output Day Party in Brooklyn, Bowery Ballroom in LES,  and the Music Hall of Williamsburg. And Kygo is only getting started. The Norwegian producer has 12 other sold out shows already on his US tour and just released dates for the Europe leg. Brooklyn Bowl t

Over the weekend my dear friend Kate and I had the amazing opportunity to check out our first Cityfox party. Cityfox is a Swiss record label that describes its product as; “Always danceable, psychedelic and fresh electronic rhythms somewhere between techno & house.”   I’d be hard pressed to describe my taste more accurately. The location was eventually announced. The random warehouse 15 minutes from the Jefferson L train quickly turned into one of the busiest blocks in the 5

As I previewed last week, Sunday marked the end of Lee Burridge’s “All Day I Dream” parties for the summer… I rolled with Chris and my friend Amanda.  Things seemed pretty typical for Bushwick (unassuming industrial building surrounded by Bodegas). As we walked through the doors, we quickly realized this was very much not the case. Where to start? The people were vibrant and kind. The venue was spacious and loud. The weather was something you write poetry about. The night fel

SBTRKT stopped by BBC Radio 1 yesterday for an exclusive live performance on Zane Lowe’s show, and he brought some friends too. Sampha and Ezra (of Vampire Weekend) joined the masked warrior as he gave the live debut of the two songs we’ve heard off the upcoming Wonder Where We Land, “Temporary View” and “New Dorp, New York.” He also gave the world debut of “War Drums,” a bonus track featuring Warpaint, along with the live debut of “Highs & Lows” from his recent instrumental 

Shoot People for VerbotenNewYork.com It’s true. DJ EZ might just be the greatest DJ I’ve ever seen in my life. Energy, versatility, a seemingly bottomless knowledge of old & new tunes, technical DJ skills and that thing called FUN combine for a truly memorable DJ set. Trouble & Bass hosted the night, and did a nice job at it. Nevermind, a new DJ duo on the label, warmed things up with some wonky UK bass and some original dubstep, paving the way for EZ’s set. For starters, EZ

The title track for Caribou’s forthcoming album Our Love is as good as it needs to be. If you know what this gentleman is capable of, then there is no accepting mediocrity in his art. Thankfully, we won’t have to accept anything but the best, because this song is freakin’ bangin’. Our Love comes out October 7. #indie #edm #techno #house #newmusic #caribou #ourlove

About 15 minutes after arriving to Verboten this blonde chick put her arm around me, posing the question, “Hey there! How can I have as much fun as you’re having?” Presumably looking for ecstasy. But I wasn’t on any drugs…just a little herb smoke and some red wine. I took a sip, thinking of how to answer. Finally I said, “I guess you just have to really like music?” What I should have said was, “How could you not?” But this revelation didn’t come until after Cajmere had taken

Cajmere is launching a new residency at Brooklyn’s Verboten night club tonight. The Chicago house music legend, who also goes by the name Green Velvet, will take us on a journey that only few DJs know how to do. His sets are well-crafted and often utilize spoken word to alter the perception of the music being played. Tickets are still available for the event here. Here’s a sweet mini-mix he posted on his SoundCloud a couple days ago. We can only pray he drops some Michael Jac

Now this is a lineup announcement I can really get behind… Verboten is excited to announce the location for our big DIRTYBIRD BBQ will be right down the street from the club at 50 Kent Ave [at N11th St]. We’ve lined up a cool surprise guest, a massive D3 sound system and lots of great BBQ, including whole roast pic, dirtybird wings, burgers, veggie burgers, pulled pork cuban sandwiches, shrimp skewers and more! We kick off the festivities an hour early at 3pm to better fit in

Claude Vonstroke’s quirky group of avant-bass producers is bringing their highly-acclaimed Dirtybird BBQ series to Brooklyn. Claude Vonstroke tops the lineup himself, but will bring along an impressive group of DJs in Justin Martin, Kill Frenzy, Christian Martin and Justin Jay. A special guest will join the gang (last time that meant Just Blaze in Miami!). One thing I love about this crew is the amount fun they have. They don’t take party music too seriously, and I think that

I wasn’t a big fan of Flume’s “Tennis Courts” remix, both because I’m not a big fan of Lorde and I thought it was almost the same thing as his disclosure remix. I am happy to see a return to (what I believe is) really dope material with his latest re-work of Seekae’s “Test & Recognize.” I was even happier to check out the original and another remix by a gent named HWLS to find out that I can listen to variations of this song for what is going on 30 minutes now. Here’s all the

Last week we shared a new Jim-E Stack track called “Reassuring,” and today I’m happy to post another one from the producer’s forthcoming album Tell Me I Belong, which is in stores 7/29. Peep “Is It Me” below and get the album on its release date. #edm #downtempo #jimestack #music #jamiexx #house #jacquesgreene

Ever since seeing Jim-E Stack open up for Shlohmo, his brand of downtempo beats have been on my radar. This one is from his forthcoming album, and though it’s been released for a couple months now, it’s just popping up on my radar now and I’d love to share it with you 🙂 #edm #downtempo #jimestack #music #jamiexx #house #jacquesgreene
