Speaking in Code Screening / After Party
It’s benefit time. Thanks for those who communicated via the Stylus Magazine story (below), but now it’s time to reenlist our local grass roots support to raise the rest of the money to wrap filming and begin the lengthy edit process. We’ve got a good idea.
We’ll show stunning, exclusive footage from Modeselektor’s performance at Sonar 2006. The show is the biggest in the young duo’s career when they play after DJ dynamo Miss Kittin on one of the largest and most well-respected stages in all of the music world. The cinematic adventure is exclusively for your eyes only.
For now.
Around 11pm, Erik Pearson and David Day, the two sQuare production resident DJs, take the decks at Robot Love Songs’ loft space. (To gain entry, you must sign up for their email list at their website). Erik and David will spin the best tracks they have — definitive sets of some of the most exciting techno being made in the world today. We’re plotting the set list as we speak.
The Stylus Magazine interview with Director Amy Lee Grill went on-line Friday. It’s good stuff. Click the image below (or here) to read it. You’ll also find a mix from Stylus Editor Todd Burns and numerous charts from the completely on-point staff at the ambitious site; a staff which includes one of sQuare’s first interviews, freelancer and current Phoenix correspondant Nick Sylvester.
Our wonderful local Boston Camera also did an interview with one of their favorite customers (us, we’ve rented untold $$$ of cameras and equipment from them, thanks, mostly to you). Read their interview with Amy here.
The Stylus image above, and all things exclusive and underground, reminds us of a track from International Pony, a pop group related to Kompakt via of their DJ, DJ Koze. (Their new single “Gothic Girl” is out now — see the video here).
Between their UK top 20 hit “Leaving Home” and this new track, they recorded a one-off single where Stylus named that column. “In Our House.” It’s a majestic (8+ minute) sweeping track that bubbles and slips through your ears and into your cerebellum. Just the kind of thing we like.
Hey, hangover symphonies / And sweaty Sundays / DJs and moped races / In the hallway /
Hey, this is your invitation / We’d like to see you move / And this is how we’re gonna work it
And this is how it goes
In…
Our house
International Pony - “Our House”
We would be silly not to mention our night at the Middlesex Lounge, which goes off this Thursday with DJ David Day and DJ Billy Kiely, who himself is making the trip to Koln and the Total 7 party next weekend.
Come out this Thursday, too. Free.
