Don’t sleep: Local Satellite Radio don Paul Dailey works the decks at Make It New this Thursday with resident DJs Billy Kiely and Alan Manzi.DJ David Day at the Berwick Fundraiser up the street at the Enormous Room. Thursday 28 December.

Next week, a guest appearance from new techno firebrand DJ Die Young:

DJ Die Young - Minimix 2006

Make It New.

Another 10+ days without a blog post. Well, between the myspace address, the flickr account, the Phoenix page the Make It New page, it’s not like we’re falling asleep over here!

Thanks a ton to the Thunderdome 2 crew. Between Mike (Brilliant Mistake), Red Foxxworth (Thug Casino), Baltimoroder (Hearthrob), Morgan Louis (Pop Providence) and MiCL PTVN it was a tremendous success. Pics here. Rumor is they kick it again the Friday of MLK weekend. Get on their myspace to stay informed. We also rocked the Enormous Room on Saturday (McKay slayed with old-school prom-style hip-hop), Make It New on Thursday (big props to Baldur the Icelandic king of the electro-house breakdown) and threw in a set at the after-hours club Rise for good measure:

The DJ booth was like the cockpit of a jet fighter. Totally crazy intimidating style. But playing to a crowd that actually wants to listen to techno and knows the tracks was totally refreshing. Thanks to Paul Dailey for the invite. Now Mr. Dailey, you got to bring in the rest of our MiN people, especially Erik.

A few things brewing. First off, tonight we join with album of the year candidates Spank Rock at the new Paper-style party called Throwed.

Cost is a reasonable $7.00 so if you’re going to go to a party before the XXXmas season, this would definately fit the bill. Rumor is Spank Rock MC Naaem Juwan is going to spit some new verse and it’s also the return of Emerson DJ (Revolutions R.I.P.) and local celebrity DJ Gina Turner.

From All Skate parties in Dorchester to the tres chic Viva-Radio to the way-hot All Disco party in NYC (R.I.P.) Mssr. Colbourne is hailed as a rare disco and italo disco EXPERT. His collection and knowledge knows no end. And if anyone knows waist-winding rare grooves it is this man.Check out Colbourne’s latest mix here.

As for the movie, Speaking In Code, our Director and Director of Photography are almost finishing planning for the final leg to Germany and we’re really excited our people over there are coming through. I can promise it will be worth your while. We’re looking at Berlin and Jena one more time. Wish them a safe trip (it was Amy’s birthday today as well).

Before that, we are headed to New York City to catch one of our favorite DJs: Superpitcher who’s playing the We Are Robots Xmas party:

Superpitcher (Aksel Schaufler) is an integral part of the Kompakt empire. His luxurious sets combine the romance of old Europe with the crisp glamour of the darkest nightclub. It’s a good send-off before the holidays to be sure.

One of the funnier clips of the film we’ve watched is Superpitcher’s interview inside the Kompakt kitchen, when he spends a good amount of time talking about shoes and how important shoes are to his style.

Here’s a remix he did for Mute Records of German pop star Andreas Dorau — pretty indicative of Schaufler’s tamed exuberance. Most times, his tracks take you right to the edge of release and keep you simmering. This one is no different:

Andreas Dorau - 40 Frauen (Superpitcher Remix)

If anyone can clue us in on the lyrics, feel free to comment.

After a whirlwind of a fall at Director Amy Grill’s day job things are still progressing on the documentary and gaining momentum: earlier this fall the project brought an entertainment lawyer on board and, thanks to some keen accountant types, is almost finished with the latest version of the business plan.

Our brief, early sample clips have been well-recieved and our 220-hour archive is being combed over as we speak.

We’ve got a growing list of contacts who have expressed interest in Speaking in Code and we can’t wait to reach out to all of them to get them involved.

Google Video links are here, and there’s more here, but the filming is 95% complete. Now comes the fun part.

We’ve decided we can’t stream early clips, sorry to those who have asked.

We have, however, begun to take screenshots and throw them onto flickr. And we’ll keep adding them until we get tired.

This way you can see the incredible talent of our Director of Photography, the vision of the Director, and all the access our subjects would allow (thanks a lot everyone).

It’s great-looking stuff and — after 220 incredible hours become 90 minutes — it’ll be one of the best documentaries of the year.

We’ve been slacking a bit on the whole “MP3 Blog” part of this project, but here’s a real gem.

The Wighnomy Brothers are part of our project, and this New Year’s Eve they are celebrating somewhat of a rebirth at their hometown club in Jena, Germany. If you can’t be there, here’s the next best thing:

“Gamat 3000 - Feeling Love (Wighnomy’s Give Peace A Chance Remix)”

An early remix from the duo which kicks off their label’s CD compilation (which you can pick up here). They are one example of fascinating characters who fill our film.

Oh and we’ve polished up the documentary page in advance of a nice movie update. Stay tuned.
