Joakim DJ Set Axis

Thursday night our promotion/booking project takes on a second show, this time going straight at Techno with a guest DJ set from Joakim, one of the premiere aesthetes in Europe and manager of the Tigersushi label and others.
We’re doing it at Club i-D at Axis on Lansdowne Street, above the Axis nightclub. Axis last Saturday was a tremendous success [pics here]. Club i-D is smaller, but has a huge soundsystem yet only holds 300 or so people, which is what we needed. We need this show to be loud loud.
Room is limited so get your $5.00 RSVP in now. (click to open an email or shoot one to basstownprod[@]gmail.com).
You must email your RSVP to get $5.00 off. Your name will be on a list at the door.
Joining Joakim are local talents Slumber Party (aka DJezus and DJ Die Young) and local dance-music maven Damien Culvalier:
Damien rolls with the RobotLoveSongs crew and, like Joakim, is French. I always get a kick about telling people he was a Vice Magazine “Do”. Of course, more than that he’s a great DJ — he played Make It New a few times, and his sets are always fun. Be sure not to miss it.
Joakim himself is playing a DJ set of dance music (loud!), but is more in-tune with a good sound than a lot of dance noise. Here’s two exquisite remixes, one of dance-pop queen Annie and a lesser known rework of Antena:
Annie - “Always Too Late (Joakim Remix)
Antena - “Camino Del Sol (Joakim’s Antwerp Remix)”
Send in your names for the $5.00 RSVP list now.
We’ve also been informed that Sharam Jey from Cologne Germany is playing a last minute show at Axis downstairs as well. Coming to our show allows to you go downstairs to check it out. Here’s a rapidshare.de mp3 mix from Sharam to check out in advance.
See you Thursday.
