All Together Now
Sometime last winter, sQuare one studios (R.I.P.) hosted a benefit for the Second Gallery (R.I.P.) wherein we welcomed a NYC-based artist by the name of Kingdom. It was a very lively benefit featuring DJs Red Foxxx, Lone Wolf and Baltimoroder, plus an opening performance from squall/noise duo Dania Shapes. We also recorded some of the party for the film to document the sQuare one phenomenon.
Kingdom is a visual artist from New York (that’s his excellent Mary J. Blige projection above more here and here), but lately he’s also been a music producer/manager. This Saturday, Boston’s Great Scott welcomes Kingdom, 8 or so DJs and Michelle.
Flyer by Build Black Clouds.
Michelle has recently been played on the Annie Mac’s influential radio show on the BBC. They are quite the phenomenon: five gay black girls from Brooklyn with a fierce attitude and beats to match:
Michelle - “You Don’t Know Michelle” (z-share link)
Kingdom himself is a producer:
Kingdom - “Dance It Off ft. Telfar and Melissa Burns” (z-share link)
The survey of other DJs on the bill is an attempt to bring and assortment of Boston parties under one roof — the 18+ Paper party, Hearthrob at Middlesex, Todomundo at the Milky Way, Happy Endings at the Paradise Lounge and so on. Each of whom brings a unique sound to the night. E-Marce from Paper, for example, rocks party hits like this:
Blonde Acid Cult - “Shake It Loose (E-Marce’s Fcked & Loaded Remix)”
While Basstown resident DJ Die Young comes equipped with his own remixes (find his Thunderdome IX Booty mix over at our friends Basstown):
Daft Punk vs. Timbaland - “The Way I Phoenix (Die Young Extended Edit)”
Die Young’s minimal half recently put on this remix of Teletexile (aka Pamela Martinez, who, coincidentally (or not actually?), was one of the first to help us in our film project:
Teletextile - “Heartquake (DJDY Remix)”
In artist/album of the year news, Thom Yorke released a remix EP (we swear to god he reads this blog, hi Thom!) which includes the SiC-featured Modeselektor, techno scalper Surgeon, Warp label’s Various and, indeed, Burial:
Thom Yorke - “And It Rained All Night (Burial Remix)”
While we stumbled upon this most excellent Hot Chip remix of Tracey Thorn (Everything But the Girl) and her cover of The Pet Shop Boys:
Tracey Thorn - “King’s Cross (Hot Chip Remix)”
