dj nights



pick of the week:

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26

REGRESSIVE (one-off) (electro) (house) (techno) @ the Five Spot w/ Ulysses, DJ Unknown, Olivetti and Jae Signal, $5. New wave exploded in the å80s. Techno took over in the å90s. Now, DJs are regurgitating that å80s vibe and fusing it with a present-day techno-vibe -- a.k.a. "electroclash," a genre that has become more than just a flavor of the month. With deep respect for the past, Manhattan-based DJs Ulysses and Fischerspooner’s DJ Unknown mix up house, techno, electro, Italo-disco, acid house, freestyle and disco. This is a record release party for Ulysses’ debut 12" release on his own Stratologics label -- No One Expects It To Last -- a three track excursion through Italian disco warped with digital precision.
