dj nights

pick of the week:
FRIDAY, JULY 25
RISE OF THE MACHINES (one-off) (breaks) (house) (techno) (progressive house) (deep house) @ Tribecca w/ Anton Chasm, Mz. Buttakup, Circuit Breaker, Dozia and Deep C, $15. Yeah, well, Terminator 3 was nothing special. 2 was by far the best of the three. What’s the connection with that mediocre movie and this party? Couldn’t tell ya. Maybe it just makes for a good flier. But I can say this: Anton Chasm dates back to Philly’s early rave days as one of the original Pure Children DJs and one of the first DJs ever to drop drum and bass in this town. Now, he runs his Sound Alliance record label -- dishing out funky-fresh, Florida-style breaks geared only for the dancefloor. Meanwhile, Mz. Buttakup offers her sexy-diva serenades on the mic. Prepare to be pummeled by the raw and gritty old-school techno of 611’s Circuit Breaker -- co-founder of Hard to Swallow Records alongside Frankie Bones. And, of course, get housed with Tribecca’s Friday night residents: Dozia of Ovum Recordings and Tigerhook’s Deep C.
