See everyone on Saturday! Don’t forget your winter formal attire, and to give Mike/Computer Club BIRTHDAY SPANKINGS!!!!

Although not directly related to Blow Up LA, everyone likes free music. So here’s an awesome mix and a story that goes with it you can read while the mix downloads!

A long time ago, when I was really into the drum and bass scene in Florida in 1999, I was at an event where a record was thrown off the turntables and into the crowd. Yes, people used records to mix then! I’m not talking serrato records either! Anyhow, that record flew into a ceiling fan, which catapulted it down at a ridiculous speed….right into my FACE. I was knocked completely out cold and fell down. This was the first time I met UK drum and bass producer/dj and owner of East Side Records, A-Sides. He was so concerned that he ran over and picked me up and helped me. I ended up with a mild concussion, and an adopted big brother. It’s been ten years since that night, and I couldn’t have asked for a more hilarious start to an incredible friendship. A-sides has dropped more drum and bass mixes and original tracks than you can imagine during that time, but this mix is actually one of the rarer hip hop mixes of all 80s tracks. It’s rad as hell, and you probably will enjoy it:) Huge thank you to him for sending this over to me!

80s Hip Hop Mix by A-Sides

Also, for those of you who also listen to drum and bass, he will be dj’ing the Respect 10 year anniversary party in Los Angeles on March 10th! He’s legendary.

So we are just a few short weeks away from January’s winter formal, and I can’t believe I haven’t found a date yet…OMFG HALP! Anyhow, to get you pumped up I will tell you who two of our amazingly talented dj’s are. First up, we have Cobra Krames who is coming back to knock your socks off. Remember last time when he practically blasted yall to the moon? What a fun Oktoberfest party that was. And now…omg yall! For the first time at blow up, and someone I am most excited about because he’s a southerner like myself and I’ve known him for years….

COMPUTER CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the awesomeness of Mike (aka Computer Club and Gigantor of Evol Intent) has been rocking my ipod to death with his covers of New Order, Ministry, as well as remixes of Nine Inch Nails and Prince. I’ve always been an goth/industrial girl so those songs have a special place in my heart, and to hear them reworked into electro dancefloor KILLERS makes me even happier– it’s literally the best of both worlds. He is continually in the studio with Le CastleVania, and always puts out quality tracks. He’s just moved to LA from the dirty south, as I made the same move a few years ago, and he’s been rockin’ kids all over the continent for years and years and years. Make sure you all check him out on myspace and give him a nice Blow Up Hazing…er welcoming party on the 24th.

Now, add these tracks to your collection and get ready to dance on the 24th!:) Right click and save as!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy new years eve, but we wanted to let you know to start hunting down the perfect date for our 2nd Annual Blow Up LA Winter Formal. Last year’s was one of our most memorable Blow Up LA’s ever, and we hope to surpass that this year. Stay tuned for line up announcements. Tommy B will be back with a special Winter Formal photobooth, so make sure you get your dresses and suits ready:)

We can’t thank everyone enough for making our holiday party kick ass. It was truly amazing with all the friends and family there jumping around and getting crazy. We will be bringing a lot of awesome things in 2009, so be ready. In the meantime grab your holiday photobooth pix over at Polite in Public’s website.

See you next year!

Dear party people!!!

Saturday is almost here! I really hope that everyone will make it to our last party of 2008– this one is going to be extra awesome, in case you haven’t looked at the line up yet. And if you haven’t, come a bit closer so i can kick you! Make sure you get your rest and drink your redbulls (preferably with vodka from the bar if you are 21+;) because Designer Drugs are playing a late set ~2am….and you’ll want to be on the dancefloor for that.

Please, please, please remember that it is CASH ONLY! We don’t have an ATM. If you do need to get cash before the event and you forgot to get it on the way, there is an ATM at Wells Fargo at 8625 W. 3rd St. We know it’s cold, but it’s going to be nice and toasty in the venue, so please try to leave big jackets in the car because there will be NO ins and outs.

Dress pretty, or dress festive….the Polite in Public photobooth is back with a very special holiday backdrop that could end up rivaling the 2 year anniversary one of white tigers and unicorns…. =) Local Tourist will have a blowout sale so you can buy X-mas gifts of Blow Up LA Cheer:) It’s also Dan Sena’s birthday, so birthday shots and spankings for him are very much encouraged.

263 South Main St. @ 3rd– you know the spot, we were there last month:) See you on Saturday! HOLY CRAP I AM EXCITED!!

Do not forget to RSVP here!
