Blow Up LA!

So new news first! BLOW UP LA is going quarterly - we are growing up and are taking things seriously. So this quarter, Spring fever, next quarter, BLOW UP Summer Smash!

Yes that means this March 20 is the last Blow Up until June.

This March 20, Blow UP is going so international it is ridiculous. We are teaming up with Tilt to bring:

From Sao Paulo, Brazil, the producer/remixer duo Database is presenting LA the opportunity to hear some exciting South American squelchy acid bass electro remixes and original jams. I’ve never had so much fun managing data. Listen to some of their remixes and original tracks

Then from NYC/Berlin, The Glass will be performing LIVE - yep! remember BANDS? you know those people who play INSTRUMENTS and SING? That is the situation we are dealing with ladies and gentlemen. The Glass write some pretty awesome musics and have SEXY Irish accents.

Legendary New York DJ Stretch Armstrong, who is responsible for introducing you to more hip hop than you could ever even begin to imagine. I mean read this bio ridiculous right?

SO last but not lease - from France we have the Penelope[s]. Displaying a wide range of sounds, everything from an amazing cover of Beastie Boys’ Sabotage to some more chill out vibes of their Lala land single. Check it out here!

So it would be good to give a bit of a recap, because I know you probably didn’t read any of that anyway and love BULLET POINTS:

• BLOW UP LA is on March 20
• at 10:00 PM with
• Database (Brazil)
• The Glass (NYC)
• Stretch Armstrong (NYC)
• The Penelope(s) (Paris)
• At the Echoplex
• 18+
• $12 at the door

Well that was a lot of fun. Next Blow UP I think we might try a POWERPOINT presentation.

The first time I saw Tommie Sunshine I thought who IS this beardy mothafucka. The first time I heard Tommie Sunshine, I thought WHOAH, that beard must be hiding musical secrets, assorted smiles etc. I mean just look at all of these assorted jams . Classic Disco/House/Acid mixed into maximum party-bilities.

Rounding out the night, the ever-fashionable Louisahhh of Staccato (who’s mix was stuck in my car CD player for 2 months - by choice!), and Steven Bloodbath, who has personally invented new ways to party that are so phenomenally illegal that i can’t even hint about what I’m talking about.

You don’t have to believe me that this will be awesome, check out our what our buddies at Tilt have to say - they have some more sweet jams posted there too :).

Oh man. Canada’s best contribution to life since poutine unstoppable duo Jokers of the Scene are playing Blow UP LA this Saturday at one of our favorite undisclosed (as of yet) locations. I don’t know if any of you happened to catch their set at Coachella but it was one of my favorite DJ sets of the entire festival.

If that weren’t enough, Goddollars, from the self described “poly-sexual dance party” otherwise known as “A Club Called Rhonda” will be actively churning the dancefloor into a sexy sweatbox (which sounds like a vagina and is actually surprisingly similar).

Dirty Dave and Whitney Fierce (Lewd NYC) will start the night off with enough sexual energy to sterilize a rape whale. Which doesn’t make sense, but neither does this.

Grab the JOTS remix of Passion Pit’s Little Secret from rcrdlbl.com here.

For the first time, we will be having live art at Blow Up LA, a special gift to us from the $tatus faction. You may be wondering who these guys are, but if you are out and about around Los Angeles, you are sure to find some of their work. T$F is a collective of artists who do it all. From painting, graphic design, wheat pastes, graffiti, illustrations, to dodgeball (an uphigh downlow dodgeball league underdog fave!) they do it all. Most recently, they worked with Mr. Brainwash on his massive art installation at the former CBS studios. Some of the art in the show was actually theirs! I’m not sure what the live art at blow up LA will consist of, but knowing what they can do, it’s going to be bad ass.
