Last night went to Flosstradamus & Pase Rock at the Abbey Pub. I’d caught a set @ Sonotheque a few weeks back and loved the crowd…Once again I was excited to be packed into a space with so many rad ass people…Everyone dancing – having fun…The night couldn’t have been better and then in walks Kid Sister for a killer live performance!!!

Thank you Flosstradamus, Pase Rock (even though I almost took you out when I slipped down the stairs)….& Kid Sister….

FLOSSTRADAMUS:

2 DJs, 3 turntables, and lots of people getting buck on the dancefloor. Forget what you think you know about spinning records. In 2005, DJs no longer need be characterized by n arrow labels like “hip hop,” ghetto tech,” or “house.” Jocks can sweep across all of those genres, mash them up together, and create something wholly new–something that can’t be easily pigeonholed.

Take it from Flosstradamus, the newly formed but already dynamic DJ duo comprised of Josh Young (J2K) and Curt Cameruci (Autobot). Like the emerging generation of post-millennium dancefloor crashers of the same ilk (see: Major Taylor, locally, and Diplo and Low Budget of Hollertronix nationally), Flosstradamus are more interested in getting the crowd moving–and grinding and sweating and bumping and shaking–than impressing any music elitists in the audience. They cut through genres indiscriminately, likely to play during any given half-hour: Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon,” Killer Mike’s “My Chrome” and the Cure’s “Lovesong”–perhaps sequentially, if you’re lucky.

With two men, a three-turntable setup, and an impressive catalogue of sounds (Young and Cameruci use programs called Serato and Final Scratch, respectively, which allows them to transfer all of their vinyl–at least 20 crates’ worth–to MP3s and treat them as records on the turntables).
