FLOSSTRADAMUS @ Sonotheque – January 12, 2008
Definitely be @ this show….
Doors open 9pm
$3 PBR’s
$7 cover
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).

This is by no means an advertisment for sonotheque or flosstradamus – just a recomendation for a good night
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….

Juke All Night, Play All Day :: Chicago’s rainbow colored party scene blew up big in 2007, led by Flosstradamus and Kid Sister. Now it’s the whole city’s turn to shine.
By Jen Boyles Photography by Keith Claunch
<!– –>They call Chicago the “City Of Big Shoulders,” but when it comes to hip-hop, the only thing clinging to the Windy’s brawny frame has been a big ol’ chip. Despite a legendary house scene and recent nesting of noteworthy indie-rockers, Chicago’s rap artists have only to gaze up at the loosely connected and hard-road successes of Common, Twista, Lupe Fiasco and obvious golden boy Kanye West, who’s made passable attempts to raise all of them up at one point or another. The only overnight celebrities made seem to have been Daft Punk as far as ’Ye’s concerned, so what’s really to blame for this long-standing disconnect? Self-hindering over-competitiveness, maybe? Perhaps that unshakable Second City complex radiating from big brother New York? Whatever the reason, thankfully things are changing for this blue-collar crossroads city, often called Haterville by even its own players. There’s indeed something brewing deep within the city’s bowels, and it’s not due to compounded years of “red hots,” gyros and Giordano’s. Nope—Chicago’s dusting off and popping its collective collar, and in true Gangland fashion, it’s being anything but quiet about it.
PARTY ALL THE TIME
“What’s going on, Chicago?” Curt Cameruci, aka Autobot, yells into a crackling mic from a shoddy DJ booth at the Wicker Park bar Subterranean. Along with the other half in his wildly popular DJ duo, Flosstradamus, Cameruci and Josh Young (J2K) are playing to a hyped crowd of loyal fans in the upstairs of the venue that’s about 50 times bigger than the Town Hall Pub, where their now-infamous first “Floss parties” were held just last year. Autobot smartly drops in a treat for the younger crowd on this 18-and-up Wednesday: A trivial departure from their usual juke-meets-mainstream, rap-meets-electrified-indie-rock tracks, Daft Punk’s “One More Time” peels away layers of clothes like it was, well, the First Time. And looking around at the youngsters, maybe it is? A packed house is always to be expected for Flosstradamus, but this isn’t the only party popping tonight. Just one neighborhood away, another duo—one of many local acts Floss has helped hoist into the public eye—is tearing it up as well. At Schuba’s on the North Side, a slightly older, nearly sold-out crowd is blowing the Cool Kids’ minds. continue reading

Grooverider busted in Dubai for pot, porn
According to British tabloid the Sunday Mirror, drum and bass pioneer Grooverider was arrested after pot and porn DVDs were found in his record bag as he arrived to play a show in Dubai.
If these charges are true, the legendary DJ could be in a sizable spot of trouble as the drug laws in Dubai are notoriously strict.
This summer Canadian Bert Tatham was given four years in jail after being caught with less than .6 grams of hash and two poppy bulbs during a layover at the Dubai airport. Tatham was on his way home from Afghanistan where he’d been advising farmers on alternative crops to the opium poppy and according to reports, the bulbs were old, dried and completely inert.
There’s a Free Bert Web site up to promote his cause, but could we be in need of a Free Grooverider site soon if he can’t find a way out of these charges.
Nov 16 Update – New Album coming soon for Mr. Aoki – click here for details
Went to this party last night & it was pretty sick…Free Stoli Vodka all night. Steve Aoki’s set was super nice…And when I was walking out of the bathroom I bumped into Common & his entourage…
3 Mixtapes put together by Chicago’s SINcere….
Four years, three painstakingly-detailed sets, 28 sassy characters, a head-shaking 10,000 photos later and Terpins Greco, the 40-member Brazilian team responsible for producing Battle: The Vinyl War, is finally seeing the juicy fruits of their labor. This month and next their stop-motion animation will be shown on Brazil’s Cartoon Network channel in a four-part weekly series.
The shorts, which clock in at a brief five minutes each, follow the story of a vinyl shakedown between two DJs set in the favelas of São Paulo. Though all fictional, it’s the classic story of the established versus the newcomer. DJ Black Jahmantha, a man who needs no introduction, faces DJ Air, a new up-and-comer, while DJ Thiade oversees the battle. Staying true to real life scenes found in Brazilian street and hip-hop culture, famous underground hip-hop DJs King and Cia were recruited to be the voices and music behind the main characters and Thiade got to cameo as himself.
The successive shorts, which began last Friday, 21 September 2007, will air over the next few Fridays at midnight on the Brazilian cable network. The rest of us will have to wait for their plans to expand the broadcast to all of Latin America and eventually land in the U.S. at a future undetermined date. For now, check out the trailer here.

Saturday night check out Dyrekt & Touch Nice on the 1’s & 2’s – rocking that dope shit…
Dyrekt – photo | alicia frenatt
Given that his tunes are requested (and more importantly, played) daily on Australia’s biggest indie radio stations and that his live acts manage to sell out within hours, it’s somewhat surprising that Kiwi-turned-Aussie Popolice is still a completely down-to-earth guy content with creating tunes that cause even the poser kids to get up and cut loose. CH caught up with Popolice on the cusp of international acclaim to talk about pop, posers and pizza.
Who is Popolice?
A one-man band that originated in Auckland, NZ and now exists in Melbourne, Australia.
How, why and when did it start?
Popolice started in 1997 as a result of me not being good enough at sports and too good at computer games.
Biggest influences?
My influences are extremely varied…common reference points are lots of bands from New Zealand’s Flying Nun record label and My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Pavement—obvious indie-pop influences to be honest—although Sydney’s Gerling might well be one of my biggest influences, particularly their album When Young Terrorists Chase The Sun (2001)…mixing samples, pop, noise, techno, acoustic, rock, whatever….
What have you eaten today?
Fatoush salad I made based on a recipe I learned from working at a cooking school. I eat two minute noodles too—most flavors—but one has to be healthy if one is to rock!
What’s playing in the background?
Listening to the new Justice album, getting hooked on this indie/disco sound—once again, [I'm] behind the times. I first heard about Nirvana one week after Kurt Cobain died. Whatever’s happening now, I’ll be an expert in three years.
If you could play a soundtrack to one film, what would it be?
Woodenhead, a New Zealand film by Florian Habicht. All the dialog and music was recorded before filming even took place. The actors acted to a soundtrack—not pretentious at all, though it may seem by description. It’s a really moving and surreal film like a fairy tale.
Biggest compliment?
Thanks for the add.
Where to from here?
Experimenting more with electronic music but still keep the noisy guitar element there. Not sure, maybe back to NZ for a bit. Maybe New York—who knows? For now I’m more than happy to go to Barkley Square in suburban Melbourne for a slice of Margerita Pizza.
Update: She’s cool…but that’s a lot to say….
This is none other than Ebony Bones—a great name for an incredible singer who is as yet unsigned but getting a load of word of mouth buzz in London, due mostly to her frenetic live performances. Don’t be fooled by the good looks. She’s got Peaches mouth, Missy Elliot’s sense of the ridiculous and a band as tight as The White Stripes and frantic as The Hives. She’s set to make an appearance at this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival with her bag of bizarrely-named tunes like “Don’t Fart On My Heart,” which you can see the award-winning video for here. You can sample the rest of her wares at Ebony Bones’ MySpace.
