Wow, intense day in NYC. Can’t even put in all the links of activities, so I’ll just say that Sneaks was a blast last night and big ups to Sharmaji and Sunder for throwing a terrific party were people were down for adventurous music (although even within that I saw that the crowd ran away for the 15 minutes I played Post-Fly-Lo/Dimlite stuff…. amazing to me really, this is the stuff that interests me most, but I guess it’s a long stretch to call it dance music and mostly even underground people just want to dance.)
Tomorrow is OVC with the afterparty at Le Poisson Rouge. Then for me Dub War!!! Which I’ve never been to!
But the big news, for me, is that I got added, thanks to DJ N-Ron, to the Eyebeam Mixer party Saturday!!! Sweet! So come out if you can and support this great organization! I’m on from 11-Midnight. Info below!

NYC’s #1 art party is back!
Eyebeam’s warehouse space comes alive with the audience becoming an integral
part of the performance

About Mixer
MIXER, Eyebeam’s quarterly event series dedicated to showcasing leading artists in the fields of live audiovisual performance, interactive and participatory art, returns on Tuesday, June 16 and Saturday, June 20, 2009. The upcoming event, dubbed MIXER: VERSION, explores various forms of culture hacking—from software and hardware, to media content and infrastructure.
MIXER: VERSION takes its inspiration in part from the creative approaches of dub reggae music in which an original music recording is remixed by various producers, creating new versions that still reference the original. Within this creative exchange between producers there exists both a competitive spirit and a sense of shared culture.
At MIXER: VERSION, the competition and collaboration take place between the artists and audience through the artwork. Participants can jam on the “rock stage” with hacked iPods, sing ridiculous computer-generated lyrics in the Fever Karaoke room, or produce their own hot audiovisual mixes on the mobile Sansystem. All of that creative magic gets mixed together by our own crack DJs and VJs, so at any given time you might be providing the entertainment for everyone at the party!
