Photo courtesy of It's ok to sweat on FlickrWhen CMJ comes to town, everyone comes to Jess' apartment as well, including myself now that I've moved out of my Manhattan digs. She should've known I would've been trouble from the moment we first met, dancing onstage at a TTC show with Teki Latex to DJ Assault. Yeah, I don't think your "how I met my co-blogger" story can top that, but I dare you to try. I may have accidentally blown out her electricity and repeatedly tripped over her numerous houseguests but I've done far worse at multi-person sleepovers in this lifetime so count your blessings.
Both Modular parties went off without a hitch (ie. no fire alarm evacuations like the last monthly with Digitalism), guests and performers alike exceeded all expectations (New Young Pony Club's cover of Technotronic is a perfect example) and new favorite fellow intern, Josh, blew us away with his strictly vinyl sets that boasted tunes from Wighnomy Brothers? That's a pleasant first for these gatherings. It was the kind of thing you witnessed and were consequently embarrassed by when you popped onstage to do a short set with a just-burned MP3 CD and Serato.
Cirez D vs. Axwell - Galactic TigerAdmittedly, what I lack in technical skills, I attempt to make up for with song selection when I (and I use term very loosely here) DJ. So here you have my favorite track to play out at the moment, a track I played at the Muscles party, which may come in handy now that everyone's precious internet piracy tool, OiNK, has bitten the dust. It's a clever, white label mash-up of Cirez D's (aka Eric Prydz) tech-house "Tigerstyle" tune from his 2007 Horizons release with The Beastie Boys' space robot anthem "Intergalactic". Go wild.
