This Friday’s edition of the Space Cakes party at Hugs (108 N.6th, BKLYN) is going to be a big one. Residents Nick Catchdubs and Rezound are joined by the inimitable Eli Escobar and some “surprise” FG guests. Lets just call them…Soakers Of The Jeans, and one half of the Burrito Rubbers. Why not? BE THERE!
Like we mentioned earlier, the NYC kickoff for the Treasure Fingers / Kill The Noise “School’s Out Forever” tour this Wednesday (5/13) is gonna be a special one – it’s doubling as the launch party for Contagious Musiq’s NYC branch, and will feature special guest appearances by Jokers Of The Scene and FG extended familia Craze, Klever and DJ Ayres, along with the Fun DJs Eamon Harkin and Rok One. Come on out to Love (there’s bass in them there walls) and catch something!
We thought the only maple leaf news this week was gonna be A-Trak winning a Justo Award for Best Canadian Mixtape DJ. BUUUT NOOOOO! Jokers of the Scene just hit us with this flyer for their monthly Disorganised party. This Friday’s edition (5/2) features their FG labelmates Nacho Lovers as special DJ guests. Expect lots of exclusives, techno (of the minimal and maximal variety), and songs written by Armand. Did we mention techno? Joy! Read More
