Brooklyn’s 33Hz, (who have been rocking NY for a while now with their glossy blend of disco, r&b, electro and hip-hop) will be hosting their record release party and playing a full live show in the basement Studio room on the same night. These guys have a strong following in France – which is probably why the influential French blog Fluokids selected them as one of the first artists to be released on their new record label – Fool House Records. The E.P. is out this month (Jan 20) – and it features two new tracks: ‘I Feel Alive’ and ‘Sentinel of Love’ – with remixes by The Shoes, Boombass of Cassius, Eli Escobar, and a host of other top producers. All this activity comes hot on the heels of 33Hz’s excellent remixes for Duran Duran and The Teenagers – which you can hear on their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/33hz) page.
The Valerie Collective (http://www.myspace.com/valeriejetaime) is not just a music blog - it is a group of like-minded DJs and musicians from West France that fuse authentic 80s synths with modern indie/electronica. Their productions are startling in their consistency, mood and feel; they offer a sense of a time that never existed, but we all somehow understand… a future that once seemed possible. Their ‘80s sci-fi inspired artwork (by The Zonders (http://www.thezonders.com) sums it up nicely. There are several “groups” under the collective including College (http://www.myspace.com/collegeoflove) , Anoraak (http://www.myspace.com/anoraak), Russ Chimes (http://www.myspace.com/russchimes) and Lovelock – all of whom will be performing. This will be their first time in the US - and the buzz is out.
Plus there will be a lot more going on… the indie-hipster Trash! party will be happening downstairs in the Studio and the excellent Alaska in Winter (http://www.myspace.com/alaskainwinter) will be playing an early live set. Dimitry!!! (High Voltage) will be spinning party tunes and classics in the Marlin Room, And you can expect to see JDH and Dave P (of Fixed) opening for the Valerie Collective in the Grand Ballroom. And there will be drinks specials.
