Saturday: VISIONS w./ DJ DONNA SUMMER (Jason Forrest!), DEV/NULL, CORALCOLA + DAVID DAY!

For years and years now, DJ DONNA SUMMER aka JASON FORREST has been a transcontinental household name in more styles and subgenres of electronic music than it is worth listing. Whether it was his 2005 block-rocker "War Photography", the truly dizzying "My 36 Favorite Punk Songs" novelty track, or the more recent electro club bangers he's been producing on the NIGHTSHIFTERS label, you've probably heard the COCK ROCK DISCO founder tear up the laptop at some point or another. This Saturday, don't miss the opportunity to see him reunited with Boston's own CRD alum (and producer of my favorite local 12" of 2010), DEV/NULL!!!



DJ DONNA SUMMER

Local institutions CORALCOLA (whose soon-to-be-released new record will probably give Dev/Null's a run for its money) and DAVID DAY will top off an amazing evening at GOOD LIFE, 28 Kingston Street in tundra-esque Downtown Boston. ALL FOR A MEASLY FIVE BONES!!!

Tuesday, October 19th: Matthew Dear, Andre Obin, Coralcola and Volvox!

During that all that luxurious and plentiful free time I'm sure MATTHEW DEAR has at his disposal (that is, when he's not running two record labels, crafting epic sets for all your favorite podcasts and  remixing all your favorite bands), the GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL and SPECTRE SOUND honcho has somehow managed to eke out four increasingly-singular albums of deep, minimal electronic dance music. Apparently bored with all that slacking off, he's decided to embark on an exhaustive tour, which will be stopping off in Allston towne to perform with a trio of Boston's freshest electronic tastemakers.

MATTHEW DEAR 

Endless Wave frontman ANDRE OBIN has a textured, shoegaze-influenced take on laid-back technopop which will be the perfect segue into Matthew Dear after CORALCOLA sets us all adrift on a sea of his glitchy, ambient dreamtunage. If one were to read this blog end to end, there is no doubt that it is Mikey "Coralcola" Lee whose events come up most disturbingly often. Mikey opened for Mount Kimbie last week and played a set of almost-entirely-brand-new jammy jams that got me all tingly in ways that assure my practice of over-covering his appearances will continue unabated well into 2011! One of those tracks is available now on the internets, so I'll just let y'all listen for yourselves...

CORALCOLA - Moistests Weathers


VOLVOX

I'm sure you will all show up to Great Scott promptly and READY TO DANCE, because this will be packed early and VOLVOX is spinning. I'm sure you've seen her at MAKE IT NEW, or HARUM SCARUM, or VISIONS, or NO TOMORROW, or in so-and-so's basement, or opening for DEADMAU5, or probably somewhere right now... So you're familiar with the way those little inflections of darker ebm and industrial beat can peak out of that minimal house and techno sheen... and you know that you can't deny them...

Dubstep's seasoned vet and upstart rookies take the Hub by storm!

On September 24th, Bassic will be playing host to one of the true originators of Dubstep and one of its most consistently-gamechanging recording artists, Hotflush records honcho SCUBA!


SCUBA

His "Triangulation" LP was undoubtedly one of the year's masterpieces. In fact, one of the only better releases of 2010 was "Crooks & Lovers", by Hotflush signees Mount Kimbie... and wouldn't you know it, the fine folks over at Music Ecology have Kimbie stopping over for a gig with Coralcola at Wonderbar in Allston a mere four days later!


Mount Kimbie

This will be a week to remember for years, and if I were you I'd make it my business to miss neither of these events. Show up early, kiddos!
