I Love Techno - Feb. 25th @ Brillobox

EARTHLY DELIGHTS FEBRUARY 25th =100% PURE TECHNO

It's techno time. Cold February, dark nights and banging beats. So I invited my two favorite Pittsburgh techno purveyors to join me for a night of pure, unadulterated techno...

SHAWN RUDIMAN (technoir audio) - Pittsburgh's legendary producer/live PA wizard. If you don't know Shawn's music, you need to. If you think you don't like techno, you need to hear Shawn do it live. When I heard him play at a big outdoor rave in 1999, I knew I would forever be a fan of that 4 to the floor electronic madness.

JWAN ALLEN (technoir audio) - A damn sexy deejay. His sets of techno are melodic, lush, slamming and somehow both gritty and classy. I don't know how to describe his music any better. Jwan's a rare treat.

and the resident woofer-wrecker:

JAMES GYRE (earthly delights) - Yours truly. I'll be playing on the fringes of Jwan and Shawn's sounds. Bits of minimal techno, dub techno and straight up jacking techno. BANG BANG BANG.

Resident D.J. James Gyre with Keeb$, Temisan Adoki, Nice Rec & Bartholomew Dylan

Seriously... this party will be beautiful. Keeb$ (stackinpaper.com, lazer crunk, fuzz) and I have been conniving secret new year's plans for months. For starters we're starting early with a potluck and cocktail reception. We'll be providing some appetizers and are encouraging people who want to eat before they drink to bring some food to share. Bartholomew Dylan's esoteric sounds & Nice Rec's deep vinyl crates of funk & soul will accompany our feasting. I'm planning on whipping up a batch of winter sangria... a spiced white wine concoction that's been received well at previous new year's events... All night we'll have a private photo booth available so you can get shot in your stunning black & white outfits. We're also transforming the Brillobox with art and installations.

After feasting Temisan Adoki, Pittsburgh's under-sung hero of the esoteric d.j. set will start the dance. He plays everything... expect techno, baile funk, electro, hip hop, b-more, wobble and classic detroit and chicago tracks. His set at Lazer Crunk this year was one of my favorite sets of the year, hands down. Then for the ball drop Keeb$ and I will blow the roof off. I've already pulled so many awesome tunes for that set. We'll have some custom, one-time only audio for the night, too! That last two hours will be dance mayhem... start 2010 by shaking your ass with us!

November 13th (Friday the 13th!) - The Party Liberation Front!

this will be a really fun Earthly Delights.

It's close to my birthday, so i've brought in some of my favorite musicians to play for us...

PLF!

the party liberation front, for those of you that don't go to burning man or a lot of regional burns, are one of the finest crews of festival music out there. they bring infinite good vibes, good tracks and are some of my favorite people. For this event we'll have Mr. Jennings and The Reinhold of PLF up from richmond to bless the speakers. Mr. Dug (of Pgh) is going to start out the night with me playing some non-bass musics for us to get our breath before the bass. Mr. Jennings and I share a love for twerked-out bass madness, so we'll be tag-teaming for much of the dance... The Reinhold plays a bouncy and crowd-pleasing set of minimal techno/electro and he'll be closing the night for us.

these people are gems. i love waking up in the morning at their camp and playing tabla music for breakfast while the hula hoops spin and people clean up from the late-night partiers. the vegan chili gets busted out and people of all stripes take their turns on the stripper pole. as the day goes on the bass gets iller and people start spinning shit while it's lit on fire. the sounds pump out of their covered-wagon soundsystem all night, with a real diverse and talented line-up of deejays. I've never done a festival with PLF where the party didn't gravitate, night after night, to our part of the woods. which makes me so happy to share their vibe with all of you (god i feel like such a raver right now!)

come to this party people... give them a warm, pittsburgh welcome!

a secret after-party will be held where things will, indeed, be lit. on. fire. talk to me in private if you think you're into that.
