As per usual, I’ll be at the Enormous Room tonight pursuing a little low-end theory, aka Beat Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My dear colleague, DJ Flack<\/a> will not be there, however, as the good doctor is taking in some well-earned r&r on the heels of his trip to Australia<\/a> —<\/p>\n


\n<\/a><\/p>\n

— indeed, a product of that there trip downunder is a new bracing, bouncy mix by Flack, originally premiered at Void<\/a>, a local dubstep|grime|IDM session (!?!). Go git the non-YouTube version!<\/p>\n

Flack won’t be there tonight, but I’m happy to report that 5dots<\/a> will. Hailing from the DC area, 5dots (aka Craig) is the guy who handed me a CD of homespun beats that bristled & banged<\/a> at the Future of Music summit a couple yrs ago. He & his mate Alex concoct mixes<\/a> as Serious DJs<\/a>, spanning jungle, hip-hop, pop, & elecctronnikka, and have put together a couple original screw<\/a> sets to boot. <\/p>\n

Apparently, when the Serious boys were in town last summer, their screwy music was not well received. (I, alas, was home with a wicked cold.) Craig says he won’t play<\/a> any screw this time. Unless he’s asked. Well, I’ve already asked him, so consider yourself warned. Nothing like some slow, syrupy sounds on these sluggish summer nights. <\/p>\n

I’m gonna take adventure of the vibe-coincide and finally cook down some rebajadas<\/a> of my own. <\/p>\n

Screw the world<\/a>, I say.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

But allow me to close by noting that next week will see the return to the Enormous Room decks of Beat Research co-founder, DJ C<\/a>. Not only is it always great to have Jake around (since we changed places, he off to Chicago for a while), it’s especially exciting as next week’s Beat Research session will also serve as the Boston-area release party for his new (debut!) album, Sonic Weapons<\/a>. Japan’s Wimm Recordings is releasing the album, and I’m excited to disclose that I make an appearance via DJ C’s raggafied remix of “A It Dat<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

Many readers here are no doubt acquainted with the sonic weaponry of DJ C. He’s been rocking parties from Boston<\/a> to Berlin<\/a> for years now and is a founding member of the famed Toneburst Collective<\/a>. I’ve been srsly digging his beats for a while now, constantly impressed with how Jake puts his distinctive stamp on so many styles — never mind cooking up a few of his own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So let me say this: you want to get ahold of this album. It will kill dancefloors everywhere. It’s loaded with creative, interesting, and very danceworthy music. It’s a labor of love. & you’ll be supporting an artist who deserves the support. <\/p>\n

You can get it via Amazon<\/a>, Forced Exposure<\/a>, and many other<\/a> fine retailers.<\/p>\n
