Riton is one of the most talented and multi-faceted DJs to emerge from the UK of late. He's remixed everyone from Hercules & Love Affair (their next single) to The Cure, to Holy Fuck and er... Justin Timberlake. He's released original material on Get Physical and Astralwerks. A DJ who avoids the limelight but can hold his own and out-do many of his contemporaries in the techno and electro world he comes to NY for the first time to play a special DJ set for us at FUN.

Zombie Nation aka Florian Senfter is responsible for the mightly Kernkraft 400 and also some of the best electro and techno of the past 10 years including his recent ZZT productions with Tiga. In a market saturated with cheap beats and imitations this guy continues to produce the best sounds in his class.

Poni Hoax are a five man army of bookworm musicians and extremely talented composers whose sound is heavily influenced by Italo Disco while their asethetic, particularly that of front man, Nicolas Ker walks a thin line between Morrissey and Jim Morrisson. Signed to Tigersushi and produced by Joakim these guys are set for bigger things as they support Franz Ferdinand on their return to the fore later this year, and release a much hyped sophomore long player.

And they're all playing at FUN at Studio B on Saturday July 5th!

ROK & KRAMES' Time Machine remix on DISCOBELLE!

TIME MACHINE: THE GROOVE THAT JUST DON'T STOP
(ROK & KRAMES CHI-TALO* REMIX)
NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON WWW.DISCOBELLE.NET

I am pleased to announce that Discobelle has posted the Time Machine remix that I made with Cobra Krames. Krames is an extremely talented DJ and producer who is killing it right now with his "Cracker Jackin' EP" and his soon to be released Name Ribbon mix "Get Familiar". Time Machine are a forward thinking Dance Rap trio who currently reside in Los Angeles. Their new single "Something We're Becoming ft. Maggie Horn" b/w "The Groove That Just Won't Stop" has been getting some serious blog love and DJ spins, and touted by the likes of Diplo. Be on the lookout for their forthcoming album “Life Is Expensive”.

BANGERS MIXES - NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC!

Here are some recently uploaded Bangers mixes from the last 3 years... Enjoy!


DJ JACLYN: THE ALL GIRL MIX (2007)


Photobucket

All female artists, all quality jams. Some real surprises here. The Bangerette definitely throws the listener a curveball on this one...

THE BANGATRON (2006)


Photobucket

This is an all electronic mix which spans many different genres, from house, to techno, to italo disco, to synth pop, to industrial, to classic and contemporary electro...

PURPLE REIGN: PRINCE VS. DIPSET (2006)


Photobucket

A conceptual mix-cd, along the same lines as Dangermouse's "Grey Album". Received coverage in Billboard and Vice magazines. This would be our last mash-up offering, as the genre was rapidly becoming more stale with each passing day...

THE BANGATHON (2005)


Photobucket

Our first party mix and a best seller at Turntable Lab. Recorded at the height of mash-up fever, and heavy on the 80's classics, this mix would set the template for what The Bangers would become known for stylistically. Includes white label versions of M.I.A.'s "10 Dollar" and Justice Vs. Simian's "We Are Your Friends", over a full year before the general public caught on... Take that hipsters!

MODESELEKTOR, JJAK HOGAN, T&B DJS - MARCH 21ST.


Modeselektor are Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (two pretty awesome names eh?). They're signed to Ellen Allien's Bpitch Control imprint and they've had Thom Yorke guest on their latest record . They play utterly thrilling and refreshing dance music which touches upon techno, hip-hop, dub and glitch and they throw a great live show. They will take you deep and they'll make you sweaty. So come prepared.

Georgian outfit Jjak Hogan, who have released records on the wonderful
Rekids label will be playing a live set in support, and our friends Star Eyes and Mathhead from Trouble & Bass will be joining FUN residents Eamon Harkin and Rok One in the booth.

Hosted by Enabler..

SHIR KAHN, JAHCOOZI, 410 PHARAOHS AT KNITTING FACTORY - FRIDAY MARCH 14TH

Jahcoozi are a band who were given their first exposure from the one and only John Peel. Since then their unique concoction of glitch, grime, maximal techno and pop melodies have gained fans such as Ewan Pearson and Ellen Allien both who have included their tracks in recent DJ mix compilations. To date they've have limited exposure in the US so we're very excited to be bringing them in to play at FUN this Friday.

Shir Kahn is one of Berlin's hardest working DJs. He's studied, eclectic, experimental yet accessible all at once, a feat which now sees him mentioned in the same breathe as Optimo, Soulwax and The Glimmers. Last year he supported Justice and LCD Soundsytem. This year he brings his trade to the US for the first time playing FUN for his only NY date.

In the spirit of adventure and embracing new things we're continuing to work with new spaces so this Friday's edition of the party will be held at the Knitting Factory in Tribeca, but fear we'll be back at base camp (Studio B) for some exciting upcoming events...

FUN meets Robot Rock. Presenting Blonde Acid Cult.

This Friday FUN takes it's operation outside the Studio B mother ship for the first time, and crosses the East River to team up with GBH's Robot Rock party at new hot spot Le Royale in Manhattan.

Playing live will be the band which the NME have described as "The most exciting band to come out of NY in 5 years". Blonde Acid Cult's inspirations clearly sit with early 90's outfits like Primal Scream, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and The Inspiral Carpets. They're steadily building a reputation for their live show so we're expecting special things from them this Friday and at least a little dose of a Hacienda vibe to proceedings.

FUN residents Rok One and Eamon Harkin will DJing with GBH staples Alex English and Dimitry.

There is no cover for this party if you rsvp to
list@gbh.tv
Le Royale : 21 7th Ave South at Leroy (two blocks north of Houston) . Doors 10pm. 21+ w/I.D
