New weekly club night opening May 22nd: Escape with special guest DJ from LA!
Posted by: | CommentsThere is a brand new weekly dance event beginning weekly in Sacramento this weekend. ‘Escape’ inside the Fugu Lounge. If you haven’t heard of this venue it may be because it’s not in downtown/midtown like almost everything else. Fugu is actually in Natomas, very close to Arco Arena. On May 22nd the promoters of this all-new weekly bring us DJ Heavygrinder from LA, a very special guest (and expensive booking we assume) for the grand opening. A bit of a celeb DJ of sorts but not in the talent/music department where she puts those fake “celeb” deejays to shame, H.G. is a REAL deejay…
Make a cool drum machine and have social interaction at the same time!

If you own a PC, a webcam, and have access to a printer you could make yourself a cool little DIY hardware step sequencer. The D-Touch Synth and Drum Machine is a software-based, hardware-controlled system where the hardware is absolutely free (you build it with paper, which means no confusing soldering or wires). Just print out the paper control surface, form the cubic control pieces and set up your webcam accordingly. When you move the pieces of paper horizontally or vertically, it changes the timing and other control parameters of your drums and samples…or samples for that matter. Could be a great social interaction tool if someone was looking to get a lot of attention/promotion during second Saturday events here in Sacramento.
Sacramento, please take notice of what clubs could look like. Think outside the box.

Don’t get me wrong, Sacramento has some fun nightclubs to go to. The new Venue (old Empire), Faces, new Badlands, etc. are all great places (sometimes some sound issues), but they all have a pretty safe design visually. Some are new or have undergone major face lifts that look to WOW the patrons, but nothing comes close to the visual appeal of the new ‘Sound’ in Phuket.
Setting up a home studio and want it to look Sexy?

The computer of tomorrow is here today! It’s really, really…well, it’s what I want to look at for inspiration when I sit down to make a track or do some mastering. Yes, it might not be the most practical piece of hardware in terms of cost, but the loveliness alone is worth its weight in gold.
A special shout out to our fam @ MXD Ent and Mixture!

Anyone know the scoop on this whole Azukar vs Kim Kardashian thing???
Posted by: | CommentsI can only imagine that Azukar, a club that has been known recently to shell out big $$$ to get celeb performers in the house, didn’t actually print up all those flyers and other promo if they though they didn’t actually have the beautiful (in my opinion) Kim booked for their event. They’ve also produced copies of a contract and claim they made a full $5,000 down payment for the appearance, who are we to say they are lying?
Any readers have the real scoop? This has become a pretty big story and was actually the lead story on the evening news for more than one Sacramento news station last week. While I think that is hilarious, people obviously want to know, and I’m a bit curious as well…
It is pretty sad that this is such a big story here in Sacramento, both for the city as a whole and our nightlife, but since it is we’re going to cover it. That is, after all, what we’re here for! Revival Nitelife, for party info, guestlists, music, deejays, and now apparently, parties that are not happening. haha
Kontrol with THE ORB????? It’s true!

That is right, not only is Orbital coming to San Francisco this month but Thomas Fehlmann of THE ORB is playing at the best monthly event in Northern California, [KONTROL] @ the End Up, tonight (April 3rd, 2010). It’s really weird to me, having half of The Orb playing in SF for what must be the first time in well over a decade (Gathering???) , and having it be a deejay set at Kontrol no less. I don’t know if Thomas is touring to promote his amazing new artist album or Kontrol just pulled out all the stop to make this booking happen but I can’t wait, another long night/morning with Kontrol on that End Up soundsystem!!! With The Orb no less!!!!
Take notice Sacramento clubs! No, we’re not expecting a booking like Thomas Fehlmann, but some nice and innovative club nights in the capital city would be nice.

It’s been a long time coming, and thank God the time has come, as the amazing electronic duo Orbital is about to put on a great show before their Coachella outing. Coming this April 16th Orbital will be at the Warfield in San Francisco!
It’s going to be a great show at a fantastic up close and personal venue!
