Last week’s Drum Machine report was basically a rant about the worth of experience and performance energy. To the enjoyment of a refined crowd at Soundlab on Saturday night, Blockhead displayed these characteristics in professional fashion. His performance was not flashy. He used no elaborate equipment spare an audio interface and laptop. This was a make-up show. Of course there was less hype. Blockhead could have mailed it in. He did not. The performance was a well executed set or his own songs mixed with recognizable Hip-Hop bass lines pulling in every direction. Even the encore was cool despite it being three separate songs; the crowd got to vote between a NEW song, a MELODIC song, or a CRAZY song. Needless to say, he played all three. In other news, the buzzworthy FIELD DAY 2012 the all-day Allen st. takeover that has been in the works from the QCC for the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend has been officially announced. And boy oh boy am I excited, because, on a personal note, my one of absolute favorite DJ/Producers in the whole world is headlining the event! MUNCHI. The other choice headliners include other Moombahton stars David Heartbreak and Jon Kwest. Brooklyn favorite Cobra Krames, and Sines from Texas. You should check out Sines right now, some serious trap beats! The event will be an all day ting featuring an enormous lineup of local and regional talent.
Also that weekend and just announced yesterday, Alexi Delano will headline CAPSIZED! BOAT CRUISE 2012 v.1 from MNM presents.

Allen Aucoin, DrFameus, the drummer for The Disco Biscuits returns to Duke’s Bohemian Grove Bar this Friday night. A live performance of Dance music styles on drums and e-drums. Allen is a machine. Apparently his nickname is the robot, though I’ve never heard him called that and I am plenty “in” Disco Biscuits circles. He is certainly a sight to see, having seen him play as DrFameus several times I would highly recommend checking out this surefire energetic performance. Also on the bill will be specialty DJ and Rochester-Buffalo go-between, Perceptor.
