London Drum and Bass artists DJ Profile and MC Funsta will be performing tonight live at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar. The tandem are both well respected individually in the DnB scene and together they will be one heavy hitting act. Stopping off in Buffalo by way of NYC then off to Toronto tomorrow, the duo have just two more North American shows before heading back over the Atlantic to the UK. See below what MC Fun the Funsta posted on his Facebook wall this morning about playing in Buffalo tonight.
There will be an $8 cover at the door and only 21+ will be admitted. The show will begin around 10pm and will also feature DJs FLEX, KILLSOUND, JOS3, ALLDAY, and ALPHA FLIGHT KREW of Fort Erie, who I'm fairly certain spells their name with a "K" contrary to the flier.
Tonight, two of the most prolific Drum and Bass DJs will team up for a show of epic proportions at the Town Ballroom. Thirteen years ago, AK1200 (Dave Minner) and Dara (Darragh Guilfoyle) joined forces with Dieselboy and MC Messinian to make the DnB supergroup Planet of the Drums. The idea was to earn respect for the style and to move Drum and Bass to the main stage. In 2009, Planet of the Drums went on their 10th anniversary tour, and was determined to be the longest-running annual national Electronic Dance Music tour ever. Then in 2010, they switched to one-off shows and appearances at major festivals, but the legacy of that journey lives on. AK1200 and Dara have embarked on this current tour to keep that dream alive.
The Town Ballroom is prepped for an influx of junglists and fans coming out of the woodwork to resurrect the relics of a music that has thankfully remained underground and in our hearts.
In lieu of diversity for musical preferences, tonight's party features another room focusing on a mixture of other Dance music styles. The show boasts a late cutoff time, a rarity for the Ballroom. Many other very talented artists will be playing in support including DJ Flex of Rochester, Alpha Flight Krew of Fort Erie, and Paul Kuenzi of Buffalo. For a full list of the artists and set times, visit the Facebook event page HERE. The event is All Ages. Tickets are $20 pre-sale and $25 at the door. Show time is 9pm-2am. This event is presented by Buffalo DnB and La Selva in association with MNM Presents.
Saint Patrick's Day weekend-the best excuse to get drunk that Buffalonians have. Admittedly my favorite, and only "drinking" holiday that I'll accept in context. Aside from the Irish parties there are some happenings on the dancefloor that you should know about beginning with a Drum and Bass party tonight in the heights...

DNIPRO UKRAINIAN CENTER
563 genesee st. Buffalo, NY
Shamrock Shakedown was one of the parties last year at Dnipro that got people more familiar with that space as a party spot. This year the party features CJ MILLI who is one of the top female DJ/Producers in the country. There's also a bunch of DJs and tandem artists on this bill that I have never heard of before, but am quite intrigued about seeing. There's four rooms and massive sound promoted, so if you're looking to party on Saturday night, this is where it will be.
Also going on this weekend is EXCISION performing live at Rapids Theater in Niagara Falls on Friday night. Excision, being as popular as he is actually has a strong following in this region. Every show he's played here has been well attended.
Let’s get weird this weekend in Buffalo! There are plenty of cool parties if you wanna get your swerve on and shake tail on the dancefloor. We got rising star coming through on Friday, A slammin’ new party at a fresh venue on Saturday, and a DnB underground legend next week at B-Joe’s
Here’s a little more on what I think will be on-point this week:

3051 main st. Buffalo, NY KENNY KEN got famous for playing clubs in London, and never really started producing music until after his notoriety spread primarily by word-of-mouth.
For all time be safe your partying endeavors. Stupid behavior is not acceptable. Much Love
The whole world is building up to a climax for another year change. It's going to be 2013! This year there has been too much to remember, not many things we'd like to remember. Many things happened and didn't happen that help us to actualize our own humanity.
The best thing to do at this time of year is to reflect and learn from what has passed, so that we can grow further into the future.
If anyone has any energy left there are some pretty sweet parties going on this weekend!

Also going on this weekend that isn't necessarily for TDMR, but that I would recommend is CITY OF NIGHT on Saturday at Silo City. Signature Buffalo mixed media event featuring incredible Art Installations by really talented individuals in a unique location that is ingrained in our City's collective history! Pun intended.
For a night-cap on Saturday, you may want to hit up Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar at 253 allen st. where Greg Howze, the artist formerly known as Twist will be spinning along with the Night-Owls DJs that appear there every Saturday. Much Love.
