The Drum Machine Report

This blog post is an vehicle to reach-out to the readers of buffaBLOG who like Electronic and Dance music. The Drum Machine Report is a preview of events and commentary about things involving EDM and Buffalo. Many times I’ve chilled up here on my high-horse and used this opportunity to express my opinions about genre nomenclature and respecting others taste in music, and I implore you to allow me to do so right now. I overheard a young gentleman inquiring of a group of younger gentlemen if they had ever heard of “trap” music. They kind of seemed dumbfounded so the first man listed of some examples of music they may have heard of, Bassnectar? Excision? Diplo? Drop Rari? What! What is that? You can’t do that! I’ll grant that he wasn’t particularly categorizing these all as being “trap” necessarily, but THIS is my problem. I understand that he was just being nice and trying to connect something recognizable for the kids, but this is why young people say Skrillex is Dubstep and Deadmau5 is House. Why must these constrictors be shackled on to on an artist by people and media? I hate genre names, yet they are a necessary evil. For example Two Fresh is playing tonight at Duke’s, how would you describe them? Hip-Hop? Electronica? Trap-House? I don’t fucking know! I definitely wouldn’t have described them as Trap-House when I saw them three years ago at Camp Bisco! I would’ve said they were Hip-Hop fusion, and I would have been wrong, because it doesn’t fucking matter! If you like a certain kind of music than you like it. It does not matter what other people call it or how you describe it to them--even if you love Skrillex (sorry Sonny you’re always my go-to). I’ll come down now and just humbly ask everyone reading to respect music and how everyone chooses to appreciate it.

Well shit. Now let’s tell you about what’s going on this weekend.

thursday 1/24
mnm presents with toats orig present: two fresh
9p
$10/21+
DUKE'S BOHEMIAN GROVE BAR

OHM ULTRA LOUNGE
948 main st. Buffalo, NY
Frosty Tone presents N-TYPE. This is a big wan for all the Dubsteppers. Among those in the UK Dubstep scene from eight years ago this lad is respected by the best and loved by the fans. He played the famous Fabric Nightclub in London less than a week ago and is playing here at OHM on Saturday--Yup. So show the respect if you like-a the Dubstep and underground Bass music.

There are a few other events continuing this weekend that are worth mentioning that may be for your tates including: Toats Orig--Anything Goes at Sinful Nightclub on Saturday hosted by Buzz Trillington and Shooter McNappin and also The Guestlist Party on Friday featuring DJ D-Star at Nektar. Also Saturday night is the NDRGRND party by Igloo Music at a location yet to be disclosed! This party is going to have two rooms featuring many styles of House and Dance music for an epic all-night rager, but if you don't have a ticket you're probably out of luck as this word-of-mouth party sold-out. Happy and safe partying to all and thank you for respecting each other. Much Love.

The Drum Machine Report

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!

The Drum Machine Report

The music never stopped. It never will. No matter what humanity will face, music is an essential part of our being. People will carry on their musical traditions into the next age, regardless of medium. Without computers and xlr cable, dance lovers will have to get down with jaw-harps and jug bands, but as long as there is electricity we will continue to light up the night with flashy melodies and big time basslines. Let whatever future hold on to the heart driving rhythms of composed electronic music.

Music in 2012 returned to a raw emotional state. Lyrically and musically this year has been about making less, more. Personally I am enamoured with "best-of" lists because it makes one appreciate that quintessentially, music is about diversity, and to experience everyone's diverse opinions and ratings is fascinating!

This weekend in Buffalo there are several danceparties going on that are worth checking out:

friday12/14
10p-4a
21+
SINFUL
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
Just the fact that BAD BOY BILL is playing in a small club in Buffalo tomorrow night is simply amazing. What's more, is that it's only 10 bones! Bad Boy Bill is one of the most well known names in Dance/Electonica music, partly because he co-founded Beatport, but more importantly because he has been one of the most influential DJ/Producers after the rave generation. Tomorrow night get ready for an amazing Electro-House dance extravaganza that is sure to make you scream. You won't want to miss it when he takes the stage tomorrow night. Local support from ANGELO PETRUCCI, NIK STYLEZ, SUNGLASSES MIKE, and BELOVED.


10p-4a
$5/21+
OHM ULTRA LOUNGE
948 main st. Buffalo, NY
Proper local show with some heavy hitting talents. This show tomorrow night features BIG BASHA and LOKI doing a back-to-back set for 2 hrs. If you're any fan of one and/or the other this should be one hell of a throw down. Let's hope they get this on tape! Check out Basha's latest promo mix below. Also on the bill are POTENT J, NECKBRACE, SQUINTS, and ALLDAY.

The Drum Machine Report

*Ding Ding* Sounds the bell for another round of fun times this weekend here in the fair Queen City. The annual Music is Art Festival is on Saturday. This celebration of local music is a cornerstone event for showcasing some of Buffalo's best bred talent. Despite opinions of the event's organizational shortcomings, the music, in earnest, is the focal point of the festival. Music is Art reminds us of the artistic creativity that goes into the making and presenting of live music. There are plenty of acts that fall into the realm of Electronic and Dance, so definitely go and check out some of the acts that have worked incredibly hard for your entertainment.

Plenty of other shindigs are available this weekend for filling the desire to dance and party. Here are some of the highlights.

thursday 9/13

350 ellicott st. Buffalo, NY

SINFUL
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
After Music is Art prepare to dance the night away at Sinful nightclub. Off the beaten path Sinful is kind of a welcome change if you're looking to get down at the club. Though every event there has to have loaded-in sound, the spaciousness and the newness of the place is a definitive advantage. This edition of EVOLve will feature RYLL and BOOTS BOOGIE coming down from Tdot along with PETER PIZZUTELLI, DAHA GREEN, and GREG HOWZE. Get ready to get wavy as this party will go late into the night and the beats will last all the way 'til the end.

SOUNDLAB

You just may need this kind of release on Sunday night if you are a Bills fan. Do so with VIBESQUAD and OPIOU who will be blasting through Buffalo on this unique tour presented by Beatport.

The Drum Machine Report

The City of No Illusions shall hide no defect. We are rusty, we are tried. Thus is the nature of Buffalo. That is no reason for those who depart, to do so with such acrimony in their hearts. Be grateful of the thickened skin you’ve attained from braving the economic and social setbacks of our fair City. Everyone who lives here, be it briefly or lifetime, is somehow positively changed by compulsory growth of character.

One thing that I am grateful for is the plethora of local talented musicians here. Be it Bands, DJs, or Do-It Yourselfers there is plenty going on in our music scene on any given night. Thats part of what buffaBLOG is all about, bringing those facts and our opinions to you, our readers. 

With this weekly post, the Drum Machine Report, I can only hope to tell you about the Dance Parties and Shindigs that are going on any given week, and to help expose the local Artists, Musicians, Promoters, and the Businesses involved. Many of whom are very talented and gracious individuals. 

We’ve truly reached the dog days of summer, and when humans start to act like dogs they get goofy and itchy. Salt & Pepa kick off an energetic weekend of music at the harbor tonight, and theres some interesting things going on in the Dance music scene at some cool venues. Take a look below:

friday 8/17
9p-3a
21+
THE SIDEBAR
1459 hertel ave. Buffalo, NY
Heading up to North Buffalo on Friday night? The Sidebar will be a cool hangout as it usually is, but on this night will be bumpin' with performances from some local Buffalo DJs. Three of which I've never heard of before DJ ZONG, who has a hilarious name, and ALEX VLUAJ and BRANDON VULAJ, whom I can only assume are brothers. Also taking the vibe to many different places will be three performers that are on fire right now, RUFUS GIBSON, MIOSI, and PAUL KEUNZI. Check out some of their recent stuff below. Saturday head to the Hertel strip to see it live and in a cool setting.

 
 Rufus Gibson Artvoice Mix by Rufus Gibson 
 Paul Kuenzi - Live @ Late & Dip - Oasis (Toronto) 8.5.2012 by Paul Kuenzi 

saturday 8/18
10p-4a
$5/21+
SINFUL
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
On Saturday check out the sheik vibe going on over at Buffalo's off-the-radar nightclub Sinful. The EVOLve party picks up again this weekend and is taking place after a Fashion Show presented by the venue earlier that evening. Swank. Something that I have been hopefully anticipating is seemingly coming to fruition here in Buffalo. That is a movement of nightclub owners to reserve nights for the "Not Top-40" Dance scene, and what's more is that it's at a club not on Chippewa st. A nightclub where one can enjoy a clean vodka drink on a couch fancier than their pants. Similarly to Rendezvous, this club has a compacted big-city feel. Another thing I have been anticipating is the return of OONASLIM to Buffalo! Oona has traveled all over the world perfecting her crafts of DJ and artistry. In performance, she fingers through different music as though she was tickling the listeners pineal gland. Taking her audience to nearly hallucinogenic heights and creating danceable dimensions unknown to the human mind. She is not to be missed, and in a posh nightclub it will be interesting to see how the music and listener evolve together. In support will be DJs JUST DUBBS, PAUL KUENZI, CHRISTIAN DHARMA, and GENE LINET. Listen below to the mix Oona did for Beatport earlier this year.


10p-4a
$5/21+
OHM ULTRA LOUNGE
948 main st. Buffalo, NY
For those who want some Bass music with substance you should check out Frosty Tone's new Saturday ting over at Ohm Ultra Lounge on the corner of Allen and Main. The crew at Frosty Tone is rolling out the OG vibe and in a new home. The Ultra Lounge has a club like feel with a seedy kind of film over everything; a negative that is accepted for the savvy Buffalo night lovers. Expect a healthy mix of Dubstep, Drum n Bass, and House from TEMPERS ROUGE, DROP D, NECKBRACE, DA BUTCHA, DEMI GOD, PERCEPTOR, LOKI, and BIG BASHA.

Happy Trails Buffalo, enjoy yourselves safely this weekend. Much Love.

Wheels of change in Buffalo are turning. The artists are getting antsy. People are pushing the creative mind to a tipping point. Recognition for the hard work of many is lacking. Let me voice thanks to all those grinding hard; the ones who are pushing their craft further and using the city as a backdrop. I see you. We need you to keep at it.
This weekend’s got two awesome dance parties, and both are in notable locations, check it out below

saturday 7/21
frosty tone
SUBSTANCE

9p-3a
$5/21+
OHM ULTRA LOUNGE
948 main st. Buffalo, NY
Back at home at OHM, well kinda, the formerly Miss Kitty's version of OHM. Which never looks awful when walking, riding by. Frosty Tone as is it's signature is keeping it real, brining you Substance. Check out the crew brining you quality Dubstep, Garage, House, and Drum and Bass. The night will feature a lineup of DEMI GOD, THE VERDICT, LACQUA, ROLA!, POTENT J, and BIG BASHA. Check out some no-nonsense bass music on Saturday night.


EVOLve
featuring Ticky Ty

10p-4a
$5/21+
SINFUL NIGHTCLUB
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
In that new spot that's become the talk, Sinful Nightclub will host EVOLve. The event will feature Toronto DJ/Producer Ticky Ty. She's kinda got a Progressive/Tribal house thing going on but certainly not limited to that. Playing some of the best rooms in Toronto, she's seasoned to make another performance in Buffalo. Local support will be provided by some classy individuals, PAUL KEUNZI, A-BLOCK (RUFUS GIBSON & KITZ), ED SANTIAGO, and SUNGLASSES MIKE. The newer club is conspicuously located on Delaware near West Tupper.





Thank your local artists, whatever medium they use. Much Love.

The Drum Machine Report


Well the cats out of the bag. Avicii at the First Niagara Center is canceled. Everyone is chiming in with their opinions; why it was wrong to begin with. The idea was flawed, yes. But the effort was there. Buffalo is not Miami. Enough people to “fill” an arena are not going to pay a ton of money up-front to see a guy push play on his own songs. We have a difficult enough task sometimes going out to support the local DJs. Alas, this fodder is inconsequential to Buffalo’s greater attraction to dance music. It quickly becomes an argument involving the ‘big market’ vs. ‘small market,’ which if you’re a fan of local sports, you know all too well.
In other news, Girl Talk got announced to play at a venue that doesn't exist, yet. The Outer Harbor, not to be confused with the Buffalo Place Rocks the Harbor concert series at the Erie Canal site. Remember where that cheesy yet cool outdoor slosh bar ‘The Pier’ was? Well, where it used to be? There's a flat slab of land right there jutting out into the water this side of the break wall that is the intended landing zone for some pretty large happenings, including Girl Talk and Drop Kick Murphys. Seems pretty ambitious to do shows of that magnitude in a space that has yet to be tested.
This weekend’s got some pretty cool stuff going on, so let’s get right into it.
thursday 6/14
LAIDBACK LUKE 
10p-4a
$20/18+
LUX (formerly Pure)
75 w. chippewa st. Buffalo, NY
World renowned house music Producer/DJ LAIDBACK LUKE invades the newly reworked nightclub LUX tonight. Laidback Luke has some of the most famous dance music productions in the last ten years at his disposal, because he created a lot of them! Born in the Philippines and raised in the Netherlands, this worldwide sensation is not something to be missed. Local support will be provided by D-STAR and MCNASTY, with MARIO BEE, SWAGGLEROCK, and MIOSI on the patio.


saturday 6/16
REID SPEED 
10p-4a
$10/18+
SOUNDLAB
110 pearl st. Buffalo, NY
Badass chick REID SPEED, DJ and co-founder of the Play Me record labels will bust out at Soundlab on Saturday night. She specializes in the Bass music styles with a background in DnB. Her rise to notoriety is centered by her mixes that you can’t stop listening to, and her live performances that people can’t get enough of. Regional acts also on the bill that night are HXLY, LOKI, POTENT J, and PAPI CHULO.


EVOLve 
 
9p-4a
$5/21+
SINFUL NIGHTCLUB
334 delaware ave. Buffalo, NY
This night of house music has found a new home in the fairly new, fairly unknown Sinful Nightclub on Delaware near Tupper. Get ready for a night of great House and Techno music from DJs CHUCK ABBOTT, GENE LINET, BOBBY ODDO, SOMOS & VIGNERI, PAUL KUENZI & RYLL, and DISKOMASTER. Dress to impress jerks.



Prepare yourselves for another fine Summer weekend here in the 716. Much Love.
