The Pierce Arrow Film and Arts Center will be taken over by fashion, art, and performance for one of Buffalo's most anticipated nights out: Mass Appeal. The hollowed out factory feel will house the "hyper-interactive experience" fashion show/fundraiser held by the Elmwood Village Association and producer Erin Habes. Mass Appeal showcases local artists and designers, promoting our city and the pleasantry and awe-inspiring homegrown talents. Special features, such as an interactive wall displaying Mass Appeal tagged tweets, will add to the hustle-and-bustle vibe. Buffalo, a city of movers and shakers, has been on an ever increasing up-trend. Mass Appeal's theme is to "Just Push Go!"

Remember all of those great, reoccurring dance parties that used to be sprinkled over the city? Parties like Shock & Awe, Communist Party, and Friction? Yeah we do too, and we miss them. So we thought of starting up a dance party series of our own, and lucky for us, we have been given a great opportunity to launch. The fine folks over at the Elmwood Village Association and Mass Appeal have asked the blog to curate an after party to the annual fashion show/fundraiser set to go down at the Pierce Arrow Building (1685 Elmwood Avenue) on Saturday, November 23rd.

The first edition of Heavy Rotation will feature sets from some of Western NY's best DJs including Medison NY, ABC DJ, Rochester synth duo Crushes, and blog party vets Cultr Club.  Full event details for Mass Appeal can be found at the show's event page. Heavy Rotation will kick off at 10pm sharp and will run until 12:30am. Cover is $5, but if you already have purchased Mass Appeal tickets ($35/$125), then you are good to go.

Check out an exclusive mix below from David Lee Rad, one half of Crushes, for a taste of what is in store at Heavy Rotation.

Jesse Boykins III comes to school us on World Soul with the Red Bull Music Academy: Session Buffalo tonight at Soundlab (110 Pearl St.). A singer-songwriter, his soft R&B croon keeps you anchored to Earth with accessible lyrics about our shared experience on this planet while electro-soul beats and spacey synths attempt to take you away. (Picture Maxwell leaving his Urban Hang Suite in 2012 to make clubs dance.) Bolstered by upstate talent Tim Tones (Rochester), Mario Bee, and ABC DJ, tonight is sure to keep your body moving. 18+ with a $5 cover. Doors at 9.
