TOWN BALLROOM

681 main st. Buffalo, NY

Tonight DATSIK arrives in Buffalo for a show at the Town Ballroom. He has been getting a lot of attention from the mainstream media as he has embarked on this tour. It's being said that he is a innovative presence in the Dubstep scene. Sadly the American media has tied him with the label of Dubstep. Personally I don't think he makes Dubstep music, he is influenced by Dubstep-and Hip-Hop, but he's more in the realm of BroStep. Datsik is one of the popular American producers that toes the line of being too prevalent. He gained so much notoriety after doing excellent remixes of The Crystal Method, Bassnectar, and MGMT but that wasn't that long ago. Really he hasn't had years of performance experience, but ironically has been on some of the biggest stages in the world! Tonight he'll throw down a lot of great music, so decide for yourself what you think of this top-flight "DJ." by heading over to the Ballroom tonight. In support will be MAYHEM, GETTER, and BONE-LOC (formerly Bones Jones) from Rochester.

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.

The Drum Machine Report

It is not uncommon for an opener to upstage a headlining act. This is happening more frequently, and when it does it's always kind of funny, or pleasantly surprising! Last Saturday at Duke's, HOOGS played right before MISTANOIZE on a Bass-centric bill. Though I'm usually impressed with HOOGS, I have to say I was blown away. The Drum and Bass he was playing transported me back to high-school. If you have never checked out his productions, I would strongly encourage you to do so, because that is one guy who by experience is creating underground music correctly.

This weekend, Buffalo will feature a big-name artist from the UK who is a local fan favorite. A little over a year ago, CASPA took the stage at Town Ballroom and showed our people why he is one of the best! After getting rave reviews from the show last year, MNM Presents is bringing him back for round number 2. Fans of dubstep will converge on the Ballroom tomorrow night for this momentous and hopefully annual occasion; let us as fans of EDM show him our appreciation for his music and the culture in general. For more information and the other events going on this weekend, carry on.

Igloo music has found for the time being a new home for Igloo Music. They were forced to move when MIXology, a budding young bar/club with friendly owners, tragically burned down. Now the Igloo crew will migrate down Elmwood to a very classy place in Nektar. Still the same mature vibes and deep house sounds. this week will feature back-to-back sets from 3PO&RYAN LIDELL, BRANDON CHASE&PAUL KUENZI, and GREG HOWZE&LALKA.

Party safely and responsibly. Much Love!

Wha gwan Saturday night? Classic style Drum N Bass Music featuring MISTANOIZE at Duke's. Along with his performance skills Mistanoize is also the founder of Turntable Pimp, a customization and repair company for DJ equipment. Saturday will focus on turntablism in the world of DnB and Bass music. Most of the music I believe will be all-vinyl sets with supporting performances from some popular acts, including BIG BASHA, HOOGS, EMJAY BIGGZ and emerging artist JON ALL DAY.

The reviews out of Bass Mountain were all beaming. Many attendees said that they were extremely impressed by the live performance of Shiftee. Many accolades to all of the producers and performers involved.

Recently announced was the return of Caspa to the Town Ballroom on Friday March 8th, which is rapidly approaching. Last year’s show was incredible, and a man of his caliber is not something to miss.

Plenty of things going on this weekend as far as dance music goes. Things kick off tonight with an artist on Mad Decent and one on Deep Medi Musik each at different Allentown venues.

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.

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

Like the air temperature this winter, the climate of collective consciousness is constantly fluctuating in Buffalo. Us positivists are constantly shielding a barrage of bitterness and negativity grown out of many years of hardship and loss. Alas, we are the weight to balance these ideas, the youthful minds who will soon take over this city and lift it forward into the future! The work of change is never-ending, and only willing will rise up.

With the new year comes new happenings. It is a blessing to have some fresh things going on with a couple of new events happening this Friday. The Drum Machine Report focuses on what events and parties are going on that feature all styles of dance music every weekend in the Queen City. Check out what's happening now:

friday 1/11

NEKTAR

451 Elmwood Ave. Buffalo, NY

The Guestbook Party is a fresh party for designed for Buffalonians who love EDM to experience something cutting-edge. The idea is to trend away from the misconstrued ideas of what dance music is currently on Chippewa. Lets face it, Buffalo nightclubs are trashy and stupid by comparison to those in big cities. But we as patrons of these venues, and aficionados of dancefloors are not oblivious to what's new and hot. DJ DSTAR and Promoter Sean Coughlin are wanting to bring a small taste of that big-city flavor to the upstate. DSTAR who is one half of the buzzworthy Solidisco is going to be playing mostly Deep House and NuDisco. Nektar is not the first place you think of for a party, but it should be interesting to see what kind of crowd is drawn in. Check out some of the Solidisco music below through their Soundcloud and hear why they are quickly gaining more attention on the national level.

DUKE'S BOHEMIAN GROVE BAR

Another new event happening on Friday is a monthly starting at Duke's called the Senior Discount Buffet. They're going along with the theme that these DJs are going to serve up a buffet of different EDM music for your pleasure. Featuring the styles of House, Techno, Bass, Electro, DnB, and Bass music. This night is also going to feature many new DJs that I haven't ever heard of. So it will be interesting to check this out in the coming months. New music below is from EYES EVERYWHERE, the boys formerly known as hxly.

Perhaps the best is yet to come. 2013 will be hard pressed to top last year in the number of great shows and events happening in Buffalo. There is a bleak outlook for what has been announced. Many spring tours that were announced already left Buffalo out of the loop. We'll see. Things seem to work out. Buffalo will continue to trend upward both musically and artistically.

This weekend getting down on the dance floor will not be difficult. Check out these two cool events going on Friday night.

He plays music like Ragga-Jungle and Electro, and he is certainly no stranger to Dubstep. Check out the mix below containing a variety of genres. Many local supporting DJs on the bill, but most notably BETA and BROTHER BEAR both making their return to a Frosty Tone bill.

It may be a new year, but there's more of the same great stuff coming from Culture. Happening on the First Friday of every month, Culture is a party that combines the appreciation of visual art along with the entertainment of music! This week will feature the art of 464 Gallery artists, Marcus Wise and Ryan Mis. Also this is the first weekend that the show Culture will be a stop on the Greater Allentown First Fridays Gallery Walk. This installment of Culture will have music played by BFLO LYDIA, THE OWSKI, and TRAKBENDERS. All of whom will be playing on all vinyl!!! So if you'd rather be all in for some house music come and check out culture.

It helps a little that these two parties are directly across the street from each other. If you like a little flavor from both, it will be easy to hop from joint to joint. 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

No funny business here. No fueling of the Mayan doomsday prophecy. In actuality, those who did any research on the topic would know that this is just the end of their conceived time cycle, a Baktun, and the beginning of a new one. So take it how you will, but be informed. Waking up on Saturday will be just as fresh as putting on crispy clean underwear after a shower. Once showered and all cleaned up, its time to hit the club for the last nights of dancing and partying for 2012.
