Why lose your sh*t? It's a question people often ask themselves after getting major headspins from drinking a 12 pack of Sparks. Uber-caffinated orange flavored malt liquor has got to be the stupidest invention ever. (Until they sponsor one of our parties, and then its grrrrrrreat! but I digress...) Anyways lose your sh*t has nothing really to do with getting fucked up (really, er, um, really!) its about losing all your pretenious bullshit you've built up and defined yourself by and getting on the dancefloor and having a friggin' good time. To good music. On a good soundsystem. Played by serious motherf*ckers. For not a ton of money. Something we don't see often enough in this two horse town known as NYC, in the gilded age we're living in, so we decided to do something about it. We're doing it ala Eddie Bo.

This next one is the biggest one yet, taking a break from the fine 12turns13 loft space to take over the Brooklyn Masonic Temple in Ft. Green. Its a really beaut old school space, holds over a thousand folks, so plenty of room to boogie and a nice balcony to chill/makeout/throw things at people on the dancefloor. Visuals provided by Lady Firefly and Visualhornhonking. Sound reinforcement by the Professionals. It'll be vibing. As for the musicologists, Dego from 4Hero makes a RARE appearence in NYC. A serious music head who's been in the game for a minnnute. 4Hero has its roots in the techno-breakbeat-hardcore-proto jungle daze of ingland's early 90s, and progressing along thru the years always one step forward, from the sweet soul of 'Les Fleur' and the 'Two Pages' LP to the rinsing sounds of the Tom and Jerry alias to beyond. Really psyched to have him. Also on the bill, the Herbaliser doing a DJ set. With a very niiiice new album feat. Jean Grae among others, the Herbaliser have held the funky side of ninja tune down for over a decade. Realness. Escort, NYC's own allstar disco big band, with strings and horn section and backup singers etc etc, 18 strong, playing a short live set, so don't miss. Memory 9, yet another mofo from across the pond rolls thru with some laptop cutup antics, dude is no joke so set the alarm. DJ Stylus of the Brooklyn Wonderland parties drops a short set before trekking off to europe on a unicycle. And of course mice-elf.
