What’s going on in REAL de Janeiro?

While your at home looking at vice magazines do´s and don’t´s on the interweb, there´s a sick Sunday night party going on in a club cleverly named after something silly: 69.
Dj´s Chico Dub, Pedro Seiler and Joao Brasil are gonna make carioca booties bounce to post-baile funk, electro, mash-ups, world beats, and best of all GHETTOTEC. Here´s hoping they play some DJ Assault…

Oh, yeah, did I mention last time I danced with the Cheetah (when their beats were banging at Casa da Matriz) the room was filled with the presence and sounds of none other than guest Dj Sany Pitbull??? No big deal. These guys know what’s fresh, no joke, learn Portuguese and scope out their bloggerific.

Dancing Cheetah round two goes on all through May on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and the 31st.

P.S. If you are in Rio and need a reason to celebrate, VICE magazine is hitting the streets of the city blessed by the statue of J.C. Until that actually happens, check out the newest .com.br!

Here´s a Joao Brasil mix for your eyes and ears..

BFD

casual with gun

I’m finding myself to be more confrontational with COMPLETE strangers lately.

The other day I told my neighbour to get a new personality.

I was thinking of seeking some professional advice, but I decided to just watch some TV. Oh man that Theo Huxtable just kills me.

the interview show: Saul Williams

Poet. Rapper. Educator. Actor. Spoken Word Artist. Saul Williams does it all.
Wikipedia says that most people will know Williams from his lead role in the 1998 film Slam. The film was about a talented young poet who is hampered by his ghetto roots. (Yup, one of those films.)
I know him through his music.
His first album Amathyst Rock Star was produced by hip hop legendary producer Rick Rubin, and in my interview with Saul, he explains why that relationship and album were complicated. His self-titled album is where it came together for me. Songs like “Talk to Strangers” (with Serj Tanikan on piano) and “List of Demands” are exactly what I want, well-produced, thought-provoking hip hop.
Funny. I call his stuff “hip hop,” but it could easily fit into many categories:  R&B, hip hop, alternative or indie rock, or even spoken word. Williams is one of those artists who ignores and transcends genre boundaries and does really interesting stuff.
And this is his problem.
No one knows how to market him. He was labeled “not enough of a rapper” by hip hop labels. At the same time, he is a African American artist with no problems working with “rock stars” like Trent Reznor or Serj from System of a Down–or covering bands like U2.
His latest album, The Inevitable Rise and Triumph of Niggy Tardust, was produced by industrial god Trent Reznor and still manages to hover somewhere in between hip hop and spoken word with Reznor’s industrial-inspired beats.
Rather than have another label misunderstand his music, Williams has decided to market the record himself . Yet again, Saul Williams is a pioneer.
The album is available for download for FREE (or $5 for a high quality rip). Buy it or just listen to it. You won’t be disappointed.

Sex Party, Let’s Have One

I have been contemplating the end of the world a lot.

I’ve decided for peace of mind perhaps, that it will not be one big nuclear blast but more of a wild sex-zombie fuck fest as David Cronenberg envisioned it in his debut feature, Shivers.

Sex Party are originally from Red Deer, Alberta where they created quite the stir. They have recently relocated to Vancouver.

They sound like the lovechild of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs & The Rapture if they were to hook up and have a hot night of passion.

This Saturday, Winnie Cooper presents one of the most exciting new bands in town at our No More Strangers night, along with the one man keytar sensation, Keytar Warrior!!
