Blondes(RVNG, NYC) Brooklyn lo-fi acid-house revivalists and organic techno enthusiasts that will move your body. This duo has been described as 'melding assorted influences ranging from acid techno to new age to Top 40 into a personal dance vision, its 40 minutes offer an exploration of euphoria, intuition, and emotion at their most purified. Equally at home in a sweaty basement party or a solo 6 AM drive thinking "where did it all go so right", this is probably the closest anyone has gotten to translating the shape of a heart into electronic wave forms.

DAM FUNK w/ Master Blaster(Live) Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dãm-Funk represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere. Headquartered in the Culver City section of L.A., Dãm (pronounced: 'Dame' as in Damon) spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-'80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk.
Nite Jewel At first glance, the idea of bedroom dance music seems almost contradictory. After all, what good is a beat without a crowded floor on which to exploit it? Dig a little deeper, though, and it turns out that clubland’s darkened interiors and anonymous throngs are indeed lonely places, making dance far more introspective than any casual observer would ever expect. Los Angeles resident Ramona Gonzalez understands this paradox all too well, so much so that the tracks she cooks up as Nite Jewel harness moody beatscapes as they move away from the floor, through open doors and out into the humid black.
Jonas Reinhardt The music is still replete with swirling synths and vintage elements, most notably the Michael Karoli guitar lead that peals over an open-throttled Klaus Dinger beat. But more important than the influences they crib is the energy that drummer Damon Palermo (Mi Ami), guitarist Phil Manley (Trans Am), and bassist Diego Gonzalez (Citay) bring. They don’t just rock a Neu! beat; they really rock, and by doing so yank Jonas Reinhardt out of the past and into the now.
