YOUNG GUNS: FEED THE WOOLF

Hey all! The summer is in full swing and there is lots of new music that I'm excited about. Amidst all the awesome banger electro thats getting press right now theres lots of groovin nu disco thats goin under the radar. I'm talking in about sweet and sassy indie vocals over a funked up electronic beat. One of my fave artists in this style is LA homie Woolfy. Originally from England this dude is packin some of the funkiest, most relaxing and catchy Summer jams around. I've included two songs from his new album in my minimix below. Oh and btw he will be joining us at Young Guns this Saturday!

Young Guns Summertime Ish

Let the games begin! Its the summer, the heat is on and Young Guns is going down at El Dorado this saturday with a unique first time event. We've put together an epic showdown of sorts, and no there isn't any real weapons involved. We are bringing in a total of four turntables so that two djs can mix together at the same time. Its the ultimate battle to make you dance! The format is two records each per dj, going back and forth live. Who will make you dance harder? DJ Groundfloor or Gabe Vega? Come show your support for this hybrid dance party/live sporting event and cheer for your favorite mix master!



Put those PBR cans on quick draw and be down at the old booze corral before high moon this Saturday for the showdown.

He is gonna with us on Saturday so I'm sure you will see what all the fuss is about. Btw I got a new mini mix for you to download fast 'n easy below...

DJ Groundfloor's Young Guns Update: SATURDAY!

Gotta start with an obligatory shout out about the awesomeness of the last Young Guns. You know that something went right when you have a full house of people chanting the words to MGMT's 'Time To Pretend' at 130AM with the light turning on:

Ive been getting some really positive feedback from the mini mix that I put up last time so I'm gonna try to make it a bimonthly thing. As you know these mixes tend to gravitate towards a more listenable sound i.e. a soundtrack for web surfing, mating, etc. This is my first all downtempo mix- think leftfield French Pop meets white boy American electro r 'n b. Or something. Its pretty weird so if you are looking for club, electro or nu disco mix you can find several mixes for download on my myspace.

Tracklist
1. Hearts Revolution - OOOOOOOOOO
2. Metronomy - Thing For Me (Breakbot Remix)
3 Sebastian Tellier - La Ritournelle (Magic Wand Mix)
4. Boy Crisis - Ganglion of Lightnings
5. Pony Pony Run Run - Boy Girl Surrender (Summer Edit)


Last but not least Bird Peterson is gonna do it up real nice this saturday @ Young Guns- alot has been said about him in the post below this one but I'll just say this: Bird P is MSTRKRFT's favorite new dj and so he is worth checking out if you get down like that. Here's a video of MSTRKRFT dropping Bird P's Track 'The Essence' at Coachella 2009:





Peace all, See ya Saturday

Hey Buddy!!

Well Young Guns is almost five parties deep and its been twelves types of awesome all the way through. I would like to focus our attention to exhibit A below:



What is she thinking? Whatever it is, it is what the Young Guns parties are all about. Lets try figure this out saturday night- I hope everyone reaches that level at least once in the evening. To get you there we've got some of the finest hometown jocks around, and not the kind that will give rufees to your girlfriend.



First up we've got local indie rockers turned dj trio Buddy Akai. Playing a live electronic dj set. As pioneers of the San Diego indie dance movement I'm not sure I need to introduce them but for those that dont know here is little sample to geek out on:

VIMBY - Buddy Akai

Young Guns: The Godfather

Wow! Before I get started I just gotta say that Lykke Li at the Belly Up tonight was phenomenal. The gist of it: a Swedish singer/songwriter in Solana Beach at on a Monday night right after Coachella (where she also performed) completely sold out. Why such a big deal? Imagine a one-in-a-million voice somewhere between the Nordic rasp of Niko and the ethereal cooing of Blonde Redhead. It was something very special and everyone was stoked to be there. She even covered 'A Milli" by Lil Wayne and "Can I Kick It?' By A Tribe Called Quest- IN STYLE! On that note lets talk about this Saturday night because I'm sure we will witness an equal level of awesomeness.



Where do I begin? Franki Chan is one of my heroes. Not because he is a jet setting DJ, or because he is world famous for his record label/production company, IHeartComix (home to Designer Drugs, HeartsRevolution, Matt & Kim and many others). He's got something few DJs can claim- he helped start a new movement in music, a movement that is close to the hearts of tens of thousands of musically-discerning southern Californians.
He almost single-handedly lit the indie dance party fire in LA in the later half of this decade. He brought out French Electro super bad asses Justice for their first American show. He help break Spank Rock, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco, Crystal Castles, Boys Noize, and many others to the Southern Californa masses with his bi-monthly party called Check Yo Ponytail in LA. He did it before "electro" was a buzzword, and he is a big reason the genre has moved to that point. For that he is rightfully called the Godfather by many. Below is a video that documents Check Yo Ponytail on Halloween night 2006. This was the first night Justice performed in the states to scores of screaming fans. Did I mention MSTRKFT was there too? It was a catalytic moment in dance music culture and we at El D are proud to have him get behind the decks this Saturday for your entertainment.

Here's one of Mr. Chan's recent mixtapes

POSSO!

Hey everyone!

DJ Groundfloor here, first of all, tip of my hat to everyone that came out to the Shark Attack party! The dance floor was full and abundant with smiles at the end of the night- a true measure of a good time. You can find the photo from that night right here. The Young Guns parties are shaping up to be among the best in our fine city, if you haven't come out yet, we've got a great party lined up for you this saturday!

In sync with San Diego Fashion Week, we bring you the official Fashion Week Closing Party for those who know. Our guest entertainers for the night are two girls from LA that have made their mark on both the fashion and music industry. Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini are collectively know as Posso, a forward thinking fashion lifestyle brand and a cutting edge DJ collective. They are perhaps most well known in the fashion industry for resurrecting the popularity of the Spat , a now sought-after vintage fashion accessory. In recent times they've made their mark on the music world, DJing at amazing parties alongside Cut Copy, Them Jeans, Steve Aoki, LA Riots, and many others. Posso will join us this Saturday for a party you won't want to miss.
