There’s less than two weeks left before Sunday School for Degenerates invades NYC on Labor Day weekend. Since 2006, Sunday School has held as the closing party for Winter Music Conference at Miami’s Pawn Shop and has gained a reputation for being one of the best and most outrageous WMC events.
Here in New York, we’ll […]

Matthew Dear will be playing a 4-hour DJ set during Thursday’s installment of Made Event’s Été D’Amour party at Santos Party House.
We’ve seen Matt play at least a half dozen times by now, and he always brings the ruckus.
We’re also excited to check out this fairly new space located at 100 Lafayette for […]

Our good friends at minitek are in the middle of a second 24-hour presale, this time at $60 per ticket. If you slept on the earlier $40 24-hour presale, now’s the time.
Head on over to Resident Advisor to pick up your tickets only until noon tomorrow!
Also, there have been some new additions since the last […]

Minitek is doing a special early-bird presale for tickets until 11PM today. For one day only, weekend passes covering all 3 days of the festival are available for only $40. For our money, $40 is a damn steal for the lineup already announced, and prices will increase for the regular pre-sale happening closer to the […]

At Saturday night’s extra-glittery minimoo party, miss moo revealed some highly anticipated details about the mysterious “what is m?” flyers that have been turning up around town for the past month. Here’s the skinny - m is for minitek, a three day electronic music festival to be held right here in NYC!
Details are still forthcoming, […]

The MSTRKRFT boys are back in town this Friday at Studio B and they’re bringing reinforcements in the form of L.A. Riots, The Bloody Beetroots, and friend of Obscene Lazaro Casanova. Laz also runs a sweet mp3 blog - Shot Callin’ - it’s one of our favorites.
We’ve collectively seen MSTRKRFT half a dozen […]

One of our favorite experimental electronic acts Matmos is playing back-to-back sets (8PM & 10 PM) on Saturday at The Stone in the East Village. Tickets are $10 and you might want to get there early since there are no advance tickets available. The XLR8R video above documents the groups move from San […]

We’re super stoked to hear that The Bomb Squad, Public Enemy’s legendary production team helmed by Hank Shocklee (seen above), will be debuting their new dubstep material at this month’s Dub War on the 15th! This looks to be a big one, as Loefah will also be along for the ride in addition to Blackdown […]

minimoo is an NYC-based collective that has been throwing minimal techno parties around the city (and when they’re on vacation, around the world!) since late 2006. We were lucky enough to catch Paul Ritch at minimoo’s last party, held in December at an absolutely ill space in Long Island City. These guys do […]

The options for electronic music fans in NYC this Friday are major!
First up, Dub War will be filling out their residency at Love with a pair of huge guests, DJ /rupture and Martyn. Martyn made a ton of noise in the dubstep scene earlier this year with his Broken/Shadowcasting 12-inch, and /rupture is […]

[Daft Punk - One More Time Live @ Wireless Festival 2007, London]
With Daft Punk set to take the stage in Las Vegas at Vegoose this weekend (we’re so jealous of our West Coast friends right now!!!) and a short string of dates in Mexico (including Mexico City on Halloween - so nuts!) over the following […]

Andy Smith of Portishead will be DJ’ing at Ben Sherman and Filter Magazine’s CMJ event being held at the Ben Sherman SoHo store on October 19th. If you’re familiar with Portishead but not with Andy Smith as a DJ, stop reading this post immediately and go beg, borrow, or steal a copy of his classic […]

Get a little silly and go watch Architecture in Helsinki at Studio B on Friday ( and Gramercy Theatre the night before ). But we’d rather do a double booking at Studio B for Digitalism on Thursday.

Daniel Bell will be joining Bunker residents Derek Plaslaiko and Spinoza to celebrate Spinoza’s 30th birthday this Friday at The Bunker, held at Galapagos. The Bunker will have special extended hours for this party - 11PM until 6 in the morning… RAVE TILL DAWN!!!
Daniel Bell has been an Obscene NYC favorite since we […]

A pair of interesting shows just came to our attention today.
First up, NYC minimal techno crew minimoo is joining forces with Cielo to bring a taste of Berlin’s infamous Berghain nightclub stateside. While it’s true that Cielo’s crowd can be a little off-putting at times, the sound system is damn near perfect. Marcel Dettmann, resident […]
