On Saturday, July 7th, TheDanger takes Manhattan. Prepare yourself for an all night explosion of fallen angels, public scandal, instant fame and performance perfected.
The Righteous & The Wicked Saturday, July 7th @ Rebel - 251 West 30th Street
Experience: Wild art in hidden places, Bedouin lounges, spontaneous performance by Akim Funk Buddha & a late night spectacle featuring arousing angels, kisses from strangers, lost innocence, instant fame and public scandal by the Lady Circus.
Explore three areas of massive sound featuring:
Sujinho : bleeds broken beats. He was brought up and tortured in catholic school where children were "angels that should be silent". Now he retaliates with the most ambitiously intoxicating mixes that might just resurrect the soul of this city.
Justin Carter : A master of low frequencies and hard drums. He's a dabbler in the silver age of hip-hop, the golden age of funk, and the modern age of techno. Justin is one of the most heralded underground spin-masters of the moment.
Chairman Mao : When not plotting world domination Mao moves the dance floor with the vintage funk/soul soiree "Bumpshop," and the true school hip-hop/& everything-but-the-kitchen-sink affair, "Grand Groove".
DJ Haj : In the late night Haj will be erupting the floor with thick layers of break-beats and deep progressions of glitch-hop to middle eastern ethnic dub. Haj will raise the sun as the night wakes into morning in this extended after-hours set.
Steven Lee (Lee Cabrera) : Brings 'in your face, jaw dropping' style of DJing. Lee is comfortable at the forefront of some of the biggest clubs in the world with his infectious technical and stand out style.
Julian Prince : Former resident at Stereo in Montreal, now at Circus, Julian has been rocking dancefloors in North America for the last couple of years with his funky, upbeat mashup of tech house and electro.
Vivie-Ann : Along with the taste-making mixes she drops nightly on dance floors across the world, the 23-year-old Montreal DJ carries a reputation for orchestrating a spectacular fusion of mischief, music and mayhem. When asked to describe her sound, Vivie-Ann rattles off the description "bump in the night with a little dynamite."
Mike Khoury : Has an extensive history of opening and headlining gigs, it's no surprise that Mike is now an elite member of Chicago's EDM Scene. His self-described style is dark, funky, and twisted minimal tech / tech house.
Thomas Pategas : Over the years, he's gained an extremely loyal following by spinning funky house tracks poured over chunky bass lines - a unique sound that has made him one of the top DJs in NYC nightlife.
Terminal Optic (Technics : Terminal : 1200s.com) : Brings life to the velvet gallery with broken beat, breaks to jungle jazz.
In the lounge of Angels: Accept a massage and a blissful mix of ambient, downtempo, dub and glith hop from Ezekiel Honig, Leisure Muffin, Autophage + Prototype and DJ Borne. Plus visuals from The Housewives' Guide To Anatomy, Animatron and SuperDraw.
On this night you deserve nothing but the livest of live music:
Sankofa: There are some bands that play with such blood and energy that you experience an internal revolution with the beat and sweat of just one performance. This is that band. With a soulful lyrics, dance-inducing beats and sharp-edged orchestration Sankofa sounds as if Muddy Waters, U2, Bad Brains and Sam Cooke had a musical love child.
The infamous Church of Stop Shopping Choir: A ten piece live gospel revival with piercing rock/activist edge. The Choir tours the world with Reverend Billy, invading Starbucks and Wal-Marts with their inescapable guerilla message: consumerism is overwhelming our lives. The choir sparks the night at 10pm.
Rev. Vince Anderson and his Love Choir: The originator of the Dirty Gospel movement. Each performance carries you into the sweaty, boozy dance-infused holy-orgy of the Deep South gospel tradition. It's impossible not to groove when this band swarms the stage. We are The Righteous & The Wicked and Rev. Vince Anderson tells us like it is.
All this and more that we can't describe...
