DJ mix: Eats Everything

This year's edition of the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival was bigger and better than ever. It seems like only yesterday that the gang at MeanRed Productions kicked off the annual Brooklyn Electronic Music Fest—but, incredibly, the two-day throwdown’s fifth (fifth!) edition just sprawled across Williamsburg last weekend. And, my, how BEMF has grown! The fest featured the very cool likes of Nicolas Jaar, Omar-S, Jackmaster, Toddla T, Benji B, Brielle and Metro Area, representing everything from dubstep to disco, from bass music to…well, whatever you want to call the languorous throb of Jaar’s music, that was for the taking as well.

Well, we’ve said it plenty of times—but we’re certainly not complaining about this comiing Tuesday, November 20th, when the venerable Nervous label is bringing in Adam Port and &Me, who are in town to represent for their home imprint, Berlin’s Keinemusik. Both are talented producers and players of deep house, but judging from these two mixes, they take somewhat different approaches to their sound: &Me’s set is a refined, beautiful sequence of tracks, taking its sweet time to build up steam, while Port’s is more of a wide-ranging, party-time affair. (Props go to Port for including a wicked edit of Bush Tetra’s 1980 cut “Snakes Crawl”) Both mixes are great, though, boding well for

The veteran producer Squarepusher brings his audiovisual extravaganza to NYC. For the past two decades, Tom “Squarepusher” Jenkinson has been one of electronic music’s true iconoclasts, beginning with his early hyperbreakbeat material to the recent Ufabulum, an album that fuses Jenkinson’s spiky rhythmic sense and love of sweeping melody. He’s spent recent months on tour with a live show that presents the new music with an intense audio-visual flourish; on Thursday, Nov 1, that tour descends upon Terminal 5. You’re in the middle of what one of your biggest tours every, right?Yeah, but I’ve got a few days at home right now. Which, lately, is a rare occurrence. In terms of doing shows, this has been nonstop; the first one was in March, and it hasn’t really let up since then.Between the tour, the intricacies of the show itself, the live EP, the album’s glow-in-the-dark packaging, the t-shirts and everything else, it seems like you’ve really gone all-in with this album. Is there any particular reason for that, other than the fact that it’s a pretty great record?Well, I’m not sure everyone would agree with that. [Laughs] But I suppose each set of music determines, to a point, what I end up doing with it. For something to end up on a record, it has to be of a certain standard; I don’t put things out just for the sake of it. Before I even think about things like artwork, live versions and whatever else might end up happening with it, I have to have some degree of confidence that the

Techno vet Insideout marks the Subdivision soiree's rebirth with a set of fine-tuned electronics. Good news: Subdivision—the monthly electronic-oriented shindig dedicated to the sounds of Detroit-influenced techno and house, classic material and the various waves—is back on the scene, with residents Insideout, Patrick Russell, Juan Carlos and their pals playing the tunes in the intimate, newly renovated basement of Tammany Hall. To help mark the rejuvenated shindig’s first edition (coming up on Friday, November 30th), Insideout has bestowed a beautiful moody mix upon us, with its sounds running through bubbling acid to superdeep house to, at the set's finish, a nice bit of graceful mellow-tech transcendence.Subdivison is at Tammany Hall on Friday, November 30th.
