[title]That exclamation point isn't there to convey our excitement—it's an official part of DJ-producer Matthew Benjamin's nom de musique—but we are extremely amped about the Basic NYC--KGB gig that Benjamin and partner Layo Paskin will be playing on Saturday, November 20. The gig itself should be killer, with the U.K. duo spinning revved-up house rhythms alongside hosts Sleepy & Boo in Sullivan Room, and Carl Craig (with no less than Amp Fiddler on live keys) doling out his jazz-tech beats in the upstairs Sullivan Hall. But what makes this event really special is the venue's intimacy; these guys, whose path to superstardom wasn't hurt by the fact that Layo co-owned one of London's premier clubs, the End (may it rest in peace), usually ply their trade in niteries many times larger than Sullivan Room. It's as close to a don't-miss party as we get in NYC—and here's a deep-yet-jacking Layo & Bushwacka! mix to get you ready.
