This is a mix from a local Los Angeles DJ that spins Top40, Club, House and R&B.  Very talented individual that is eager to please his audience.  I am generally not a fan of the more mainstream genres, but DJ Uniek has a unique way of making it all come together!

Kenneth Thomas’ Podcast Obsessions

Kenneth Thomas

Kenneth Thomas - Kenneth Thomas presents Obsessions

Kenneth Thomas

Kenneth Thomas is without doubt one of the most promising young DJs in the electronic scene right now. There’s an intelligence and a well defined style to his sets. He’s quickly emerging as one to watch in the next generation of superstar DJs”. When Paul Oakenfold has this to say about someone people can tend to stop and take a listen. Following in an elite class consisting of Dave Ralph, D:Fuse & Hernan Cattaneo, its seems every 5 years or so Oakenfold hand picks a future star to take under his wing and the latest selection is Kenneth Thomas. Hailing out of the Detroit, the birthplace of Techno, KT stands out with his emotional and melodic sound. Some might not see the connection of Detroit to his sound, but the connection is there. The same aggression that spawned the early techno sounds of the 90’s is the fuel that fires Kenneth to explore the emotional side of the musical experience. Music has always been a spiritual place for Kenneth and because the depth of dance music goes well beyond a conscious level, there’s an underlying exploration and experience in every set and track.

Beyond traveling the globe, Kenneth has also become a juggernaut in the studio over the past 3 years having completed over 40 tracks and remixes for labels including Baroque, Armada, Om, Perfecto, Cuurve, Alter Ego, Hope and more. Now, busy working on his second EP for Markus Schulzs’ Coldharbour Recordings and coming off recent remixes for David Guetta, Jan Johnston, Oliver Moldan, Jeff Mills and even Scott Wieland, we have seen this ‘Dj at heart’ break new ground in the areas of production. And now beyond DJing & producing, KT is also A&R for Perfecto Records and is helping spearhead the renaissance of one of the greatest labels dance music has ever seen.The future is bright for Kenneth. Touring regularly around the world sharing his blend of progressive minded dance music, his focus has never changed since day one, “This is the most amazing sound I have ever encountered, I just want to share it with as many people as possible.” – The DJ List

Pala: Portland’s Premier Fashion Nightclub

Filed under: Art, Culture, Music, Spotlight: Portland — Echoik @ 12:51 pm

Pala\'s sign on NW 3rd Ave

Old Town, Portland, Oregon. Where the roofies out-number the women 3 to 1. However, if you can snake your way through the frat boys and greased up, gold chain adorned, half buttoned dress shirt with designer jeans wearing hoards; you might stumble upon a diamond in the rough.

Pala: Fashion Lounge

Saturday night, $4 cover
DJ: Luke Solomon (UK)

Music: Every night I’ve been to this place they were spinning hip, danceable house music. This night was definitely no exception. Vocal heavy and thick bass lines that kept me moving all night, even while in line for drinks. Pala truly is a breath of fresh air for just the simple fact that they are they only club in town (that I’m aware of) that is consistently bringing International DJs through my humble city without a production company: Please note that I emphasize club compared to most places that host a single night. There are certainly venues and promotions groups, such as RedCube, who are bringing in large EDM acts from around the world, but for the everyday party at your downtown local pub, Pala is where it’s at!

Genres: House, Breaks, Funky Breaks, Down-tempo

Drinks:
Microbrews ($4)
Mixed drinks ($6)
Poured heavy (Priceless)

Kat (our regular bartender) has been consistently awesome each time I’ve been here. There was a bartender I hadn’t seen before as well, and he was just as attentive, quick and accurate. The service is great!

Crowd: There was a heavy mix of all types of people, including lots of women who like to get dressed up and boogie. For the majority of the evening, at least half of the patrons at the bar were on the dance floor shakin’ it. With around 100 people in the bar, there was plenty of room for everyone to dance and mingle without pushing and shoving. I’m assuming that the masses just aren’t aware of how great the music and mood is in this place.

Atmosphere: The bar’s only downfall, in my opinion, is lighting. The dance floor is absent of lights except three small black lights hitting three gracefully hung white strips of fabric running from the ceiling to the adjacent wall. However, the lighting in the bar and at the tables gives a wonderful chill ambiance as do the antiquities from Bali that are scattered throughout the place. The bar had a copper finish and LCD TVs playing runway shows, fashion photography and the Korean break dancing championships accenting the scene making this place truly unique.
A couch near the back and a day bed beside the dance floor provide a comfy spot to relax and people watch.  Outside there is a private parking lot with canopies under which smokers lounge on benches, still able to hear the tunes bumping inside since the club is nice enough to bring out a speaker.

It’s easy to meet people and strike up interesting conversations, especially outside. When I asked a few what they liked about the place, most all say they enjoy the relaxed vibe and great music. I definitely have to agree!

What’s Happenin from NY

Filed under: Current Events, Music, Other Blogs, Spotlight: New York — Drew @ 6:53 pm

Hello Everybody!!

Just saying hello! I will be representing the East Coast and Canadian side of the electronic music scenes surrounding Buffalo & Toronto. Living in Buffalo, so much of what I post will be centered on the western NY region, but with the quality of music found out here, that’s not really a problem at all. Buffalo is a hidden gem of techno, house, and electro and is over looked on the national scene for larger spots like NYC. Although there is a lack of national acts visiting the area, the locals make up for it with a true passion and love for the music… And they do it well!

Soon I hope to have another website up with some links to mixes and productions from the guys out here, (maybe later this week) until then…

Peace,

Drew

Somehow Still Alive @ The San Pedro Brewery, June 13th 2008

Nestled in the heart of downtown San Pedro, the San Pedro Brewery sits in between shops, restaurants and small clubs. Having the average selection of micro brews, the Brewery presents a small stage in the heart of the bar for local bands in the area to perform. On Friday, June 13th, the Brewery hosted Sean Lane & the Hellhounds & Somehow Still Alive to keep the bar rocking until the early morning hours.

Starting off the evening, the Hell Hounds brought a blues infused, rockabilly style sound to open it for my
local friends, Somehow Still Alive. The Hellhounds started out soulful and bluesy, getting the bar crowd bobbing their heads and tapping their feet to some of their soulful original tunes.

After about an hour, the Hellhounds ended their set after getting the bar warmed up for the main event! Around 11:45PM Somehow Still Alive started off their set with a bang, playing Frontline, my favorite track of their’s, early off in the set. The crowd was really responsive and you could feel the energy in the room. The guys played quite a few tracks off of their freshman release, Afterall as well as playing at least one new track I hadn’t heard throughout their set. By the end of their set the bar was up and arms and having a great time. All in all a great show although the bar’s stage was tiny in comparison to other hot spots for local talent in the area. Either way Somehow Still Alive put on a great performance and I am definitely looking to go see them again (maybe at a little bit bigger spot next time…).
