AirPod N°8 - AirDrop’s Quack @ Bar 13
10 06 2008
(IT MUST BE NOTED THAT PAT FONTES IS MISSING FROM THIS PICTURE- WHY? because he is hardcore to the core and had to be back in Boston awake and functional at 10AM in his newly promoted job)
First of all, we would like to thank everyone who made the AirDrop die Ente release party possible, the friends who did show up, the friends who didn’t but tried their hardest, the artists for making the music and coming down to play it, obscenenyc and brooklynvegan for putting out the word and of course Memo from Bar 13 for doing things right.
The night was great despite having most of NYC’s electronic music lovers still under the Detroit spell, most were able to come party for a few hours. The night started off with legendary Pat Fontes who played beautifully and got the dancers warmed up for Sergio Santos who also played great ending his set with Tanner Ross’ die Ente remix, which people definitely started to go crazy to. (A dark video to go with the dark track will be here shortly)
At this point Bar 13 has grown a moving and grooving dancefloor eager to absorb all the music possible. Tanner Ross now steps behind the decks and attacks as directly as possible with his Dirtybird roots and gets people jumping with Justin Martin’s Cicada remix (such a dope track). Then a bit later, he moves on to Mothership, Dirtybird’s other sick label to which Tanner also belongs to, and gets Bar 13 all hyped up with Italoboyz Bahia (aka the John Coltrane shizzie). After Tanner Ross gets everybody even more pumped up, it is time for Soulclap to jump behind the decks.
Soulclap played phucking amazing too! They even played one of my favorite tracks of the moment that I first saw Heidi destroy back at Studio B and then Sammy D at Old Miami in Detroit, Phreaky MF by Mike Dunn. You can listen to it here, but support the artists and get it on beatport (note the spelling). I was also very pleased by the crowd’s reaction to die Ente original which got them all quacking like they should (check it out under releases- hit us up to buy the vinyl in advance).
Huge thanks to the Boston crew for coming down when they needed to be back the early the next day for DOTC (Dancing on the Charles) their outdoor riverside summer party.
