ELECTROPORT ANCIENT EMPIRE OF THE AZTEC // RECAP

leave a comment

This past Saturday saw the 2nd installment of Dr. Osaka’s Electroport series. I was even more impressed than before at the vision and dedication that Michael, Rosa and Ben have towards making this event otherworldly. The amazing attention to detail in costumes, hair, makeup and performances is shaping this thing up to be a force to be reckoned with. I could tell you about it but it would do it no justice. Ok fine, here’s a summary: Feathers, 2 choreographed dances, headdresses, professional ballerina, loincloths, Grip Plyaz as king, feathers, shaman drag queen, Minchy Minch sacrifice, and Jager blood shots.

So there. Come out for the 3rd one where Osaka goes into the inferno to rescue his loverly assistant.

Dr. Osaka’s Electroport to the Ancient Empire of the AZTECS

leave a comment


If you missed the last one, I’m sorry. Don’t miss this one. It’s far FAR more elaborate with performances, tons of feathers, color, skin, hair and makeup. All this for $7 or free if you wear a headdress. Can’t beat that!

When we last left the doctor, he and his assistant jumped into the Electroport to escape the Oriental baddies. Come and see the shennanigans he gets into at the next installment of:

{ ELECTROPORT TO THE ANCIENT EMPIRE OF THE AZTECS }}

Join us in a distant time and a savage land as guests in the gilded court of the warrior king of the Aztecs…

Where you will witness unspeakable rituals of the darkest magic…

Cheer as a virgin princess is rescued right before your eyes..

And dance unhindered with the mystical spirits of Mesoamerica…

As your blood pulses to the beat of an exotic drum…

That is, if its allowed to stay in your veins…

Sloppy-mania

leave a comment

Earlier this week I got the following text “know any girls that want to wrestle in slime?” for what? why? “Sloppy Seconds” oh…

Yeah, slime wrestling. Sadly, I did not know any (or at least assumed that all my lady friends are too classy for that) HOWEVER… the winner gets a belt proclaiming them the winner of all that is good and pure in the world. Well… maybe not that exactly but you know what I mean.

GOLD SWEAT // MAY 15th @ MJQ

leave a comment

GOLD SWEAT // MAY 15th @ MJQ Yea you read that right, Gold Sweat is now at the Q, this is kinda epic since this is the second night since the Gold Sweat crew moved from EL BAR to the Q. Just to show they weren’t Fukking around they brought in EGYPTRIXX from Canada to rock the crowd along with our very own Rob Wonder, Captain Crunk, and Black Dominoes. If you haven’t experienced a gold sweat party your missing out big time. Its 5 bucks to get in and party starts at 11. We also got this latest track from Egyptrixx to give you a taste of what to expect // MORE INFO AND LINKS AFTER THE JUMP + enjoy
EGYPTRIXX // Just Say Really
______________

EGYPTRIXX + www.myspace.com/africaforyou
Captain Crunk + www.blog.goldsweatatl.com
Rob Wonder + www.robwonder.com
Black Dominoes + www.myspace.com/blackdominoes

Egyptrixx is a producer from Toronto, Canada, who makes celestial club music; ghettotech for the tricks of the galaxy…jeep music for a Saturn desert. Tracks like ‘Use Magic To Kill Death blow crowds away with their seasick, lilting take on vocal bassline, like some cyborg sound-image of a diva trapped in a pitch-bending hall of mirrors, over oozing slugs of 4×4 bass. It’s an exhilarating right-but-wrong tension that all of Egyptrixx’ tracks share – a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial.
(Alex “Bok Bok” Sushon – Fact Magazine)

In just one year, his distinct aesthetic – crooked and disorientating layers of bass, saturated by retro-futurist polysynths – has become an acclaimed presence in underground music, garnering praise from The Wire, Fact Magazine, Grindin, and countless other blogs and websites. His unique and energetic live sets are in-demand, with headlining sets banked all over Europe and North America and a busy touring schedule in upcoming months. In his music, bass drops and jacking percussion are balanced by a space-disco euphoria found in key melodies. With critically acclaimed releases already out on Vicious Pop, Wide, Idiot House, influential UK imprint Ramp, and a critically acclaimed new 12” for Night Slugs Records, ‘The Only Way Up”, the future looks bright for Egyptrixx.
