DRIVE 2 SURVIVE: ///RESTLESS Takeover #2
Hot damn! Its Remy (the Restless) and Mike (MDY), back again to take over the Badical Beats Blog in preparation for this Friday's monthly ///RESTLESS Dance Party at Beauty Bar!
This month we're tuning up our 1981 Delorean DMC-12 and pulling out all the stops, as we throw yet another night of classic jams and new 80's-inspired creations down on the track for time-trials. We've put together a new collage of 80's films showing some love to our favorite driving scenes – we're sure you'll recognize more than a few... Here's two of the tracks we'll be laying down on Friday, to get your engine warmed up:
MP3: Thieves Like Us - Drugs In My Body (The Twelves Remix)
MP3: Pony Pony Run Run - Star Survivor (Russ Chimes' Drive To Survive Remix)
Joining us this month are two guest DJs: Las Vegas' own VaJayJay of the IndieKrush.com crew will kick-start the night. His soul was saved by Daft Punk, so its in good shape to get your ass shaking.
We're also joined by Miss Toats. We'll let her tell you what she's all about:
"Hey Party People! I'm currently in charge of the IHEARTCOMIX Blog and the head of artist relations for So Sweet Records. I just moved from San Francisco to LA, so I'm excited to start some new things down here. I'm working on a secret project right now to have a cosmic-y disco party with some very interesting clientele. I want to bring a bit of the disco vibe that SF has to LA... I think they're ready for something a little different. I love to spin cosmic/italo/disco music... both old and the new stuff that draws inspiration from the Giorgio Moroders and Chic and the Roni Mitchells and the BWH's... And maybe its the blog side of me, but I also love to spin stuff along the lines of Electro House (Swedish House Mafia, Crookers, Bart BMore, etc) when the setting is right (ie. Mexico or Europe). But I'm super excited for this party... I'm imagining that it will be like the new soundtrack for 'Cruisin USA' (remember? red camaro... convertible... blonde in the passenger seat)... except they stop the car on the side of Pacific Coast Highway because they can't resist the urge to dance."
Here's the tune Miss Toats sent us to give you a little tease of her set, as well as the mix she posted a while back as her "farewell" to Big Stereo that grabbed us by the stick-shift and made us want to bring her down here for a spin around the ///RESTLESS raceway:
MP3: Jamiroquai - Runaway (Alan Braxe and Fred Falke Remix)
MP3: Miss Toats - "Au Revoir BigStereo" Mix (Tracklisting HERE).
In the backyard, you can catch neo-psych band West Indian Girl with Big Friendly Corporation and DangerMike for a low cover of five bucks, and the dance floor inside is FREE as usual.
As always, stay tuned to the ///RESTLESS page for up-to-date news on our next dance party and guest spots. Don't worry, we'll drop the cheesy racing lingo after Friday!
