dj nights

Venue address and phone numbers




pick of the week:

FRIDAY, AUGUST 30

STROBE (one-off) (techno) @ Silk City w/ Bob Brown, DJ Shiva, Slushy and Trevitt, $5. Theres only a handful of DJs keeping the techno vibe alive in this town. For this evening, you can wrap yourself in the timbre-laden, melody-lacking 4/4 madness that we refer to as techno -- raw, gritty, grainy, heavy, synthetically pure and vigorously mixed. Four of Phillys forefront techno junkies unite to bring you a rare and intimate excursion into this headstrong music style. Brace yourself for some staggering, astoundingly entertaining, ultra-funky mixology from Phillys newest techno goddess, DJ Shiva -- recently relocating to Philly from Indianapolis, where her bangin machine-funk turned heads all over the place. Bob Brown, the innovator behind the recent 37-track mix CD of big-room tribal techno, Afrika Aware, mastermind behind the Framework label and partially responsible for the legendary Flight parties at the Troc, will be on hand to deliver rough and rugged tech-mayhem with ultra-quick mixing and industrial-fused obscurity. Tech Supports Slushy likes to bang it out hard -- blurring your mechanical mind with drums and more drums. Finally, the night will commence with the tight skills and irresistible beats of Foundation Vibrations Trevitt -- known for his rave-happy, boobies-loving Automatic parties every Tuesday at New City Tavern (a.k.a. the Techno Diner.) So, yeah, get some bang for your buck. Techno is here to stay.
