Papa San Bra (Palm D’or Edit)

Silkken Laumann’s vox man, Palm D’or, presents the first in a series of bangin’ edits of little known Ghanian band, Okukuseku (Guitar Band No.1). Boyyy-ya!

Friday March 16, SILKKEN LAUMANN gets behind the decks to guest DJ at the March edition of Mindgames.

WE ARE PLAYING A JAIL RAVE.

This Saturday, we play the final F-Minus magazine launch party

We owe a great debt to CU’s Architectural students. Having barely a show under out belts, they welcomed us to play one of their infamous F-Minus magazine parties at Bowich last fall, and their Milleux (Kosmic) event.

They helped us cut our teeth, and this Saturday, we’ll help them celebrate the release their last issue of F-Minus with a blow-out at the H.I. Jail Hostel with our friends The Glass Chain and MTL’s Marble Lion

It’s gonna be sweaty. Deets:

Debut Mix From SILKKEN’s Pat Johnson

When not annihilating the skins during a marathon SILKKEN LAUMANN set, our drummer Pat Johnson is incessantly sifting through oceans of dance tracks.

Here, we proudly present Pat’s debut mix set, Esoterixx Vol.1. Modern, anchored in melodic bass lines, with just a touch of humour, Pat’s debut mix is a doozy featuring choice cuts from Todd Terje, SCB, Tanner Ross, Metro Area and John Talabot. Get on ‘er:

Adam Saikaley, New DJ Mix; definitely available.

Thanks to everyone that came out to St. Brigid’s Underground last weekend.
CFCF got freaky on us, and we liked it. Pat’s nervousness about hitting the mark behind the decks was obviously unfounded; Johnson was on deep points, and Adam’s Baile Funk finds left us gobsmacked.

Saikaley will be dropping another healthy set this last Saturday of February (the 25th) at the debut installment of $CEREMONY$ at the H.I. Jail Hostel (along with the deft wizardry of Eric Roberts/TK and Gary Franks/ThePopAndLock).

For now, let Adam’s new DJ mix tide you over, and then some.
