$10 PRESALE TICKETS // RSVP

We’re excited to announce that we will be building around a much-needed music scene in the Downtown Santa Barbara area. This first of many events will be headlined by the unmistakable, disco-house demigod Treasure Fingers. In 2008, The Atlanta based DJ/Producer quickly fostered a reputation for his dancy remixes and was signed to A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records. Over the years, Treasure Finger’s name has become synonymous with eclectic, yet tasteful house music. He’s been very much a favorite of ours for years, so we’re excited to host him at the beginning of our SB future. Come out and support the good sound with even better people! Oh by the way, FREE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES before 11pm.

With world class acts such as Bit Funk, Amtrac, Mighty Mouse and Jupiter, Polaroid Thrusdays has had an incredible season. We’re wrapping it up this Thursday with Tech/Deep house legends Tube & Berger.

Raised in a quiet industrial sector of Germany, Tube & Berger’s Arndt Roerig and Marko Vidovic found music at an early age. Together, they made their breakthrough in 2004 when “Straight Ahead” sky rocketed to the top of the US Billboard Dance Chart. Soon after, the two established their own label, Kittball Records. Kittball was an immediate success and found itself among the ranks of the tech house elite.

After attending Coachella for many years, I’ve never seen people dump their tickets for less than face value. This year is different though. Tickets are floating around abundantly like helium balloons at a Honda dealership. I think it has to do with Coachella’s more minimalistic lineup. There’s no mass appeal, at all. Perhaps the “fans” don’t realize (or have the patience to discover) how many hidden gems are stacked on the bill. 2013 is the year of deep house. Deepchella.

Quinten Dupieux (aka Mr. Oizo) is not only a renowned French electro producer, but also a respected film director. In 2010 Quinten released ‘Rubber,’ and now he’s back with a new film. ‘Wrong’ will be released worldwide on Friday and to amp people up, Quinten had a Reddit ‘ask me anything’ session for his fans. Here are the highlights:

dno_bot: Who are your favorite contemporary electronic musicians or DJs?

quintendupieux: i have absolutely no respect for DJs.

youOWEme: What was the inspiration for Flat Eric?

quintendupieux: flat eric was inspired by dogs.

goatwolf: Do you prefer mango or melon?

quintendupieux: fruits are retarded

lausteg: What is it like to be signed to Ed banger?

quintendupieux: nothing special.

linkkjm: Can I have some beard tips?

quintendupieux: do not make it perfect otherwise you’ll look like a poodle

dongfish: How would you describe your music with words?

quintendupieux: my music with words ; ebihebcjshvfw

It’s safe to say that I have never heard any band or musician that can produce such prodigious music consistently like Lemaitre. Their new EP, although brief, pushes every musical standard, whether it be production, singing or style. The new EP only features 4 tracks: Continuum, Fiction, Iron Pyrite, and Cut to Black, but you know what they say.. quality over quantity.

I’m already foaming at the mouth for Relativity 4.

Following up his latest EP, ‘All My Life,’ Gigamesh is back with a new single that might just be his best work yet. The preview is modestly titled ‘Enjoy’ and is driven by those upbeat nu-disco synth stabs that we’ve come to love. If you’re not dancing, something’s wrong.

Unfortunately, we live in an age where mixtapes are disposable. There is something to be said about the trusted integrity of the artist if a tape can transcend time itself. Last week, Cherokee released a 30-minute-mix that could potentially and perpetually remain relevant evermore. The mix exclusively showcases a perfectly picked selection of Cherokee’s originals and remixes (released and unreleased alike).
