Skylab2000 :: Saturday Mar. 6th @ Wired Live
January 3, 2010 by admin
Filed under Past Events
From large outdoor festivals in Europe and Asia, to sweaty basements on the east coast, to massives in Los Angeles, skylab2000 has long been a part of the global dance music revolution.
Time Out magazine says:”skylab2000 is a rave legend.”
Urb Magazine decribes skylab2000 live performances as “incredible” and”fantastic”.” Dave Dresden [Gabriel & Dresden] calls the Rollergirl single is “the bomb of all bombs.“ In the UK, Pete Tong of BBC Radio One chose the Auburn single as an “Essential Selection“.
These are just a tiny sample of the compliments collected on the long road skylab2000 has traveled.
Superstar DJs such as Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Taylor, John Kelly, and Keoki play skylab20000 tracks. Many releases are on top selling CDs – on great labels such as Moonshine, Koch, Journeys by DJ, Phatt Phunk, 3am Records, Brainiak, City of Angels, Genesis Project, Metronix, and Starshagger.
Single tracks are available on 12″ vinyl, CD, and on iTunes and Beatport. In downloadable mp3 releases, the Rollergirl track alone has almost a million downloads, and growing.
Of course, skylab2000 does remixes, including high profile artists such as Crystal Method’s Trixie Reiss, and world reknowned DJ Paul Oakenfold.
For over a decade, skylab2000 has been traveling city to city playing LIVE for some the best audiences in the world – in places as far away as Russia, Japan, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Montreal, Puerto Rico, Vancouver, and Mexico. In the USA, skylab2000 has played hundred of live shows in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Denver, Miami, Memphis, Nashville, Detroit, Las Vegas, Alaska, Seattle and many, many more!
On stage, it’s hardware synths, samplers, mixers, and effects. No laptop band here! The music is played live, changing to the crowds needs and creating a ride to remember. The current skylab2000 sound is a blend of techno, electro, hard house, nu skool breaks, acid, trance, and a sprinkle of drum n bass.
Lastly, movies, television shows and major video game soundtracks also have the skylab2000 touch. Microsoft’s “Amped” and Konami’s massive “Dance Dance Revolution” have skylab2000 tracks in the games, with more to come.
What’s next? Stay tuned!
Mission control out.

Mark Farina ** Special 4 Hour Set**
[Great Lakes Audio, Mushroom Jazz, Apt // San Francisco]
“I look at my job as a modern day traveling minstrel, to bring new music to as many places as I can, and expose obscure records that, otherwise, might go hidden.”
Since 1989, Mark Farina has been traveling the globe performing at literally hundreds of shows a year, sometimes DJing both of his preferred styles in two different rooms at the same party. At other events, he’s been known to play extended sets. In his House sets, Mark is known for his uniquely effortless journeys on the jazzy side of Chicago House, mixed up San Fran style, and flawless as always!

Gritsy :: Saturday Jan. 9th at The Roof Bar
December 7, 2009 by admin
Filed under Past Events
GRITSY is that infamous, pseudo monthly, dubstep party
that’s rocking the spot in Houston, Texas like no other….
and it’s only getting BIGGER!!!
Don’t know just what dubstep is?
Here is a definition according to our good friend, Joe Nice, the stateside’s #1 selector [dj] of the dubstep sound:
Deep in the heart of South London’s underground lies a sound that percolates in the streets and vibrates the speakers…dubstep is the soundtrack. A vibe that rests on the edge of relaxation and explosion, that flourishes in the middle ground of the comfortable sounds of soulful house and the unbridled energy of drum & bass…..
Music made in London — forged from multicultural influences, syncopated rhythms and loads of bass.
GRITSY, the party that brought the dubstep sound to H-town, is just a straight up PARTY with some wonderful peoples, great djs/selectors, and a soundsystem that’ll make your body SHAKE with some serious BASS!
GRITSY also co-sponsors other events all throughout Houston that meet the GRITSY standard. Currently we are working with Karma & Heavy.dnb to rock the house with many events all around Houston!
Whatever it maybe, the GRITSY logo always ensures that the party’s vibe is always thick, the crowd is feelin’ it, the drinks are stiff, the bass is heavy, and the beats are nasty!

Tim Xavier
[Clink, Limited400, Cocoon, Connekted :: Berlin]
Special Hometown Holiday Appearance!!
A dear friend and techno icon, Tim Xavier is returning to his hometown to move the dance floor for one night only! Tim’s passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases a decade ago on Blueline. His incomparable, diverse production has transcended through the maturation of alternative dance music, and his dark, edgy sound has somehow remained in tact through his evolution. He has performed across the globe and carries events through peak hours with groovy, yet still driving, dance music. Ready to perform at any hour, for any length, Tim’s sets are diverse and he is a master of his craft. His relentless devotion to providing cutting edge audio continues to keep him in the upper echelon of artists, and as he continues to grow it is guaranteed that we have still yet to see the best of his work. Owner and chief engineer at Manmade Mastering in Berlin, this sleepy-eyed coffee addict defines cool as he cuts master plates for many respected labels such as Spectral Sound, Wagon Repair, Minus, Mobilee, and B-Pitch. Welcome back Tim!!
