Nicole Andris
It is time to kick off the summer season with our favorite fiesta,
Freqo de Mayo! And what better artist to bring the hot latin salsa
beats, but TIPPER! ok....wait....maybe he won't bring the salsa
beats....or wear a mariachi outfit...or do jello shots and then let us
shake his head while blowing a whistle.....but who cares: TIPPER!
This show is gonna be awesometown. I can't wait to come party in the
relatively new-ish venue of Temple with ALL the Fringe favorites. ALL
OF THEM! plus special guests: Mozaic, Ground_Control, and Antennae.
Not to mention the cute lil dreadlocked Canadian coasting us thru to
the end: PHAT CONDUCTOR!
You couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off our festival
season than a hot lineup with good friends. Travis and I will be
painting somewhere in the club. Come find us and bring spankings and
kisses!
love to you all!

DETAILS: Sunset Promotions and the Fringe, the team that has brought
you such epic parties as "Freaksgiving" and the "Icebreakers Ball"
team up again for their third annual twisted take on the annual
Mexican holiday . It's "FREQO DE MAYO 2008"at its new location, Temple
Nightclub with an all-star cast of future world breaks, Latin, house,
electro and mashups that includes tech-hop legend Tipper. NYC
world-breakbeat pioneer Sabo (Sol Selectas-Turntables on the Hudson)
will update the Latin sound while Toronto's Phat Conductor and LA's
Ground Control provide a treatise on breakbeat. Midtempo acid crunk
will throb its way in through Antennae and Mozaic. And for the first
time ever, the entire Fringe DJ posse will appear under one roof,
including electro kidz Absurge and Victor Vega, eclectic beatslingers
Mycho Cocoa, Dylan "BLVD" Cahill and funk-mash-breaks killers Tim
Dietz, Big Dolla, and MoPo.
A description of Tipper ? What's the point? He never says a word
anyway. Nobody knows anything about him, apart from his music. So how
do we find out about this nearly translucent geezer from England? Go
see him at a show and he'll be standing on stage looking half-bored,
not moving nearly fast enough to be scratching like that, while he
blows the speaker cones to pieces and leaves everyone in the crowd
standing around with their jaws dropped. Try to catch up with him
after his set and he's already gone back to the hotel for sleepy time.
Hype and fluff about who he is and where he's been and what he's all
about doesn't do justice to his compositions or the impact they make
on those who hear it. So, we'll probably never know anything about
him, apart from his music, and if you listen closely enough over time
he hopes you'll understand everything he is trying to say.
The Phat Conductor is one of Canada's leading underground exports,
holding it down since 1995 with gigs as far as Switzerland, the U.K,
Burning Man, NY and the legendary Shambhala Music Festival in the
rainforests on British Columbia. His diverse style covers all genres
from Electro House, Techno, breakbeat, Hip-Hop, Dancehall, DnB &
IDM/Glitch. No matter what the venue, The Phat Conductor can suit his
style to the crowd and keep your dancefloor rocking. Throw loads of
original tunes and the fact that he works with live video into the mix
and you have a sure fire crowd pleaser.
Sabo production in the last four years has gained international
recognition and brought him to DJ in countries like Brazil, Spain,
Dominican Republic, Austria, Mexico, and Kosovo, as well as various
cities in the US. He has six EP releases on his own label
Sol*Selectas, two 12" releases on Wonderwheel Recordings, and a full
length album on the way in '08 for Irma Records in Italy, with
production partner Zeb. From Brazilian to Afrobeat, Disco to Reggae,
Hip Hop to Dub, Miami Bass to House, Latin to Techno, Sabo is known to
be locked into each style as if it were the only thing he's been
spinning for the past 10 years, and he flows seamlessly from one genre
to the next. He's been a special guest at Turntables on the Hudson
parties for the last 5 years, is an instructor at the Scratch DJ
Academy, and was nominated to URB magazine's Annual 'Next 100' in
2006.
MoPo (Motionpotion) is one of the country's foremost purveyors of
reinvented roots music, from nufunk to rocktronica to tech hop, MoPo
takes the stuff you know and supercharges it. AnTenNae (Get Freaky) is
an underground hero for his embrace of new styles including his own
signature "acid crunk" style. Mozaic (Raindance) has long been known
as a premier purveyor of cutting edge eclectic electronica. Ground
Control has quietly pushed himself to the forefront of LA's
underground breakbeat scene. Victor Vega and Absurge are the Fringe
crew's resident electro and minimal experts, Big Dolla and Tim Dietz
hold down the funk, breaks and mashups, while Mycho Cocoa and Dylan
Cahill (drummer for local power trio BLVD) simply can't be
categorized. The Fringe is a collective of nearly 100 people dedicated
to pushing evolutionary music on an unsuspecting public. For three
years straight, the Fringe has hosted marathon soundsessions at the
Burning Man Festival and has hosted numerous parties in the Bay Area
to support their artistic habits. Fringe painters perform at most
events and have shown off their work at various local art shows.
This is a 21+ event.
Cost: 15
