Big Dipper

what this flyer is trying to say is, if you go to this party and hear Mike Genius and Boy Boy spin, you will either become a Parisian sailor boy living it up on a shore night or a dashing lady of the night who has finally found her long lost love. Either way its in the stars.

this remix/remake of crystal waters gypsy woman will point you in the right direction.

T.B.D. is located at 224 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This is happening FRIDAY MAY 8 and will continue monthly...:)

Gypsy Woman (Mike Genius remix)

T.B.D. is a 2500 square foot lounge in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. As described on their website they have 12 beers on tap and free Wifi.

This friday there will be a sweet party there featuring a few of my favorite Brooklyn producers. Dre Skull, Krames, and Mike Genius.

The party is called the big dipper, and to get there, basically you have to follow the north star. if you have trouble finding the north star, just look for the big star coming off the handle of the big dipper up in the night sky. I know, its hard to do when you are on the G train, but some challenges aren't meant to be overcome.

T.B.D. is located at 224 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. If you can't follow the stars, here's mapquest.

enjoy these mp3s from the afore mentioned artists in the meanwhile:

Flying Saucer Tai Chi - Mike Genius

Gone Too Far feat. Sizzla (Buraka Som Sistema Remix) - Dre Skull

Sick Wit It - DJ Krames

GET FREAKING DIGITAL

Crushed Records is dropping "Get Digital," A song about the digital world featuring the King of Wobble Rap, Leif. And, yes, we did it for the lulz.

The original song has been chopped and screwed and funneled into the commercial world for this G1 commercial. So go sign up for T-Mobile and get a G1 Google Phone. Mention Purple Crush and you get...... probably a polite blank look from the rep....there is no Purple Crush discount. Yet.

But thats just the capitalist cherry on top of the remix sunday (get it?)....

We got these big ballers to contribute to the mayhem: Ben Mono, Udachi, Boody B & Mahzda, Mike Genius, and the ever artistic Jimmy Edgar. Also, big thanks to Johnsville for his amazing painting on the cover. He is a serious talent.

And since everyone who is on the internet suffers from at least a mild case of ADD, we made a mashup of the entire EP in one lil song. ENJOY.

Buy the EP: [iTunes] [Beatport] [Amazon]

The Pull Out Method - Beauty Bar NYC

Did you know there are Beauty Bars all across the states? I personally have been to (and played at) the ones in LA, Austin, and Las Vegas. This will be the first time I ever set foot in the NYC location which is reportedly the HQ.

If you have ever read this blog you already know Purple Crush and Mike Genius, but you may not know who Ladybox is:


Thats them there. They are whats known as a Girl DJ Duo Who Are From Somewhere Exotic Like Denmark. They may hate me for saying that but i am an American Boy™.

Irony aside, Rita and Lei are about the coolest people ever. They are excellent dj's (dead serious) and interesting producers as well. They are also Xtremely Involved with the Art Rebels, an All Girl Artist Collective® out of Copenhagen. Sick ass shit.

They are also fam with Boody B from Palmsout, the Fagget Fairies (of Samo Ti fame), and Copyfokking.

the pop bitch's corner, "top friends...."

its been a busy week over here at the crushed community: a new blog, mike g's release and subsequent release party (go by his ep at turntable lab!!!), learning final cut pro for the "busy boys" video, gathering the remixes for the "busy boys" and "get digital" remix eps, and with everything going on in the world, i feel like my heads gonna explode....

to start, sarah "witch huntin" palin (go hide the crystals!) is using her "re-programming" on the minds of amerrricans and its....terrifying.

the government owns the stock market, and myspace is not in our top friends anymore. im sure you all know by now that myspace is set to become a digital distribution outlet for the major labels...and when the new music players arrived last week (on the day mercury went into retrograde, mind you) everyone's plays disappeared. one by one, artists with major deals and millions of plays got their pages in order long before the little guys.

it makes sense, scratch the backs of those you'll be making the most money from....so say goodbye to the outlet that jump started DIY careers and revolutionized the music industry, and expect pop-up adds for the jonas brothers and all kinds of perks out of reach to the independents. you may have noticed that this week everyone got a 2-6000 play bump....hmmm, reminds me of the $600 tax rebate some people got....but the pop bitch says...be warry, be veeerrrry warrry. its like the 700 billion dollar buy out. it may seem like things get better cause gas will get cheaper and the dollar will rise, but things are going on at a very deep, very hidden level, that will, no doubt, fuck you and me in the ass somehow.

its time to move away from myspace. word on the streets here in NY say that local heroes are working on a solution, the new outlet, word on that later...now go start a blog and rebuild that website...

on that note, i leave you with a purple crush remix of "top friends", a track by the machine drum produced artist, gidget sparks.....i think i sound like roxy cottontail on my verse......holler!

"top friends" - gidget sparks (purple crush remix)

Mike Genius Release Party, Girls and Boys, Famous Friends, The Black Kids

I live in NYC. Well, Brooklyn to be exact.  Off the A train deep in.  So sometimes you have to figure out if its worth it to go out at night.  Last night, went out to see some fam dj in the west village.  Getting there? a bitch.  Getting home? End up witnessing the mother of all girl fights waiting for the train.  I'm talking 2 chicks fighting over another other chick.  I'm talking a big ass dyke causing major damage to a J*Davey looking skinny girl over another girl in a sundress (its october mind u).

I'm talking some asian guy trying to help out by hitting the big girl over the head with a frying pan he was carrying, to no effect.  I'm talking blood, alot of it. Cell phones and wallets (and frying pans) kicked into the track.  And it just didn't stop till the cops came and we got on the train.

But enough of that.  Tonight will be better because its going to be an insane party at Arlo & Esme's for the Famous Friends Girls and Boys Party with Mike Genius (his release party!!!), Purple Crush (DJ set),  and The Black Kids DJ set. RSVP at going.com and bring your frying pan for the ride home.

Yello - Oh Yeah (Mike Genius Remix)

The Cars - Let the Good Times Roll (Mike Genius Remix)
