Chip Chop – Launch Blank

February 6, 2010

chipchopPortland, Oregon-based glitch hob step slayer Graintable and Tahoe-based producer & drummer AD/AM have joined up to drop a five-track ep under the name CHIP CHOP through Run Riot Records on February 2nd. Duo is warming up the masses for the gutter soul onslaught with a free download of their Launch Blank single.

From the guys:

On 02.02.10 live electronics duo CHIP CHOP pop off the blast doors with LAUNCH BLANK – five tracks of broken-neon, gutter soul from Portland-based producer Graintable and Lake Tahoe-based producer & drummer AD/AM. This highly anticipated release captures the heat Chip Chop delivers in their live performance: labyrinthine melodies and warping pads over gritty sub threats, all rotating around hooks so subtly white hot you’ll be spitting charcoal when you whistle the filthy synth days later.

Good look, guys.

The Last Gadjo Disko

January 27, 2010

gd last web 222Not just one of the most interesting monthlies Austin has had the privilege to indulge in, the Gadgo Disko parties showcase some of the most interesting and amazing parts of Austin art and nightlife culture. Angeleska, Mack, and Chelsey throw one hell of a party. But…. {insert tear}, it looks like this event will be the last.

From Angeliska:

The Last Gadjo Disko! It’s true, darlings… Come dance with us one last time – we will miss you! Thanks for all the love you’ve shown us! xoxoox OPA!

Where will I now go to get my fix of glitched out balken slavic hip-hop folk punk dubstep-esque beatness, dance floor marching bands, guys in tutus, girls in glowing hoops, and some of most amazing people in Austin congregated into place? Kind of freaking out here.

Going out in style, the group have upgraded venues to hold the last Gadjo Disko Eastern Bloc Party at La Zona Rosa on February 6th, 2010. Triple the capacity. We will do this!

Tickets are on $7 bucks for those 18 and up…. $15 if you want to play tourist and not bring yourself in true Gadjo Disko costume style. You can get the rest of the info at www.GadjoDisko.com. I need to be alone for while.

Comintern, Wino Vino, Franziska, Sick, and DJ Chicken Kiev will be holding the stage down with the ambiance of 100% recycled culture: immigrant punk, baile funk, kuduro slavic hip-hop, disko ethnoteka.

Angeliska… Mack… Chelsey… I want my Gadjo Disko.
