STREETLIFE DJs
SAT 30 MAY 2009
FASH, The Butter Factory
From Adonis to Frankie Knuckles, and Laurent Garnier to Beck, the list just goes on and on- you can always expect Streetlife DJs to drop unexpected classics during their DJ sets. Think Soulwax, Coldcut, Sasha and Digweed stuck in an elevator, and you’ve just about got an indication of their sound.
Streetlife DJs are Stewart Rowell and Louis Gaston. With more than 25 years of deck experience between them, they are best known for their disregard for music genres. With a very distinct UK edge, Streetlife DJs drop anything that works, and have been billed by DJ Magazine as ‘The UK’s very own 2ManyDJs’. Now that’s not such a bad comparison…
ENTRY TO FASH ON SAT 30 MAY 09:
girls – $21 , guys – $26 (includes 2 standard drinks)
What a friggin awesome night! Here’s some crazy pics, taken with an LC-A by our photog May Lin!
There is only one answer for the question: The Golden Silvers!
I don’t know if it’s the dreariness of the credit-crunch driven depression or the lack of self-worth from not working, it’s times like these when we all could do with a little cheer in our lives. Listening to these guys do just that.
Despite forming in 2007, this London-based trio has only released their debut album, “True Romance”, 2 weeks back. True romance indeed, because I have fallen in love with brit-pop all over again. The album kicks-off with their previously independently-released single, “Another Universe”. Pretty mellow at the start, but the piano-driven song has such a melodic chorus and brilliant dramatic end to it:
‘Now i feel my powers fading
As the blueprints and diagrams and history books hold me to their hip
and my limbs start trembling as my vision starts fading
and my spirit starts to slip
and i see them wave goodbye
their left hands were casting a curse
while singing songs of a paradise from another universe’
Underlying the Golden Silvers’ song-writing/playing style is the “doo-wop-ish” backing vocals that accompany Gwilym Gold’s distinctive laid-back vocals. In addition, the piano work done on their songs give off the same kind of vibe when you listen to your old Ben Folds Five records. All in all, the record has an excellent amalgamation of pop-ish, disco upbeatness and slow-mellow in the right proportions. I mean, how often can you listen to a record from start to finish these days – We would pick two songs from each of our favourite CD’s and put in an iTunes playlist, or if the you have the newer updated version, Genius does that for you.
Here’s To True ROMANCE!
