I love supporting folks from my hometown, especially when they're actually really talented. DC-based producer/dj
Nacey hit us up with his remix of Major Lazer's "Hold the Line". If you don't know Nacey, he's part of the hot
Nouveau Riche crew with
Gavin Holland and
Steve Starks.
Nacey's remix of the Lazer tune is a slower and darker jam but keeps Santigold's great Mr. Lexx's vocals intact.

Going.com now in more cities, including Philly and DC
Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, I was down in DC for family stuff and in Philly for my cousin's graduation. It seems like a perfect time as I've just gotten back to New York to post about Going's new site and featured cities.
If you're not familiar with Going, its basically an events-listing social-network website. Promoters or users post events and can host guestlists and invite friends. It opened up first as "HeyLetsGo.com" and changed its name to "Going.com" shortly after. Started in Boston, its spread like wildfire, and nowadays most underground events in New York City thrive from the website. You can find anything to do thats edgy and fun, mostly for free, on the site. We here at Subdrive love the site's great design and alway-improving features and the LAWLESS events, such as THE BBQ on May 31st, are always posted on Going.
I was at an Art opening in DC and mentioned the site to folks, who responded to me with blank stares like "What the hell is Going?". Who knows, maybe DC's art scene and burgeoning underground dance scene could make some great use of Going. If you're in DC May 31st, go see MSTRKRFT at 9:30 Club, presented by
BlissPop, and
hosted sponsored by the site
Brightest Young Things (thanks CityPaper!).
