Tonight: MSTRKRFT and The Bloody Beetroots @ Webster Hall
Oh man, this weekend is going to be rough (in an awesome way!). First off, we're sponsoring an amazing party at Studio B on Saturday called DISCOVERY with Dirtybird's WORTHY (who we heard is gonna kill it), the Bunker's own Derek Plaslaiko, and support from more very awesome folks. But of course, there are seperate posts, so more on that in a little bit!!
I'm telling you that TONIGHT at Webster Hall, if you like your electro hard, distorted, bleeped up, and from the label Dim Mak, get your absolute fix tonight with MSTRKRFT and The Bloody Beetroots. It's going to be a huge, huge show and with a price at only $15 (advance), it's pretty good.
Interestingly enough, the Beetroots just released their new single "WARP" on Dim Mak a week ago or so. It's one of the few tracks that I've read up on sites that has actually gotten backlash. Interestingly enough, you never read any negative writeups on tracks. The sites usually focus on just posting what they consider the best, filtering out what they don't like. But hey, they still posted it and gave it an editorial critique. Negative or not, I think it's a nice change instead of having singular praise and I hope that honest opinions continue to crop up on sites all over.

The Toronto madmen, MSTRKRFT, are back with a new single, "Bounce", featuring N.O.R.E. (yep) and Isis from Thunderheist. Track is pretty great, guaranteed to make a party, well, you know.
You can download the track for free from RCRDLBL today. The single, alongside an 'extended' mix and Vuvuvu, is out now on Dim Mak and is available on iTunes in the high-quality Plus format.
I've got a firm belief that whenever these music marathons or industry showcases you should go to as many shows as you possibly can because lots of bands that normally don't come to perform show up in droves. Because there are a gazillion bands performing at the CMJ marathon, I'm highlighting the parties/shows that I think should not be missed. Each title is a link to the ticket/RSVP page, and has the pricing in bold. This little list will be updated up through CMJ.

You've probably heard of Kid Sister from the Kanye "Can't Tell Me Nothing" mixtape. She's rocking out the show with Mehdi and Kavinsky who are both excellent Djs from the now world-famous Ed Banger crew. Oh yeah...and don't forget DMC champion A-trak who just happens to also be Kanye's DJ.
New Young Pony Club, Muscles, Simian Mobile Disco (DJ set) - Studio B

MSTRKRFT, Z-Trip, Lazaro Casanova - Studio B
It's cool to see it mixed up with Z-Trip who's sets get people going nuts. I saw him spin on the Scratch tour back in 2003 where he retired his 45" records-only set here in NYC. Don't miss this! MSTRKRFT of course are the big boys of the scene right now so if you haven't seen them play out, here's your chance.
Best friends Matt and Kim and Flosstradamus are gonna throw down an awesome show on the 20th. If Justice isn't your thing you should definitely go see these guys. Matt and Kim are probably the happiest sounding kids you'll ever hear and Flosstradamus throws down amazing sets mixing with 3 tables no less! Don't Miss This!
