ON THE FLOOR The biggest, the boldest, the best of May 2013… 3 4 5
SASHA ALBUM RELEASE PARTY PRESENTED BY LINK & MIAMI REBELS, STORY MIAMI, MIAMI, FL
SATURDAY JUNE 8 SASHA, MS. MADA
MAGDA AND BLOND:ISH AT EXCHANGE LA, EXCHANGE LA, LOS ANGELES, CA
SATURDAY JUNE 29 MAGDA, BLOND:ISH, ADAM AUBERN, DAVI
WHAT BETTER way for seasoned promoters Insomniac to kick off Inception, their new weekly party, than a set from your DJ’s favorite DJ, Magda. The Detroit raised DJ twists up styles without thought, and is guaranteed to pull some leftfield bombs from her Items & Things label out the bag. The May just gone saw Magda play her first set for Boiler Room as part of Detroit’s Movement festival, and seeing her name on a bill with legends Richie Hawtin and Stacey Pullen cemented her place as one of the city’s new crop of heavyweights. Support comes from UK based Canadians Blond:ish who have gone from strength to strength over the last couple of years, with releases on Kompakt and Get Physical, and an ongoing residence at Montreal’s mid week Cherry event, know for its “diverse freaks, organized chaos and Blond:ish’s genre defying sets…” Expect deep basslines and twisted psychedelic excursions into the furthest edges of house in the resurgent Exchange LA.

THERE ARE FEWDJs who inspire the rabid devotion of Sasha. Year in, year out, his fans undergo near religious experiences watching him play, and a look at the YouTube comments section on any video of the man in action reveals a level of love that verges on the terrifying. Who knows what’d happen if he ever turned to the murky world of political office. There’s a good reason Sasha, years into his career, still gets the props – he’s an astonishingly capable DJ. At Story Miami he’ll be launching the latest installment of his mix series, the critically well received ‘Invol<3r’. Whilst DJs round Sasha have been jumping on the current vogue for stripping house music back to a bare bones groove, he’s stuck to his guns with this latest mix, going in for the epic soundscapes, lush chords, long transitions and melodic sensibilities that he’s perfected over 20 odd years. He’s bound to come with a host of his own edits and remixes, and recently has been known to break in a new original production or two. Support on the night comes from Miami resident Ms. Mada. Mada’s one to watch, having spent the last three years breaking into the local scene with sets at Electric Pickle and Treehouse, and promises to bring bass heavy house and deep, bumpy techno to the party.

JUAN MACLEAN, KIM ANN FOXMAN & BLAKSHEEP AT MONARCH, MONARCH, SAN FRANCISCO, CA
SATURDAY JUNE 29TH JUAN MACLEAN, KIM ANN FOXMAN, BLAKSHEEP
IT’S A NIGHTof quality house music at Monarch. Headliner Juan Maclean leads the way with his DFA sponsored disco inflections. After a quiet few years, Maclean has burst back onto the scene, last month releasing eight minutes of blissful smoothed out house excellence in the form of ‘You Are My Destiny’. Taking in warm fuzzy chords, a typically discofied Nancy Whang vocal and some near perfect handclaps, ‘You Are My Destiny’ has been an instant hit, uniting DFA Record’s indie-ish fanbase with lovers of proper deep house. On the decks he’s been known to veer from bleepy electro to deep disco, letting the records speak for themselves. Kim Ann Foxman joins Maclean for more of the same – Foxman’s single ‘Creature’ from a couple of years back is still getting countless spins today, and her two albums of work with Hercules & Love Affair is as good a recommendation as you can get. Rounding out the bill are Blaksheep, an audio visual duo who were aligned with cult ‘90s crew Hardkiss. They’ve shared the decks with Derrick Carter, Todd Terje and Beats in Space amongst others and will be bringing an immersive sound and visual show to the Monarch.
