San Francisco

Being that it is where I’m from, you should all know that GDD loves Colorado. Especially its unique taste in music genres and the epic EDM groups that have come out of there over the years; SAVOY and Pretty Lights just to name a few. However, there is a new presence to be aware of coming straight out of Boulder, CO known as Robotic Pirate Monkey. Formed in early 2010, R.P.M. consists of the B-Town trio of Matt Berryhill, Matt Flesher and Andrew Hathaway (aka. Hathbanger). Since forming R.P.M. has grown their fan base from local to statewide, as the next big up and comers on the Colorado electronic music scene and now they have the chance to prove their weight in the Golden State. For six weeks in May and June, R.P.M. will be cruising around the great state of California, bringing their Rocky Mountain bass to the West Coast. With opening support from THiCK CHiCK and Skywalkerr, R.P.M. announces their Buried Treasure Tour with 12 stops along the West Coast (including a stop at our VERSUS party on the 19th of May) – check ‘em out below:

Fresh off of massive performances at Ultra and SXSW and prepping for an equally massive US tour, ZEDS DEAD have gotten love from everyone from BBC Radio 1′s Kissy Sell Out to GQ Magazine to Much Music (Canada’s MTV, remember?) while maintaining the signature raw energy of their live shows alongside the elegant brutality of their productions.

You’ve been chomping at the bit on our GDD Facebook since we announced this release, so without further ado it is my distinct pleasure to present to you ZEDS DEAD – 1975.  Full track download, tour dates and a video of Christiano Ronaldo’s righteously (ridiculously) sexy Russian girlfriend Irina Shayk grinding dirty to the track in her intimate wear.  Seriously…

SAN FRANCISCO! I am pleased to announce that our friends at Our House Records will be putting on yet another electrifying night in the City on April 30th at 330 Ritch with the one and only, Felix Cartal. OHR artists Realboy will be there for support as well as Bay Area residents, Dynamics. Now, for those that have never seen Felix play out before, this is a STRONG recommendation from yours truly to see the man at work. For those that have seen him before and might think that he’ll play just another Electro set, I strongly disagree. I was lucky enough to catch Felix’ closing set at Nikki Beach at No Sugar Added in Miami last Friday, and I can solidly state that he was the most on-point I have ever seen him, not to mention the GIANT new bombs that he dropped on the sweaty 4:30AM crowd. Take it from me, you will not be disappointed. Buy tickets HERE now!

And if you haven’t already, check out these monsters that Felix will unleash on ya…

SAN FRAN!
Get ready this Friday because GDD will be invading the Bay Area to bring you some of the dirtiest noise to blast out of the FunktionOne sound system @ Vessel. Wreck the Disco and BLAP productions bring you Lip Service – this time around welcoming Mexcali’s bad boys the DISCO VILLAINS, and your very own ///BONES to warm up the decks. Opening support will be local heroes Party Pat and DJ Dru. If that’s not enough to tickle your tweeker, I might just be bringing up a bunch of goodies for the true dirty dancers in attendance. Yes, I mean the illustrious GDD t-shirts and tanktops. Why is that a big deal? Because we’re almost sold out of everything we just got back in stock last week. So you better make an appearance if you know what’s dirty for ya. Peep the info out below and check out some of the major remixes coming out on the Disco Villains upcoming EP for the GDD highly approved anthem “Chiketere.”

I think I can speak for everyone in North America when I say I’ve just about had enough of the cold weather and am more than ready for some hot hot hot. Not just because the bikinis are busted out, but because with the warmth comes the festival season. To kickstart the season of massives, HARD Weekend starts next Friday the 11th in Oakland, sweeping down to LA on Saturday the 12th and then onto New York City for March 18th and 19th.

This week’s Fresh Meat Mondays post is a day late due to today’s release of the promo video for Hard Weekend. But, I think you guys will be happy with this specific giveaway. We have for you SMD‘s hit song “Cruel Intentions” respun by two of techno’s true legends; DJ Pierre, who many credit as inventing acid house, has remixed the track and John Digweed has put his own spin on it. Too much win.
