4.17 – Beni @ Slap & Tickle

A few months ago, GDD launched the first Slap & Tickle at Miami’s favorite underground dance venue  The Electric Pickle. Every Tuesday, the lure of $2 tequila shots and deep grooves swept through the city and manifested itself into one steamy dance party. Tomorrow night, we pick up the pace with Australian headliner BENI. Affiliated with Modular and Bang Gang imprints, his unique brand of house and techno was a shoe-in for our debut headliner. We kick things off tomorrow at 10pm with residents Troy Kurtz, Pirate Stereo, and Santiago Cabellero. Tickets will be $10 at the door. Click here for more info.

MIA: Who’s Got The Funk @ Grand Central 3.8.12

In trying to keep up with the boys out in LA, I’ve been busy in trying to organize more GDD events in Miami. Our weekly Slap & Tickle party on Tuesday’s at Electric Pickle has become quite a hot little dance party (maybe in part to $2 tequila shots) that’s encouraged me to get some more events happening. On Thursday, GDD teams up with the good folks at Poplife, Super Music Group, and Grand Central to bring you two rooms of good vibes. Amtrac and Brass Knuckles will be headlining the main room, and I’ll be headlining upstairs in The Garret, debuting a bunch of new stuff I’ve been trying to finish before WMC. The show is 21+ and starts at 11pm. Pick up pre-sale tickets here.

We’re proud to announce that GDD has teamed up with The Electric Pickle in Miami to launch our weekly Tuesday night party called Slap & Tickle, which launches tomorrow night at 11pm.

Check out the promo mixes that residents Pirate Stereo, Santiago Caballero, and myself have curated.  We look forward to meeting our MIA GDD fam tomorrow (PS NO COVER!)

MIA: Danny Marquez at Arkadia 2/10

The Space Ibiza resident DJ Danny Marquez drops into Miami for set at Arkadia in the Fontainebleau Hotel tonight for the weekly Disco Sh!t party. The Spanish DJ has held residencies all over Ibiza, and launched his big room house imprint ‘F1rst Records’ in 2011. I’ll be supporting the veteran house DJ tonight once the doors open at 10pm. Here’s my latest mix to get you fired up for the weekend.

Defected Set to Release In The House Miami ’12

With the Miami Winter Music Conference approaching, Defected Records will release their annual In The House Miami compilation this month.

Defected launched the Miami-focused In The House series in 2006, beginning with an edition mixed by label boss Simon Dunmore. Since then they’ve put out a new mix in the lead-up to the WMC each year. For In The House Miami ’12, Defected have enlisted Danish DJ and producer Noir, Treasure Fingers and Franky Rizardo. The latter two artists lean toward the more pop-friendly end of the spectrum, while Noir adds a comparatively underground flavor to the package with tracks from PillowTalk, Tevo Howard and his own hit with Solomun, “Around.” 

Catch the tracklist after the jump.

Troy Kurtz: Feb 012 Arkadia Promo Mix

After barely surviving a week at the LA GDD penthouse, I had to get back to work and curate a mix for my Friday night residency at Arkadia in Miami. Arkadia is quickly becoming one of the premier house music venues in Miami, and I’m stoked to be on board. Tonight I’ll be warming up for EDX, along with a special guest from the West Coast who has been known to start some riots. For more info about upcoming events or ticket sales, click HERE.
