Party Post : Treasure Fingers

Dallas, are you ready for more disco? Of course you are. (I'm imagining a raucous chorus of whoops and "yeah!"'s here.) Well good news. This Wednesday, Treasure Fingers, Atlanta's reigning filter king (actually, he might be the US' to be quite honest) is making a stop in The Big D. Last time he came through town, about a year ago when he played Lizard Lounge, the turnout was criminal. Let's not have that happen again, eh? I caught him a few months ago in Paris, and his set was absolutely fantastic; thus I can guarantee you Wednesday is going to be a good time. Nay, an excellent time.

The best news about this event is it's free if you're 21+. Actually, the best news is that Treasure Fingers is going to be in our city...so the second-best news is that it's free.

Check out the Facebook invite and RSVP here.

Prep yourself with a couple remixes, and be sure not to miss the show!

Love In Motion

Here's something we've been waiting for for a while. A new track off of SebastiAn's upcoming debut LP was just premiered last night on the BBC's Radio 1. Here's a radio rip of the new single, titled Love In Motion, courtesy of the French blog SeekSickSound. Featuring soulful crooner Mayer Hawthorne on vocals, it's deep funk bass line, filtered guitars, and overtly sexual Prince-esque vocal colorations make it perfect baby-making music. Yeah, this is sexy. Between Embody and now this, it seems as though this upcoming album, Total, out May 30th on Ed Banger, will be everything we hoped for...and perhaps even a bit more.

Embody

I'm a few days late, but here is the better-than-expected (read, amazing) new single from Ed Banger's SebastiAn, Embody. Though his remixes have been stellar, after the questionable (read, kind of boring) solo showing on the Let the Children Techno compilation, there were worries that his long-awaited debut album was going to be a bit of a disappointment. The release of Embody has proved that those worries were horribly misplaced. The song, a glorious piece of downtempo filter house (filter funk?), is true to the old-school SebastiAn while remaining firmly rooted in today--it's an homage to house's honored years gone past while remaining wholly modern. Plugging along at 105 BMP, it grooves and swoops, decorated with a sexy funk bass line. This isn't the type of music you're going to lose your cool to, it's the kind you use as the soundtrack to your freshest-feeling moments. The accompanying video, directed by SO ME--who is arguably the most consistent of all the Ed Banger artists--wholly embodies this freshness. This kid, whoever he is, is the flyest kid on the block. Or your girlfriends block, or your best friend's block, or your cousins block, or your grandma's block or hell...anywhere.



The Embody EP is out April 4th (big, big day for Ed Banger it seems). SebastiAn's debut album, Total will follow on May 30th.

It looks like there's been takedowns, and since I'm not one of the lucky few to have been sent a promo copy (powers that be, please get me on that list), I'm not going to illegally host.
