Radio Slave, otherwise known as Matt Edwards, toils among the techno proletarians of Berlin. He runs the Rekids label and makes hallucination-evoking, bass-burrowing dance-floor tunes that would never get played on the radio here. One prime example, “My Bleep,” clocks in at nearly six and a half minutes of machinist…

Churchill’s seems to be humming along with renewed energy thanks to the semirecent addition of booker Nayra Serrano. Under her watch, the venue (finally!) got an updated website, an up-to-date online schedule, and a slate of shows by an increased number of touring bands, with overall greater quality control. This…

Dirty South’s methodical mixing skills can be traced to the DJ’s humble beginnings. He was born Dragan Roganovic in Belgrade, Serbia, and the encroaching unrest in then Yugoslavia sent his family packing to Melbourne, Australia, when he was 13 years old. Already a budding music nut, young Roganovic began taping…

Let’s put to rest the age-old question of what happened to Elvis. He was reincarnated in Puerto Rico as Latin pop phenom Chayanne. Forget the chronological conundrum posed by the fact that the latter was born before the King died. For Exhibit A, just look at Chayanne. Where else have…

Still, the group maintains a serious party in the back…

It gives us hope when bands from the all-ages circuit try for something other than faux death metal and helium-powered pop-rock. That’s why we’re stoked on Totally Nebular, a local three-piece that met three years ago in high school but bonded over a love of electronic-tinged psychedelia rather than Warped…

For true house music aficionados, Chuck Love needs no introduction. For going on two decades the long-standing scene veteran and renaissance man has juggled the roles of disc jockey, video jockey, multi-instrumentalist producer, vocalist, label head, and all-around musical evangelist, spreading the joys of classic soulful house on labels like…

Grand Central is on fire ever since it celebrated its official opening. Regular weekly parties on Friday and Saturday nights are bustling (it seems aiming for a lower age restriction of 18 was particularly wise), and a number of live performances keep getting added to the line-up.Last week we announced…

Churchill’s seems to be humming along with a renewed energy lately, thanks to the semi-recent addition of booker Nayra Serrano. Under her watch, the venue (finally!) got an updated web site, an up-to-date online schedule, and a slate of shows by an increased number of touring bands, with an overall…
