My new friends over at Electronic Austin are posting some great things regarding the ever-present, but admittedly grounded, electro-club scene here in Austin. "Club scene" obviously can have a particularly vague and ominous subtext. However, this site has found a way to circumvent faulty translation and misdirection, as well as avoid tiresome sub-genre categorizing: THEY DON'T POST SHITTY MUSIC.
Having said that, I now feel confident enough to humbly pass on their words of recommendation regarding some of the better live shows going on in town. Though such major events are few and far between, it is important to commend venues like Plush, Beauty Bar and Room 710, who churn out great dance parties on a weekly basis (depending on the spirit of its promotion).
One such event will be happening this Friday (11th) at Room 710. Dubstepper Caspa, from London, will be playing a set with residents DJ I/O, Innerlign and Tyrant. It's not to be missed, no matter your preferred escape, e.g. grime, minimal, prog-house, dubstep [Insert obscure, irrelevant sub-genre here].
You can pick up some old Caspa mixes here. Otherwise, I included a few other completely unrelated tracks here to help set the mood for the weekend or if you just want to hear some more amazing snap-clap digi-dancehall (legitimization on genre pending). Daedelus - Fair Weather Friends
Mathew Leutwyler - Jovencitas
Late of the Pier - Space and the Woods (Toxic Avenger remix)
