Well the blackoutBBQ are prepared to take off to the gorge to indulge in music, debauchery and good times.
Here in the circle of the barbecrew we strongly believe that “life is good, but it’s better in a costume!” so this year we will be doing pokemon themed costumes. So when you see that obnoxious group of individuals acting like pokemon and shrinking into pokeballs you’ll know.. it’s the barbcrew!
By FAR the best mix we’ve had on the Cocktail Hour!
Can you hear that blood curdling scream in the begining? Ya, thats me. Not in the recording of course, that’s silly. I’m made that noise right here in my office and you heard it from wherever you’re reading this from right now.
Did you guys think we could play another mix on a day as momentous as this? The ROBOTS ARE BACK! Lets play homage to one of the greatest mixes of all time.. Alive 2007
A-Trak is one of my favorite DJs for a so many reasons. He’s Canadian. He wears fedoras like, really well. He’s been the best scratch DJ in the world since he was 15. I’m not even exaggerating at all. You have to see it, I don’t know how he does it! It just sits up there super chill and not douchy at all.
Look at this guy.
He’s 1/2 of Duck Sauce. He runs the coolest record label, Fools Gold, which has signed the coolest artist.. Danny Brown, Chromeo, Tommy Trash, Flosstradamus, Kavinsky, just to name a few. He also runs this super weird and awesome YouTube channel with Diplo and Skrillex, POTATOwillEATyou.
Most importantly though, I saw him at a my first music festival in 2010. Back when I had no idea what kind of music I liked or what artists were my favorite.. I was just on an adventure. Then I stumbled into the dance tent and witnessed Trizzy scratching Robot Rock by Daft Punk. This. This is what its all about.
I cant WAIT to see him blow the roof off Celebrities tonight!! Get your tickets right hurr
Dillon Francis figured out the key to the internet: Cats and tacos. His rise in popularity has everything to do with this and his DJ awareness campaign alone and nothing to do with his music production abilities or DJ skills whatsoever.
Here is a couple remixes he did recently:
Clearly piggy backing off the more talented Passion Pit and Justin Timberlake, am I right?
Im going to his show on friday for the tacos and kittens he promises on twitter. I probably wont have any fun.
I went to the Major Lazer concert on Monday. Its a good thing I did too because at the time I didn’t even know that I needed a reminder on how to party. Diplo and friends know how to party. DAMN, they throw a good party! Definitely one of the wildest nights I’ve had in a while. Ive seen Major Lazer a couple times before but always at big shows or festivals. Its always been great but if you take that festival sized energy and pack it into an intimate club.. amazing!
Bonus clip from the show. Skerrit Bwoy retired so they have been pulling a random from the crowd for the daggering portion of the show haha
