This being is SANTA SANTOS, the living spirit of New York City Nightlife.

Ishmael "Palaceer Lazaro" Butler, formerly "Butterfly" of Digable Planets, leads the collective, with cohorts Baba Maraire from Zimbabwe and Silk (aka Dougie). Their name is derived from Nation of Islam scriptures, and accordingly their agile and intricate rap lyrics have a pro-black bent, mixed in with abstract poetry that nods to Busdriver and Aesop Rock. Their production is bizarre, heavily effected, and eclectic by way of incorporating things like Indonesian gamelan and American soul. In 2009 they did a dual release of their <i>Of Light</i>/<i>Shabazz Palaces</i>, which won blanket praise. Three Imaginary Girls summed it up, "Both are essential purchases for those who remember exactly when hip-hop took over rock's legacy in universal pop art; and for those longing for a new chronicle based on the faithful elements of that genre." Their third album <i>Black Up</i> is slated for release June 28.</div><div><br /><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/22920255?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0" height="225" width="400"></iframe><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/theesatisfaction">THEESATISFACTION</a></div><div>With so much needless machismo infesting the ranks of hip-hop, many feel like a lot of talent has gone to waste, its transcendental potential stifled. The ladies in THEESatisfaction are the answer to this disappointment. Rather than tacking on superfluous gimmicks onto hip-hop's elements, they turn these techniques inward, manifesting the bizarre, psychedelic and polyrhythmic structures hinted at by RZA and J Dilla. Vocally, Lauryn Hill is recalled, with layered rhyme schemes and a smooth vocal tone that deliberately weaves in and out of the frenetic samples. Keep an eye on these two stoner chicks and an ear on their refreshingly strange sounds.</div></span>Zangiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804170514007692653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749181731863340960.post-90766885751576544392011-04-28T15:07:00.003-04:002011-04-28T16:00:37.965-04:00The Underground Rebel Bingo Club is nigh<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Underground Rebel Bingo Club<br />Saturday, April 30, 2011<br />8:00 PM 21+</span><br /><a href="http://rebelbingo.inticketing.com/events/146463">TICKETS HERE</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/?action=view&current=logo_big.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/logo_big.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="500" /></a><br /></div><br />We feel a little ripped off. We were told that the British consulate wanted to throw a party celebrating the royal wedding, ascots required, secret handshakes, pillaged remains, the whole nine. Instead, it becomes this insane, perverted take on bingo, which really doesn't need much more excitement, thank you very much. We were a little worried that this whole thing would be too frenetic for our club atmosphere, but a contract is a contract, even if we didn't understand it. In hindsight it was a pretty straightforward document, but we thought it was in the Queen's English.

This asshole Marketing Director tends to stoke out on hardcore and metal shows. Naturally, I've been excited to see <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);" href="http://trashtalkhc.com/"><span>Trash Talk</span></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>and <a style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);" href="http://www.myspace.com/off"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Off!</span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"> </span>for months. Even with a bum leg last time Trash Talk was here, singer Lee Spielman still ended up standing on our north bar setting it off.<br /><br />And as seen on the video below, dudes didn't exactly hold back this time around. Spielman sung and ignited pits in pretty much every corner of our beloved North Pole. And it ruled. While I got a little too twisted to stick around for Off! (I saw them 86 times at SXSW anyway), Trash Talk still blew my mind. Highlights included watching <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 255, 51);" href="http://rcrdlbl.com/"><span>RCRDLBL</span></a> head-honco and Santos' bro Elliot Aronow circle pit and fuck up his arm (prior to saying the phrase 'hardcore rules'), watching <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nick Zinner</span> get into <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cerebral Ballzy</span>, and feeling the effects of my bro Nick from <a style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);" href="http://www.myspace.com/alphaandomegahc"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alpha & Omega</span></a> stage dive on top of me at least 10 times.

At first, they present tightly honed punk chops with streetwise inflection, but the complexity these musicians have built over the years soon reveals itself upon second listen. Guitarist Dimitri Coats explains, "There's a dark sarcasm that's prevalent throughout his body of work and it fits with what we're trying to get across with our band." They formed in 2009 and in late 2010 released a compilation of their first four EP’s, with 16 tracks boasting just over a minute’s length each, true OG punk style.<i>Punknews</i> has gotten on board, saying “With 16-minute shows and 18-minute "albums," OFF! is reclaiming what can be absolutely great about punk rock. There's not a millisecond of wasted time, not a single wasted breath, not a single crack of the drums that doesn't drive the music forward.

But our birthplace is the woods, so that remains a part of us." Though the scant lyrics in the band's music are often obscured by gusts of haunting production, but the primary invocations of the paranormal, dark, and the isolated parts of the human here are startling vivid; the band's mythic history with drugs, depression and prostitution are merely inferred. Their beats are slow, menacing takes on inner city club music, house, dub, crunk and juke. Holland and his partners Heather Marlatt and Jack Donoghue share production and vocal duties, with neo-Romantic melodies infiltrating synth sounds from new wave and industrial electronica, all filtered through the band's close personal bond and profoundly dark worldview. <i>Cokemachineglow </i>extolled their 2010 debut full-length <i>King Night</i>, saying, "Salem evokes the seismic thrill of a good Gucci drop alongside all of Nico’s ghostly beauty within the very framework and timbre of their productions. The result is no less than one of 2010’s most exciting debuts."</div></div><br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IxfFYFw9OEw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Zangiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804170514007692653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749181731863340960.post-78759835209169351052011-03-04T17:20:00.004-05:002011-03-04T18:10:04.182-05:00MetroMix Win, Installation Featured in the New York TimesThanks to our incredible clientele of vicious partygoers, we have taken the big win for<a href="http://newyork.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/best-of-award/club/2402728/content"> MetroMix's 2011 Best of New York poll</a>.

It was the return of the Emergency Party — a kind of Warhol Factory meets a dive bar started by Parinaz Mogadassi, a curator, and Spencer Sweeney, one of Santos’s art-minded owners.<br /><br />Peter Doig, an abstract painter from Trinidad, colored the cinderblock walls in one corner in Caribbean pastels. The artist Rita Ackermann and Lizzi Bougatsos, a musician in the electronic group Gang Gang Dance, contributed paintings that hung in the upstairs windows, and remade an Ol’ Dirty Bastard track that played in the entrance.<br /><br />“People are trying to get back that ’80s thing where the art world and clubbing was synonymous,” said Matthew Higgs, the director of the White Columns gallery.<br /><br />By midnight, as a fog machine clouded the air and disco thumped, the club was packed with a raffish crowd that included a sprinkling of stars like Chloë Sevigny and MC Spank Rock.</blockquote></div><br /><br />More installations and accompanying parties to follow.

But with all due respect, none who have been branded as such can shred this well, and Stern possesses the finger-tapping acumen that Eddie Van Halen would envy. Her music runs the gamut in terms of emotional bent, but as a whole it is bright and uplifting, propelled by fleet polyrhythms and Stern’s playful lyricism. Pitchfork has said of her second self-titled LP released in 2010, “There's plenty here for musicians to analyze and dissect with envy, but first and foremost, this is an album for the body and the soul.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/teramelos">TERA MELOS</a><br />The mischievous and infinitely original nature of Tera Melos does not give easily to classification. Their harmonic sensibilities fit tenuously in the world of post-hardcore, but the phrasing of be-bop and the raw irreverence of punk are also very present in the music. And while most of their grooves don’t require a calculator, expect odd rhythms and whimsical time signatures to enter into the fray. The technical superiority of this trio is adds density to their music, making it infinitely relistenable, while allowing them to expand into heavier and/or stranger sonic territories. They’re currently hot off the heels of the release of their Zoo Weather EP, a compilation of original jams as well as remixes.<br /><br /><a href="http://headlesshorseman.bandcamp.com/">HEADLESS HORSEMAN</a><br />The profundity of Headless Horseman is in their ability to reveal the menacing in nearly every kind of music they explore in their psychedelic collage of styles. You’ve got your pop, folk, blues, dance and noise music all handled efficiently, with a healthy dose of the sinister underlying everything. Electronic trickery is the centerpiece of their sound, with guitars, drums and various acoustic appendages adding to the mix, all handled by Connor O’Neill and Fareed Sajan (Bottle Up & Go) .

Immortal memories were made at <a href="http://www.reopenedparty.com/">reOPENed</a>. Wild, unpredictable, unspeakable and mesmerizing things occurred under these epileptic lights and juggernaut speakers. It's true that all good things must come to an end, but all great things must end in an explosion. A handful of the people that have made New York City such an incredible place for music will be assisting reOPENed's platinum-selling producer residents. A-Trak, Clark Kent, Dje Premier, Evil Dee, Stretch Armstong and Tony Touch will join the normal line-up of superproducer Just Blaze, DJ Soul, DJ Gravy, Federation Sound's Max Glazer, and MC Micro Don. This invincible line-up of beatmakers, remixers and selecters will carry us off into even bigger and brighter things. You'd think the story's over but it's ready to begin.<br />
<br />
Party bio:<br />
Dubbed "Best DJ Night" at Paper Magazine's 4th Annual Nightlife Awards and nominated again this year [<a href="http://www.papermag.com/2010/09/sixth_annual_nightlife_awards_nominees.php" target="_blank">Best Party and Best DJ: Just Blaze and Max Glazer</a>], reOPENed has earned the reputation for being the most important Friday night in the Five Boroughs for the masses to get down. From movie stars to breakdancers to workplace warriors of every collar, the crowd is a beautiful and authentic representation of New York City's soul, and the music is engineered accordingly.<br />
<br />
Upstairs is <a href="http://themegatrondon2.com/" target="_blank">JUST BLAZE</a>, the multi-platinum producer and remixer who has laid tracks for Eminem's current release, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Beastie Boys, Mariah Carey, MF DOOM, Janet Jackson, Jay Electronica, Kanye West and many more. While his sets do feature plenty of classic hip-hop, less obviously he makes liberal use of house music, soul classics, electronic disco, and just about anything with a serious beat. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djsoulnyc" target="_blank">DJ SOUL</a> is at his side, stepping it up with some ecclectic selections adored by his crowd of music moguls and celebrites.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.djgravy.com/" target="_blank">DJ GRAVY</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/djmaxglazer" target="_blank">MAX GLAZER</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/micro.don" target="_blank">MICRO DON</a> establish the Friday night headquarters of Caribbean grooves in our downstairs level, spinning dancehall, soca, as well as classic reggae and reggaetronica. Max's track "Whine" with Jamaica's undisputed #1 artist, Vybz Kartel, is currently enjoying spins on Hot 97 while Gravy is effortlessly connecting the dots of global pop culture as founder and publisher of Largeup.com, the web's premier Caribbean Lifestyle site hosted on Questlove's Okayplayer.com. He also has a new mixtape called "Forever Summer" dropping soon.Zangiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804170514007692653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749181731863340960.post-42958161325518318942011-02-23T16:09:00.002-05:002011-02-28T17:38:57.378-05:00Chronic Youth keeps it heavy with Weedeater and Trapped Under Ice<b><a href="http://www.myspace.com/weedeater">Weedeater</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/asgmusic">ASG</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/naamdestroysfaces">Naam</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/cleanteethdirtyteeth">Clean Teeth</a></b><div><b>Thursday, February 24, 2011</b></div><div><b>7:00 PM ALL AGES<br /><a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3447375&pl=santos">TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/?action=view&current=022411Weedeater.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/?action=view&current=022411Weedeater.jpg" width="500" target="_blank"><img src="http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/022411Weedeater.jpg" border="0" width="500" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/?action=view&current=022411Weedeater.jpg" target="_blank"><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/oo161/santospartyhouse/?action=view&current=022411Weedeater.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; font-size: medium; "></span></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/weedeater">WEEDEATER</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; font-size: medium; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; font-size: medium; ">Weedeater sounds and feels like motor oil running through your veins.

Constructed of Krautrock riffs arranged into snappy downtempo grooves, their tracks achieve a subtle complexity by weaving together numerous influences, of which the band cites Can, Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin. The band came together in 2000 during a game of soccer football and their most recent upgrade was the addition of a live percussionist. Playful lyrics approaching dark subject matter are uttered by Davie Best, who claims, “I physically am unable to shout. It’s a medical condition.”<br /><br />Their 2011 album Ventriloquizzing is the bands newest evolutionary step, displaying a level of skill that fully and effectively utilizes the quartet format for deeper personal exploration. Best describes the band’s topical choices on the album, “Themes like control, frustration, disappointment, violence. It doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs when you say them out loud, but it’s not a depressing record.” Popmatters says the Ventriloquizzing “expands the band’s palette” and “may be Fujiya & Miyagi’s best album to date.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.projectjennyprojectjan.com/">PROJECT JENNY, PROJECT JAN</a><br />Jeremy Haines and Sammy Rubin are masters of sonic disguise, using their production prowess to create an extremely diverse repertoire of jams completely disembodied from physicality or genre. Most of their songs are danceable with cheeky lyrics and labyrinth beats but the similarities end there. Gothamist remarked, “This is a band that should be taken seriously, even while singing about homemade sex tapes and the Chinatown bus."Zangiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804170514007692653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749181731863340960.post-69336036393886187992011-02-21T18:25:00.004-05:002011-02-21T18:28:50.644-05:00Emergency Is ComingNew promo video for the launch party of our <i><a href="http://santospartyhouse.blogspot.com/2011/02/peter-doig-innaugurates-somebody-arted.html">Somebody Arted In Here!</a></i> series.

Sweeney’s aim is for the art displayed at Santos to reflect the spirit of creative freedom that is associated with the club. “Somebody Arted In Here!” is the next evolutionary step for Spencer’s ongoing vision of a living art statement - a tradition he began with a weekly underground party called “Sessions” in Santos’ downstairs space. This series eventually mutated into the “Emergency Party,” Sweeney’s legendary late night DJ dance party produced in tandem with some of New York’s most innovative visual and conceptual artists.<br /><br />With the maiden installation of “Somebody Arted In Here!,” Sweeney extends an invitation to painter Peter Doig, a native Scotsman raised in Trinidad and Canada. His exclusive installation for Santos Party House is entitled “Basement Bacchanal” and is influenced by Caribbean wall treatments. The piece will be divided into sections according to the placement of the Santos cinder-block walls. Doig will also be DJing at the launch party on February 26 at 11pm, alongside </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style=";font-family:";color:black;" >Brian Degraw </span></b></span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;color:black;" >of Gang Gang Dance, </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span style=";font-family:";color:black;" >Thomas Bullock </span></b></span><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;color:black;" >of A.R.E.

He is one of the most sought after contemporary artists (with paintings fetching auction prices of over 10 million dollars). Santos is pleased to have Doig on board for the first iteration of this new artist project. To commemorate the ‘Bacchanal Basement,” Doig will be compiling a limited-edition Soca mixtape CD with his own cover art design, that will be distributed, free of charge, to the first 300 launch party attendees.<br /></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:100%;color:black;" >“Somebody Arted In Here!” is a convergence of visual art, music, and movement, as executed by the most innovative and capable minds in those fields. New York City thrives on the creative energy of these individuals, and Santos Party House is proud to give their work a living and breathing home - something beyond, beneath, and besides a museum or traditional gallery. In addition to his work at Santos, Spencer Sweeney is currently presenting the ongoing installation “The Museum of Spencer Sweeney” at Gavin Brown’s Pantyhose in New York.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"> </div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div></div><br /></div>Zangiefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03804170514007692653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749181731863340960.post-57915658562121648442011-02-02T16:56:00.005-05:002011-02-05T16:30:14.280-05:00Diamonds Are Forever 5: Rich Medina, Spinna and more put it down for the J Dilla Foundation<span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">Rare Form presents<br /><b>Donuts Are Forever 5: Rich Medina, DJ Spinna, DJ Parler, OP!, Sam Champ, DJ Chela, DJ Tara</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><b>Saturday, February 5, 2011<br />10:00PM 21+</b></span></div><div><b>Tickets available when doors open</b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.rareformnyc.com/img/flyers/santos_DAF5_020511.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:" width="500" src="http://www.rareformnyc.com/img/flyers/santos_DAF5_020511.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /></span></div>James Dewitt Yancey, known to music lovers as J.
