Dance.Here.Too: Mario Calegari and Horse Meat Disco

Benny Soto and Robpromotions have brought us two huge bangers for th next coming weeks as a party of their Saturday residency Dance.Here.Too. If you haven't come out of your crisis shelter since the oil leak, DHT is the city's premier weekly for all varieties of house and techno. The below parties are 21+.

August 7, 11pm (TICKETS HERE)
Mario Calegari was a house addict on the New York and New Jersey scene before realizing his innate talent for production and DJ'ing. Not long after indulging his creative impulses did he find himself working alongside staple house legends such as Danny Tenaglia, DJ vibe and Victor Calderone. One of the originators of "Dark Samba," Calegari draws his sound from modern electronica as well as his musical heritage.

August 14, 11p (TICKETS HERE)
Horse Meat Disco is a DJ collective operating out of Eagle London, who specialize in fringe disco for the lifers. Heavily endorsed by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), they dig deep into the specialty forms of dance music, heavily featuring dub, italo and electro-funk. They declare themselves ““the queer party for everyone: homos and heteros, club kids, bears, fashionistas, naturists, guerilla drag queens and ladies who munch.” Severino and Filthy Luka will be the headliners, and DHT has also brought in international disco sensation Daniel Wang and veteran production/crate-digging prodigy DJ Spun (Rong).

COMING ATTRACTIONS: Que Bajo, Choice Cunts, Afrojack footage

Chico Mann is tonight's special guest at Que Bajo! The cumbia and tropical bass weekly goes down every Wednesday at 11pm.

Afrojack took over the Dance.Here.Too residency (every Saturday at 11pm) for techno and house music last week. The Martinez Brothers will be headlining this week (6/19/2010).

Thanks, Shonjonn!

CHOICE CUNTS
After a couple of years packing out Brooklyn hot spots and growing Choice Cunts into the most talked-about gay residency in the city, Ellie Conant moved her monthly party to downtown Manhtattan’s Santos Party House in early 2009. Not one regular was lost in the process, in fact the party grew its size and notoriety thanks to the ample space and the premium audio visual systems in the venue. The masses are now taking notice; The Village Voice has been installing monthly online slideshows by Maro Hagopian, the Choice Cunts resident photographer, highlighting the intense revelry and diverse crowd of fierce women in the room.

Choice Cunts has made a point of featuring emerging queer talent and DJ’s, including Little Body and the Big Sound, DJ Huckwild, Jane Bang and DJ Soozee. Gogo dancers and celesbian bartenders are also in the mix, alongside notable attendees that have included Chloe Sevigny and Kim Stolz. Is not just a lipstick lesbian shindig, as nearly every end of the gay spectrum is represented, earning the party the 2010 GO Magazine award for Most Eclectic Crowd. On June 26, for Gay Pride Week, the party is moving to the upstairs level of the Party House, partnering up with numerous sponsors and has taken on downtown legend as a headlining DJ.

PRINCESS SUPERSTAR
Philadelphia native and nothing short of a hip-hop pioneer, Princess Superstar displays the skill and originality that makes it impossible for her imitators to fill her slippers. A veritable factory of progressive and sexually liberated sound, Princess Superstar fills the role of rapper, producer and DJ, flawlessly executing each responsibility with a distinct style. Fugazi samples mix with disco and house beat constructions resulting in a sound that defines the modern disco scene below 14th street. Her rap style is dense, earning her more comparisons to the likes of MF DOOM and Eminem than other participants in the rising tide of girl rap whose style is more style than substance. She has worked with club legends like Arthur Baker, Larry Tee, Junior Sanchez, Todd Terry, as well as stalwart hip-hop legends Grandmaster Flash, Kook Keith, MC Paul Barman and DJ Mighty Mi. At the Choice Cunts 3rd Annual Pride Party she will grace the wheels of steel in the name of counterculture everywhere.

Plus resident DJ Lesbian Van Halen, special guest DJ Huckwild, and the impeccable dj duo Sir Yes Sir
