George FitzGerald @Cameo Gallery, 5.24.13

London-based producer George FitzGerald straddles the lines between house, garage and bass, masterfully marrying contrasting styles together to create a sound that is distinct to his style. The genre-defying FitzGerald built his name on the scene as a co-promoter of Man Make Music, the London party that has been showcasing a little bit of everything since its inception back in 2007. With releases on Hotflush, Aus, and his own imprint, ManMakeMusic, his productions combine both the warmer, melodic sides of house and garage with the more heated, pounding drum patterns of dubstep and techno, all with exceptional style and grace. FitzGerald’s hallmarks are evident in his measurement, his unmatched awareness of light and space and his use of searing chord lines.

FitzGerald was recently featured on BBC Radio One’s Future Stars of 2013 Essential Mix series, amongst the likes of Perseus and Jonas Rathsman, Duke Dumont, which is included above. Towards the end of the mix you can hear some of his productions that made him a well known name here at OXD such as the massive hit ‘Child,’ and his glittery remix of Jessie Ware’s ‘No To Love.’

Earlier in the evening we’ll be at Escort’s live show at Music Hall of Williamsburg. After an evening of classic and modern disco, FitzGerald’s blend of house, garage and bass will keep us dancing through the night.

Mighty Mouse @Cameo Gallery, 2.23.13

UK-based musician Mighty Mouse might be world renowed for his productions and remixes but he considers himself a DJ first and foremost, taking pride in his uncanny ability to seamlessly blend multiple genres spanning many decades. While that’s of course noteworthy, we have to admit it’s his insatiable appetite for disco that has us most excited for his upcoming New York appearance.

We were sad to hear Hurricane Sandy thwarted his visit to Le Poisson Rouge last November, but luckily the Mouse is coming to Cameo Gallery later this month. He will be joined by Fixed resident DJs JDH and Dave P, and we’re inviting the gays to come and help us Occupy the Disco and show our favorite Mouse some NYC love.

We first heard of the man with his haunting Balearic Disco remix of Beyoncé’s ‘Smash Into You,’ and since then went on to discover remixes he did of the likes of Kate Bush, Madonna, Monarchy, Moonlight Matters and more.

In addition, Mighty Mouse’s Disco Circus compilations have gained critical acclaim as they combine disco old and new, house, techno and 80’s rarities.

So let us know you’re coming by RSVP’ing on our Facebook Event Page, and don’t forget to get your tickets as the event will sell out quickly. See you there!

Joakim & Jacques Renault @Cameo Gallery, 12.21.12

As an early holiday gift, Cameo Gallery is bringing us a double-header with DJ prodigies Joakim and Jacques Renault. We have been fans of both artists for some time and have not had the chance to see either spin live, so this should be a real treat.

Joakim is a French native with a background in classical music, who inadvertently discovered electronic music when a friend left a synthesizer in his room on campus at university. He played around with jazz samples, post-punk and disco to create his signature sounds. With a few albums of his own under his belt, including his most recent Nothing Gold, Joakim also has an extensive remixography of his own. He’s worked with artists like Goldfrapp, Fischerspooner, Cut Copy, Tiga and Friendly Fires, to name a few. Joakim’s diverse musical background and appreciation for such a broad array of music translates to noteworthy and dynamic live DJ sets – something we can’t wait to hear live.

NYC nightlife staple Jacques Renault has made a splash in the downtown dance scene over the past 10 years, with residencies at famed venues like Happy Endings, APT, Tribeca Grand and 205 Club. Whether it’s planning dance parties of his own, remixing tracks from artists like Midnight Magic and Ladyhawke, or producing original tracks of his own (for the likes of DFA records and Future Classic), Renault certainly has kept busy in his tenure in New York. We especially love his remix of Midnight Magic’s ‘Beam Me Up’, which was featured on Future Disco Vol. 4: Neon Nights and brought the band international acclaim. With a disco sensibility and love for dancing, we are sure Renault will turn it out along with Joakim for an unforgettable night.
