Tomorrow night we’re back for another evening at Le Poisson Rouge. It’s been quite a while since we all last played together, so you can expect a bunch of new tunes. We’ve also invited Steve Shakewell and Patrick Duckcomb of Sharegroove for a special guest set! Check out their appearance on A Downtown Affair for an idea of what’s in store.

As always it’s free, but to further sweeten the deal, we’ll be diving into some cake on the early side of the evening in celebration of my birthday.

Hey y’all – tomorrow night is the January edition of FineLine!

I’m pleased as punch to be joined by fellow LGS founder Mike McGill in The Kontrol Room. Should be a real smooth-type gathering – even the weather gods have granted us some karma after last month’s snowed-in fireside affair. Mike is “dusting off his r&b records” which is great to hear.

Its free as always! Come through and tell us about your big 2010 plans over a beer, while serenaded by tasteful tracks! Invite yourself on Facebook if you’re so inclined.

For this month’s FineLine, I’ve invited two good friends, who just so happen to be fantastic selectors.

Marty McSorley – a L.A. transplant who has found a new home in Brooklyn, and a time slot on WFMU. I’ve shared the decks with Marty before and am always pleased with the breadth of his picks. He even invited me on his show one time for a special 4 hours of cassettes only. He’s doin it for the children.

Champangne King (aka Jon Kirby) and I also did a brief stint together on the internet-airwaves when I was on the last few months of The Wax Poetics Record Rundown on East Village Radio. Jon is a funk forte, Carolinas say HO!

We’ll be getting loose in the front room, so come through, have a beer, and enjoy the crispy sound quality. Seriously though, the sound in that room is great; after last month I can’t wait to be back.

See you next Saturday!

I’ll be joining Steve ShakeWell and Duckcomb for a SHAREGROOVE party over at Tandem in Bushwick. Check out the guest mix they did on A Downtown Affair this past summer to get yourself in the mood… Expect deep flavors all night long!

We’ll be in the back room starting at 10pm.

Rockers Galore were kind enough to invite James Mulry and myself to play records with them this Saturday night. Seriously nice digs over Bushwick Starr, a spacious loft space replete with boudoir, roof deck, and a full soundsystem enclosing the dance floor. Hey, we’re even poppin’ off some bubbly to start, so arrive after treading the FINELINE in Williamsburg.

Tomorrow night I’ve invited Greg & Matt of RG and James for a special guest appearance on A Downtown Affair. 89.1FM to the outerzones of the Tri-state from 10:30pm-1:00am.

FineLine – A new monthly at The Kontrol Room @ Knitting Factory Brooklyn.

Resident DJ Bennett4$enate builds on a synth disco bedrock to display jams and gems of 808 electro, sweet stepping boogie, and drum machine r&b. With special guests each month, FineLine is a place for to DJs get loose with outsider sets, and for listeners to soak up the benefits.

Guaranteed to be a great place to have a beer and hear something new to you. The room is a bit lacking in the dance-floor department so I want to make this a night for DJs to go a little bit farther, bug it out, and play some weirdo tracks.

Luckily I’m joined by two DJs well prepared to do just that:
AMIR
…and if you don’t know, now you know. Amir (of Kon and Amir) brings the rarest of digs, always tasteful. Hopefully he’ll play some African joints off his upcoming BBE comp.

TACKLEBERRY
Let’s Get Serious’ own, half the menergy of A Downtown Affair. You know his disco, but he knows his Psych too, and has wiped the cat piss off enough local rap 12″ buried in the back of decrepit stores to have some mind-bending tunes.

Invite yourself on Facebook, come through, have a drink, and lets make this night a success so we can keep walking that FineLine!
