Electro weekend.
Posted by Leilani Polk on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 5:13 PM
Now in its 24th years, the Winter Music Conference brings industry professionals and electro acts from around the world to Miami for all manner of networking, panels and performance opportunities, from private parties to slots at WMC's Ultra Music Festival. Ultra continues with its usual roster of traditional DJs, producers and electronica acts -- The Prodigy, Paul Van Dyk, Booka Shade, Moby, Tiësto, Carl Cox and the like -- but expands upon the definition of electro music with offerings that include newer groups like Cut Copy, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco, Crystal Castles and The Whip, and groups that aren't necessarily electro, but include electro elements in their music: The Ting Tings, Bloc Party, Black Eyed Peas, Santigold and Hercules and Love Affair. Luckily for Tampa folks, the state is so oversaturated with this influx of artists that we get much of the runoff as many stop in or around town to play a show while on their way to or from the fest. The following is a breakdown of electro shows within a 2 1/2-hour radius that are worthy of your attention.
Friday, March 27
Kraak and Smaak w/Special Guest DJs Mighty White and Willyvegas Kraak and Smaak (direct translation: “crunchy and tasty”) are a new but rather well-regarded Netherlands electro trio that combines pimplicious funk grooves with breakbeats and loungey house. 9 p.m., Crowbar, Ybor City, $12 in advance/$15 day of show.
Cut Copy w/Matt & Kim The Melbourne, Australia trio marry Dark Wave punk (affected vocals, theatric synths) with a healthy dose of digi-electro dance fun. Definitely worth the drive. 7 p.m., Club Firestone, Orlando, $19.99 in advance/$22 DOS.
Creative Loafing
presents Sensory Overload 4.0 w/Eliot Lipp/Michna/Soft Rock Renegades CL’s multi-sensory art party, Sensory Overload 4.0, goes digital in its fourth year and in honor of the occasion, we’ve brought some pretty stellar electro artists on board to entertain. Glitch-hopping producer Eliot Lipp (pictured), who currently resides in Brooklyn with the rest of the hip-as-shit music-making community, brings the electro funk straight from ’84 – bumpin’ beats and breaks, vintage synth action, 8-bit arcade blips. It’s almost like you’re in Beverly Hills Cop and Eddie Murphy’s gonna come creeping ‘round the corner any minute with his 9mm and retro ‘stache. Lipp’s latest, Peace Love Weed 3D, was released on Old Tacoma Records in January and has gotten some good buzz. Apparently, Lipp actually creates the tracks from his recordings live on stage, his shows a fusion of live keys and synthesizers manipulated with computers and MIDI controllers. Ghostly International Michna is also a Brooklyn-based producer who draws from an urban palette, though his booty-on-the-floor beats have a breezier, tropical feel with live horns and playfully scattered samples. Tampa’s own Soft Rock Renegades round out the bill with electro spins before and in between the producer sets. 9 p.m.-1 a.m., The Honey Pot, Ybor City, $10.Sunday, March 29
Matt & Kim w/Select Start/Tiger Beat. The keyboard-driven boy-girl dance-punk duo Matt Johnson (keys/vocals) and Kim Schifino (drums/vocals), out of Brooklyn, bring a fresh-faced, rambunctious charm to their upbeat, fuzzy dance ditties. 7 p.m., Czar, Ybor City, $8 in advance/$10 DOS (all ages).
The Presets w/The Golden Filter. The Aussie industrial electro-house-meets-New-Wave duo drops a deluxe, expanded version of its 2008 sophmore album, Apocalypso -- which garnered them six ARIA Awards, Australia's version of the Junos -- on May 5. The new release will include expanded artwork and a bonus disc of remixes by Lifelike, Digitalism's Jence Moelle, Mouse On Mars, Jori Hulkkonen, Still Going and D.I.M. 8 p.m., Common Grounds, Gainesville, $12 in advance/$15 DOS.

Usually, university teachers want to examine the sample essay writing skills of some their students, however not all students are able to write correctly just because of a job and other reasons. Thus, a paper writing service can aid to accomplish the argument essay professionally.

A lot of specialists say that home loans help people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed goods. Furthermore, banks present short term loan for different persons.
It is real that we really do not know what we’ve acquired right until we shed it, but it is also real that we do not know what we’ve been missing before it arrives. Do you assume so? Posed By Jordan Retro 8
