'sup everybody?
I hope your summers are going well; we've been keeping busy here at Theory HQ. The whole crew's been making amazing art and making big things happen, which has really been the goal of Theory all along. Well, that and sharing it with all you awesome people ;-)
Speaking of which, we're all really looking forward to this Saturday night at the Leopard Lounge. This Saturday night is the premiere of our Soundclash Theory format, where we set up two DJs/DJ groups with a theme to spin on and two 1.5 hour sets, back and forth so everybody gets some early time and some later time on the decks. It's definitely not a battle, more like a bit of friendly competition between DJs who've enjoyed one anothers' work, with the only metric of success being how much all of you are feeling it.
To start off strong, this Saturday we've asked our veteran Theory resident DJs It's Overture and 100dBs to each take us around the world in 80 minutes, mixing domestic club bangers with less-known (but no less bumpin') international tracks in what's sure to be an evening to remember. Actually, since we've got fresh-mixed $6 mojitos all night, you might not remember the evening at all.
Adding to the international madness, we'll also be hosting the US premiere performance from VJs Lau+1 this Saturday night- Lau+1 are a couple of amazing visual artists from Holland who'll be projecting live visualizations all night, bringing styles that have only been seen in Dutch clubs like Odeon to the Leopard Lounge for our enjoyment. Expect some big things.
Like all Theory parties, our Soundclash Theory jam this Saturday night at the Leopard Lounge is free to the 21+ public. Unlike the Theory Prom, which jampacked both the upstairs Leopard Lounge and the downstairs Sin Sin, this Saturday is going to be a more low-key upstairs-only party. We've found that managing multiple rooms is a big pain in the ass, and it keeps us the Theory event producers from hanging out with all y'all as much as we'd like, so we're trying the one-room thing and publicizing this one a bit less than the last.
On the whole, this Saturday night is going to be amazing; a free party featuring great music, cool international art and cheap good cocktails in an awesome space. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
