Theory's Back in '09!

It's been a long time... but we're coming back, shiny and fresh for a new year of cultured debauchery! We're kicking off two new monthlies in January, and the first of these is our new DJ's choice night, Selector Sessions. Second Thursdays, Theory DJs and guests will be cutting it up at The Leopard Lounge here in the East Village, Free.

Come through and peep game. Nobody does it like It's Overture, and DJ Far East is going to be huge. Add in $6 cocktail specials all night, and it's looking like a night a night to break your New Year's resolutions...

Sounclash Theory: Return To The Island, Saturday September 13

what

Ashir and 100dBs: a dialogue

Ashir: So what do you have planned for us on the 8th? It better be more exciting than the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

100dBs: it's going to be so hot, i'm not even spinning. AND YOU KNOW THIS.

just to illustrate a point let's throw up some links:

my favorite scallywag mix: http://djscallywag.com/Mixes/DJScallywag-ThugnBass.mp3

dope it's overture mix (verse + macabee): http://www.divshare.com/download/4160763-127

and for iron lyon, you'll just have to cop "irie stylee" from him or go see him live. you know, like... this friday.



100dBs: this will be the only place to get a real physical copy of Brenner's Breaks Volume 2, unless you're one of the first 10 people to order it online. once this pressing is gone, it's gone.

Ashir: yes but will Jamaica be representing as hard as they are in the Olympics?

100dBs: Witness the fitness.

'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,
Sam Cohen
