DJ Workshops

Presenter: Patrick Giguere and Andrew Logan
Dates: March 4th & 12th
Times: 1:30 – 4:30pm
Location: 227 Putnam Hall

Synopsis:
Over the past 4 decades DJing has evolved from simply playing records over the airwaves to an internationally recognized art form. From turntablism ( using a turntable as an instrument by manipulating records in a way that creates percussive elements and other sounds not present on the record) to creating mash-ups ( i.e. Girl Talk) this practicum will give students the opportunity to learn about the cultural history of DJing while providing a hands-on environment to learn the essential skills of DJing. From set-up and signal flow to scratching and mixing, we will cover and practice all the various types of DJing elements. Some of the equipment and programs used will be turntables, mixers, CD tables, Kaoss pad, Traktor, Reason and Ableton Live. Come experience the culture of DJing with Pat the Cat and DJ Anlog.

A Pity Party

Friday The Spacement hosted a benefit for Haiti, raising $115 for Doctors w/o Borders! Five Deadly Venoms, Spooktober, Sandcrawler, The Professionalisms, and the BustedBASS afterparty were all incredible.

The Spacement appears in the winter issue of Backdrop Magazine, an OU student publication. The first shot is Alex Douglas from She Bears, below him is Bobb Hatt, "The Bearded Genius" who has also performed at our house on several occasions. There's no mention of our venue specifically though it is eluded to by DJ Shadowcat (a.k.a. Pat the Cat) in the second to last paragraph.

More Space-Themed Show

I guess I should have posted these last week when they were relevant, but we had two fantastic space-themed at my house last weekend. Here are the flyer designed by yours truly, video coming soon.

Blithe Field @ The Spacement

Last Saturday this dude played the Spacement for the second time this weekend and he's easily the best downtempo act I've heard in Athens. Here's the first Spacement performance along with Shapeless Shadow's amazing light setup on Electronica Night January 16th.

Whale Zombie rejuvenates Athens with lucid riffs, optimism

This article by Dani Purcell was published February 4th on ACRN.com. Excellent coverage - ACRN's editorial staff definitely has its finger to the pulse of the Athens music scene.

Baker Rollerjams

Here's a great video Kramer shot of me spinning 45s at the Baker Center rollerjam last Tuesday. The track is A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays" by De La Soul.
