NYE in Baltimore: Thunderball + Friends
Thunderball, the "Ambassadors of Style" have been putting out quality music on DC's Eighteenth Street Lounge label for years. Their appearance alone would put a party on the top of our list. Throw in a reunion of legendary house outfit East Coast Boogiemen, the return of Baltimore's own Patrick Turner and appearances from DJ heroes Chris Bulla and Jesse Figment, and you have got yourself a party!
Check out the details here.
Joe Nice this Thursday in Baltimore + Michael Owen’s B-Day!
Joe makes a hometown appearance this Thursday in Baltimore for Posh Cavern @ Red Maple - 930 N. Charles St.
It's also the birthday of our good friend Michael Owen. Michael is the man behind the Baltimore Love Project, and has always been a big supporter of Gourmetbeats, even appearing on Gourmetbeats Radio back in 2005! Definitely not a night to be missed!
Joe Nice interviewed and in NYC this Saturday!
Nice interview with Joe (also Nice) on bassfaced.com. He'll be up in Brooklyn this Saturday bringing the business once again to the 718. Check the details at reconstrvct.com!
Here comes The Gumball
The guys from ForQuarters introduce the first in a series of events they are calling 'The Gumball", with support from Gourmetbeats, EightyEightyDC, and SoulMob Productions. Starting on a very strong foot, their first installment will feature Lazy Days Recordings label boss and legendary DJ, Fred Everything.
We saw Fred Everything for the first time at the 2005 Winter Music Conference in Miami where he performed an unforgettable set at the now-defunct venue Bash. It was one of those nights where the stars aligned, everyone was in attendance, and every shoe was on the dance floor; where you looked around and saw some of the best DJ's and producers in the industry, and they were all dancing like crazy. We've been huge fans ever since, and expect that the combination of Fred and ForQuarters will result in a tremendous night.
Get a taste of the ForQuarters boys tonight in DC for their new monthly at Eighteenth Street Lounge.
Winter Music Conference 2011 Rundown
This year’s Winter Music Conference was announced amid a flurry of controversy over its split with the Ultra Music Festival. In years passed, the conference had benefited (or suffered depending on who you talk to) from the huge draw of Ultra Fest, which as of this year claims to be the largest music festival in the world. Gourmetbeats took the trip down to South Beach to see how the WMC stood on its own.
Joe Nice on GetDarkerTV
Joe Nice stopped by the offices of GetDarker.com while in London for his European tour and recorded a set for this excellent dubstep web source and now label. Check it out at http://www.getdarker.com/audio/podcasts/joe-nice-getdarkertv-088/
Gourmetbeats hits the road: Miami to Europe
Gourmetbeats hits the road as Joe heads across the pond on his European tour and Tyler heads to South Beach for the Winter Music Conference.
The WMC starts Tuesday in Miami, and tonight was spent connecting with friends and preparing for the opening events. Dinner and drinks were had with the cast and crew of the Future Classics party, our first stop on the 5 day whirlwind that is to follow. Featuring a lineup of seminal house music legends including the Basement Boys, Danny Tenaglia, and Crystal Waters to name a few, we will definitely be getting the week started right. Stay tuned for coverage of the conference and updates as the week continues.
Meanwhile 4500 miles away Joe Nice continues his European tour, tearing through historic Ghent, Manchester, and London, and continuing like a force of nature, ending the week in Berlin on Friday. Fives will be tossed, dubplates will be rewound, and we'll have a full rundown of Joe's European adventure soon to come!
