April 22nd , 2008 - Back @ CiRCA + Live Video Footage! Never seen us live? Feast your eyes! Pretty sweet starwipe, eh? Apparently we're not the only people who thought that we destroyed CiRCA, because we've been invited back! So come join us and the rest of the Tight Knit crew as we return to Randomland on May 9th -
The guestlist is already exploding for this one. Don't miss out! |
| March 1st, 2008 - New Solo Mix from Adam Addison Before I get into the good stuff, let's talk about our gig at Circa -
We absolutely murdered the joint, an outcome that I attribute solely to the addition of my new beard. Everyone knows that you can't call yourself a legitimate electronic music duo unless one of you pretends to be from 1974. If you missed out, fear not, for I suspect that we will be back sooner rather than later. Insanely hilarious video footage from the night is forthcoming, so be on the lookout! In other news. Adam Addison, being the (illegal) worker bee that he is, slapped together a solo mix for your enjoyment. Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to present -
So make your way on over to the Guest Mix section of our Music Page and give it a listen! |
January 6th, 2008 - New CD. Monster Gig. Life is Good.
No, your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, that is our new CD. Live @ Freakout is everything we hoped it would be and more. Grab yourself a digital copy and ignore my riveting supporting prose over on the Music Page. But wait! There's more! We'll be giving away 500 professionally replicated copies at our next gig... RANDOMLAND AT CiRCA !
For those of you who have been living in a cave, CiRCA is North America's newest uberclub. Owned and operated by New York legend Peter Gatien, it's unlike anything I've ever seen. When I had the pleasure of visiting in November, I entered the club through a bank vault. I proceeded through a glass hallway staffed with live models, past the bar installed in the bathroom, and into main room. My senses were assaulted by an outrageous sound system, a VIP cube suspended in mid-air, and a bouncy castle. That is only the first floor. There are 4 more. You can see where this is going. CiRCA was made for us. |
October 15th, 2007 - Boo!
Ask, and ye shall receive. Our years of unbridled lust have finally paid off. After much cajoling, we have been rewarded with a spot on Destiny Productions Halloween lineup. As you can see, the party is going to be monstrous! If you've never been to a Destiny Halloween, you're in for a treat. Thousands upon thousands pack it in to have their faces melted, and melt them we shall. The recent trip through New York proved fruitful, with ample opportunities to act like complete jackasses.
That's called intensity, kids. |
August 16th, 2007 - End of Summer Spectacular!
Ah. That feels good. Can you feel it? Of course you can. That unmistakable chill running down your spine is none other than the sweet caress of our name atop a show in Toronto on August 25th at the Opium Lounge. It's been ages, eh? This event features our teaming up with the Bassteaser crew for their second large-scale electronic music event, and by my estimation, it's going to be a doozy. Working with the very people that we grew up with affords us a certain degree of musical freedom, and we plan to make the most of it. So stop on by, have a few drinks, dance to some choice tunes, and witness my eternal quest to get Adam to let me play more freaky robot music from the year 2034. Ah! But that's not all! Behold! My favorite flyer of the year -
Justin Hannon Productions will be bringing us to Club W in Buffalo on Sunday, September 2nd. We'll be playing a 3 hour set on the night before a national holiday. You do the math. |
July 10th, 2007 - Once More Unto the Breach
"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Or close the wall up with our English dead!" If Shakespeare was alive, he'd probably be heading to WEMF 2007. You're not going to let that punk show you up, are you? I thought not. Our friends at Destiny Productions continue to take care of us, this being our 4th straight year at the World Electronic Music Festival and marking our glorious return to the 4x4 Main Stage. You'll be able to catch us on Friday night (July 20th) playing right before Jelo and Donald Glaude. If you're keen, you'll notice that this is the exact same slot that we had in 2005. We absolutely murdered the festival back then, and we plan to do so again. Don't miss out! Oh, there's also a new Top 10 + some new pictures, if you're into those sorts of things. |
January 2nd, 2007 - Happy New Year!
Apologies on being a little late with this one, but most of you were already in the know. For those that weren't, Adam and I had the honor of co-headlining the Goodfellaz New Year's Eve spectacular.
It was hot. It was sweaty. It was exactly how we like it. All of our best to you this year! |
June 29th , 2006 - NEW CD - ANGEL DUST BLUES
We've been sitting on our 5th CD for quite a while, but the time is right for public consumption. Snag your digital copy on our Music Page. I'll let the summary on that page speak for itself. Much like "Ghetto Cardio," we're having this one professionally replicated. We'll have 500 copies (totally free, of course) to give away at WEMF, so don't be a stranger! |
June 27th , 2006 - WEMF! WEMF! WEMF!
Our friends at Destiny Productions have once again thrown a monster our way! This marks our 3rd WEMF in a row, and we couldn't be more excited. In an interesting attempt to shake things up, we've been taken off of the Four-Four main stage and given top billing on the Nor'Easter stage - dedicated to American artists who have helped to keep the Canadian scene alive and kicking. Look for us fighting Krafty Kuts, Jackal & Hyde and Goldie for a prime time audience. We sure as hell won't win, but we'll go down fighting. In other news, "Where?" went OFF! Holy cow. What started off as a funk party quickly degenerated into a ridiculously hard, dirty, sweaty, warehouse-esque rave. Observe -
There's no way in hell you're happier than that guy. |
April 16th , 2006 - We're not dead!
Hey! Look at that! A gig! You should probably go to it. Hit up ONdaFLY for all the info. Ok, ok, ok. I know. It's been awhile. Let me catch you up with what's been going on. Adam has completed his BA in Psychology from the University of Toronto (hooray!). Meanwhile, I've managed to parlay my U of C Econ degree into an analyst position at a multi-national bank. I would tell you which one, but I imagine that they would probably frown upon learning that they employ an electronic musician. All of this is hardly an excuse for not updating the site in 5 months...... but it helps. In music news, Destination 2006 was off the chain. Take a peek at some of our damage.
I wore a fake Bathing Ape jacket that I bought from Hong Kong for $17. The entire night people kept coming up to me and giving me complements. I didn't have the heart to tell them the truth. Suckers. The new CD is all planned out, and Adam and I will be putting it together when he comes through Chicago during the first week of May. It's going to be called "Angel Dust Blues," and it'll be like nothing you've ever heard from us before. We're rolling the dice on this one, hoping that it doesn't kill our career. The results should be exciting, to say the least. The new single is also going to be finished in May, and it's called "Slow Your Roll." It's..... complicated. To take a page from dancerecords.com (my least favorite website on the internet), it's a chemical-big-beat-progressive-rock-acid-breaks stormer. Got it? Good. There's a new top 10, new pictures, and a new section to the Music page entitled "Legendary Mixes." The first offering is Orbital's final live performance at Maida Vale. Do yourself a favor and download it. |
November 29th, 2005 - Celebrate 2006 in style
Well, we're excited about this one. Destiny Productions, the muscle behind the World Electronic Music Festival, has rented out The Docks nightclub in Toronto for one of the largest New Years Eve celebrations in North America. So please join us, along with DJ Love (USA), DuMonde (Germany), Dillinja & Lemon D (UK), and the finest talent that Canada has to offer as we pump 100,000 watts into the new year! As an added treat, Adam and I will be passing out hundreds of professionally packaged copies of "Ghetto Cardio," complete with the following rather hilarious limited-edition NYE cover -
Even if you are unable to attend, you can still snag your copy of "Ghetto Cardio" on our Music Page. |
September 12th, 2005 - The Review(s) Are In!
It's about time a duo as handsome as us finally got some press. No, that's not us on the cover of Rinse Magazine (that's Evil Nine, by the way), but the delicious innards contain a great first review for "Duck and Cover." Observe - "It's great to see new North American breaks labels (and this one isn't even from Canada). Greg J's Funky Cactus Records from San Francisco calls on The Beat Freakers for the third release. The original is pure, funky breaks a la The Wiseguys or old Wax Assassins with loads of guitars and sax over some nice, speedy old school breaks. The Myagi remix is a chunky, acid roller, heavy on the bass and dubbed out samples - full on breaker beats with a nu skool edge." The 4/5 star review put us with good company, namely Dopamine's release on TCR and Aquasky's new joint on 777. I would imagine we'll be releasing tunes of their caliber in about 3 years, but until then, we'll take what we can get. We're like that. For audio samples of the record and links on where to buy, hit up the Music Page. |
Aug 4th, 2005 - Absolute Annihilation at the World Electronic Music Festival

Phew. Adam and I are just now getting over our gig at the World Electronic Music Festival. It was an absolute dream come true to open up for both Donald Glaude and Rabbit in the Moon! Granted, the adrenaline was pumping so hard that we hardly remember a thing, but we recall having the time of our lives. As you can tell from the pictures above, the event drew thousands upon thousands of people, and the crowd response to our set was unreal. Word on the street is that I played the air guitar in the middle of 2,000 people, but that could be just a rumor...
Our first single, "Duck and Cover," featuring a Myagi remix on the flip has officially dropped in record stores all over the world. If you are having trouble finding it, or are agoraphobic, swing by the Funky Cactus Recordings website to purchase it online.
Speaking of original productions, we have at least 3 more in the pipeline. I have a feeling that 2006 is going to be a monster year for our productions. We'll also be getting a brand new website to accompany the original tunes, so you won't have to sweat my bush league design. Until then, much love and respect from the both of us.
