Crosstown Rebels reemerge from the Winter months with an outstanding package steering a fresh look at electronic music. Armed with new distribution from our friends at Kompakt June 16th will see our first release in 6 months from Chic Miniature. Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Ernesto Ferreyra, deliver an EP to put romance back onto the dancefloor and already shaping up to be one of the summers big tunes. To celebrate we have specially commissioned new artwork from Japanese artist, Saeko Ozaki. The creation will be seen when piecing together the first four EPs constructing a series of collectable artwork for our new story.
Seth Troxler makes his debut at the undisputed World leader of the club circuit, Fabric in London on Saturday June 28th. Playing alongside Chilean master of techno, Ricardo Villalobos as well as Claude Von Stroke, Pete Herbert and Craig Richards this is quite an introduction. Seth joined the Rebel Agency in January and is due to release a very special EP on Crosstown in September that will open the eyes of the World to his talents.
Hector releases his debut production on Horizontal, Dinky's label, on 23rd June. Co-produced with Ophir Star of Sudoko Kid fame, 'La Raza' is already causing a stir with its deep tribal rhythms, weaving in synthetic indian calls. Dinky takes a rare remix excursion, creating a deep psychedelic version of the original. Already receiving great reactions and picked by Onur Ozur for his next CD compilation, this may be the start of many to come.
Classic 90's US label Hallucination Recordings and 2003 born Hallucination Limited sub-label is to be released digitally for the first time in an exclusive deal with Beatport. Hallucination Recordings was one of the worlds most lauded underground labels of the 90's alongside Planet E and Exist Dance. In 2003, our own Three aka Chris Milo started Hallucination Limited to carry his own vision of Hallucination into this decade. Now, along with the Hallucination back catalog, the full collection including previously limited, vinyl-only material along with new releases from the likes of Mr C & Adultnapper as Sycophant Slags, Reverse Commuter (side project of [a]pendics shuffle) and more await the public from Hallucination Limited digitally.
The label will also continue doing small vinyl runs of new material.

- Rock & Roll Karaoke at Arlene's Grocery

... Sounds awful I know, but its a full band with you (not me) on stage singing along and a couple hundred people in the audience. I stumbled on this once by accident. People take this serious. It's crazy. - Fuerza Bruta
fuerzabruta.net
... This hasn't quite reached the fever pitch of their previous show De La Guarda yet. Which is all the more reason to check it out soon as you can. I can only describe what they do as a guerilla-style Cirque du Soliel. Completely worth taking a friend to as a surprise... they'll leave speechless. Tickets go super cheap at the box office an hour before showtime if it's not sold out. - Junk food (and a secret bar!!) at Criff Dog's
(113 St. Marks Place near Ave A)
... Come to Criff Dog for hot dogs and cheese fries. It's gluttonous American food people tend to go for when drunk or hungover. But take a closer look at the phone booth inside Criff's, and discover it's actually a 'secret' door to a prohibition-era speakeasy bar. Tagged "PDT" for Please Don't Tell.... more than half the people eating at Criff's have absolutely no idea it exists --- and there is no indication it does! That said, PDT has its regulars and only holds 30 people at a time. A fun thing to surprise people with and the cocktails and vibe are wicked. - Black Betty
(366 Metropolitan Ave - Williamsburg / Brooklyn)
... Every time (literally) you order a pint here you get a free 11" pizza. Amazing just for that, but on Tuesday nights they do "trivia night" and its a colorful cast of players here in the middle of "hipster" Williamsburg / Brooklyn. - New York Philharmonic in Central Park
... Bring food, alcohol (it's tolerated as long as its brought in discreetly) blankets and a group of friends. 'Nuff said.

ANTENNA: BROADCAST ONE is a mix inspired by late nights listening to radio when we were teenagers. Conventional wisdom taking hold, we just assumed other cites must have cooler music than we had. So on weekends, we'd stay up late (when airwaves were less cluttered) slowly turning the FM dial thru in-between spaces hoping to catch distant signals bearing perfect beats. There was a certain excitement to hearing unknown mixes of favorite songs, or more likely, songs we’d never heard before! Little did we know that excitement would one day lead to us to lives completely devoted to music. The reception was rarely clear enough, long enough to satisfy. We always hoped for more time, more clarity...more music!! Especially, when it meant being able to hunt down records because of what was caught on tape. Tapes we’d listen to on through the next week, static and all. Eventually, this obsession would lead to the discovery of radio shows in New York, Chicago and Detroit forever changing our tape collections...and lives!
So this mix was recorded in the spirit of those days. Days which unbeknownst to us were the first steps towards our phuture. Days when what we knew and - more importantly - what we didn’t know fueled our curiosity. BROADCAST ONE was transmitted via our imaginations after reminiscing days gone by. Musically we went for the beautiful, the familiar and the strange (even the static sounds surreal). We hope you enjoy the trip as much as we did.
