Sat, Dec 13th - Black Landlord and Friends - Village Green Presents
Black Landlord
"This is a project started by Maxx (formerly of the Goats and Incognegro). It is a TRUE collective. The idea began 4yrs ago with friends and super-electro producers Leonard de Leonard and Olaf Hund. They worked together in Paris and Berlin, writing songs and daydreaming about how to bring talented people together. So, after learning German, some ghetto French and drinking great beer, Maxx returned home to Philly and put a live band together and the end result was a diverse mix of Philly All-Stars."

This weekend - Dr. Fameus (Disco Biscuts) and Last Craft Market of the Season!
Fri, Dec 5th - Village Green and Glass Grenade Productions Presents:
DrFameus (featuring Allen Aucoin of The Disco Biscuits)
"Dr. Fameus, a guru of sound, began natural melody and TBM (Traditional Beat Medicine) in 2001. While surgery and healing beats have been given on a more personal level the doctor is looking forward to treating the masses with his delectable ear candies. Give the doctor a visit."
Random Movement
"The sound of Random Movement is a bit difficult to describe. Samples stand out from a wide variety of old soul/funk/dub/jazz albums, and the overall style of production, writing and orchestration definitely reflects that. The music feels like a hot beach at sunset, like that small club you used to go to back in the day that has long since shut its doors, like the good memories of how things used to be. Deep rolling basslines, good swingin breaks, and 10 tons of soul--Definitely a source of that feel-good vibe. One word seems to get tossed around alot to describe the Random Movement drum and bass sound, and that word is...Deep."
with DJ Ross D and Chris Crompton
