Yes Yes Ya'll...
In what promises to be a pan-generational wall-to-wall boom-bap fest, Reverse Promotions presents its fourth annual Sangageddon event at Smart Bar this Thursday night. Electro-funk godfather Afrika Bambaataa’s set may be the big-name draw for the occasion -- seeing how his legacy is so old-school that it’s practically pre-school and is Hall of Fame fodder to boot. But aficionados will most likely turn out to check the appearance by cut’n’paste mixer Steinski. While Steinski’s claim to fame largely rests on his “Lessons” mixes from the early 1980s, he sporadically resurfaces with a new mix or DJ appearance that proves he’s kept up his game over the years. With recent guest spots on the London mix show Solid Steel, he’s delivered mixes that are eclectic, very danceable, and often hilariously clever (for example, dropping Alec Baldwin’s venomous rant from Glengarry Glen Ross over the beat of Three Times Dope’s “Greatest Man Alive”). Also scheduled is a performance by quirkily inventive L.A. electronic musician Daedelus. Local DJs Intel, Skor, and Galapagos4 affiliate Maker will be rounding out the evening’s bill. Admission is $15 and the doors open at 10pm. If you have to work the next day, plan accordingly -- because this party, as the hours for the event suggest, just might last all the way 'til 4am.
