Switch spins at Smartbar this Saturday
Switch has been a busy man the past few years. Although his home might be behind a DJ booth, he's spent a good amount of time collaborating with some of the most talked about artist around (Santogold, Amanda Blank, M.I.A.) and remixing the likes of Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Lily Allen, and Bjork to name a few. He's also part of the Diplo collaborative Major Lazer, which cranked out some of the headiest island dancehall beats of the past year with tracks like "Hold the Line" and "Keep it Going Louder." You definitely can't say the man doesn't stay busy.
Lucky enough for us, he'll be manning the decks at Smartbar this Saturday, along with Chicago house duo Santiago and Sexual Chocolate. If you're not familiar with Switch's DJ style, expect a glitchy techno up-tempo set, best described (in Switch's own made-up term) as fidget house, which he described in an interview with LA Weekly as "basically just jackin' house beats with a few unexpected twists and turns."
Switch plays this Saturday, January 16th, at Smartbar. Tickets are $10 in advance or before midnight, and $15 dollars after midnight. The music starts at 10pm, and the show is 21+ You can get your tickets online at the Metro/Smartbar site.
