Smoky warehouses and deep grooves, Chris Malinchak and Gorgon City get RINSED in Brooklyn
Long before dance music exploded into the public eye, before festivals spanned two weekends and Soundcloud and Twitter defined our listening habits, electronic music was enjoyed in empty warehouses and dimly lit basements. A true underground movement, one that embodied both the seedy underbelly of urban culture and an unwavering dedication to music discovery, dance music was enjoyed without the glitz and glamour that has become synonymous with EDM today. Despite the socialites of New York City's recent adoption of dance music into upscale clubs throughout Manhattan, there still exists a vibrant and healthy underground scene --one that is tucked far away from sparkling champagne bottles and beautiful hostesses, housed instead in illegal warehouses in nearby Brooklyn. Last Friday, this is where Gorgon City would make their New York City debut and Chris Malinchak would spin his sugary-sweet disco in a dingy, smoke-filled room.
Foamo – We Love… mix
Some people like to drink coffee to get themselves moving in the morning. For us at Dancing Astronaut, we throw out the watered down cups of joe and instead throw on some of the finest mixes house music has to offer. So put down that overpriced Starbucks latte and let Kye Gibbon, the UK DJ/Producer Foamo, help you shake off the morning funk with an hour of choice house tunes and deep punchy bass. Consider this the opening set to your day, a nice warm up for the madness that will follow tonight - because if you are anything like us, the weekend starts on Thursday.
