Weekly shows update

Once again not much to announce unless your a member of Blk|Market, which has recently listed a couple new events.

Something noteworthy though is the upcoming Unite Music Festival in Buffalo on May 28-31, featuring four days of events with performers Gareth Emery, Eddie Halliwell, Menno De Jong, Christopher Lawrence, Serge Devant, and others.

This weekend:

Friday: Love is hosting another dubstep event put on by Headhunter, Sepalcure, and Spatial. Agoria will bring Balance 016 to 50 Bowery, and Benny Benassi and Steve Aoki will play Pacha on the same night.

Does it get any better than this?

Chillbase.org, who made Lauge & Baba Gnohm's Monolith EP available free for download, is now offering a free full-length compilation album: Carving Mirages.

The album features 14 ambient and chillout tracks from independent artists of the genre, all in 320 kbit MP3 and FLAC glory:
 
01. Mythematica - Nam Bandara
02. Field Rotation - Zeitreise
03. Ambientium - The Balance
04. Reii - Bleep
05. Note - Everyday Basis
06. Fat Cat - AliensPlay
07. Atombased - Perplexed
08. AstroPilot - Tree Of The Perception
09. Alkor - One Day Above the Clouds
10. ZKA4T - History For Sale
11. bOb tracKer - UIS 555
12. Oddi - Rebirth
13. Xerxes - One-Oh-Three (Timeless Edit)
14. Hybrid Leisureland - Space Light

Although you probably have never heard of these artists before, don't let the anonymity turn you away from an absolutely fantastic album.

Standout tracks include Alkor's "One Day Above the Clouds", a dreamy chill tune carried by some low-pitched bass synths, and Hybrid Leisureland's "Space Light", an ambient journey through space with distorted transmission signals.

Four new DJ Eco tunes unveiled

DJ Eco has posted four new songs on his MySpace: two remixes, and two original productions:

DJ Eco pres. Pacheco - Dancing Under Streetlights
DJ Eco - People (Original Mix)
DJ Eco - People (Rafael Frost Remix)
Dereck Recay - Nebula (Eco Remix)

"People", which has been storming the Beatport Top 100 charts, carries Eco's signature sound: progressive trance with 8bit-sounding synth pitches.

My favorite of the four songs is his remix of Dereck Recay's "Nebula"- a catchy slab of melodic trance laced with subtle piano elements.

Check them out and support a local producer.

Weekly shows update

EnigmaT over at TranceAddict does a great job of compiling show dates each week, and after looking at his latest list, there's a few I forgot to include on this site.

For this entry, I'm also changing the format around a little bit to make it easier to find shows at a particular venue. So instead of randomly listing bookings, I'll compile them by club/venue.

At Pacha: Mark Knight on June 5.

At Cielo: Dave Dresden on June 25.

At Love: Joris Voorn on June 11.

At Santos Party House: Afrojack on June 12.

This week:

Thursday: Alex Pierce at Cielo. 

Friday: Andy Moor, Mike Saint-Jules, Ali Mahmud, and Frank Chiarello at Pacha, David Squillace at Love, Moby at Webster Hall. 

Saturday: Sean Tyas and Simon Patterson at Webster Hall, Roger Sanchez at Santos Party House.
