President Mister Saturday Lover



It's President's Day weekend. It's Valentine's Day weekend. There's twice the love in the air than a typical long weekend, and we're doing everything we can to get in the spirit. We've got an open bar with Presidente and Champagne to start off the upcoming Mister Saturday Night, and the music is going to be ludicrously good. Justin and Eamon are dropping some gems they picked up over the last few weekends they spent out of town (check the twitter feed for some New Orleans pictures).

The special guest for this weekend is Floating Points. He is astounding, a twenty-three-year-old neuroscientist by day, and by night a producer of some of the most brilliant, musical, evocative tracks we’ve heard in years. If you have come to a Mister Saturday Night party, or heard Eamon and Justin play anywhere in the past year, chances are that you’ve heard his music (and probably loved it). He’s a bridge between dubstep, house and jazz; and everyone from our moms to the most hardened, devout house or techno or disco purists agree. He’s magic.

Unfortunately Azari & III will not be performing because of a passport issue with their vocalist, but fear not, we're already talking to them about another time... And this weekend's going to be good no matter what.

February with Larry Heard, Floating Points and Azari & III


January was amazing. And February is poised to keep things at the fever pitch. Justin and Eamon are playing with a legendary long-time music maker and two of the most promising newcomers on the scene, and they're hosting Mister Saturday Night at our two favorite underground venues.

On February 13, at our home loft, Market Hotel, our guests are Floating Points and Azari and III. This'll be the first Stateside gig for Floating Points and the first ever live set for A&III in New York. On February 27, the wonderful, legendary Larry Heard is DJing with the boys at 12-turn-13, a very intimate home that only occasionally opens its doors to a party. We hosted Moodymann there back in October, and it was outstanding. We'll post tracks, interviews and other goodies here in the lead-up to the parties, but for now we wish you a nice week. Have a great one!
