Grown And Sexy: Pictures from The Mister

Round One of Two

Can you believe it's been a month? We've missed you. The longing is over this weekend in a very big way, though. It's the first of a Mister Saturday Night two-Saturday doubleheader. For this one, Justin's returning home to play alongside Eamon, Caribou's joining the festivities, and the big, blue soundsystem is already plugged in and warmed up.

Tickets for this and next weekends' parties are on sale here. We've sold a lot for this weekend already, and even though we're at a pretty big space (location details to the right) there's a chance that we might fill up, so if you're sure you want to come, it's a good idea to purchase in advance. Otherwise, RSVP, and get there early!

Fertile Times: An Interview with Caribou

The man behind the moniker Caribou is Dan Snaith. As you're no doubt aware by now, he's DJing with us this weekend as Mister Saturday Night returns after a longer than planned break.

We've been chatting with him on email for the past week or so in anticipation of the party. It was a pleasure to hear that he knew all about us and what we do, and he's clearly enthused and looking forward to the gig.

He kindly agreed to answer a few questions to help whet your appetite for this coming Saturday.

Another Time

Regretfully we have to cancel this weekend's edition of the Mister. The visa application of our guest, Todd Terje, was unusually delayed and won't be processed in time for him to travel. We wouldn't ordinarily cancel a night because a guest couldn't appear, as it's all about the party and not any one DJ, but on this occasion with Mister Carter in Europe and the huge anticipation around Todd Terje's appearance, we feel it makes most sense. We're in the process of finalizing another date for later in the year for Terje to return, so keep an eye out for that.

If you purchased an advance ticket, you can contact Resident Advisor here for a refund. Otherwise, we'll see you in a few weeks when Justin returns to play alongside Eamon, Caribou and Joy Orbison and then again in May when Justin and Eamon take a whole night for themselves. Tickets for those parties are right here.

This Weekend & Beyond

This weekend, we're back to doing the Mister like you know it best. No holiday extravaganza or collaboration, just a good, old-fashioned, one-room, one-soundsystem, Justin-Eamon-and-guest, free-beer-for-the-first-hour kind of get down. Does that mean it won't be special? Of course not.

In fact, it will be extra special. Our guest is Omar S, who, making his third showing at MSN, is now our most frequent musical companion. It's no wonder why we've asked him back as often as we have. In addition to consistently producing tracks that make their way into Justin and Eamon's sets, he's a phenomenal DJ, a master of dancefloor hypnosis. This will also be the last time that Eamon and Justin play together in New York for a while. Justin's headed off to Berlin for a few months, and their only joint gigs until April will be in Europe. That makes this a going-away party of sorts.

It's certainly not the kind of going-away where you should be shedding tears, though: the future's looking bright. While Justin's away, joining Eamon on deck duty will be SoulPhiction, Greg Wilson and Todd Terje – the latter of whom we've been trying to bring back to New York for years. And when Justin comes back in April, he and Eamon will be joined by Caribou(!!!!!) and... well, that's enough for now, but there's another exclamation-point worthy guest playing with us on Saturday, April 9th.

Tickets for this Saturday and February 12th are here right now, and they'll go on sale soon enough for the rest. All the other details for Saturday are to the right of this post. See you this weekend.

On The Way

Eamon and I have a biiiiiig order of records on the way (hopefully arriving in time for New Year's Eve). The new Wolf Music EP, The Koze remixes of Caribou, and a great one from FCL are all in there; but the one we're most excited about it the above Space Dimension Controller gem. Chances are you'll hear it twice in a night. If you want to hear a couple more things, look beyond the jump.

Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun...
