Tonight, Dutch producer Afrojack graces the decks at Voyeur with Dave P and Sammy Slice for the beginning of his first American tour. Afrojack has had a huge run of hits in the past year and was the hit of the Winter Music Conference. He had a hand in Major Lazer’s Pon De Floor as well as his own production with Ghettoblaster, Louder Than Words, Pacha on Acid and a ton of remixes.  Needless to say, this 22 year old is hitting the sweet spot with his banging Dutch House. Voyeur is only $5 tonight if you mention Dave P or Sammy Slice at the door. Check the event out on Facebook.

In related Dave P news, he just announced that Sleigh Bells will be headlining Making Time at The Bamboo Bar on July 4th as well as The Rapture with Holy Ghost in two weeks on June 25th.  Making Time also released a mixtape to celebrate their 10 year anniversary entitled Live From the Hypercage.  I’ve finally got around to uploading it so take a listen and download below.

This Friday, head to the newly remodeled and renamed Pure for Making Time at Voyeur. Dave P and co are bringing in The XX from London and the Phenomenal Handclap Band from Brooklyn. Here’s Dave P’s take on The XX

Basically my favorite band of 2009. I’ve been listening to the xx record on repeat for the past 3 months. If you don’t know who they are…..you should. The world is a better place because of the music of the xx. Come see this band before they become the biggest band in the world.

When Dave P christens you as his favorite band, you must be doing something right. As always its a Rocktits event in the basement with Joel Nez, Russ Alexander and Steve Vena. In the Hypercage, its Adam Sparkles, Pink Skull and Broadzilla. Dave P, Dave Pak and Mike Z will be raddening the main dance floor in between sets. Tickets are only $10 advanced at Last Drop (1300 Pine Street) and Tequila Sunrise Records (525 W Girard) or $12 at the door. Be sure to get there early for the open bar of PBR & Sparks from 9 – 11. After the jump, check out two videos for The XX and one for Phenomenal Handclap.

This starts out as a sequel to the Making Time Pool Party video they made. Cameos include zombie Diplo and MIA and Spank Rock as Michael Jackson in Thriller. Needless to say this party is going to be totally rad with the amazing performance from Simian Mobile Disco. Tickets are $25 but that includes an open bar all night! Advanced tickets are available at AKA Music (2nd and Market) and at the Last Drop (13th and Pine).  Flyer and full details after the jump

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! It’s the Making Time Pool Party at the Bamboo Bar (yes that Bamboo bar at the Roxxy) with !!! and all the regulars.  Hopefully, unlike the video, there will be more than just bros hanging out.  Lol.

Sunday September 6th, 2009 (the Day Before Labor Day)

Back once again with the ill behavior (which is why we can’t use the airplane pool) and a new location…….

@ Bamboo Bar
927 Delaware Ave (below Frankford/around the corner from The Barbary)
Philadelphia, PA

4pm-2am

Some things only happen once in a lifetime. Sadly, as a result of the totally extreme radness that occurs at every Making Time party, that is the case for the Making Time Pool Party at the Flying W Pool and Resort. The management of the Flying W have decided that our radness is just too much for their family establishment and unfortunately, as a result, the Making Time Pool Party…The Sequel…will not be happening at the Flying W. I guess we are just way too rad for New Jersey.

So…Yes…If you were lucky enough to experience the radness of the 1st Making Time Pool Party at the Flying W Pool and Resort this past June….you experienced a once in a lifetime rager that will surely go down in history.
I was very saddened by the news after speaking with the management of the Flying W. I was very excited, as I’m sure you were as well, to experience the magic of the Making Time Pool Party at the Flying W once again on Sunday September 6th, 2009. To add to my disappointment, the news from the Flying W came just a few days after we had booked a very special live guest to play at this final outdoor rager of the summer. I felt that all that we worked for and all that we looked forward to all summer long was gone, in the blink of an eye….sucked up with the waters of the Flying W Pool that was drained after the last pool party because it was full of the remnants of an all day rager. Well….I was wrong and little did I know…the magic was just about to begin.

After a week of scouring the Philadelphia area for pools to move the party to, I found nothing and began to consider the unthinkable….canceling the final Making Time Pool Party of 2009. I’m sure you can imagine my frustration, my disappointment and my sadness.

Well…that was until Sunday August 16th, 2009 when I was exposed to one of the most magical places in Philadelphia…..Bamboo Bar.
Yes….that place that you sometimes pass on your way to The Barbary on Delaware Ave.
Yes….behind that yellow façade and behind the tiki torches and fake palms lies one of the most magical places I have ever witnessed in Philadelphia.

On Sunday August 16th, 2009 I was invited to DJ a daytime party at Bamboo Bar. I was skeptical of what it would be like but I was hopeful that it would be a rad time.
Little did I know that I was about to experience something very magical and I was about to discover the place I had been looking for for the Making Time Pool Party….The Sequel…for so long. Upon walking into Bamboo Bar I not only realized I was in one of the most amazing outdoor spaces in Philadelphia, fully equipped with a POOL (YES…A POOL!!! A small pool but YES!!! A POOL), waterfalls, multiple decks, wooden bridges, beach volleyball courts, a full outdoor dancefloor, more tiki torches and palm trees than an Ibiza resort, fishbowl margaritas and mojitos, a full grilling area and YES…an amazing soundsystem, but I also had a vision….

A vision of !!! (YES…chk chk chk!!!) playing live on the Bamboo Bar stage beneath a starry sky, a vision of Russ Alexander, Joel, Nez and Steve swimming naked in the waters of the Bamboo Bar pool as if they were in the waters of the Mediterranean off the coast of the South of France, of Mike Z and Dave Pak pushing their hair back beneath the slowly descending waters of the Bamboo Bar waterfall after taking a dip in the clear blue waters of the Bamboo Bar Pool, of KT, Thom and James barefoot in the sands of the beach volleyball court….KT ready to serve….Thom of course ready to volley and James ready to spike, of Julian double fisting two fishbowl cocktails, one margarita and one mojito, while dancing wildly on the upper deck of Bamboo Bar beneath an orange summer moon, of Adam Sparkles finding a secluded area in the shade of one of the several nooks in Bamboo Bar where he can spend some time alone, eating a traditional steak taco from the Cantina catered grill, contemplating the magical experience he has been witness to, of myself Djing in the bamboo and palm covered DJ booth as if I were Djing on the beach in Ibiza and of course of all of you freaking out like crazy people to the futuristic sounds of all of the Making Time resident DJs on the Bamboo Bar dancefloor all day and night long!!! What a wonderful vision, eh?

Well…that vision is about to become a reality, Philadelphia…YES!!! The Making Time Pool Party….The Sequel…lives on beyond the Flying W Resort and Pool. And we are back once again with the ill behavior and the magic of the inaugural Making Time Pool Party…this time on the coast of the Delaware River….this time in Philadelphia…..this time at Bamboo Bar. Let the Making Time Pool Party…The Sequel…illuminate your summer like the warm glow of the Ibiza sun. Yes, Philadelphia….it will indeed be like Ibiza out there and YES!!! Philadelphia….this will surely be the most magical, most raging and most life affirming experience of the Summer of 2009.

Let’s do this….let’s make history once again, Philadelphia….because like the Making Time Pool Party in New Jersey…this may only happen once in our lifetime.

It’s time to freak out like crazy people. Get ready, it’s Spank Rock live at Making Time next Friday at Pure. Its going to be major. Mr. Rock is currently busy finishing an album I believe is supposed to come out this year. I can only imagine the special guests such as Amanda Blank who is also busy finishing up her album due out this year. Plus its at Pure, I like Pure so much more than Transit. If Pure was a guy, I would totally be gay for him, but just for the night. Also Hearts Revolution is playing, they have an ice cream truck which makes them cool or something? Free PBR and Sparks 9 – 11. Did Dave P buy out stock so they still have some? I thought that was only me and a couple friends? Get tix over at IGetRvng.

Making Time
Spank Rock and the Get Rad Crew
Friday March 12
$10 adv, $12 at door
