Bring Back Dan the Swede

December 18th, 2008 · No Comments

swede_dsj Bring Back Dan the Swede

Look at that tall motherfucker. Look at him. He’s matching his sunglasses with his shirt. When is the last time you’ve seen that? It’s been a long time. Bring Back Dan the Swede. It’s a simple request. Sometimes you just want a tall ass dude djing and Emynd is definitely not fitting that bill. He’s got the hair. That flowing hair. We need a tall DJ to complete the triumverate. We can paint the town red and the warehouse.

Don’t you miss White T’s White Belt’s
Let’s bring back Dan the Swede!
Post a comment on the blog about why you want Dan the Swede to come back, at least for a one night only engagement or even why you think he’s so cool. ?!
Also it’s Dan’s 32 birthday on Saturday!

Happy Birthday Dan!  Go leave a comment on the BBDTS blog.  Join the facebook event.  Reminisce with some photos.

Saturday: Bounce, new Zoe and Wayne - Lost

August 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

bounce Saturday: Bounce, new Zoe and Wayne - Lost

This Saturday the Bounce is back at the Barbary with Emynd & Bo Bliz.  No cover before 10, $5 after.  Free PBR and vodka 9 - 11 with skate video screenings.

Ok, so Emynd has been really adamant that Jay Z’s latest track Jockin isn’t all that worth the hype.  He instead points to a new song from Gorilla Zoe feat Lil Wayne.  Not surprised that Emynd would point to a Wayne song but this song is so good.  Like, amazing good, I’ve listened over and over to it good.  So far, the counter says 15 times with probably 15 times on zshare before downloading it.  Emynd’s summary that it sounds like Sizurp personified probably is the best way to define this.

Gorilla Zoe - Lost feat Lil Wayne (Zshare) (ysi)

Emynd & Bo Bliz - Philly Love Volume 1

June 12th, 2008 · No Comments

philly_love1front-300x300 Emynd & Bo Bliz - Philly Love Volume 1

Oh shit, this is so classic. Club bangggeeerrrr!!!! Emynd & Bo Bliz picked 30 of their favorite Philly rap songs for volume 1. You know there is Beans, Peedi and Freeway of course. Plus Gillie, Schooly D, Reef, Cool C and a whole lot more.

We completed this about two years ago so there isn’t much new stuff, and it’s really impossible to be exhaustive when making mixes like this–you’re bound to leave someone disappointed with what’s been included and what’s been excluded. But, that being said, since we never wound up doing anything with this mix and we’re both still really happy with it, we figured we might as well post it on the internets for the world to download. Big shout outs to Cosmo Baker who was a big influence on this mix (he was the reason we put “40 Barz” up on this ish).

Listen below. Get the tracklist and download link after the jump.

Official Arts Garage Statement

March 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Direct from the Director of the Arts Garage

By now, some of you might have heard that The Arts Garage was shut down by the Department of License and inspection for code violations, including a requirement to install sprinkler system. The sprinkler system is a $50,000 expense and can take six to eight weeks to complete.

L & I made it clear that The Arts Garage will not be permitted to re-open until the violation is corrected. After careful consideration, it does not appear likely that The Arts Garage can reopen sooner than 90 days.

Promoters that which to host their events during this period can contact the following two North Philly venues for consideration.

1. Dowling Palace located at 1310 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130. Tel: 215-236-9888. Ask for Stacey.

2. The Guild located at 735 Fairmount Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19123. Tel: 215-989-9809. Ask for Bunmi Samuel.

I am committed to correct the violation ASAP and reopen when contingencies permits. My sincere gratitude to everyone that called to offer a pledge of support.

Regards,
Executive Director
215-806-1491
www.theartsgarage.com

Ouch, not sure what this means for White Tees or any of the other awesome events planned for the next 3 months.

Arts Garage Closed, Loie Raided

March 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

arts_garage-762587 Arts Garage Closed, Loie Raided

  • Just got word from Bo Bliz
    the arts garage is shut down indefinitely.

    no further details until we pow-wow a little bit, but this may be RIP.

    keeping it moving.

    Wow after a steady spot for so long once again, this is disheartening especially since its so close to First Friday.

  • UPDATE: Official statement from the Arts Garage.
  • In other L&I news, Loie was raided Friday by L&I and the police department around 10:30. Benja Styles was playing as he is resident on Fridays. I stepped outside and the police came up and handcuffed the bouncer, turned the lights on, music off and completely shut down the place. Everyone was required to show ID before leaving. Loie is again operating on normal hours.
