Deep Sexy Nights

2009-04-30T14:45:00.000-07:00

DJ Jeff started off spinning Rap & Hip-Hop during the early 80's, and it wasn't long before he began to pick up house music. Dottin was also a frequenter of spots such as Axis, Club M, Avalon, Paradise, and Loft at the time. He's spun at various locations in Rhode Island, Maine, and Massachusetts, even spending some time as a radio DJ himself. Deep house is a staple sub-genre in the world of electronic music that is often overlooked but never disrespected (I definitely haven't been exploring enough of it on-air). Partyreporters, I invite you to mellow out to DJ Jeff's Deep Sexy Nights-

Roots & Routes

2009-04-05T11:50:00.000-07:00

As I have mentioned in the past, one of the aims of The Party Report is to support the local freeform radio community. Well, in order to accomplish this goal, The Party Report must occasionally venture beyond the world of Jackin' House & Pounding Techno music. Chris Hope, a DJ at Harvard's Hip-Hope Radio/The Darker Side on WHRB 95.3 FM, was able to snag an interview with Dr. Cornel West. Below are the YouTube videos to the interview. Chris and Dr. West really hit it off, making it an excellent opportunity to hear Dr. West's views on Hip-Hop, theology, philosophy, prison, Obama, and more. Get your enlightenment on!

Brenden Wesley is coming this Tuesday!

2009-02-14T11:42:00.000-08:00

This Tuesday, February 17th, The Party Report's airwaves will ooze the great sounds of Brenden Wesley. In one word, this sound is disco. While this dude can mix, to call Brenden only a DJ would not tell the full story. Dedicated to the local scene, Wesley also has his hands in producing, promoting, serious vinyl junkie-ing, and even drumming. That being said, Brenden has a couple of things that he's working on...

First is his release on Bostson's Headtune Recordings, 'New Wave Hookers'. Look out for another release on Solar Disco this spring. Then is his party on Sunday February 15th (see below), featuring the likes of Chris Devlin (Spank Rock), John Barera (FTW), DJ Knife (Marinate, Fresh Produce) and Brenden of course. Then, In couple of weeks he & DJ Supreme One will be starting a REAL Disco weekly, Disco Connection, at the Middlesex Lounge on Tuesdays. And lookout for Sunday's March 1st & 8th at the Phoenix Landing, which will feature Brenden alongside some veteran DJs, both of whom have links with DFA, one of my favourite labels.

Tune in this Tuesday @ wmfo.org from noon 'till 2!

2009-02-08T10:29:00.000-08:00

It was rather snowy outside. PJ Gray, who DJs Galactic Fractures on Sundays, was unable to make it to his usually soul-filled show. I felt the need to help a DJ out, so I substituted for him.

Ennjoy.

The Return of French Touch?

2009-01-12T03:17:00.000-08:00

Could it be? Could it be that, after five years since it's death, the year 2009 will bring us a revival of the classic French Touch? Will we witness the return of stuttered and filtered disco samples, rubbery guitar basslines, and light synths? Well, if you travel the interweb in search of remnants of French House- older tracks from artists like The Buffalo Bunch, Raw Man, The Knight Club, Cassius and DJ Falcon, you will begin to see that some these webspaces, originally formed in tribute to French Touch, are now attracting DJs. New, never-before-heard-of miniature internet rogues, who spin the old French gospel, albeit sometimes with an Electro-tinge. Presenting...

Louis la Roche

The youngster received substantial blog hype the summer of 2008. The track playing in the interview "Love" was for a time rumored to be a Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) track.

Thony Ritz

Very dorky indeed, but I suppose you can't promote yourself strictly online. On a more serious note, check his remix of Louis la Roche. This one really takes you back a good 6 years in french house history.

Jean Moustache

A weirdo, still guerrilla-marketing himself the last time I checked. He proves himself in his summer Disco mix, not in a DFA-vinyl-digging way, but in a French-silliness way. Check it out.

The Phantom's Revenge

The Phantom's Revenge @ La Villa Rouge
Uploaded by keepitcrazy

To my knowledge the most seasoned producer of the four, but doesn't seem to gather buzz the way Louis did. Notice how he plays more Electro as the crowd trickles in.

Will Daft Punk's possible incoming studio material tip the scales, providing these young DJs with a rallying point to a new age of French House while simultaneously ending the edgy, Justice-led Electro scene? If there is one thing that Daft Punk is very good at aside from music, it is timing. To tie it all up, Solid Goldberger, THE blog that taught French House to the Electro kids via personal vinyl rips, recently announced a new record label headed by Eric Cherduville, Darling Records. Cherduville was involved in and produced alongside Guy-Man's (Daft Punk) record label, Crydamoure. Web 2.0, Justice, and Alive 2007 have given old French Touch the biggest following it has had in nearly a decade, and perhaps scenes are on the verge of a shift.

The Last Party Report of '08

2008-12-31T00:45:00.000-08:00

Indeed, the year has come and gone in the blink of an eye. A black President of the United States of America, A shoe-assaulted President of the United States of America, a crumbling economy, and a Jamaican World Record Holder are a handful of the images that will be etched into the 2008 monolith. December 9th was The Party Report's last Radio Show of the year, and featured a live mix from DJ/Producer Oliver Huntemann for the Play! [Live] compilation series. Huntemann is a German DJ who actually used to breakdance back in the day (or so he claims). His style, which could be confused with minimal techno, sounds more like a techno-influenced-minimalized-electrohouse, if that makes sense to anyone. He likes to collaborate with Stephan Bodzin, who apparently enjoys DJing with this touch-screen interface device.

Will we ever see the old Kanye again?

2008-12-29T15:32:00.000-08:00

Now, lets not take this post in the wrong light. There's nothing wrong with experimenting. One can't blame artists for being artists who create art. 'Pushing the boundaries' and 're-shaping the game' is not a sin. All things considered, you can't blame the man for being introspective in his latest album, '808's and Heartbreak.'

All I am saying is that I hope when Kanye West is ready to put down the Auto-Tune, he remembers what GOOD music is.

Welcome. Welcome to music. Welcome to the fresh. Welcome to being original instead of trying. Welcome to just having a good time, without knowing the names of the songs, the bands, or the DJs. Welcome to remembering that night when that song sounded different that time. Welcome to belting the choruses out loud until you forget why you had started in the first place. Welcome to bringing it back so that it can bring you back. Welcome to feeling it.

Welcome to The Party Report.

It's a simple concept. I broadcast a live radio show from WMFO 91.5 FM, a freeform radio station in Medford, Massachusetts, and this website (as its main function) archives & documents the broadcasts.

Let me explain in more detail.

My radio show airs on Tuesday mornings from 11am until 1pm EST. If you would like to hear it LIVE, you must:

Tune your FM radio to 91.5 FM while in the Medford/Somerville/Boston Area, or

Go to wmfo.org and click on the Windows Media Player or the iTunes icon at the top of the page.

However, if you would rather hear me DEAD (i.e. pre-recorded), this blog is your best bet.

The Party Report is a place to hear the latest in house, techno, and whichever sub-genres the DJs are filling their crates with at the moment, in addition to a place for local DJs and producers to be heard. That being said, if you would like to be featured on The Party Report, be it guest mix, interview, or to promote an event in the Boston area, don't hesitate to e-mail forcedtripledjs at gmail dot com.
