New Music from Mareux and Ultra Sunn + More of What You Heard in the New Wave vs. Darkwave Room at Nocturno on June 28, 2025

At maybe a quarter after 2 a.m., when I was waiting for my ride home from Nocturno, I heard “Afuera” coming from somewhere outside of Catch One and looked up to see someone sitting on the bus stop across the street from the venue, playing a conga drum along with the Caifanes classic while a … Continue reading New Music from Mareux and Ultra Sunn + More of What You Heard in the New Wave vs. Darkwave Room at Nocturno on June 28, 2025 →

There’s a lot of new music that came out in the past few weeks and a three of those songs made it into last night’s set in the new wave vs. darkwave room at Klub Nocturno. “Laugh Now Cry Later” from Mareux, which turned up really early in the set, is the lead single from … Continue reading New Music From Mareux, Pixel Grip and Sextile + More of What You Heard at Nocturno on May 9, 2025 →

The Beatique Mix 2/25 feat. Chromatics, FKA Twigs, Mareux, Optometry and More

On Sunday night, when I was DJing at The Mermaid for Splash! I mixed together “Cherry” from Chromatics with “Drums of Death,” from FKA Twigs’ latest album, and Mareux’s songs “DTLA.” It was one of those impromptu things that I really liked and I made a mental note to keep that in mind for future … Continue reading The Beatique Mix 2/25 feat.

Ultra Sunn, French Police, N8NOFACE and Everything Else You Heard in the New Wave/Darkwave Room at Nocturno 11/01/25

It’s Halloween weekend and the Dodgers won the World Series a handful of minutes before the club opened. Needless to say that the vibe was strong at Klub Nocturno on Saturday night. I was in the DJ booth in the new wave vs. darkwave all night and, even when the room was at its most … Continue reading Ultra Sunn, French Police, N8NOFACE and Everything Else You Heard in the New Wave/Darkwave Room at Nocturno 11/01/25 →

Cerrone, Christine and the Queens and More of What You Heard at Club Underground on Halloween

I’ve had Cerrone’s new version of “Supernature,” with Christine and the Queens on vocals, on my laptop since it came out last summer, but I’ve only played it out once before tonight. IDK why as it’s a really good, fresh version of a disco classic. Anyhow, I played it for the second time tonight because … Continue reading Cerrone, Christine and the Queens and More of What You Heard at Club Underground on Halloween →

Ultra Sunn Unleashes The Beast in You

Last week, Ultra Sunn released The Beast in You. While the Belgian duo’s sophomore album isn’t quite a departure from previous club hits like “Keep Your Eyes Peeled” and “Broken Monsters,” or last year’s debut full-length, US, it shows some welcome growth from the EBM outfit.  Heavily influenced by European dance music of the late … Continue reading Ultra Sunn Unleashes The Beast in You →

Beatique Mix, Sept. 2025 with Music from Gorillaz, Bob Vylan, Heaven 17 and more

Over the weekend, I realized that it’s been a few months since I made a mix, so this is a quick set with some dance tunes and some rock tunes. It’s mostly new music, but I threw in a couple oldies that fit my mood. There’s no real adherence to genre because that’s not how … Continue reading Beatique Mix, Sept. 2025 with Music from Gorillaz, Bob Vylan, Heaven 17 and more →

The New Eves, Confidence Man and More of What You Heard at Underground on 8/22/25

Earlier this month, I read a review of The New Eves album The New Eve Is Rising, which referenced The Slits and The Wicker Man, on Bandcamp and promptly bought the album based on my love of post-punk and the original 1973 The Wicker Man, which is the only version of the film that matters … Continue reading The New Eves, Confidence Man and More of What You Heard at Underground on 8/22/25 →

New Alison Goldfrapp, Tyler the Creator and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid on 8/17/25

It’s been a minute since I’ve DJed at The Mermaid, long enough where I hadn’t seen how the corner near the DJ booth now looks like an underwater cave (see pic above). It’s super cute. Anyhow, last night was an open format set, so you heard everything from new Alison Goldfrapp and Tyler the Creator … Continue reading New Alison Goldfrapp, Tyler the Creator and Everything Else You Heard at The Mermaid on 8/17/25 →
