611 Records is Moving

611 Records is moving from their current location at 611 South 4th Street. Nigel shouldn't have a problem finding a new place now that he is a realtor. To help with the move, everything in the store is marked down by 50% so start digging. The new location will be announced on 6/11/07.

UPDATE: Use code 58af9a on 611records.com when checking out for 50% off as well.
Bonus: Dieselboy - Live set at Bassrush 3 in 1996

Background story: Bassrush parties happened in the Baltimore area and were put on by Ultraworld who also threw parties at the DC armory and now every year outside at Ft. Armistead park with Starscape. Lonnie, the founder, now runs Sonar in Baltimore. Bonus trivia: One of his early parties was held at the Martian Martini bar in the Fells Point section of Baltimore.

What It Do : First Friday First Day of Summer

Its unseasonably warm outside, I don't see a cloud in the sky. Something seems wrong, wasn't it just 20 degrees outside last week? By the way where did February go? Oh and I decided to post this pic of the Peek a Boo Revue because I'm hoping we'll get all sorts of new Google traffic searching for burlesque or strippers or hottest moms i'd like to fuck.

Friday

• First Friday
• Philebrity has picks
• Topstitch grand re-opening. How could I forget? Big things, keep your ears peeled.
  
• White Tees White Belts at the Ukie. But you should already know.
• Cover is $5 actually, heres a handy dandy map

• Then there is the whole issue of the flyer and how SEPTA was upset and went to the club and confiscated flyers and called Dev79 directly and multiple other people. There was no cease & desist letter so I assume its ok for someone else to use the same flyer design next month.

Rowdy nites

Whats the best way to get Rowdy? Start with some crunkgria. Mix red wine, brandy and red bull. Proceed to clubs. First hit up metro for the $3 lagers and $3 Jameson shot specials, jesusjuice is optional. We head upstairs to the land of many rooms along with that bmorehipbouncehop feet,booty shaking music. Low Budget is back from his international DJ travels. Brendan continues to bring the Soultraveling vibe along with Jesone. We head back downstairs for that hiprockhop with the Swede and Steve Bloodbath. After Metro, we headed over to Transit for the afterparty.

Wow, there really is A Resurgence of Bass. When we walked into Transit the place was completely packed. From stage to back bar on the main floor and from dj booth to bathrooms downstairs. This place hasn't been that packed since the Pleasuretown parties. Dara was rocking the main floor with that breakbeat science after the Rowdy residents had just finished. Downstairs Emynd & Bo Bliz had just finished as well when former dnb and current Bmore club DJ Tittsworth stepped up. Titts dropped some exclusives from his latest EP (which you can pick up at 611 & Armands in philly) while he had the whole club bouncing. Meanwhile John B was walking around with two pieces of arm candy enjoying that bmore club before his set. We headed back upstairs for more jungle madness with Dara on the decks and Illy and Sharpness with microphone duties. John B came on and brought his signature style of dnb. We headed back downstairs and Catchdubs was rocking the downstairs like he does every week on East Village Radio. All in all an amazing time was had by all. Word is Simplefly and Substitution will be back together at Transit late April,early May for another Rowdy. Stay tuned for details.

We didn't take the usual amount of pictures but JaySimplefly and Tittsworth were taking pictures as well. Here is our pictures. Jay's pictures. Tittsworth pics haven't been posted yet but will be soon. have been posted.
UPDATE: More pictures here from Cuebik.
