Hacksaw Entertainment and Another Planet Entertainment proudly present the return of Chicago’s infamous DJ duo, FLOSSTRADAMUS.

Consisting of J2K (Josh Young) and DJ Autobot (Curt Cameruci), this renowned DJ tag-team (3 turntables, 2 mixers) have excited dance-floors the world over, gracing the stages of nearly every major US festival, such as Pitchfork, Rothbury, SXSW, WMC, Monolith (and a slew of European one’s you’ve never heard of).

After making URB’s “Next 100″ list, the duo’s career took off, helping to launch fellow Chicago talent Kid Sister and The Cool Kids along the way.

Bringing together a unique blend of club, hip-hop, house, obscure remixes, juke, and a bunch of genres you’ll discover in about four months, these extremely talented DJs are not to be missed!

Support from Sleazemore (Lights Down Low) and Shane King (Hacksaw Entertainment).

21+ / Doors at 8:30PM / Show at 9:00PM / $20

Check out Big Bills at Green Label Sound, Flosstradamus’ MySpace for tour info, and the duo’s website for anything else you may be looking for.

Hacksaw Entertainment, Goldsweat & BRSLQ present a showcase of new music for 2010.

Jinder - playing live in SF for the first time, this 20.y.o Swedish singer/producer will blow you away. Dark, synth based disco with distinctive vocals have earned her comparisons to Lykke Li and Little Boots… but this is much Dancier music, and She has been signed to NYC’s Trouble & Bass label along with Drop The Lime & AC Slater!

Mike 2600 (Burlesque)
Starting off as a college radio DJ in St. Louis, Mike learned his way around a pair of turntables and began building his record collection, spinning at parties on campus and around the city. In 1999, he released “Yars’ Revenge,” a 4-track mixtape of funk breaks, scratch routines, and Black Sabbath and Sesame Street samples.
Residing in Minneapolis, Mike can be found cutting up funk, disco, classic hip hop, oldies, Miami Bass, and ’80s rock and R&B at parties and clubs around town, opening up for acts such as Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, The Rub, Spankrock, Atmosphere, DJ Steinski, and Prince Paul.

Sticky K (Dubsided/Goldsweat)
Dave Taylor’s (Switch) taste-making record label, Dubsided, has been churning out big tunes for near a decade. Staying true from the first release, Dubsided Records has more Cy Young awards than Tim Lincecum and Jim Palmer put together.

A few artists have had career launching EPs including; Jesse Rose, Nadastrom, Solid Groove, Switch, Herve, Lee Mortimer, Trevor Loveys and of course the Bay Area’s very own Sticky K.

Sticky K has produced a grip of remixes for the likes of Crookers, Lady Gaga, B. Rich, La Roux, MSTRKRFT, Maluca, Larry Tee and Amanda Blank! Its no secret his sound is loud… and he’s only just begun. Sticky K has a host of new remixes all over the blogs, and a 2nd EP out soon on Dubsided.

ADVANCED TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT. 50-100 tickets will be available at the door.

An elusive new project from composer Alan Palomo. Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, Dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts. Forged after a hazy winter gathering in Texas, this initial batch of tracks were the result of field recordings, record samples, a collection of bizarre synth sounds. Soliciting the visual acrobatics of Video artist Alicia Scardetta, this project is setting out to be a multimedia maelstrom.

Orbiting around the themes of drug induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, this music provides a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui. Neon Indians bedroom ballads have already forged the debut full-length Psychic Chasms, out now and rated 8.6 by Pitchfork with the Best New Music tag.

The first release, single Deadbeat Summer, already made it’s way around the blogs and received a 9/10 and Best New Music status from Pitchfork.

$10 tickets are available now via  Brown Paper Tickets.

Support from The Love X Nowhere
Nite Jewel has been added to the date! - awesome slowed-down disco stuff, don’t miss!

Doors 8pm.  Show 9pm  18+

Special edition of Disco vs. Dubstep with Brooklyn’s In Flagranti at Poleng Lounge.

In Flagranti perform live for a very special edition of Disco vs. Dubstep, showcasing their cosmic ‘cut and paste’ disco sound, described by XLR8R Magazine as “rare grooves from another planet”.

Starting their own label “Codek Records” twelve years ago, Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor  aimed to explore the cosmic background in every possible way by creating and putting together different elements of art/graphic design and styles of music in to a seamless flow. Their DIY attitude, Woman-Glamour-Trash-Chic design aesthetic, extensive catalogue of releases, and now legendary mix tapes, have gained them a strong following and street credibility in New York and abroad. If their already impressive live show weren’t enough, In Flagranti pushes the envelope further by adding video clips that accompanies each of their songs.

Support from Bender, with Kid Kameleon and Dials in the dubstep room.
18+ - 10:00pm-2:00am - $5 cover

Hacksaw Entertainment & Another Planet present the Outside Lands kick-off dance party at the Independent. .

Holy Fuck are a Toronto-based experimental rock quartet who play modern electronic music, except without laptops, synths or samplers. The only conventional instruments they use are a drum kit and a bass guitar, with the rest of the sounds created by toy keyboards, effects pedals and even a 35-mm film synchronizer. The resulting sound is fast-paced aggressive, fun and highly danceable, played with such energy you will leave the show in no doubt of how this band got their name.

Watch Holy Fuck play the track “Royal Gregory” at Nuemo’s in Seattle.

Support acts are City Lights and Ghosts on Tape

Tickets are $15 available from Ticketweb or in person with no fees at the Independent Box Office (628 Divisadero at Hayes).

Hacksaw Entertainment presents The New Deal at The Independent on Friday 24th July.

Nothing to do with Roosevelt, The New Deal are one of the pioneers of the live electronic music movement. So much so they even have their own term for it - livetronica.

DJ Morale will be warming up the crowd from 9pm - he’s played with everyone from STS9 to MSTRKRFT, so if you know what’s what you’ll be there earlier to catch what is sure to be a superb set.
