Diggin’ – A New Podcast Series by Mirrorballs

Clifford Brown — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:16:40 +0000

We, at Mirrorballs, have always liked to share what we dig. In our podcasts, in our DJ sets, in our late night shots distributin’… and today, we feel no different. We have come up with an idea to ask our homies to do a mix with tracks they love, but almost never played in a club. The tracks can’t be too new – they need to be at least six months old, tried & tested in your earbuds or your home systems. And there are only 10 of ‘em in the mix. Sounds good?

The first one to try it is, of course, our mascot Marinelli. He has assembled a nice collection of groovy, chunky organic groovers. The kind of set that makes you wanna make love on the couch with random images on the TV in the background.

Here’s the link. And here’s the tracklist:

1 – David August – Rebound Bro

2 – Einzelkind – Cooper

3 – OST & Kjex – Cajun Lunch

4 – Philip Bader – Big Mac

5 – Tony Lionni feat. Marvin Belton – Precious (Deetron Remix)

6 – Patrick Lindsey – Lass Mich Raus

7 – Smokin Jo – Native Dance

8 – Toscano & Daleo – Tompetas

9 – Oxia & Eric Borgo – Plastic Bed

10 – Robbie Taylor – Vodka

We sincerely hope y’all enjoy!

Mirrorballs October Podcast by Pierre de Lux

Clifford Brown — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:30:34 +0000

We, at Mirrorballs, often invest time in partying and polishing our various friendships around town. To our livers’ peril, we roam the city’s clubs after dark, we slowly but steadily damage our hearing, and we always push back our bed time – sleep procrastinators supreme.

Despite our day jobs, we deliver. We get shit done. And the latest accomplishment is Pierre de Lux‘ October podcast, an expertly mixed collage of tech-house varieties, including tracks by Cassius, Ramiro Lopez and Jamie Woon. A little darkness never hurt, especially at a time where the leaves are dying and falling from their trees. All you need to get through these brown times are scarves, hoodies, facial hair and Pierre’s mix playing at maximum volume in your AWD car.

You can stream / download it right here.

And here’s the track list:

Raw Instinct – De La Bass (Mousse T House Mix)
Sketch, Joyce Muniz – New in Town feat. Sketch (Original Mix)
Jamie Woon – Night air (Sascha Braemer edit)
Harvey McKay – Show Face (Original Mix)
Macromism – Groover (Original Mix)

ROUX Soundsystem’s upcoming week-end of debauchery

Clifford Brown — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 20:24:01 +0000

While Marinelli was in Turks & Caicos, Clifford played alongside Peter Anthony at Parking and with M A N I K at Daomé. Now that the red beast is back, we’ve planned a week-end packed full of nice events to celebrate his 31st birthday in style.

First off, we have the honor of playing with Rilly Guilty at Refresh on Thursday night at Parking. With its 3$ drinks & cover charge, the big dancefloor and big beats, it’s a nice way to start the week-end on a high note.

Then, on Friday, we are joining Peter Anthony & Arsen as they celebrate their night’s 3rd anniversary. Futuristicfunk sure ain’t getting any younger, but it’s never been groovier & healthy. It’s all going down at Salon Daomé and you can get on the list by sending your complete names via email right here.

After that, we’re heading to Stereo to fulfill every Montreal DJ’s fantasy: to make our debut appearance at the Temple of Sound. We have been waiting for this chance for a long time. We will play a peak time spot. AND we will have reduced tickets for y’all with us at Daomé. We are playing after Ostrich, at 3:30, and are set to go until 6:30 AM. Vincent Lemieux is closing the night. You can also buy your tickets in advance right here. We would of course feel priviledged to see everybody we love there. Those who have supported us over the years, those who have recently started following us, and even our beloved haters. Because as much as you hate, you will never touch us, we’re having too much of a good time to notice you. ROUX always.

The upcoming ROUX Soundsystem week-end

Clifford Brown — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:15:11 +0000

At the ROUX Soundsystem head office, we like to keep busy. It’s a way to keep our mind sharp, our fingers sharpened, and our eyes focused on the future. We have a few nice nights lined up for the next week-end and we wanted to share ‘em with y’all.

On Thursday, at our weekly Refresh night at Parking, we have the pleasure of welcoming Mateo Murphy on the decks. Mateo is a techno legend, a genuine Montreal pioneer who doesn’t really need any introduction. Should you need one, however, you can always check out the interview we did with the man in 2009.

On Friday, we have the pleasure of playing at the vernissage of Jérôme Suard‘s first expo. Jérôme is without a doubt one of our favorite nightlife photographers, but he also has other interests & subjects he views through his lenses. “Jérôme Suard is French. He is like a X-rated Tintin. Born in Lucinges during the seventies, he is now a full-time montrealer and has embraced the city’s fast-paced lifestyle. Emotions and instinct are his fuel, and provoking is what keeps him going. Seize the light. Never let your guard down. The paparazzi is here.” It’s going down at Espace Griffintown, from 5 to 11 PM, and you can find out all the details on the Facebook event.

On Saturday, it’s time for the long-awaited Subwoofer et la recherche de l’été perdu, a Nuit Blanche event presented by Galerie Armatta at the beautiful Rialto Theater. A warm & breezy summer night will be recreated inside the theater through a slideshow of pictures, a friendly atmosphere, and sunny house music played by Seb Fauteux, Fred Everything and ourselves. To say we’re looking forward would be an understatement. The best part? It’s FREE.
