Dancing Speaking of Cosmic Disco
Posted by Erin Resso on Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Will someone please bring The Magician to Seattle? The Belgian producer makes the sort of discotheque missives that would find themselves equally at home on the Blade Runner soundtrack as they would as inspirations for a backlit Flashdance number. His remixes have everything you need to make people sweat: piano stabs and big beats kept slick enough to keep things from congealing into one of those disgusting holiday cheese balls.
Check out his Magic Tapes to get an idea of the havoc he would wreak on a Seattle dance floor:

Dancing Beats, Beats, and more Beats on BBC
Posted by Charles Mudede on Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 12:44 PM
Digging this right now:
Gilles's third retrospective takes on dancefloor and soundsystem culture, with a focus on Broken Beat, Brazilian Drum and Bass and the emergence of Dubstep. Connecting the dots from Detroit to Chicago, Croydon to Berlin, with words from MIA, Skream & Benga, and Mala.Gilles Peterson goes straight to the dance floor and stays there for two solid hours.
Plus there are session tracks from the archive, with Bugz In The Attic from Maida Vale, and a recording of SBTRKT and Sampha performing live back in 2010. If that wasn't enough, there are over 50 tracks in total, crammed into 2 hours!

Dancing / Tonight K-Pop!
Posted by Anna Minard on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 3:07 PM
I'm so not keeping up with K-Pop's long, slow, inevitable takeover of planet earth. Look! I did not know that Billboard had a K-Pop Hot 100! Also, does anyone else watch these guys? They make videos about K-Pop music videos. They're Canadians who moved to South Korea to teach English, fell in love with the culture—especially the pop music—and now just make funny videos full time.
This is all because tonight is JK Pop!, a J-Pop/K-Pop dance party, and it costs exactly zero dollars, and our wonderful Homosexual Agenda columnist, Adrian Ryan, recommends it, so obviously you should go.
From DJ Bishie's bio on their Facebook page:
1/5 of Seattle's electro-pop group Noddy, Reese holds down the keyboards, synthesizers, and enjoys pushing his not-so-secret J/K-pop agenda on his band mates. Preferring the ladies of J/K-pop over the gentlemen, he has been known to spend 8-hours non-stop learning dance moves from the likes of groups such as 2NE1 and T-ara by very carefully studying their YouTube videos. If you come to this, there's a good 99% chance that he will bust out a choreographed dance, so beware.
By "beware," he obviously means "YOU'RE WELCOME, IN ADVANCE." The other host, DJ Baby Love Crash says her "childhood consisted mainly of a VHS tape of My Neighbor Totoro," which is very promising. 8 pm at the Alibi Room!

Dancing Even Little Kids Love THEESatisfaction
Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 5:02 PM
Someone who went to the Stranger-suggested family-friendly THEESatisfaction show at Town Hall this morning sent some cell phone photos, along with this review:
Cool show. Lots of young kids dancing to a lesbian hiphop show in the basement of what used to be a church at 10:00 am on a Saturday morning. God bless Seattle.
Hear, hear!

Sex / Dancing / Video / #1 Fan Happy Sunny Friday!
Posted by Anna Minard on Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 3:15 PM
This was playing at Marination Station a little while ago, and I almost died of happiness. I don't love the video as much as "Shoop" and "Push It," but the song is one of the most purely awesome things humans have ever created, and you should listen to it now and whenever you are feeling a little weird and need to shake it off.
Everyone at Marination was tapping their feet and dancing while sitting on the stools waiting for their food. (Also, their food is crazy delicious.) It's Friday, and it's real pretty out, and everyone should listen to hella Salt-N-Pepa and then go out tonight.
Also, true fact: Performing this song with your mom at a family reunion is a 100% sure hit. You're welcome!

Dancing Dance Off!: The Dude In The Black Keys Video VS. Aunt Carol Usher
Posted by Kelly O on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 1:19 PM
There seems to be an overwhelming amount of videos with, um, older men and women lately. Are we exploiting our elders? Our great, great grandmas? Making them dance to lyrics like “get your grandma on my dick”?! Maybe it's all in fun. Maybe there should just be a dance-off. Vote the winner! Note Black Keys dude at the 1:35 mark. And and Aunt Carol at 0:24. On a related note, Black Keys play Seattle on May 8th.

Posted by Grant Brissey on Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 2:56 PM
Here's some weirdly placed cameras that do a decent job of catching what an absolute blast Wild Orchid Children are live:
They're fun live in a way that their records don't always convey. And then guess what else we did? We got Wheedle's Groove to headline! They don't even sound anything like each other! We're Crazy! What's more you ask? What's more is we have the venerable OC Notes deejaying as well as Emerald City Soul Club. There is so much dance for your ass at this party that you won't be able to move it for a week. All of this for only $7. YOU ARE STEALING IT. All the pertinent info for the party is right here. Buy your tickets right now and let's do this thing.
