This weekend I’m doing a mini-tour that I’m calling ‘Deep House in the Deep South‘ … Louisiana and Texas, look out. If you happen to be in one of these cities then I really hope you’ll check me out:
Thursday, March 18 – Baton Rouge, LA at Dirty Disco
I dig Dirty Disco. I’ve played this night before and it was a total blast. Baton Rouge knows how to get down, really they do. This takes place at The L Bar, located at 174 South Blvd., Baton Rouge LA 70802. $5 cover, 18 and up, doors at 9 PM and the night goes until 2 AM. You can grab a lot more info at this page: www.myspace.com/dirtydiscobr
Saturday, March 20 – New Orleans, LA at Hymnz at Ampersand
I’m ready to serve up a boiling pot of eclectic house music gumbo at this bi-monthly house music party at the Moloko Lounge (inside of Ampersand Night Club). The venue is located at 110 Tulane Ave., New Orleans LA 70112. $10 cover / $5 w/ RSVP / Ladies free till 11 PM, 21 and up, doors at 10 PM and the music goes until 4 AM. More information to be found by clicking HERE.
Sunday, March 21 – Austin, TX at Light Bar
It’s the last minutes of SXSW and I’ll try to keep the party going with a frantic DJ set at Light Bar. The night in quite enticingly named Space Odyssey Disco which bodes well. Light Bar is located at 408 Congress Avenue, Austin TX 78701. I don’t really have a lot more information except that my Spidey-sense is telling me this will be a whole lot of fun. Show up and be surprised. You can find Light Bar on MySpace here: www.myspace.com/lightbaraustin
Beautiful! I hope to see you at one (or more) of the gigs!

Today Xeni Jardin of the illustrious Boing Boing was featured in Amoeba Records‘ regular segment “What’s In My Bag?” where the guest picks musical recommendations from within the store’s vast inventory. The always generous Jardin gave a fantastic plug to yours truly and held up a vinyl 12″ of my This Time single. I’m humbled.
So, there may be a lot of new people looking at this site today. Hello. If you’d like to check out some of my music, maybe for the first time, then know that I’ve got pretty much everything I’ve recorded streaming in its entirety on my Soundcloud page, which can be found by clicking HERE. Admittedly, that’s a lot of music, so here are some suggestions as to where to start:
- I’m a big fan of the distant collaboration/Third Mind technique known as remixing, and I’m remixing all the time. So most of my latest production work involves remixes. You can listen to my most recent remixes HERE.
- I’m probably best known for my compact discs released by Astralwerks. You can listen to my first album Feng Shui by clicking HERE and the second, Invisible Airline, which prominently features the vocals of Ms. Lisa Shaw, by clicking HERE.
- I also DJ in various cities quite a bit. You probably noticed some upcoming gig dates on this web site. I’ve got a load of DJ mixes in various styles that you can listen to and download at will HERE.
I’ve also got a Facebook fan page where I post all sorts of new DJ mixes, unreleased tracks, news, and salacious gossip … you can find this here: www.facebook.com/QBurnsAbstractMessage
Lastly, I’m can be found on Twitter where I actively post about my activities and obsessions (which generally include foreign movie poster art, Lucha Libre, and deceased beat writers): www.twitter.com/qburns
Thanks for checking me out and I really hope you like what you hear. I’ve got a lot of new music on the way in the coming months so stay tuned. And If you’d like to contact me and say hello then feel free to do so. I’d love to hear from you.
