This Saturday: Marcelo Medeiros at Crooked Bayou

Last July I had the pleasure of embarking on a three week DJ tour of Chile and Brazil, playing almost ten DJ dates in the midst of plane rides, sightseeing, and friend-making. One of the cities I visited for the first time was Curitiba in southern Brazil. It’s quite an urban, developed metropolis full of cool architecture and yummy Italian restaurants. It’s also the home my buddy Marcelo Medeiros, who runs the Discotheque radio station and record label, and who served as my able tour guide the twenty four hours I spent in his city. I know Marcelo as I he broadcasts my monthly Invisible Airwaves show on his Discotheque Radio (which transmits worldwide via their web site … check it out – www.discothequeradio.com). It’s possible that you remember Marcelo from almost exactly a year ago when we presented our Springtime In Brazil party at Sky60. Marcelo guested and provided an expertly mixed set of deep house and vocal tracks, featuring many producers and tunes from the country of Brazil.

This week Marcelo Medeiros has returned to Orlando for a bit of fun, sun, and theme parkin’ and thus we’re happy once again to host him for another house music shindig. This time we’re taking over Crooked Bayou, on this upcoming Saturday night, for a dose of top quality house music, Brazilian and otherwise. I, Mr. Q-Burns Abstract Message, will be joining Marcelo for this evening of tunes as well Rob Slac of Chillin Music. There’s no cover, it’s 21 and up, and the music will start about 10:00 PM. You can count on great friends, atmosphere, and lovely tunes perfect for dancing or chilling out while enjoying your tater tots and/or stiff drink.

This all takes place this Saturday night, October 2, at Crooked Bayou located at 50 East Central Blvd., Orlando, FL 32801, (407) 839-5852. Click HERE for a map or directions. RSVP via our Facebook by clicking HERE. We’ll see you on Saturday night!

P.S. – Also, if you didn’t know already, I’ll be joining San Francisco/Montreal DJ Fred Everything and Atnarko at The Peacock Room the night before, Friday, September 1. It will be a great weekend for house music in Orlando!

This Friday: Fred Everything at ¡Club Queso!

The team at ¡Club Queso! has always promised to bring everything you could ever want in a top notch fun time house music night in Orlando. Now the “everything” bit can be taken literally: transporting down from San Francisco for the next event will be our esteemed DJ friend Fred Everything. In addition to his indisputable floor-quaking DJ skills, Mr. Everything is quite the renowned producer. His debut album, Under The Sun, recorded for Britain’s 20/20 Vision label is considered a classic by many. Fred’s recent move from Montreal to San Francisco cemented his relationship with Om Records who have released his latest album Lost Together, featuring contributions from Roy Davis Jr., Tortured Soul, Lisa Shaw, and N’dea Davenport from The Brand New Heavies. In addition to all this, Fred commandeers his own Lazy Days label which has released bits by the likes of Brett Johnson, Lovebirds, Joshua IZ, and our own Atnarko. No less than Buzzin Fly‘s Ben Watt has called Fred Everything “one of my favorite deep house producers.” We think he’ll soon be one of yours, too, as Everything’s Queso debut should inspire your dance floor conversion. A special night of extra special music is in the offing.

Sonic support comes in the form of ¡Club Queso! residents Q-Burns Abstract Message and Atnarko who will supply their special brand of deep, funky goodness prior to the main attraction. Lola B will be on hand lovingly adjusting the atmosphere and Show Source Productions will be bringing the booming bassbins.

This all happens on Friday, October 1 at The Peacock Room, located at 1321 North Mills Avenue, next to the corner of Mills and Virgina. Click HERE for a map or directions. Call (407) 228-0048 for information. $10 cover for this special event, $7 with Facebook RSVP. 21 and up, doors at 10 PM.

We’ll see you soon for Fred Everything at ¡Club Queso!

P.S. – and on Saturday, October 3, I’ll be DJ’ing at Crooked Bayou with my special friend Marcelo Medeiros of Discotheque Radio, visiting all the way from Curitiba, Brazil, and Rob Slac of Chillin Music. More info on this soon … it’s gonna be a great weekend for house music in Orlando!
