“PLS&TY – Yours (ft. Tudor)”

June 19, 2023

Florida native PLS&TY brings another track from his upcoming EP, 3 Days, 2 Nights, this time bringing a club-oriented “night side” track. The infectious rhythm envelops the room, urging bodies to move in sync with its magnetic pull with Welsh singer/songwriter Tudor in tow. This track admires earlier tracks from the EP, “Party In My Head” feat. Lost Boy, which is currently Top 30 charting at Dance Radio, as well as “New Color,” serving as the darker sibling to their “day side” vibes. Amidst the electrifying beats, the lyrics weave a narrative of liberation, embracing the freedom to be unapologetically oneself. As the beat picks up midway through the song PLS&TY says, “when the night comes down” encapsulating the “night club” anthem. As the neon lights illuminate the crowded dance floor, this song takes center stage, merging pulsating basslines with progressive lyrics. The progressive nature of the song transcends mere[...]

Tonight: Dance Yrself Clean Presents World War III

January 21, 2017

Tonight, Buffalo’s newest ongoing dance party series returns with a special event  at Milkie’s commemorating our new American now: World War III. There is absolutely no better way to celebrate the 45th President of the United States than a fun, apocalypse themed dance party with all your friends, some stellar DJs, and the proceeds going to the ACLU, who’s going to need the funds more than ever. Sure America is going to a dark, dark place and looking inwards, but Dance Yrself Clean’s DJs are going international, celebrating danceable hipster jams from all over the world. Tom Burtless (Humble Braggers, Honey COMA, Girl Jeans) will be covering Australia, Ben Parsons (Goth Prince of Spookyville) has Canada, Nick Muldoon (local cool dude; noted anglophile) will be repping the UK, Bryan Johnson (Bryan Johnson & The Family, Mutual Friends, Honey COMA) will be kicking out Japan’s finest jams while Allison Lavis (lead[...]

Tonight: Transmission Dance Party

December 31, 2014

Time travel back to the future this New Year’s Eve at Mohawk Place. Just two years ago, it was the end of an era when they closed their doors, but now you can dance your way into 2015 for just $5 at the famed venue. Doors for Transmission, a long-storied Buffalo dance party tradition, are at 10pm, and if you want to catch your favorite tracks from everyone from Robert Smith to Robert Palmer, you’ll show up on time and ready to dance. It’s a New Wave, New Order kind of evening, and while there’s no dress code, you should definitely come dressed to impressed in your best black and sexiest scowl. Bill Page and Jason Draper might call themselves the worst DJ’s in Buffalo, but the consistently packed dance floor at their events say otherwise. Ring in the New Year right tonight with the best dance party in Buffalo.[...]

Heavy Rotation: Rick Jameson

September 8, 2014

Artists love to have alter egos, and in this case, Spooky Business DJ Rick Jameson has many. If you want to call him by his government name, address him as Sean ‘Seabass’ Heidinger, who by day is the Classified Advertising Director for  Artvoice, a cover not unlike Clark Kent or Peter Parker. At night, however, he is saving people…from boring nights and bad music. As one half of “World-Class DJ Supergroup” Spooky Business, Spooky Sean got his start at a Buffalo mainstay of nights that are unforgettable yet you can’t remember them, the Pink. Like the DJ, the bar also goes by other names, including it’s the actual one, Allen Street Bar and Grill, inexplicably nicknamed The Old Pink.  From here, business only got bigger and better, and now the duo plays bars and clubs all over the 716. This Friday, the blog’s second installment of our Heavy Rotation series takes[...]

Depeche Mode v. New Order flier

Tonight: Depeche Mode Vs. New Order Dance Party

April 4, 2014

If these dance parties are any indication, the 80’s must have been a tough time for fans of British music, you constantly had to pick a side. The Smiths vs. The Cure, Depeche Mode vs. New Order, Wham vs. Boy George. Ok, I pulled the third one out of my ass but still, tonight’s dance party is the second in a series of knock down drag out fights where the only winner is you and your need to dance. Following last months’ Smiths vs. Cure party, the team behind Transmission Dance Party and On the Wire will be hosting a Depeche Mode vs. New Order party at Hardware tonight. Legitimate heavyweights of British electronic music, tonight will be dedicated exclusively to exploring their respective catalogs. This means that, as long as they play nothing either band did in recent years (please), this dance party will feature nothing but classics. And really,[...]
