Electro/Retro - 2004-06-02

[Brian J. Parker]

This past Friday's Electro/Retro definitely had a strong gothic/industrial
flavor to it, with some recent and brand new tracks peppered among the
requests and classics.

I am particularly enamored of the new Front Line Assembly single, which
significantly re-works "Vanished" into an epic, really catchy club piece.
Nice b-sides, too.  Some of their best work in a while.

Taken from a DJ perspective, one of the highlights for me was perfectly
beatmixing Depeche Mode and the Dead Milkmen.  Funny stuff.  Also
surprising how seamlessly Duran Duran, Kraftwerk, and Covenant mixed
together.

I think that tomorrow is the monthly "Action Party" by Liz Salano, so no
Electro/Retro, but it is every Friday at The Upstage otherwise.  21+, free
pool, drink specials, requests cheerfully accepted by DJs "E-Z Lou",
Ancilla, and guests.
