STACKIN PAPER

Fri Sept 16th HYDRA! a collaborative art-danceparty-benefit @ Mexico City in Downtown Pittsburgh

Soon Pittsburgh’s multi-headed Hydra will rear it’s head from the depths of the three rivers and descend upon Downtown’s Mexico City restaurant for the first time.

Pittsburgh is criticized by some for being too small and interconnected… yet often times these same qualities are what make it great. Hydra exists with the goal of bringing social/creative groups even closer together to show that cooperation, not competition, can yield the most rewarding results. To do this, a selection of the city’s dance/electronic music promoters and multi-format artists have come together to put on one show of monstrous proportions. The Hydra artists and promoters have chosen acts and exhibits to best represent their tastes and interests in a wide variety of genres and formats on two floors of sound and art.

In addition, a buffet of Mexico City’s Mexican food will be provided for guests starting at 8 promptly, so get there early!

DJs and Musicians for the Night Include:
Chico
Clevr
Cucitroa
Cutups
Depth One
Dizcrepnnc
DJ Thermos
DJ Skooze
Expensive Shit
Keeb$
Newtronn
Nikkels
Hunted Creatures
James Gyre
JTS
Paul Fleetwood

Projected Visuals, 3D art, Sculptures and more from:
Brian Bullets
Casey Hallas
Kemical Phuture
Matt Gondek
Stephanie Armbruster

Hydra has decided to feature a great local cause for this event which helps young kids around the city learn how to play, perform and write music called Arts Greenhouse. DJ Thermos is extremely instrumental in this organization and will be there to discuss AG with guests. In addition there will be silent auctions and more to benefit the cause financially.

LazerCrunk is a club night that (normally) takes place the first thursday of every month at the Brillobox, in Pittsburgh, PA.

The idea of the night is to mix up fun, cutting edge post-genre dance music: electro crunk, new rave, street bass, indie dance, b-more bashment, robot rock, toxic dancehall, soul refixes, party mashup sounds, etc.

Cosmic Revenge bio
Some artists devote themselves to a niche style, while others craft
their work in all sorts of different avenues as the result of a broad range of influence. Bay Area producer and multi instrumentalist Cosmic Revenge falls into the latter category, as his work is hard to pin down, but boldly embarks on a mission to further the ever mutating sounds of bass and sound system culture. Before donning his current moniker, his early productions were primarily hip hop and downtempo beats influenced by DJ Shadow, Masta Ace, Portishead, Leftfield, Air, and Mobb Deep. Around 2009 he fell in love with the grooves and heavy bass of UK Garage and 2 step, citing El-B’s “The Roots of El-B” as a big turning point for his productions. This new found passion for 2 step earned him a release on Whistla’s L2S Recordings, the Psychic EP. He sought to mix his 2 step influence with his chopped up sample style and vocal edits on the much praised Rnb/talkbox jam “Late Nights” which earned him a release on Kursed and later a 12″ on Glasgow’s Fortified Audio and plays by Bok Bok and Jackmaster. Seeking to make a throwback to his love for west coast hip hop and g-funk, his 808 jam “Mind Eraser” made it onto Distal and Mite’s Embassy Recordings out of Atlanta. Fresh off releasing a single out on Car Crash Set and a remix for Lucid on the newly hyped Pelican Fly label out of Belgium, and forthcoming singles on Freshmore and Frite Nite, Cosmic Revenge has no intention on slowing down his hustle for pushing sound systems to the limit while retaining melody and class.

Fri June 3rd YINZERPARTY presents CHERRY PIE WRESTLING @ Belvederes

SHE’S MY CHERRY PIE!!!

Come watch Pittsburgh girls battle to win a cash prize by pinning the most opponents. All while covered in cherry pie!

Memorial Day is so great that we’re extending your celebration. BBQ early and enjoy dessert here.

The past 3 years of pudding wrestling have been amazing, ridiculous, fun, and inspiring. We’re having another match because February gets so many people that we want to spread the love.

We will have a projector away from the pool of cherry pie so you can view the matches outside of the ring area.

Keebs is once again calling out choking, hair pulling, boobie slaps, and pinning
Cutups is gathering an array of Cherry Pie songs and introducing each girl with their own theme song while hosting a dance party in between matches

LazerCrunk is a club night that takes place the first thursday
of every month at the Brillobox, in Pittsburgh, PA.

The idea of the night is to mix up fun, cutting edge post-genre dance music: electro crunk, new rave, street bass, indie dance, b-more bashment, robot rock, toxic dancehall, soul refixes, party mashup sounds, etc.

Mochipet bio
Born in Taiwan R.O.C. to Rocket Scientist father and Kindergarten Teacher mother, David Wang (a.k.a. Mochipet) has been tinkering with electronics since he was a child. However, not until he added music to the equation, did something special begin to take shape. Having grown up listening to metal guitar, avant-garde jazz, and mainstream hip-hop, David’s eclectic taste can now be seen in his music – ever changing, and always evolving.

His fervency for diversity can also be noted in the mixed bag of his many artist collaborations which include the likes of legendary skateboarder Ray Barbee (Powell Peralta), Techo producer Ellen Allien (Berlin), hip-hop MCs Mikah9 (Freestyle Fellowship), Casual (Hieroglyphics), and Raashan Ahmad (Crown City Rockers), electro Miami gangster Otto Von Schirach , booty bass rockstars 215 The Freshest Kids and Spank Rock (BigDada), mashup glitch tweeker Kid606 (Tigerbeat6), Edwardian suit-wearing Daedelus (Ninjatune), glitch popstars Jahcoozi (Kitty-Yo), and avant-garde jazz legend Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers).

David has also shared the stage with a myriad of influential music pioneers, including Aaron Spectre, Andrea Parker, Autechre, Bassnectar, Boom Bip, Bucovina Club, Cargo Natty, Carl Craig, Chris Clark, CLP, Cristian Vogal, Daedelus, Dat Politics, Devlin & Darko, DJ DJ Plasticman, Qbert, DJ Spooky, Drop the Lime, Ellen Allien, Felix Da Housecat, Fluokids, Flying Lotus, Ghislain Poirier, Gift of Gab, Glitchmob, Jahcoozi, Juan Maclean, Ken Ishii, Kid606, Kid Koala, Lazersword, Luke Vibert, Mary Ann Hobbs, Meat Beat Manifesto, Matmos, M.I.A, Mikah 9, Modeselektor, Otto Von Schirach, Skream, Superpitcher, The Bug, Tittsworth, and Tussle, to name a select few.

His music has been released on various record labels around the world such as Bpitchcontrol (Berlin), Creaked (Switzerland), Peace-off (France), SCION (Los Angeles), and Tigerbeat6 (Oakland). Mochipet has toured throughout America, Asia and Europe in a wide variety of underground and main stage venues such as 1015 Folsom (San Francisco), Bangface (London), Burning Man (Black Rock City), Café Du Nord (San Francisco), Club 6 (San Francisco), Dissonant Festival (Belgium), Electron Festival (Switzerland), Emerg-N-See (Portland), Equalizer Festival (Rotterdam),Gilman (Berkley), Golden Pudel Klub (Hamburg), Hemlock (San Francisco), Independent (San Francisco), Low End Theory (Los Angeles), Mighty (San Francisco), Mission Creek Music Festival (San Francisco), MAO (Beijing), Paradiso (Amsterdam), Point Ephemere (France), Re:Fest (Beligium), Rickshaw Stop (San Francisco), San Jose Museum of Art, Shelter (Shanghai), Sonic Bloom (Colorado), SXSW (Austin), The Echo (Los Angeles), The Smell (Los Angeles), Treasure Island Festival (San Francisco), WMC (Miami), and WMF (Berlin).

The clean and unique vibrations David has presented to the music arena have reached as far as the Sports and Skateboarding world as well. His song “Sharp Drest” (featuring Eric Solo and oonceoonce) is featured throughout the top-selling basketball videogame, NBA2k9 (http://2ksports.com/games/nba2k9/) alongside artists such as Beastie Boys, N.E.R.D., and The Cool Kids. You may have also heard his musical contributions on FuelTV and DIRECTV, providing hand-selected soundtracks to skate legends such as Anthony Van Engelen, Christian Hasoi, Jason “Weeman” Acuna, Laban Pheidias, Lance Mountain, Ray Barbee, and Tony Hawk.

David has also held residencies at [Eraser] Club (Los Angeles) and Trouble Club (San Francisco) along side Djs: [a]pendics shuffle, edIT (Glitchmob), John Tejada, Josh Kit Clayton, Kid606, Matt Laszuk, Philip Sherburne, and Sutekh. He recently started a new monthly in San Francisco called Petnation, selling out the venue beyond capacity while showcasing both local and international acts.

His efforts have been recognized throughout the music community by way of nominations for titles including “Best Electronic Act of 2008” from publications such as Clash Magazine (UK) and San Francisco Bay Guardian. His composition “Dessert Search for Techno Baklava” has been performed by a 20 piece orchestra, Alarm Will Sound, around the world, most notably at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and Amsterdam’s Holland Festival!

Never wasting an ounce of drive, David founded and manages independent record label, Daly City Records (DCR), which runs out of the Bay Area – home to many up-and-coming artists. He is also working to finish up two new albums, “Vendetta (with MC Zulu)” and “Rawr Means I love You in Dinosaur,” both set to hit on his label this summer!
