Ready the resurrection bodies folks, because The RAPTURE is upon us! So is it pre-trib, mid-trib or post-trib? And are you truly ready to be taken away so very early in the night? And what the heck am I even talking about? Here’s a hint: It starts with an Official Unnofficial and end with an Afterparty, only this month the booty shaking begins promptly at 9pm. No messing around this time, we’ve got true believers that need to dance their way to salvation and it’s gonna take at least 5 hours to get them there. So buy your tickets early and get on the Goodship this TNO, staring DJ Mattie Safer as your captain and etc. as your all-star crew.
…holy smokes, The Rapture DJ’s!!!
The sound line-up:
11 pm - mattie safer of The Rapture: Can you say basement after-party disco beats, and basically the entire premises for this press release? Flying solo for TNO, he’s been out on tour with three of the other Rapture dudes this summer playing DJ. (Bands are so passé, anyway). And when I say playing I mean dominating. And when I say Rapture, I mean as in House of Jealous lovers. And when I say DJ, I mean as in no-band-in-tow. Color me a believer.
9:30 pm - the pelham 123: Give it up for the souls in Purgatory, because this kid is a soulful skipper if there ever was one! Pelham is relocating from NYC to Troy for one night only to add a little cloven hoof-style mischievous house music to the mix. Certainly no stranger to the Afterparty, Mr. Pelham knows how we like to move it up here in the 518. He doles out house sounds of the underground mixed with some dirty beats and thunderous bumps. Every flock needs a little temptation from the righteous path once in a while.
opening - mcgillicuddy: Trust me, you really want to bunk with this cat on a one-way trip to paradise. Her style is 100% “up in the bedroom”, and I don’t mean of the sensual fashion. Imagine someone went through all the records from every decade, picked out only the hot songs, and then invited you up to their bedroom to listen at top volume. No Parental Units + records + cheap (legal) booze = Winning Combo. Thank heaven for little girls.
12:30 am - back from japan: BFJ is our shepard for the night, and when this kid throws it down you shall not want. Period. ‘Nuff said. WWBFJD?
1:30 am - jenks: If Goodship was really a ship and really had a bow up front, there would be a figurehead protruding in the shape of Jenks, whose job would be to part any seas encountered. He’s like a swinging battle axe of knowledge, except instead of knowledge he swings bass lines.
vision:
fielderblank - sound art and snazzy suits by day, VJ by night. Instrumentalization meets pretty pictures on his output source in a way that will make any wafers and wine combo hugely more satisfying than if eaten alone. And that’s kind of funny, cause his video is calming like cookies and milk after school but in a pg-13 kind of kitchen. Maybe with Garth’s mom from Waynes World serving them.
color commentary - it’s more like a movie in mini segments. A movie-ella? This kid has got video fans, folks. Prepare to stop dancing and stare in genuine interest and sometimes utter shock as his live edited antics float across the screen. Director Color Commentary is what I call him behind his back when I’m all alone in my room watching his work. Wait, what? Pretend I never said that.
blar - play on words is what this VJ is all about. Resist the urge to run up and scream, “arg, blarg, pirates!” in his face while he’s editing video for the masses. His work is freak-tastic and kind of fills you with the spirit and adds to the dancing convulsion on the floor. This is exactly what you’ll need to complement the Rapture DJ hottness.
