Before leaving for San Francisco from Portland today with Mike and Stacy of Starlight & Magic and Ian Hicks of Soft Metals to attend the SF Beats In Space Holiday Party at Triple Crown, I got a chance to speak with A. Zabriskie about his upcoming performance at BIS this Friday. This will be A Zabriskie’s first manifestation since he went on hiatus from the Cult of the Midnight Sun party at Ascension. JG Wilkes of the world famous party Optimo in Glasgow will headline this edition of BIS with support from live disco group 40 Thieves (Rong Music, Smash Hit Music, Co).I was able to get some background information on the very mysterious A. Zabriskie and am proud to announce he’s cooked up a Disco Workout exclusive DJ mix titled Pleasure Together which includes the first public appearance of an A. Zabriskie edit. Download the zip file to embark on this 45 minute journey through sound to the psychedelic world of A. Zabriskie. The track listing included in the zip file.

A. Zabriskie- Pleasure Together DJ mix

A.Zabriskie was raised in the back of a souvenir shop in Death Valley, California. Forced indoors by the harsh heat each summer, Zabriskie killed time peeling through the record collection of his adoptive medicine man-turned-shop clerk father, often messing with the speed of the records and playing along to the rhythms with whatever was handy. Fast forward to adulthood: After a few years learning to deejay in the dives of Las Vegas, Zabriskie moved to Portland, Oregon, and took up residence at the ubiquitous afterhours danceclub, Ascension, with his late-night Cult of the Midnight Sun- a midnight-to-dawn trip through spacey disco, tweaked prog and broken funk.

Before the club (and the Cult) went on hiatus, Zabriskie played alongside guests like JD Twitch (of Optimo) and Prins Thomas. Equally at home with the acid-dipped cosmic disco, contemporary house, and transcendent psych, prog and disco records of yesteryear, A.Zabriskie is now in the studio cooking up a batch of bent edits and strange sounds. Zabriskie is also an occasional contributor to Monorailpdx.com, a musicblog. Expect more mixes, production work, and continued contributions to Monorailpdx.com’s blog from A.Z in 2010, as well as a return of the Cult of the Midnight Sun.

As you already know, Beats in Spaces’ Mr. Sweeney has disembarked on his BIS Aussie tour:

So Melbourne kids:
You will be catching him either at Stereosonic (which is tommorow), at Meredith… or if you are like me, at a nice intimate setting here:-

A decade is a long time in dance music and aside from hosting his radio show, Tim has also completed various productions with a plethora of the most important NY peeps, toured the world as a DJ he even sold out the toff last time he played at THDF! so come down and help Tim celebrate one hell of an achievement, at one of the best nightspots melbourne has to offer. Tim will be playing for no less than 4 hours on the night, and yes we will be using the Bozak for that authentic NY loft party vibe & sound! support on the night from Melbournes fastest rising Dj duo Otologic & Andee Frost.

Whoah, talk about a break from blogging… Apologies my dearest readers for putting the smoke machine on low but now things are about to get heavy. JD is overseas (I think..?) for a tiny bit so I better put this party into full gear. Let’s cut to the chase:

Bang Gang’s and ex-Riot in Belgium big boy Beni released his killer track “Maximus” a while back on Kitsune, featuring Sam Sparro on the vox. A remixes EP also followed dropping late last month but the mix you are about to grab hasn’t been put out there in the interwebs so consider this an xxxclussiveee.

My homeboys Andee and Ooh Ee have been conjuring up storms left, right and center, producing two mixes for “Maximus” known as the Blue and Pink versions. You can pick up the RMX’s EP right now on Beatport where you can grab the available Pink Version but compared to its sister, the Blue version is more of a chilled house number, which screams sexyness. Oh so sexy.
MP3: Beni - Maximus (Andee & Ooh Ee Blue Version) [EXXXCLUSIVEE]

The two lads also did a mix and dub for the Presets track “Kicking & Screaming” which was out on Modular a while back. Nice acidy, housey techno. Should also note that the dub was on Tim Sweeney’s BIS Radio Show #482.
MP3: The Presets - Kicking & Screaming (Andee & Ooh Ee’s Endor Dub)

I’ve also been informed that Andee & Ooh Ee are indeed working on an EP that will be sometime out in the future. I wanted more info on this but all I got from Andee was “(it will sound like) rohypnohouse with a splash of acid topped off with with a little bit of tranny techno.”
