GREAT NEWS. Popshop 2.0 is only three sleeps away, as we get ready to do it bigger than ever before with Classixx this Thursday at Santos Party House. The not so great news - we've lost another amazing act to the pitfalls of homeland security, as Morning Parade's visas were delayed until later in the month, meaning they won't be able to join us for this round of Popshop. Worry not though, they'll be back with us in March for a special pre-SXSW edition of our semiannual NEW SHAPES party as part of one of the biggest lineups we've ever brought to NYC (stay tuned).
Back to the matter at hand though. We've dug deep to find a stellar replacement for the Parade, and we're thrilled to announce that NYC's greatest rock 'n roll band Workout will be joining us on the Popshop stage, getting things popping early before French Horn Rebellion and Classixx tear it down in the headline slots. Workout are pretty much our new favorite live band in New York and it's a show that needs to be seen to be believed, so do yourself a favor and come down early - it'll be the best decision you make all month, guaranteed. It's all going down Thursday at Santos, you can cop cheap $10 adv tickets HERE before they're either sold out or $15 on the door, you're call.
Check this video that Jerome LOL Boys and Johnny Woods made for a tune off Classixx‘s long anticipated full length (due sometime in 2012). “A Fax From The Beach” seems to be an all around good look.
Our first Popshop of the new year will be a change of pace and change of scenery, kickstarting a brand new year of incredible live music with the same contagious pop atmosphere we established in 2011. Getting things started on the first Popshop of 2012 are London's next huge things Morning Parade making their US live debut, before our beloved Popshop alumni French Horn Rebellion take things over in the live headline slot. Then it's time for our main event, as LA's nu disco heroes Classixx take over with a headline DJ set that'll burn the midnight oil and then the entire house down.
Despite what's perhaps our biggest lineup ever, the biggest news of the night has to be our brand new home, as we move Popshop from Tammany Hall to the wide open spaces of Santos Party House. It's a new year and a new look, as we take over the main room of Santos Party House and the city's best sound system to elevate Popshop to new levels of glory. And with our advance ticket price still locked in at $10 (or $15 day of show) and free drink specials in the works, it's just about the cheapest way to live the dream in the whole damn city. It's all going down Thursday, February 2nd at Santos Party House (96 Lafayette Street), with advance tickets available HERE now. Don't miss out friends, we're about to take it to another level.

Copyright brings new life to a track that was originally released in 2001. Take an imaginary trip to the island of Ibiza and let these tropical, percussive grooves heat up your night.
SuperVision is the latest addition to the Pretty Lights music crew. His first effort has the standard Colorado mid-tempo vibes with a great balance of glitch and melodic guitar sounds. Seems like he will be a very promising producer in the near future.
Jantsen uses a formula that is similar to the old Rusko sound and he uses it well with a catchy hook and quality production. This one is for the low end lovers.
You’ll recall It Gets You Off’s Broken Circuits from a few of my lasts posts, these guys had our room at Avalon PUMPING a few weeks ago with their live set. Crunchy electro tech to keep your ears on in months to come.
This remix made its way back into my constant rotation recently and my life is better because of it. Classixx never cease to amaze me with their elegant refinement of tone. Pure, unadulterated luxury.

Ah, summer. It’s warmth. It’s love from the sun. Some might not really understand what I mean by that because they don’t get to experience the massive fluctuations between seasons. In Winnipeg (and Canada in general) there’s a 70° range in temperature. In the winter the sun shines but it’s warmth never arrives, which makes the summer heat all that much more precious.
