electro!


It's been a budding genre this summer, with discs from Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Digitalism, and more as electro-house, or electro, has been the term to describe this music that's not quite house, not techno, but will definitely get you on the dance floor. Rochester gets its first taste of it this Saturday, as LA's remix duo/Kitsune recording artist Guns'n'Bombs (pic left) aim to bring down the house over at Pearl at 349 East Ave. The dudes have already created some nasty remixes of Chromeo's "Fancy Footwork" and Klaxons' "Gravity's Rainbow." They also have a few club bangers of their own, which you can check out on their myspace at the link above.

It doesn't stop there for Pearl, as a week later will be "Thrash Thursday" on September 20th. Featuring Rochester's own DJ Annalyze and DJ Ewun who will be spinning electro, retro, hip-hop, and of course, thrash-up. This seems like this may be a weekly or monthly thing, but I can't say for sure, all I know is it's time to dance!
