hibernia saturdays with residents tym ryan and john davis
this weeks guest DJ needs no introduction, but you know i'm going to
give one anyway. dale lee has amassed quite the cult following around
these parts, and you may be asking why. is it his tantalizing
programming? is it his flawless mixing? is it REALLY a secret military
hypnosis experiment gone horribly awry? jeez, i hope it's not that
last one, but it WOULD explain all those black helicopters following me
around. help ease my paranoia by joining me at the bar.

last weeks mardi gras version of full tilt friday was, in a word, insane.
thanks to all who came out to help us -literally- tear the place apart.
this week promises even more insanity with special guest opener dale
lee; said to have one of the most active charts in boston, dale is
relentless in finding the latest and greatest underground progressive
music for your listening and dancing pleasure. he'll be warming up
the crowd for the one and only tym ryan, so support the locals --
show up early!

what's full tilt fridays like?
"Shhh.... can you hear that??!! Yeah that's right.. it's the beat
of a different drum.. Feel the movement take over your body..
Experience the music lift you and make you TILT your head. Motion
yourself onto the dancefloor, make yourself feel the floor, TILT
your way towards the music." -- rascal_girl@hotmail.com (copyright,
all rights and wrongs reserved, or something like that, yeah sure,
that works. yep. thats the ticket.)
this friday the one and only dave skye (redlight, the phoenix landing)
warms up the tilt room for tym with what is sure to be a memorable
and diverse set.
how 'bout some variety? graze freely from room to room until you find
your thang -- the underground room has static (the rinse, 4front)
busting out the breakbeats, the hip hop room has dj chaos and the
80s/pop room has some guy i don't know yet, but thats okay, he still
spins killer funkadelics!

tym ryan celebrates his new residancy at full tilt fridays grand
opening, friday janurary 25th
lacking in the info department? here it is : the longtime boston
favorite returns to the decks showcasing international guests
monthly, and local guests weekly. this week tym opens for our
monthly guest ashley casselle (gatecrasher, bedrock, ashtrax, uk.)
ashley is touring the US in support of his recent masterfull mix,
response (automatic, uk) and there will be copies on hand to
distribute to you folks. i picked up this double disc set this
weekend -- it's got killer track selection (tracks from the likes
of filter tip, microtek, astral projection, graham camp, and cass
& slide) and the mixing is flawless -- no protools here!
there's going to be a special champagne reception from 10-11 so
get there early!
as for the venue? tilt is sick! amazing sound system, plenty of
dancefloor space, plenty of couches to chill on, cyro in case it
gets too hot, killer lights, and the laser... OMG, it will blow
you away. tilt has a special back entrance so you can avoid the
lines out front and there is some limited free parking -- once that
runs out the parking is a scant 5 dollars. once inside, the other
rooms include a hip hop/rnb room (dj chaos), an 80s/new wave room,
and a breaks/dnb room so there are plenty of areas for you to get
down.

manray on saturday has disco in front and 80s pop in back. thursdays (thier gay night) has hardhouse in front and 80s pop in back.
i used to go religiously on wednesdays (endziet in the front room spun some great stuff) but i'm not a big fan of the current dj in front -- mostly trance and ebm. never liked the back room much. fridays are much of the same *shrug* other than that, i went on saturdays once, i wasnt very impressed, but it's not really my scene so i guess i cant say. *shrugs again*
if you're going to be around dec 28th, theres tym ryan at the roxy. thats gunna be a fun time.
if you're ever looking for a rock type thing to do, you might wanna check out Rocks! at the paradise on saturdays. heres the info for that :
its time to be rocked like a hurricane one last time before 2002.
no need to bust out those tight jeans and that BIG HAIR, just come
down to rocks! dont like 80s hair bands and their fansluts?
WELL SHAME ON YOU! but thats ok, 'cause we've got more than that.
we've got the rock spanning all decades from the who to ac/dc to
the pixies to nin to nirvana to manson to green day to blink 182
to system of a down. yep, david james and mike gioscia have got
it all. soooo, watchoo waitin for willis?
rocks, saturdays at the paradise. 21 plus. only 5 smackeroos.
email the supahstah DJs themselves at rocksdice@yahoo.com for more
info, questions, answers, career development and placement services,
new years diet tips, and they just might be able to help you with
that funky rash too.
hehe, uhh, anyhow, wherever you end up, have fun.

this week is spin cycle's annual BurnOffAllThatDamnTurkeyAnd
StuffingAndPumpkinPie-A-Thon. initiating the
festivities -- with thier usual tribal-progressive
madness -- will be boston's most promising young duo :
elder brothers? hailing from lakeville, ct and hingham, ma,
our two heroes first collaborated four years ago in the
boston area under their individual dj aliases, phat beetz and
herbal pudding. currently, the EB's are almost at the halfway
point of their four year sabbatical in the faraway land of
ohio, where they are rapidly converting hippies and
indie-rockers into househeads and beatfreaks.
back room aural calisthenics provided by dj eight spinning
old school hip hop 'till 11:30, and then david "king of all
turkeys" james.

hey, thanks for the birthday wishes, guys
and happy b-day to you too, nyis4meatheads. heh.as for submitting demos, have your friend make a tape or CD and send it to the address i posted, or you could drop it off at karma on some friday night, if that is any easier. i'm there every week and i'm not too hard to find -- just look for the big fat guy with the mohawk.
np : axiom ambient - lost in the translation
-
yo, 'no ufos' isnt all that hard to find, if you're just looking for the original track to spin out. it was rereleased on the waxtrax mixmaster series (jaun atikins, of course! hehe), but only the UK version, not the domestic. it is oop, but still quite easily had. i found my copy at newbury comics, of all places. (i've found more gold in newb's reduced vinyl section than i have anywhere else, belive it or not)
if you're looking for collectors purposes only, good luck

this week at spin cycle i'm celebrating my 24th birthday (yeesh,
i'm getting OLD!), so be sure to buy me a drink... oh yeah,
there are other things going on there, like the recordheadz crew
spinning in the back room till 11:30, and local dj russell lewis
opening in the front with some kicking techno and some big
electronic sounds, but more importantly : its the perfect occasion
to buy me a drink.
there will be 80s and alternative and funkyassnatch hiphop in the
back room after 11:30 -- even better is the strategically placed
bar where you could buy me a drink. the front room? yeah, there
are three bars which means you could buy me three times as many
drinks, right? oh you mean the tunes? yeah, spin cycle's trusty
resident dj tym ryan will be blasting out the tracks on blake's
insane sound system and all over new england on the fnx radio
network.

cycle friday. i cant exactly tell ya all the details, cuz,
uhhh... well, if i did, i'd get impaled on a rusty flagpole,
but just take my word for it : its going to be groovalicious..
i heard something about this up and coming recordheadz dj,
catatonic, and his far out tech house and progressive tracks.
and theres this other guy, tym ryan? anyone heard of him?
yeah, apparantly he spins some of the most funkadelic choons
to be cut on those flattened lil pucks. i also heard his
sets have been broadcast live on fnx every friday for years.
pretty crazy, eh?
there are also rumours about some finalists from the klub
beats dj mix off in the back room till 11:30. apparantly
tek will be matching his skills up against fyfe. i also
heard through the proverbial grapevine that the local legend
david james will come through with some of that crazy
80salternafunkdahop which is all the rage with the kiddies
nowadays.
oooooh yeah! i also overheard a conversation about a bunch
of crazy clubkids in haloween costumes and something about
a real-life game of clue? tym ryan on the stage with a
technics 1200 to the back of the head??? naaaw, maybe that
rumour is just TOO far fetched to be true...

first off, we'd like to thank tim collins for his service
in the back room over the past couple months. this past
friday was his last week at spin cycle, and he spun a
great set to leave us all jonesing for more. unfortunately
for us, he has moved to LA to pursue his dreams of
conquering the world. we wish him the best of luck in
this endevor. but fret not, my fellow spin cyclists, this
week THE BACK ROOM WILL BE OPEN. we've got a big surprise
for the mambo lounge which is sure to get your ass grooving.
we've got lots of new and interesting things happening at
spin cycle. among them is our open call to djs everywhere
to open up for tym. if you're an aspiring dj (or know
someone who is) be sure to get us a mix tape! you can
either hand one to me, to tym, or mail it to the address
listed below. so if you can spin funky and/or progressive
styles of house and techno, we want to hear from you!
this week we've got local favorite (and diehard SC regular),
dale lee to open for tym. dale found his unique progressive
style when he moved to colorado and went to clubs 6 nights a
week! while stationed in korea he perfected his dj skills
and while stationed in guam he held two weekly residancies.
his sound is best described as 'uk progressive with a dash
of tribal' and he always brings brand spankin new tracks
(just take a look at his chart --
http://www.djrhythms.com/cht/lee.htm) he has moved back to
the boston area and has started to build a name for himself
here in his home town. expect to hear a mad set with lots
of new stuff! following him will, of course, be everyone's
favorite spin cycle resident, tym ryan.
as if that isnt enough for one night, we're also having a
jiveelectro record release party. free schtuff by the likes
of groove armada, detroit grand pubahs, kimball collins and
the new deal.
=============================================================
upcoming events :
OCT 12 -- we will be having a NEW ORDER listening party from
10-11 in the Mambo Lounge. this will be sponsored by RED
BULL. all kinds of goodies to be handed out. opening up
in the front room for tym, from bedford NH, is dj noel with
his progressive techy sound.

so i'm going to be in nyc this weekend and i'm looking for suggestions...
i'm looking for anything from progressive house (no cheeze, please! preferably something on the darker side, like lee burridge's style, or techy stuff like rockcliffe or even some techtrance like steve porter) to dnb to deep house to techno to psytrance to electro (the electro portion of the sinfest rawked last week at 113, btw!)
i figure i'll go see danny spin at some point (fridays at vinyl, right? or is it saturdays???), but other than that i'm not sure what to do now that twilo is no more! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
anywhere we go would have to be dress code free (or at least allow for sneeks and black pants. i need my sneeks to dance my ass off!) good music and a good vibe are a must!
also, if there are any promotors out there that could send me a couple comps, or hell even reduced, i'd be sure to return the favor if you are ever in boston.
also a quick plug : my friend's 'band' is playing downtime on sunday (which is why i'll be in the city for the weekend).. their name is GASR, and they'll be doing a live PA... they're like a cross between ebm/industrial stuff (like front242) and the distintive sound (hybrid, WOW, etc)... so they're kinda like agressive trancy stuff (half thier tracks are breakbeat, the other half are 4 on the floor) with vocals.... good stuff!

**The Players**
Tym Ryan ----- lanky irishman who takes care of the aural assault in the front room. progressive dance at its finest.
Tim Collins -- rumoured to be named after the liquor drink, he spins disco, to 80s to the hippity to the hop in the mambo lounge.
**The What**
Tym Ryan, Tim Collins, Jack, and Coke serves to fuel the madness
at spin cycle. Good music, good dance, good drink, and good people come together to satisfy all your hedonistic desires.
Only 8 clams for 21+ers, 10 for 19-20. better yet, plan ahead and pay nothing at the door by emailing phatmike@isomorphic.net for guestlist!

the rumour on the street is that they are no longer doing club nights. they're bringing it back to its roots -- a rock club.
imo, its far better as a rock club anyway... *shrug*
