  1. Hi all.

    I am a NYC based electronic producer, Eric Shans and have just released my 2nd album. It's a mixture of house, new wave, ambient, and electro with male and female vocals. Hope you enjoy...

    www.cdbaby.com/cd/phenotract2

    www.myspace.com/phenotract

    Mp3 price $ 7.97

    CD price $ 9.97

    It's available on Itunes as well

    Press release

    Beautifully melodic electronic pop with both male and female vocals. Atmospheric, ethereal, and cinematic.tracks

    "Transient Messages" is the second official full length album from the New York City based electronic act Phenotract. Expanding on the groundwork of the previous album, "Within A Second", the harder tech sound that dominated that album is taken in a different direction. Still atmospheric and driving, and at the same time pensive and introspective, "Transient Messages" cascades and swirls with soundtrack- type melodies, groove- laden basslines, and both male and female vocals; all of which give the music a comtemporary electronica "neo- pop" sound. With the addition of a female vocalist, Niabi Caldwell, (who sings on about half of the songs with Eric Shans) Phenotract has now fully illuminated the musical path that was only hinted at before. Running across the contrasts of lights and darks, tracks such as "A Million Colors" and "Dissolved In Tides" launch themselves into the heavens, whereas songs like "Heightened" and "In Another Life" take things more into the subterranean world that has historically characterized Phenotract's sound. Thematically, a lot of the album deals with communication and how often we find a common thread that exists in the world amongst us : that it lacks within ourselves and towards each other. Danceable, energetic music with lots of atmosphere and mood. On Souvenir Records.

  2. also, i remember being in europe a couple of years ago.. (3-4?) and i saw the video if ROGER S. "another chance". I shit my pants when i saw the club that they filmed in the video was CF.

    good lord, you people have no idea how much this sucks the more I think about it.

    The only place worth going to..

    The only place ALWAYS gauranteed to have th best crowd,music,etc

    makes me wonder..

    whose fucking idea was it to close that place?

    whose fucking idea was it to make it an afterhours crack fest with draper and boris?....those people should be shot in the knee caps.

    I could not agree more. you have said it all...my friend and I were just talking about this other day and saying since that place has closed, there's been no place that has matched to it. it was a great great time for us everytime we went there..it was classy without being too chi chi, overall good vibe and crowd, always top shelf music and a great staff. I remember getting the mailers every week at work and printing them out and just getting excited because i knew I'd have a great weekend..fuck i miss that place.... :mad::(

  3. What a night of incredible music - the opener Powerstar IM was playing some really great tech house and trancy breaks. Acosta really did an awesome job too...I wanted to stay for Dinaire but my legs were about to fall off...

    Perfect amount of people too, not packed at all, but not empty.

    Fantastic night.

  4. >>>>I cant stand it...NY should be the leading city when it comes to TRUE nightlife..BUT NOOOO..we haev shit..centro was the one place i was truley in love with...the people..the music..EVERYTIHNG..now its gone. i mean..wtf.ahhhh..i will truly miss that place. the most annoying part was when they tried to m ake it an exit type palce..with dj boris and all that shit...all the SF peopel went there..it was horrible...centro fl was true nightlife...good booze..good people..good music..and a mature crowd..i used to love it when i woul dbe there and i would hear all these stupid immature clubgoers talk about how wakk the palce is..i would think to myself(yes..and please leave)..everytime i would see some people be like..wtf..play someting hard..i wanan rave..i would wanan b like..hahah YES>>HATE THIS PLACE AND NEVER COME BACK!..hehe..centro fly was pretty much the closest thing to the clubing experiences i had in paris and greece..NY NEEDS this type of scene..PROMOTERS..DJS..PLEASE DONT STOP THE MUSIC!..the record isnt over yet. dont let ny be consumed by all the trash juice monkey and hookers that it has the past couple years!..and as for the clubgoers...dont jsut go to a place cause of a big dj..im sure NY has hundreds of great..funk non commercial house djs. who knows..the small party that is at a local bar might have the best music. and if people start to support the dj and his music..NY can one day have another centr-fly with a wonderful resident. Im so tempted to bust my ass to try to throw a weekly event for true nightlife..but the truth is...NY already has its parties..its up for the peopel to unite...and make any spot their own. eventually the venues will adapt. ahh im at work right now venting and maybe i dont make sense..maybe i make perfect sesne..i dont even know..but all i do know is that i barely go out anymore..i jsut sit around with my gf..or work on ym car..or sleep...WHY..because nightlife now isnt what it used to be..and id much rather sit back and remembe the good times..then go out and realzie how much to shit its gone to. so let us all unite and bring back the cultured educated nightlife!...much to all the music lovers. for music is an art/passion we all can relate and connect to.

    I could not have said it any better, you listed every reason why i loved that place. please NY bring something like that club back...for the most part -it was a mature, music appreciative, and down to earth crowd that regulary attended those parties..damn i'll say it again - i will very much miss that place and am just thankful that I had the many fantastic times I had there.

  5. I agree 1000 percent. The energy, the vibe, the crazy beats and random songs that were dropped ...it was just something else and I am so happy I was there for it. The crowd was just awesome and everyone was loving it.

    That night made it even harder to come to terms with that place closing - I've had SO many good times there.

    Did you hear him play "My Way" by Frank?... that was something else...

    Just a f-in fantastic party.

    RIP Centro - you went out with a real bang.

  6. Ok,

    There's a track I've heard numerous times out.....it must be fairly popular in the funky house genre..it came out sometime in 2003 ( i think)

    it has a main vocal line that repeats througout..(male) that goes something like this..( forgive me..this is a bit tough to type out)

    "ah e da daa daa da daaaah" ..." daa da daaaah"

    it almost sounds like he's chanting it..but I believe that is all the 'lyrics' in the song.

    followed by a funky bassline..it's killer

    thanks a lot....

  7. Pyramid still has stopped their fri night thing but thursdays are not happening there anymore.....I actually went to Bar 169 on Friday for this thing called "One World One Sky" really good. a mix of new wave, electro, and indie/britpop. I think they only have it once a month but it's well worth checking out.

    I think Flamingo East (14th st) also has one still on friday it was mix of ebm, synthpop, & new wave..hope that helps..

  8. I am also waiting for the place to get back in line...it is also my favorite place - music,crowdwise..everything agreed...

    I stopped by New Years Eve about 2am and it was really good actually..decent size crowd but not overpacked and awesome music..(John Creamer was spinning most of the time i was there)
