Nublu: Brooklyn
Sunday, September 3rd on the Gowanus Canal
with
Kudu, Love Trio, Forro in the Dark, I Led 3 Lives, Karina, and the
Nublu Orchestra conducted by Butch Morrisand DJs Probus, Justin Carter, Hardedge and In Flagranti
Nublu transports the larger part of its Avenue C family to Brooklyn for an outdoor Labor Day party right on the Gowanus Canal. Kudu blows up the stage with their big bass. Love Trio – featuring Jesse Murphy from Brazilian Girls, Ilhan Ersahin from Wax Poetic and Kenny Wollesen – powers through driving dance-jazz. Forro in the Dark, whose November album will feature David Byrne, Bebel Gilberto, and Miho Hatori, bounces everyone into the water with their modern Brazilian dance music. I Led 3 Lives, featuring legendary bass player Juini Booth, obscures everyone with mysterious meanderings; Karina, vocalist for Thievery Corporation, turns the whole thing into a Brazilian playground; and Butch Morris leads the Nublu Orchestra in a jaw-dropping session of conducted experimentation. DJs Probus, Justin Carter, Hardedge, and In Flagranti drop sounds both hard and soft before after and in between bands.
It’s going to be a very nice day.

From the Brooklyn Battery (toll) Tunnel, use a right-hand toll lane and take the next to the right lane after the tolls and take the "Exit Only" lane for Exit 26, Hamilton Avenue. Stay/bear left down the exit ramp and go left under the highway (Stay to the right of the suppers that divide the road!) where you will be facing/about to cross Hamilton Avenue. Clinton Street is diagonally to your left, between Hamilton on the hard left and Huntington to the right. Go into Clinton street and continue on Clinton through 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st Places to Carroll Street. Parking is not a problem.
From the Brooklyn, Williamsburg or Manhattan Bridges, Queens, or Long Island, head S/W on the Brooklyn/Queens Expressway (BQE/278), towards the Verrazano Bridge. Stay in the center lane until Exit 26 to avoid getting caught up in the left and right exits-only. It is then the
exact same exit and procedure as above because the BQE merges with the tunnel exit and the Gowanus Expressway just before that point.
I've been away from my friends, my blog, and myspace...but for a good reason. I got a new job!! Coordinating events for a pretty cool publishing company, powerHouse Books. I miss my friends at Cornerstone and I miss having a laptop to dj with, haha. Ultimately, when I get myself situated at the new job I won't be staying at work til 10pm every night:/ Ya, I've been going into work at 9:30am and getting home around 10:25pm...
Mexican dancehall all-stars, Kinky are returning this fall with their third studio album, Reina, to be released September 5 on Nettwerk Records. Reina ("Queen") was recorded in Southern California where the band expected relaxation and sunshine but instead got floods and mudslides invading their studio. Ever the thrifty ones, the band fixed up their debris-laden instruments using duct tape, scraps of metal and even tree branches. The resulting album is an understandably eclectic bunch of tracks mixing rock, electronica, hip-hop, Latin rhythm and even the sounds of pots and pans.
