W.U.T. presents FM Attack, Fresh + Sunny and Elevator Sex

WUT_v2_900web

We. Us. Together is putting on an amazing night of music this coming Friday, May 24th at Central SAPC (1348 14th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404). Featuring some of our favorite musicians including FM Attack, Elevator Sex and our own in house dj’s Fresh + Sunny, tickets are $10 and doors open at 8pm.

We checked in with Shawn from FM Attack and lucky for us, found out he’s working on a new album. Will the sound be similar to his previous releases, what’s his process like this time around, any idea when it would be completed and in our ears?

“I guess this album is an evolution of FM Attack’s sound, still very dreamy and nostalgic but much more vocal, live guitar and more advanced arrangements and less DJ style tracks. It’s definately leaning more towards a New Wave feel. I also have been mixing it on a new mixing console that really gives it a warm vintage sound. Hope to have it wrapped up by July for an August release. There will be a promo video teaser for it within a few more week. I’m lucky to have super talented video fx designer/director Michael Tavarez working on it.”

We’re excited, not only for the new record but for the chance to hear him spin on Friday at Central alongside our favorite local djs. Get tickets here!

See you on the dance floor.

Beacon

beacon_witness_this

Beacon is from Brooklyn, New York and consists of Thomas Mullarney and Jacob Gossett – who met at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, where they both were studying art. I came across the track Bring You Back a while back and can’t get it out of my mind. Their sound is a mix of R&B, ambient pop, and eerie country that goes beyond any restrictive genre pigeon holing. Do yourself a favor this Monday and stream their debut album The Ways We Separate below and then pick up their album here.

SEX+DESIGN MAGAZINE RELEASES 4th PRINT EDITION, “BRAVE NEW WORLD” at STANDARD HOTEL in LA. SUNDAY, MAY 19th with PSYCHEMAGIK!

LOS ANGELES – Well, we all survived the apocalypse! Time for the next shift. And what a better way to celebrate than at a modernized Gatsby-esque rooftop bash? Sex+Design Magazine is taking charge and celebrating the publication of their 4th issue, suitably titled “BRAVE NEW WORLD,” at none other than the dreamy rooftop of the Standard Hotel.

On Sunday May 19th at 9pm, guests will begin to arrive at the luxurious hotel. Alongside the Sex+Design team, some featured artists from BRAVE NEW WORLD who may be in attendance: Polish-born crochet master street artist Olek, Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls, internationally accredited street artist RETNA, Detroit-native/Berlin-based house producer and DJ Seth Troxler, frontman from the Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan, and many more.

Plans for such music acts include opener and Sex+Design’s resident music director, Cole, and infamous San Francisco favorite, Jeniluv (of the amazing Making Shapes parties in LA), who will prepare guests for the ultimate headliner—internationally renowned PSYCHEMAGIC from the UK, known for their sexy, psychedelic disco-house music. Party-goers are sure to be lured into another world, whether enjoying themselves on the dancefloor or lounging on the poolside waterbed pods with a cocktail and a friend, gazing out at the stunning panoramic views of the city that surrounds!

The BRAVE NEW WORLD launch party is an experience not to be missed! So come dance the night away and celebrate this new era on Sunday, May 19th, at the Standard Hotel, located on 550 South Flower at Sixth Street in Downtown Los Angeles from 9pm-2am.
