Rhonda Does SXSW

Famed LA party A Club Called Rhonda just announced it’s taking a trip to Austin for Southby and bringing the likes of DJ Harvey (first TX appearance), the always insane Seth Troxler, Stones Throw honcho Peanut Butter Wolf, Echo Park debaucherist Goddollars, and the ying to GD’s yang Gregory Alexander on the mic. Festival-going DJ fans can mark this as one of the first times SXSW’s been able to pull the type of talent that usually reserves their revelry for WMC.

It’s all going down Friday, March 16th at the newly-opened Beauty Ballroom, the dance club chain’s largest outpost. Entry’s free with an RSVP right here.

DJ Harvey ‘Locussolus’ Interview

The word legend gets tossed around too easily in the world of dance music. But when it comes to DJ Harvey, the term fits.

What’s left is the music, performed by over 70 top-shelf local and international acts.

What’s most impressive is how after 12 years, Movement continues to tap new and creative sounds and talent that fit perfectly within the historic mandate of the city that invented techno. And how the festival has become a showcase for electronic musc talent with an ability to draw crowds far greater than the average underground clubnight America.

DJ Harvey (Locussolus) :: “Little Boots” (An Emperor Machine Special Edit Version) (MP3)

The UK expat, whose been hiding out in LA for a decade or so, is an undisputed master of the rare record—dropping tracks you’d kill fo at his Sarcastic Disco parties. Even though he’s been at it since the ’90s, Harvey’s name is becoming a lot more known in 2011, thanks in part to his new Locussolus project dropping in June. In the meantime, there’s some choice remixes on the way from Andrew Weatherall, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and Soul Clap. Today, we have a nice slow jam edit of “Little Boots” from Emperor Machine.
