Mister Saturday Night With Floating Points – TONIGHT In Brooklyn (Video)

We’re more than thrilled that the combination of the Mister Saturday Night crew and Floating Points are reuniting for a special occasion tonight at House of Yes. Floating Points came here in 2010 and smashed us to bits at Brooklyn Fireproof (at the famed sister party Mister Sunday) with his inventive and sleek set of tunes ranging from soul, house, techno and jazz-inspired lushness. Here at URB, we’ve waited on bated breath for him to return to New York and take us on a trip to the dance once again. We urge you to do the same, as someone like Floating Points is truly a one-in-a-million sort of artist. Check out the flier for Mister Saturday Night with Floating Points and links for ticket sales after the jump.

LISTEN To Daedelus Live On KCRW (MP3)

Fabulously foppish beatsmith Daedelus has been an LA treasure for years. But the producer also known as Alfred Darlington has been experiencing a heightened profile lately, sure to be raised even higher with this 30-minute mix he did for SoCal public radio powerhouse KCRW. Says the man himself:

An almost 30 minute mix of a morning live set, really pretty mellow throughout and still a snap shot for me of what I was feeling in 2010. I hope it has weight going into 2012. You’ll notice sounds from Lorn, Floating Points, Tokimonsta, Flying Lotus, and all sorts of non-electronics like Sonic Youth and Beirut, among many many other odds and ends.

Returning to the roots that shaped him, Drums Of Death is keen on bringing the focus back to house and techno-minded rhythms, as evident by the exclusive track URB premiered a while back. He continues to do so by giving us this week’s URB podcast, which includes current and classic.
