Cosmopolitan ****: “…Heading to Ibiza , don’t take off without this, part chill-out, part trance, but all still amazing…”

Star **** (3 Sept 2007): “…sian evans’ voice has never sounded more powerful and versatile … great for pre-club warm-up or post-bash comedown. verdict: kosher…”

M8 – 7/8 (Aug 07): “When you come up with as many perfectly structured beginning-middle-end songs and instantly hooky choruses as these guys not much else matters. Sian Evans’ voice hovers between Joni Mitchell and Annie Lennox … these are timeless genre-defying songs that grab the heart…”

Glamour Magazine (Aug 07): “… a dark, sinister edge … evokes images of deserted beaches at midnight… Try it if you like Massive Attack, Faithless & Tracey Thorn”

DJ Mag. (Aug 07): “Sian Evans’ vocals are as potent as always and Decoder & Substance wrap their song structures around some rolling grooves and slick dance production with conviction … their finest work to date… their many admirers won’t be disappointed.”  Link

11/06/2007 Posted by houselover :: If you want to escape the chaos and monotony of the downtown san jose scene; cruise over to Campbell for tasty cocktails poured by their beautiful bartenders and sit back and enjoy the eye candy. It’s a small intimate venue w/ soulful house rockin’ all nite long. You can either get your grove on shakin’ your bootay near the hanging dj booth or cuddle up w/ your honey and people watch on the chase lounges and velvet booths in the back.

Pros: Great Crowd, Bumping music, Eye Candy :: Cons: Small venue, Gets packed fast

The Cool Kids, Yuksek, Fluo Kids, Brodinski… 33Hz… Bass Ale Open Bar… Free with RSVP
Thursday Sept 13 at Hiro Ballroom

How ridiculously trendy and cutting edge can one night at Hiro Ballroom really be? We don’t know how this happened, but somehow the bookings for this night got a little out of control, and we now find ourselves with a free party featuring:
* a performance from buzzworthy electro-hip-hop crew The Cool Kids (“exciting… feels like the future” – Pitchfork)
* a live set by Yuksek – the excellent new electro act from France (who has been busy remixing the likes of Chromeo, Zombie Nation, Sh*t Disco & Teenage Badgirl, as well as releasing some amazing original stuff on Relish and Rise).
* Fluo Kids (the highly influential French music bloggers) who will be DJing for us
* a DJ set by cool new French electro artist Brodinski.
* and last but not least, we have a live performance by our friends, 33Hz (whose new single featuring Teki & Devin The Dude is just amazing – click here to hear it)…
* Oh… did we mention the Bass Ale Open Bar from 10pm to 11pm (hosted by myopenbar.com)?
