FLYERS
WAR OF THE ROSES / FUNKY TEKNOTRIBE REUNION
Saturday, April 10th. Los Angeles. We reunite the Funky TeknoTribe.
THE RETURN OF VICE/VERSA
Below are some classic VICE/VERSA flyers. VICE/VERSA came hot on the heels of Electroluxe,
a club night I created with then-partner Lester Dizon. Electroluxe brought the world of
Electro(clash) – and Tiga, Princess Superstar, Tommie Sunshine, Larry Tee, Avenue D (and many other
live performances and dj sets) – to San Diego – and Rich’s – back in, what, 2001? 2002?
When we put Electroluxe to rest, I started up VICE/VERSA with Lee Reynolds aka
Dr. Indulgent. VICE/VERSA was held at the venue now known as San Diego’s Beauty Bar. All of the
flyers were created by Lee and myself. We also DJed the VICE/VERSA events together.
We were going for a sort of subversive, surrealist, low-res look with the imagery.
I’ve always been a sucker for a good, cheap black-and-white flyer. I hadn’t seen or thought
about these flyers in a long while, but I think many of them still look great, especially 12-26-03,
11-12-04, and 02-13-04. Obviously Lester Dizon’s amazing Electroluxe flyers had a
lasting effect on me and I think his influence resonates in these images.
It’s hard to believe these events happened so long ago!
DR. FREECLOUD’S 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Wow, has it really been 15 years? I didn’t do much shopping at Dr. Freecloud’s as it’s always been in Orange County; although I liked to hunt for records, that was always a little out of my area. I do remember selling Dr. Freecloud’s several boxes (double copies – I still own most of my original records) of techno, rave and breaks classics, all hand-stamped “PROPERTY BARRY WEAVER” maybe 13 or 14 years ago. I wonder who bought those records…
Sunday, December 13th, I’ll be playing an all-vinyl set for my friends Ron and Helen at the 15th anniversary of their store, Dr. Freecloud’s Record Shoppe. Event info can be found here. I’m DJing from 5:45 to 6:30pm. DJ Dan will be playing 6:30-7:15pm. Ron is closing out the party from 7:15 until 8:00pm. This will be a fun event, and it’s free! I’m not sure what I’ll play, but I’m leaning toward an old school classic/acid house set. Come by, say hello, and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE!
