So last night...

Wow. So it all starts with the yellow "MTV Spain" book that was in my room when I got here, maybe some hip SMU student left it for anyone else to stumble upon. So naturally I look up "Clubbing" in the Madrid section. The book recommends "Nature (Mid-Day)" by saying, "Nature is absolutely worth a visit, especially on Thursdays...The metallic decor and low, red lighting make it seem like Han Solo might show up later on. Little TV's show Japanese anime." This description is perfect. PERFECT.
If you ever come to madrid, on a thursday, come here.

We showed up it was 1230-1ish. The place was empty but the music, oh my the music. Soo bomb, this DJ was playin nothing but the best electro you've never heard, ON VINYL. HIS WHOLE SET.

So later, people showed up and the place was packed, by then this DJ:

starts his set with the banger of the moment, that you, dear reader, heard about here on El Eskeleto, "Kids" MGMT (Soulwax remix). Just obliterated the place. The house was about to burn down. He goes on to play Daft Punk Digitalism Justice Crookers Michael Jackson it was like he was playing off my computer, but my favorite song was the DJ SkeetSkeet remix of "Want you Back"-Jackson 5, that just killed the place. What are the chances of hearing a song from a LA DJ remixing a 30year old song, at a club in Madrid played by a random/bossa German DJ? Slim. To none.

oh, I should give a shout out to Skeetskeet, and his bossa blog: www.eatskeet.com
I'll take the cam. next thursday so you can see Nature in all its glory.

Lucky You, Es Domingo.

Sooooo it's finally here...the Soulwax remix of Kids-MGMT. This sounds like it still needs a bit of work, but its still fire. This is not an official release, but you get a good idea of what's in store.

Also!! New Kanye track?!! Sounds nothing like he's ever done, and also sounds unfinished. Interesting new direction for Mr. West, I'm not sure i buy it yet. Check it for yourself:

And a little update of my life: Last night was Noche en Blanco here in Madrid, which means they close off the streets and people just walk around, go see art exhibits/installations. There was going to be a guy who was going to walk on a tightrope from building to building, and we waited for 40 mins and it ended up getting cancelled because there was too much wind... Bummer.
Then we just roamed Gran Via and taught Spaniards the high five variations.
