Is Boston popping off lately?

I am not sure if its something in the air, but there seems to be some great stuff that is happening in Boston as of late. Gone are the days of the megaclubs in Boston running nightlife and forcing garbage DJ's and even worse music down our throats.

Now there is a plethora of places to choose from more intimate venues to large 400+ rooms. This weekend alone we saw 2 great DJ's playing on a Sunday down the street from each other. It was great to see so many people out to support.

Kevin Saunderson @ the Middlesex

12" of Pleasure crew brought the one and only Kevin Saunderson to Middlesex for a night of good old fashion Detroit Techno and down the street at The Phoenix Landing, the Marz Entertainment crew brought in the always funky house queen from Chicago DJ Heather.

DJ Headther @ The Phoenix Landing

The acts seem to keep on coming. This weekend we see DJ Dan at Rise Nightclub (Boston's only after-hours club). If you have not seen the RA article on Boston yet, I would check it out. Great information on a scene that is often over looked.

Next weekend, Marz Entertainment is back at it with Headtunes to bring the inventor of the edit, Mr. Greg Wilson himself, with an opening set by Boston's own nu-disco don Brenden Wesley and the one and only Alex from Queens.


This will be Greg Wilson's debut to Boston.

For those that don't know much about Greg Wilson. He started his DJ career at the tender age of 15 and was an integral part of the 80's electro/disco scene in Manchester. He went on to release some of the first ever Re-edits, which were hand-crafted tape edits using reel to reel tapes and a razor. He has hundreds of these edits to his credit. He taught Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim) how to DJ and had a residence at the legendary Hacienda Nightclub in Manchester.

This is a true legend and pioneer in the world of dance music. So much can be said about the man. If you have never seen him live you are in for a real treat. He will have his famous reel-to-reel by his side.

Check out the links below for more info on him.

Early Doors at 9pm. Greg will be going on at 1030pm.

Online Reviews

Deep South Audio: Listeners of the show are sure to recognise these smooth beats from the Brighton based Rob Clarke. Rob has a wickedly tight outlook on house, grabbing bass lines and rhythm patterns that wind in and out of garage fashions and funky house, refreshingly slick. Expect to see Rob pop up on a many label in the world of House. Headtunes gets to set Rob on his way in fine fashion.. warm Jazzy beats infectiously woven. Read Full Review
