Red Underground Podcast

Red Underground is proud to present: Your Only Friend Recordings Label Party featuring their premier artist,
"The First Lady of Beatdown" - LADY BLACKTRONIKA!!!

Since her first full length album on Your Only Friend, reviewers and DJs have been calling her the next Moodymann or the next Theo Parrish. We disagree. She’s not the next anything… but rather the First Lady of Beatdown.

Lady Blacktronika has been featured various times by Resident Advisor and has been called one of Deep House's most talented newcomers. This statement is no exaggeration and she has been brought over from California to play at some of Europe's best nightclubs including Berlin's Panorama Bar. We were there to check her out and were absolutely blown away with her amazing choice of music, including many of her own unreleased productions. She also is not shy to the microphone. In true old-school Detroit fashion she spontaneously jumps on the mic and belts out the vocals to her tracks as if it were no big deal. Absolutely amazing.

Ok.. I can go on for days, but the best thing to do will be for you to check out this rare opportunity to hear one of House Musics truly great artist perform in an intimate club with a world-class sound system!!

Alright.. Finally.. We're back for a special DJ set I did at Barcelona's newest and best sounding club, The Family.

If you're in Barcelona and have not been to the The Family Music Club yet, then get off your ass and come check it out!!!

The Family Music Club is a brand new spot, right in the heart of Barcelona with a world class sound system!

Anyways... Did this night as a test run, for the upcoming Inauguration of RED UNDERGROUND on the 12th of April 2012!!!!

Enjoy the set people, and sorry for the little hiatus we've been having on new sets. Sets will now be more regular as we record every week at the party.

Mucho love,
Your Only Friend

Alright party peeps.. Finally got my new computer up and running. Everything is installed and the show is back on the road! So here is the newest mix from a party I played at here in Barcelona. I was invited to play by an old old friend, Marc Frigola. He used to help us out promoting parties back in the day when I had a record store here called InDeep. We also did a party together at the Moog in Barcelona about 10 years ago. Haven't heard him play in years, so it was a very pleasant surprise to hear him playing the jams like he was this night. So here is his opening set from that night. Best God Damned Warm up set EVER! Great work Brother Marc!

Alright. So recorder is fixed and we're back on the case.. Here's a little Mix from the last Red Underground Party at Hush Bar in Barcelona. Mixed by yours truly... Tres Manos.
Got some unreleased jams from the upcoming Lady Blacktronika Debut Album: Future Blues Vol.1 on this mix. (That album comes out on June 10th by the way.)

If you're in Barcelona, be sure to come down and say wassup on Friday nights at Hush Bar.
Calle Pescateria 6
Borne, Barcelona.

Yeah... We've finally started Red Underground back up at a new joint in Barcelona. The club is called Lupara and it's located right in the center of the Gothic Quarter of downtown Barcelona.
This week we were honored to have legendary Parisian DJ JEF K at RED UNDERGROUND!!!!

A native of Paris, Jef K started mixing records in 1992 after spending nine months in London. His deep, groovy and sexy house sets made him quickly earn a reputation as one of the fastest rising DJs amongst the French house scene.

Jef has a Saturday residency at the legendary Rex Club since 1998 and is a resident for the “Respect” nights all over the world. He had a monthly residency at Fuse in Brussels for four years and plays regularly at Robert Johnson in Frankfurt.

I personally met Jef over 10 years ago at the Burning Man festival, when he asked me if he could play some records at my camp there... I remember thinking back then thinking that "this guy plays exactly the kind of House that love"! So I was of course excited to have him down to our little spot in Barcelona for this party!

please excuse the distortion... shit happens...

Alright Troops.. I know, I know!!! I totally dropped off the face of the earth for a bit with the mixes. It's been a busy time here at the Your Only Friend Recordings camp and as a result I slacked off on the Red Underground Podcast, Plus my recorder died, so times have been tough on the recording front. Plus.. We've been traveling around alot this summer.. We got to play at the amazing Glastonbury Festival in England, and also got to play this badass little party where this mix comes from with the Lost My Dog boys, the week before we did the party here in Barcelona for Sonar.. so June and July have been pretty insane!!! Anyways.. all in all good things.

So.. here it is, Tres Manos in London.
Enjoy!!

Ok... We're back on-line!!!
We've been having an amazing month down at Your Only Friend. We just got picked up by Word and Sound and will be putting out proper records in the next month! Vinyl baby!! Vinyl so be on the lookout!

For this edition of Red Underground, we've got my kickass label & studio partner Steve Ferrand! Get ready for a lovely journey though some serious deepness!!! Steve is definitely one of my favortie DJs to play with. Proper Deepness through and through. He features a couple of our unreleased jams from Your Only Friend recordings and mixes them in nice and smooth.

Hey Deep House troopers!!!
This week I've got a very special set by DJ/Producer INTERNATIONAL BITCH of Barcelona's Justified Cause Recordings!!!
International Bitch is one of Barcelona's best up and coming DJs & Producers. She started to make her mark on the Barcelona club scene about 5 years ago, playing gigs in almost every venue worth a mention. A passionate, spirited and fun-loving individual, International Bitch when on the decks, concocts a mad blend by experimenting with deep, elegant and feminine beats and venturing beyond those boundaries with an amalgam of body-rocking techno and her very own brand of tech-house hybrid sounds. She has and incredible ear for music and is currently completing her first album for Justified Cause recordings.

Hello Everybody!!! At the request of a couple of troops, I've decided to bring you a special Flashback Edition of RED UNDERGROUND. In the Flashback Editions, I'll be featuring archived sets from some of the Red Underground parties I've done in the past. In this 1st edition, I'm pleased to present you with a magical set done by none other than one of the main troops at Sonar Kolektiv, Dixon!!! This set was recorded live at Nuit Rouge (our Euro-trashed name for Red Underground)in 2003 and was recorded at a bar/club called Dos Trece in Barcelona. It was a small party of about 200 people, so you can imagine how sick the vibe was that night!!! yeah.. Dixon in an intimate setting. Ridiculous!

Ok, enjoy troops!
Hope to see you this Thursday at RED UNDERGROUND @ Le Kasbah!
