Guest DJ: Stretch Armstrong (Plant Music, NYC)
Internationally renowned deejay/producer/overall music impresario Stretch Armstrong has enjoyed a nearly two-decade career that has remained as diverse, eclectic and inspired as his home city New York. As a native New Yorker who grew up on the edge of Spanish Harlem, he began absorbing all of the underground sounds of the city – from early hip-hop to freestyle, disco, reggae and everything else – straight from his home streets at a very early age.
While already an established figure in the New York City underground dance circuit, Stretch’s true bridge to international notoriety came in 1990 via a humble college radio show that he began on WKCR 89.1 FM when the stale state of hip-hop radio led him to develop his own twist on the mix shows he was weaned on. Anchored by the voice and humor of friend Bobbito Garcia, THE STRETCH ARMSTRONG SHOW W/ BOBBITO THE BARBER quickly became the cornerstone for the burgeoning world of hip-hop, and was named the “Best Hip-Hop Show of All Time” by The Source magazine.
While much has changed since his early days, Stretch listens, works and loves with the same ears that drew him to hip-hop in the eighties, and remains focused on evoking passionate responses from live audiences. He plays a continually evolving, eclectic mix of club music, favoring the sounds that are most whimsical and violating of traditional genre boundaries to club goers both here and abroad.
Stretch is the co-owner of New York-based Plant Music, which is home to such talents as Clubfeet, Tittsworth, Eli Escobar, Will Eastman, The Glass, Dillon Francis, Kap10 Kurt, NROTB, Loose Shus, Smalltown Romeo and others. Catch him every Monday night on East Village Radio along with Eli Escobar for The Delancey Music Service.
Guest DJ: Fabiana (Garutachi, DC)
DJ Fabiana is a DC native who stepped onto the club circuit in 2009. Her sets reflect her eclectic taste ranging from electro, disco, house, & hip hop. She currently holds a monthly residency at the Garutachi party at Rock and Roll Hotel, and has performed alongside major acts at the 2009 and 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami.
The Radio Dept. are back! I’ve been a fan of these guys since their 2002 Labrador records ep Where Damage Isn’t Already Done and was pleased when they subsequently released records with label-of-many-many-fantastic-and-big-artists, XL. They kinda went radio silent after that, at least for me, but it’s a treat to have them back and this song is a perfect soundtrack to a roof top party or night cap, just in time for summer.
Amazing new big room burner from Play Paul of legendary French House duo Buffalo Bunch.
