• Dancefloor Democracy: Club Sportag Needs Your Help

  In a tireless effort to outdo themselves once and for all, the masterminds behind the sporadic dance party Club Sportag have planned a massive New Year's Eve blowout titled "Return to Whatever." The event promises to be an audio/visual spectacle of epic proportions accompanied by a 30-foot interactive video screen, a 6,000-square-foot dance floor and complimentary valet and coat check to boot. The whole thing is going on at a new spot called The Warehouse, at 901 6th Ave South. And while sta

• A Sad Day for the East Side: Alley Cat Closes

  Those of you who keep up with our sister blog Bites probably caught Carrington's post about Alley Cat closing its doors. While shows at the Cat were somewhat few and far between, the place offered pretty sweet occasional patio parties, not to mention DJ sets from a dude named Dave (anyone know his last name?), who spun some of the finest rock 'n' roll, soul and funk vinyl you could ever hear. I'll long cherish the sets I caught from Hans Condor and the dozens upon dozens of chicken sandwiches I

• Jensen Sportag, 'Jackie' [MP3]

  Local electro duo Jensen Sportag is back--or, y'know, still here--with their new track, called "Jackie." It's from their forthcoming EP of the same name, due out Mar. 3 on Midisport, the band's own imprint. Said EP is also slated to include a Max Tundra remix. (Speaking of Max Tundra, you may have heard that M.T. will accompany Junior Boys at Mercy Lounge May 1.) OK, time to disco: Jensen Sportag, "Jackie" [MP3] I'm dancing as much as I can while still putting fingers to keyboard. As for the

• DJ Steve Aoki at Play June 10

  Yeah, so maybe there's been some sexie production work going on at his label offices after hours, but that's not stopping Dim Mak honcho Steve Aoki from touring the world, wearing wood rosaries on his head and throwing release parties for new T-shirt designs. And he did post the Hipsters in Space video on his MySpace. Whatever. What really matters is that DJ Steve Aoki comes to Nashville June 10 to jam upon the ones and the twos at Play. Openers will be Justin Kase and Coach. Doors at 9 p.m., 1

  ​Uncle Skeleton is the project of Ross Wariner--the half of now-defunct KinderCastle that's moving away. Back in March, Uncle Skeleton released a collection of smart electro-pop numbers known as Pancho Chumley, and now, thanks to the help of YK Records, there is a collection of remixes available for free. You can download or stream the record in its entirety for free (or download the single-song "megamix" version), and it features remixes by such prolific local knob-twiddlers as Jensen Spo

• Justin Kase to Join Kesha on Tour

  ​Cream operatives reported this morning that after her performance last night at 12th & Porter (opening for Mickey Avalon), pop singer and perhaps soon-to-be-overexposed blonde Kesha had tapped Justin Kase for her touring band. Kase confirms via email that he's in Chicago and will be heading into rehearsal later today in preparation for tonight's show. Guess this means Nashville's bloggingest blog house DJ will be on the road for a while, and we might have to wait a bit longer for more Fit

We had eaten twice our body weight in turkey and chocolate over the previous 48 hours, it was colder than a snowman's snow-balls outside and despite our desire to get more exercise than just walking back and forth between the couch and the f

  Like you wanna be callin' me all the time.You already know that Justin Kase has joined the touring band of the L.A.-by-way-of-Brentwood (by way of L.A.) popster Kesha--or Ke$ha, if you're into that sort of thing. (Depending on who you talk to, this new gig may or may not consist of standing behind turntables during the show and looking cool, then collecting a check. Either way, it's pretty nice to see a local DJ on the MTV.) You also know that Kase has been working on a new project called Fitout

  Check it out: Justin Kase on Ellen! I've gotta say, seeing 2010 start with Rush Limbaugh suffering from chest pains in a Hawaiian hospital has given me high hopes for what new and exciting prospects lie waiting in the decade ahead. Another notable happening to mark the start of the tweens is the overnight success of a local(?) diva. At press time, it's Jan. 6 and, so far, the artist of the decade is (drum roll, please) Ke$ha.
