5 ACTS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS AT WAREHOUSE OF HORRORS
This weekend, BangOn!NYC’s annual Halloween event, Warehouse of Horrors is slated to take over Knockdown Center in Queens. Anyone who has followed The Wook of Wall Street knows that we stan BangOn!NYC and their Elements events pretty damn hard, so we’re prepping you for one of the best events this spooky season. Here are some acts you absolutely should not miss if you’re attending Warehouse of Horrors.
Ember Island Completes Debut EP with "Leaving" Track and Video
The time has finally come, with Ember Island’s newest premiere today, the trio’s debut EP is complete. Starting in August, the Swedish group has released a handful of brilliant compositions (along with gorgeous visual accompaniments), building toward the climactic moment where they had accumulated a full EP release. Today I’m happy to help them bring this amazing collection of work together with the final piece of the Ember Island EP puzzle: “Leaving.”
After All This Waiting, Slander Doesn’t Disappoint
I have been haunted since my experience at Moonrise Festival 2015 by the fact that I didn’t see Slander live. Had I known then what I know now, I would never have slept on such an amazing performance. For the past eight months the duo from Los Angeles have eluded me; leaving me especially disparaged when I missed them in Atlantic City last October. But this past Friday, I stopped living vicariously through SoundCloud live sets, and witnessed the hype in person at Webster Hall in New York City.
I Sat Down With RJD2 to Talk Remixes, Staying Current and Artistry
I walked into Brooklyn Bowl on Tuesday night with a lot of nervous excitement keeping my heart at a rapid BPM. The place was relatively empty, as I walked up to the will-call window and requested my media pass before moving into the venue and dialing up RJ Krohn on my cell phone. No answer. I anxiously paced around the venue, until I noticed RJ working with some cables and his laptop behind the turntables on stage. I approached him and introduced myself, and he was immediately apologetic; apparently a cancelled flight delayed his arrival to just fifteen minutes before doors had opened. I told him to take his time, I was flexible.
A Conversation With GRiZ: Funky Tunes From A Righteous Dude
On the day that GRiZ announced the specific, yet accurately titled, “My Friends and I Decided to Come to Your City & Play Some Super Rad Small Shows While I Write My Next Album” Tour, I knew that I was going to have to be quick on the draw to earn myself a spot inside the event. Within minutes of the release I was furiously typing away on my keyboard hoping to reach someone who could get me through the door. It’s not everyday that a producer who just sold out Red Rocks comes and plays a ~250 capacity venue like The Studio at Webster Hall. This was going to be intimate, and this was going to be phenomenal.
