Filthy Warehouse Info:
A Little Old Warehouse in Brooklyn...

The Place...A Little Old Warehouse in Brooklyn is an event that is being thrown in a Warehouse in Williamsburg Brooklyn which is 5 Mins from NYC. The event is Starring RL DJs Aluv and Joe Lodi aka Luv & Lodi along with up and coming Dj Producer Dave Rosario. Dirty Beats is taking it back to basics with this event. Aluv and Joe Lodi are no new comers to the scene. Together over the last 12 years they both have either promotionally directed djed or have installed sound in every club in NYC Miami or Vegas. They are most known for running the Soundfactory from 1997 to 2000 and were the first promoters who helped Jonathan Peters boost his career to where he is now. These guys are very well respected in the business and are trying to create something new and fresh in NYC.

Portrait of a DJ - Bridgitte Boucher

QC: ok, ready for your interrogation?
BB: yep
QC: What style of music do you play?
BB: I enjoy playing a lot of different genres. Sometimes I enjoy mixing minimal and techno, tech house, other times I like to mix electro and indie dance....I always enjoy throwing in something unusual here and there...
BB: I love ska, punk rock, and of course, indie and rock...my roots in music
QC: Why do you DJ or, what motivates you?
BB: hmmm. Here's the poetic answer. I'm totally motivated by the beats and the sounds I can create with a mixer, and the way it moves people. Sound is amazing manipulator of the mind. But really, I wouldn't be doing all of this if it wasn't for Init. He saw it in me and pushed me to go for it. So really, I have him to thank.
QC: (wow, you both amaze me. did you know that?)
BB: oh i do? *wipes crumbs from mouth*
Bridgitte Boucher smiles
Queen Coronet sighs and moves on...
BB: lol
QC: When you aren't DJing what do you like do in SL?
BB: I love seeing new places in sl...the AM radio builds amaze me....the art sims always have amazing creations...and shopping of course...but mostly I like to hang with my friends and hear tunes.
BB: lol
BB: oh i said amazing twice...insert an appropriate adjective to replace amazing for me
QC: oooh, i don't like to edit. i prefer you in the raw.
BB: amazing!
BB: and of course, i'm partnered...i spend a lot of time with Ideal
QC: and i don't think that came out the way i intended. just make that your catch phrase. Amazing!
BB: Amazing! :D
QC: Where can you be found playing?
BB: I'm usually playing at Drain, Tir Na Gra, Nick Nack, Somewhere....random parties @ Rouge....the Naughty Box of course....and special events here and there.
QC: Anything else you want the world to know?
BB: I need to give props to Thinker Moy and Justine Perenti for giving me my first opportunities to spin in clubs here in sl, Alphabox and at HOME. I am in awe of the electronic music community that we are a part of here on sl, and the level of talent that is represented, so I am always humbly grateful for any opportunity to spin for any audience among such great djs. I appreciate all of my friends who have been so supportive and HOO at the right times during my sets. Lol. P.s. My panties are for sale in the lobby.
QC: You're great, B!! Thankies!!!

The Underground perseveres @ SL6B

This is what two people look like when they are rolling with the punches:

Turns out the SL6B festivities planned by The Underground were seriously debilitated by the failure of the SL6B Dimension sim to hold more than 40-50 avatars at one time.

If you happen to make your way to The Underground's SL6B parcel and we're nowhere to be found there's a good probability that we're making party at Nick Nack. Thank you Mr. Ideal Flow for opening up your home to The Underground. And thank you Briddy for serving cheese and crackers and tapping into you personal box of white zin.

Big thanks to Dane Koba, Silus Kappler, Jasminx Saenz, Bridgitte Boucher, Init Hubble and Lanne Wise who kept the party going all day and into the night. In the end, this is really what The Underground is all about, isn't it? Collectively we make the music, the party, the memories.

The Underground @ SL6B....good to go!!

In less than 24 hours the SL6B sims will open to the public and The Underground will be there to bring you the most fantastical DJ line up ev-ah!!
SLURL to the UG parcel
UPDATE!!! The sim was full today, and maybe tomorrow. If we're not at SL6B, then look for us at The UG's SL6B annex, Nick Nack!!

SL6B sim....come back, please!?

As you may already know, our group, The Underground is an exhibitor at SL6B. Briddy and I have been working all week on preparing for the SL6B celebration that begins on June 23rd. We were given a deadline of June 20th, midnight to have our build complete. As of Saturday morning we were tinkering with a few things, sprinkling some glow here and there, and of course, planting some flowers in the biodomies. I came in a little later to move some prims around and mid-edit I was kicked from SL. As it turns out there is some massive emergency maintenance in progress.......

The big vacant space filled with water is where the sim should be. And it ain't. In the meantime instead of getting all freaked out about a SL failure, we're taking happy pills and working out the UBER-FANTASTIC DJ line up!!!!! Get ready to peek into the future of the music scene brought to you by The Underground!!
p.s. SIM, come back, please?!

Happy Birthday Second Life!!

The Underground has been given a parcel in the SL6B sims and we're gonna get our party on!! future style!!!
Come join Briddy, me and the rest of The Underground crew for some amazing parties. It's so big it's gonna take us a week to do it proper!!

[22:57] Queen Coronet: the binary code is a translation
[22:57] Bridgitte Boucher: ooh yes
[22:57] Queen Coronet: of the birthday message
[22:57] Bridgitte Boucher: i could clearly see that
[22:57] Bridgitte Boucher: i speak binese
[22:57] Queen Coronet: of course. i forgot you spent a year in binaria

Open Court Sessions @ The Underground Basketball Courts - WIN!!

Today was Open Court Session at the Underground Basketball Courts and it was an amazing success!!! Operating within The Underground group, Briddy and I organize electronic music events. In the past we've done open courts and thought it was time for another. The concept is to do an open call for DJs to come and play one hour sets, head to head. We donned our UG uniforms and headed off to The Underground Courts.

Before we knew it, the DJs were lined up and ready to go. At some points we neared max load on the sim. The entire day we had a great crowd of people coming and going. It was really fantastic to hear great tunes, enjoy our friends and make new friends too! I'm so thankful I have Briddy to do all the work so I can relax and take all the credit. (Seriously, I'm absolutely thankful for all she does.) And I'm lovin' on all the members of the music community that came out today to have a good time.

I want to make sure to say thank you to all the DJs that brought us tunes throughout the day: Bridgitte "Briddy the Diva" Boucher, Jasminx Saenz, NuRito Inshan, Luigy Balhaus, DJAmpz Dinzel, Goodes Bade, DJOsiris Darkstone, Mbone Pizzaro, Coggy Nikolaidis, Ideal Flow, and Genki Dreamscape. We love you all!! *runs around giving thank you hugs (and gropes)*

And finally, I present to you today's winner of The Underground Hot Mess of the Day Award... The North Court. This is only the second time in history of the award that a location won the award and it's well deserved. [Previously my house had won after something went horribly awry when I tried to move it just a teeny bit] Nothing shouts out "hot mess" like hippo balloons, a tuba player and a Barbie bedroom set. Well done!!

Gratuitous Piccy - Keeping the DJ in line - part 2 (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE)

Most people think Briddy does all the work in The Underground. I thought I'd give you a little peek behind the scenes. Let's just say this DJ won't make the same mistake again.

The Underground Club Crawl and Open Courts

Last week The Underground presented it's very first Club Crawl. In fact, I'm going to proclaim that it was SL's very first Club Crawl. In my two years I've never experienced anything like it, I don't think anyone has. The concept was to bring the music community together for an all day event, 10 hours, 10 clubs, 10 DJs. And it worked magnificently!! I want to be sure to thank my co-conspirator, Briddy, for working hard to make this happen. And big thanks to all the club owners and DJs for believing in the concept enough to dedicate their day to The Club Crawl. And super huggy licky thank you to everyone that came along to participate in the madness. We're all ready planning Club Crawl 2 - Electric Boogaloo so be sure to keep your eye on this space OR IM me or Bridgitte Boucher for an invite to The Underground!
(p.s. Next time can someone tell me I didn't have panties on? I think i lost them in the 3rd hour and surprisingly no one mentioned it to me. nice. real nice.)

Oh wait! There's more! Yesterday was Sunday = Fun Day. I opened up The UG Courts for a quick pick up game between DJs. And it was funtastic! DJ Xavi Bandler vs. DJ Dane Palianta followed by DJ PlusMinus vs. DJ Briddy "The Diva" Boucher!! Two hours of music, 4 different sounds, avies running amok! Once again a unique party experienced offered up by The Underground. Again, big thanks to the DJs for bringing the tunes and huge thank you to the crowds for embracing the fun!!

The Underground - It's about the music

Sometime in recent history Briddy Boucher (pronounced boo-shay) and meh-self decided that we needed to take over the world. Wait. I mean we needed a little organization to help our efforts for world domination. Wait. I mean that we had to find some way to corral the madness of what we do and bring it to the people.

It's not just about what I'm doing. Or the work that Briddy does (and yes, when she's not busy eating she does work.) It's about the people we do it with. We wanted a place to bring everyone together to join in the fun, to celebrate the inane, and to gesturbate at will.

And thus The Underground was born. The group charter of The Underground says it best:
It's about the music. We spend our days and nights enjoying good tunes with good friends. We do it where you might not expect but it always feels so good!

On Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 7 p.m. we celebrate our 100th member, GW Raymaker aka Mr. 100. NOTE: It's really not so much about having 100 members but rather a great excuse to give out a sausage cart, a TRUTH gift certificate, get GW in tight shorts, and to pah-tay like it's November 26Th!! woot!!

For a good time IM Queen Coronet or Bridgitte Boucher!!
