This last event was a special and familiar one: we had Moullinex in a concert (with Bruno Cardoso aka Xinobi at the guitar) and an it’s-been-months-since-we’ve-all-met-at-a-dj-booth dj set by all the members of our crew – Bandido$, Xinobi, Moullinex, Double Damage, FLiP, Cpt.Luvlace, Rockets.

If you’ve missed it, whip yourself. After that, check out the video-report.

Arriving a couple of months off date, this is the new mixtape from the DJ duo Bandido$. After spending some weeks in jail for playing too loud at parties, B$ came out on parole and released this year’s fourth mixtape. Ricardo Tércio, illustration master, has made their best portrait ever to go along with the music. You can either stream the mix by using the player below, or click here to download it.

After a great night in Houston – some pics here and here, and an interview for the supernice Kiyoshi Online – we’ve finally made it to NYC.

The Finger on the Pulse show with Justin Faust, Punches and VDRK at Public Assembly on Saturday was awesome! The rest of the time was spent in record stores, music gear shops, hanging around in Williamsburgh and Manhattan. This city in spring becomes even more beautiful. We can’t wait to return.

Next stop, Vegas!

Bandido$ are at it again. Here’s their mixtape for March 2010, on their ongoing series of 12 mixtapes, one for each month of the year. If you haven’t heard the others, here’s January and February. The illustration for this month’s mixtape is by Sofia Rojas. You can either stream the mix by using the player below, or click here to download it.

Discotexas has finally arrived to Texas. Meet your maker! We were received with heartwarming hospitality, and played a great show at Mink. Thanks to everyone who came to see us!

No catastrophes today (yet). Heading to NYC now!!

Catastrophe Update: we were involved in a (small) car accident.

We’ve left home 48 hours ago, and since then, some facts:

One of our flights was cancelled and then reopened with no notification at all

A reservation for one of us wasn’t found

We managed to dodge Volcano Eyjafjallajokull’s wrath

Our UA907 flight from Munich to Chicago had to do an emergency landing in Heathrow, where we were informed that:

1. - One of the generators in the aircraft broke down, thus 3 hours of repair
2. - Someone in our airplane had a seizure, thus paramedic circus

We managed to get to Chicago in time of our show at Berlin Club, which we did (and by the way, it was great)

We had breakfast right after the show, and drove directly to the airport

One of us realized he had lost his passport, which made us loose the flight to Houston

There’s no beauty in pancakes with Corn Syrup

After some display of despair and sleep deprivation, we managed to seduce a ticket office clerk to rebook us on the next flight for free (see below)

We have a much bigger consideration for United Airlines (see above)

We like taco stands, but tacos don’t like us.

We can’t wait for Houston.

That’s right. We’re proud to announce – and it will take more than a little Volcano to stop ‘em -  a true Discotexas Titan Tour ™ by Moullinex and Xinobi across North America. See you across the Atlantic!

It happens again tomorrow! Our special guest for the Discotexas Titan Thursdays event for April is the one and only Breakbot, who right after the release of his Baby I’m Yours EP (which we love) on Ed Banger Records, will join Rockets and Cpt. Luvlace on the decks for what promises to be a hell of a party!

DRESS CODE WARNING: We’re trying something special with this party by setting a dress code for it. We’re asking everyone (boys and girls!) to show up in shorts and white socks – hey, cut jeans are OKAY! This is going to be amazing. More info on our always updated Facebook page. See you tomorrow!

Alright, here’s the deal: You’ve heard of our very own Cpt. Luvlace. And you’ve heard of Fritus Potatoes Suicide. When these two projects get together, they make an explosion, and that explosion is called C O B R A. Go play their introduction set and get ready to dance to their stuff, because they’re landing in a dj booth near you soon. Hit Soundcloud to download the set. C O B R A is house, and more info on C O B R A (these guys are making me use my spacebar) is coming very soon!

If you’ve seen this post and the above illustration, you know what’s going on – it’s Bandido$’ mixtape for February, which you can play and download over at Soundcloud. This month’s illustration is by Laro Vilas Boas. Make sure you don’t miss the interlude at the 23rd minute mark, and show B$ some love over on twitter, facebook and myspace. Enjoy!
