PRIME TIME

Tonight sees the return of NYC DJ Eamon Harkin to Sovietpanda's Too Much Love party at First Avenue. Coming off of a fresh 12" release on the venerable Wurst Edits label, and garnering much support from the world's best DJs, expect an amazing night of dancing to classic music new and old.

In the past year alone, Harkin has shared bills with many of dance music's most elite. For his party Prime Time at new NYC hot spot Santos Party House, Harkin has hosted DJs including electro pioneer Greg Wilson, Rub-N-Tug, DFA's Hercules & Love Affair, disco edit master Todd Terje, and Italo disco legend Alexander Robotnick, while his weekly summer jam Sunday Best featured sets from Roy Davis Jr., Riton, Danny Wang, Joakim, and Kevin Saunderson. And the list goes on, having played with In Flagranti, Crystal Castles, Peter Hook of New Order, Diplo, Glass Candy, the Glimmers, Tim Sweeney, Moby, A-Trak, CSS, Afrika Bambaataa, and MSTRKRFT to name a few. Check out his Myspace and his recent classic house mix.

Harkin is a great DJ with a wide-ranging selection of vinyl, making this a night not to be missed, so make sure to hit up First Avenue on Saturday for Too Much Love. 18 and over, $3 or $1 with student ID, Sovietpanda opening. As a bonus, acid house developer DJ Pierre is playing upstairs in the VIP room.

THERE'S FUN TO BE HAD

Many thanks to Eamon Harkin for coming up and rocking faces at Too Much Love this past Saturday. This was one of my definite all-time-favorite TML sets, as he played a great, great mix of new disco - all on vinyl! - plus threw a few curveballs in there, including the original "Star Guitar" (still vinyl!), Moby (!), and this...

Sons & Daughters - "Dance Me In (JD Twitch And The Truffle Club Optimo Mix)"

#1. I haven't heard this song in years.
#2. I had no idea there was an Optimo mix.
#3. Fucken sweet.

Be sure to check out all the great stuff Eamon is doing and, of course, the FUN party at Studio B. Stay tuned for his mix to turn up on the podcast, which will officially relaunch after New Year's. Cheers!
