We’re so stoked that Vito & Druzzi from The Rapture are DJing our next party that the world might as well come to an end!
These guys are skilled DJs with dope taste in music, but you already know this. Daft Punk knows it too, that’s why they asked them to DJ their afterparties on their last US tour.
Plus they released a really slick and eclectic mix last year on !K7, which introduced a lot of people to a little ditty called Township Funk that has been played at pretty much every good party we’ve been to since we first heard it in Berlin last summer. Their mix blends the best of all genres to get you moving, from The Bar-Kays to Alter Ego. You should definitely pick up a copy if you haven’t already.

Friday, May 8th @ Slowdown, Goo presents:

We contemplated the fact that Courtney Love might be upset about this use of this image of the talking Kurt Cobain action figure, but then we contemplated how much money she probably makes off those things, so fuck it!

We’re throwing this party to honor our beloved and departed celebrities, as well as a genre of music which was prematurely declared deceased — disco! Disco is as prevalant as ever! If you don’t believe us, ask A-Trak who posted this excellent Giorgio Moroder classic on his Infinity + 1 promotional calendar.

Giorgio Moroder – E=MC²

More proof that disco is a valid musical expression is the work of Arthur Russell. There’s a great new documentary about Arthur called Wild Combination available on DVD From Palm Pictures. Chalk up this post as one more blog for Chuck Russell to check out! Our favorite Arthur Russell tunes are the disco jams he did under the name Dinosaur L.

And then there’s our special guests, Ssion!

The Ssion already have a bit of disco influence, as much as say, Madonna did early in her career, but this stellar Glass Candy remix adds a little of that Italian disco flavor we love so much.

Needless to say we are big fans and couldn’t be more excited to have them play a Goo party! If you want to get a taste of what you’re in for be sure to check out Ssion’s videos on YouTube.

Break out the glowsticks and pacifiers! Pick up your baggy pants from
your parents’ house because on March 19th we’re throwing a rave at Slowdown.
We know that some ravers can’t stop once they start, so we’re throwing
another rave the next night at Box Awesome in Lincoln!

Here’s a little blast from the past and a taste of what’s to come:

It’s Valentine’s Day again! So we decided to share some love with our friends with a mixtape. We all picked songs and Nate mixed it down.

We couldn’t be happier that George Bush is being replaced by Barack Obama. It’s a dream come true. It only made sense to throw a party in celebration of the occasion.
One song can’t summarize the overwhelming joy that fills our hearts so here’s a mix from DJ Paul V.

Oh, and in case you haven’t heard it, DJ Z-Trip made an Obama victory mix, which can be found here. Check it out! Although, we’ll probably just play it at the beginning of the night if you wanna come to the Slowdown and listen to it with us!

We’re back, and we’re throwing our second consecutive New Year’s Eve party at the Slowdown! It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 2009. Time flies when you’re having fun. Damn you, Goo, for making us have fun and stealing time away from us! Here’s a song to commemorate the time that we’ve killed.

Now let’s party!

Although it will still be a while before Goo returns to a danse floor, we still feel the need to share good music with our friends. If we were to throw a party today, you can bet we would play something by this fine young lad. Jape has been called “the savior of Irish music” but we have no idea what that means!

We just know he’s good.
