DICE POOL

A few months ago I posted a HUGE MEGAPOST about a Belgian dude named François who does all these different projects including Ssaliva, Kingfisherg, Cupp Cave and, from what I can tell, Munch Room. Guy's got a new 10" out June 13 on Vlek Records as Cupp Cave called the Dice Pool EP, a rad four-track excursion into thrown back house and flamboyant dance grooves.

After listening to the streams for a week, it's become apparent that this is by far the best stuff I've heard from Cupp Cave. My favorite tracks are "Thoughtograph" and "Hypersport," two of his more club-ready jams, seriously waiting for some mighty-lunged diva vocals to burst through all powerful and sassy. Can I get a Funchess remix over here? Anyway, all I'm saying is slug down enough coffee with this in your headphones and you'll be getting wild in no time.

What's better is Vlek is giving us a 10" to give away to one lucky reader. Just leave your email or Twitter handle in the comments and we will pick one from random on June 13 when the record is released and contact you regarding where to ship it. Also of note, the record's sleeve was inspired by Stukenborg and was printed with a Vandercook SP20 letterpress using hundreds and hundreds of dice. Check photos of that process HERE. For now you can stream the whole thing on Soundcloud and/or buy the MP3s on bandcamp and/or pre-order the record.

NO RADIO

Unfortunately this week's edition of Papercup Mixmaster will not happen due to a sports preemption. The following week is questionable as well seeing as how I'll be at CMJ. However I still have two pairs of tickets to give away to King Khan & BBQ Show/Dum Dum Girls at Pearl Street October 28. Leave your name and email in the comments to grab a pair. I'm also throwing this out to Twitter so the first two people that get at me will receive the tickets.

GANG GANG GIVEAWAY

One of my favorite albums last year was Gang Gang Dance's space-trip of a record Saint Dymphna (The Social Registry), bursting at the seams with warbled yelps, metallic sheen and enough sneaky grooves and big beats to freak out squares.

GGD will perform at the Pearl Street clubroom (chance of being moved to the Iron Horse) with their opener Hex Diagram as well as Rabbit Rabbit (who were great opening for Ponytail last April).

The Iron Horse Entertainment Group is hitting me up with a pair of tickets to give away on air this Wednesday, July 22 from 8-10PM EST and the following Wednesday, July 29, at the same time. I'll be announcing the tickets all the time on the air and giving them to the first caller, so dial (413)545-3691 to snatch up a free pair and listen to WMUA on 91.1FM locally or stream from wmua.org anywhere else.
