Event: Social Studies presents: Runaway

Music/Event: Runaway Live at Good Life

For all those who were there but mostly for those who missed that Special night, Here is the Recording from Runaway's Live DJ set @ Good Life Boston.

Music: Creatures of Habit - How We Lustre (SOLAR12007)

Creatures of Habit, is the Disco/House brainchild of our good friend DJ/Producer Brenden Wesley. Comprised of a wild collection of guest players, musical virtuosos and analogue gear whores alike, Creatures of Habit debut “Lustre” on Scottish Cosmic label, Solardisco. Lustre's hypnotic, low-slung bass-line, flirtatious instrumentation and studio wizardry takes us into a cosmic trip starting in Boston, and descending in Brooklyn with Remixes by Runaway and Nick Chacona. I have to say that I'm personally really proud of this release. We've had the opportunity to preview these tracks as Demos some time ago. We are ecstatic to say....it's your turn now.

++++++++ and now lets PARTY +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This FREE event will feature a headlining set from hotly tipped duo, Brooklyn's own Runaway, who have a remix appearing on the release, amongst other top local acts including Wesley. Joining these two artists at Good Life will be some of the finest local djs/producers devoted to underground dance music. Opening duties will fall to local busy boy John Barera, who holds down a day job in the record business when he's not busy dropping sets all over Boston, Berlin, Barcelona, Brooklyn & beyond. Also on supporting duties me, DJ Coatti Mondi. In room two will be local club kids and electronic music aficionados C&G, who hold down multiple residencies across the city and just opened for techno legend Juan Atkins in February.

This new record marks quite an auspicious debut for Creatures of Habit, and this party promises to be one to remember. Better clear your Saturday schedule, because you might want to sleep in a bit!....And like this wasn't enough...The Red Bull Music Academy will be on Location to Record the Set.

Music: I’m a Cliché...has a moment of crisis

To Celebrate the first 5 years of I’m a Cliché, the french label is releasing a compilation entitled "Moment Of A Crisis". The first CD, called Overtime, features all the tracks that make this label so revered, such as ‘The Mighty Atom’ by Simian Mobile Disco, ‘Everywhere in Town’ by Yuksek, ‘Crashed Cadillac’ by Bot’Ox,‘Putting in the Overtime’ by Runaway and ‘Delayer’ by Cosmo Vitelli. The second CD, ‘Holiday’ is all about brand new tracks exclusive to this compilation. It’s a journey through musical genres, from radical rock’n’roll (The Fear, side project of Milo Smee from English weirdos Chrome Hoof) to Surf Music (‘Purple and Green’ by Electronicat or ‘Grease’ by It’s A Fine Line, side project of Ivan Smagghe and Tim Paris). Dance floors wont be left behind. The Aussies from The Canyons, the brand new Modular and DFA artist, deliver the killer ‘Blue Snake’, while the New Yorkers Runaway hit us with ‘Your League’, crafted with the same dub-house feel that made last year’s Rekids/DFA release a hit. Don't miss the huge ‘Hungry for the Power’ by Azari & III, a proper hit this year for sure. Now enjoy this little video...

Music: Lost Valentinos Run-away!!!

Perhaps we weren't paying attention the first time around, but the Australian group is now ready for a debut album and their new single "Serio" is packaged with serious heat! Our pal Jacques Renault of Runaway provides them with a touch of Cosmic Disco into the kind of territory we've learned to love here at Manifest Destitute. Beyond that, I remember Lost Valentinos from a Kitsune compilation. I guess I'm gonna have to go look through my records and figure out which one it was in. Also, what's with all the Pre-Columbian references? "En serio?" i mean for real!!! An ex-girlfriend once told me i looked like one of the dudes, so now it's freaking me out. Are they like a hispanic immigrants band from Sydney. Jesus, that's a fucking long swim for any Mexican (and trust me, we know a thing or two on that subject!) Orale Guey, me voy a disfrutar esta conquistadisco...

Music: Runaway seen in Chinatown!!!

As we eat some spectacular House Special Fried Rice (ironic huh) we present to you Runaway's newest mix promoting their latest 12" single on Brennan Green´s Chinatown imprint. "Alberg 30" is a dark new disco track with lethal synths that borderline that Jacking Chicago Sound we've come to love so much over the years. Runaway's mix is likewise a bangin' House Mix that just pretty much explains why they were voted NYC's best DJ's by paper magazine. Sometimes it's good to be darlings of the underground, but this mix is definitely one for the big leagues...and I'm not just saying that cuz they are playing at Fabric for Valentine's day (...but you get the idea). Enjoy lovers, enjoy!

Music: Runaway...Live @ Akult (The complete Set)

Although our Friends Jacques and Marcos of Runaway are currently in Quebec sipping red wine (hopefully not from a pbr can this time) and probably over indulging on Poutine with Brennan Green, Let's not forget their memorable set at Akult from about a month or so ago. Although the night didn't end at the Goodlife Bar, here for y'all is the set that was played that day. Resident's Brenden Wesley and John Barrera provide the tunes on Part One, while the boys of Runway kill it on Part Two. If you missed the gig, well no worries. Here's some candy for you! Enjoy...

Music/Event: Runaway comes to Akult!!!

After their big debut on DFA, Brooklyn's Jacques Renault and Macros Cabral (aka Runaway) are back in Boston to give us one more night of Disco infused sounds at Akult's Disco Emporium (@ the Goodlife bar). If you haven't heard their track yet, "Brooklyn Club Jam takes elements from old school house, acid, and disco and melds them together into a chugging dancefloor mover that'll work at both the sophisticated club and the grimey warehouse"- And trust me, the folks at NY's Turntable Lab know EXACTLY what they are talking about. Here at Manifest Destitute we've been listening to this track for a minute now and we love it, but we are definitely grooving more to Brennan Green's version. It's all you want to expect from a House music piano riff, the Disco drums from heaven and a bass line so catchy you'd wish it was the beginning to "funky town". I hope DFA stops making singles this good, because it's really not fair to my pocket. I need to pay my rent and GOD knows James Murphy ain't paying my bills. Oh, did I forget to mention Runway are coming this Saturday to Goodlife in an all DFA Records sponsored event? What?...Get out of here!!! But for real, don't miss the party of the Fall this Saturday. The event will be brought to you by the good folks at WERS, The Weekly Dig, our friends at LAB and of course the Akult Disco crew. See ya Guys there (we'll be in the corner by the right speaker!) and don't forget to bring your dancing shoes!!!

Free Admission (21+)

Listen: Runaway - Brooklyn Club Jam (Brennan Green Version) (Buy it Here!!!)


C'mon, you know you want it!!! So don't miss it!

Music: Runaway...Live @ Akult

It's perhaps not a secret that Runaway are DFA's newest prodigal children. In anticipation to the Vinyl release of their "Brooklyn Jam", Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral have been busy bringing joy and disco nostalgia to New Yorkers for the past 5 years making them NYC's finest DJ's (according to the readers of paper magazine). And although that might not mean much to most mean spirited Boston Cousins, well that speaks volumes to us anyway. We were lucky enough to have them at Akult earlier this year and now it's time for them to come back and finish what they started. So anticipation to what will certainly become THE party of the FALL (October 18th@Goodlife), here's a little something they left last time they strolled through town....Can you Dig it!!!???
