LEAVING FOR FRANCE/GET MY SHEEN ON (FREE TRACK)/ITYG?

MORNING EVERYONE!!!!

I’m pleased as punch, just excited as a mug because in 12 hours me and Vivian are going to be on a plane on our way to Paris!  This is going to be my first gig overseas, and I can’t think of a better place…  Never been to Social Club but always heard nothing but great things…So if you find yourself in Paris this Friday night come on down!

We’re going to stay through the weekend and then on Monday night I will be performing an acoustic set on The Laura Leishman Project on Le Mouv radio, which is also extremely exciting because I’ve never DONE an acoustic set anywhere, let alone on the radio (it’s not something The Rapture was ever asked to do) so tune in, or if you cannot tune in I’m sure I’ll find a way to post the audio up here when I get back.

GET MY SHEEN ON

For those who missed it yesterday, I put up a new free track yesterday on the Mad Decent Blog.  The track is called Get My Sheen On, and it is, predictably, about getting one’s Charlie Sheen on… Originally I wrote it to submit it for Three 6 Mafia but when they didn’t pick it up I decided “f*ck it, I’ll just do it myself.”  The track was done by DJ Saucy P, the mastermind behind DJ Frosty’s “Ride That Wave” and many more.  There’s also a remix version featuring everyone’s favorite rowdies, Ninjasonik.  You can go check it out here http://maddecent.com/blog/mattie-safer-get-my-sheen-on or you can listen/download below!  Tell your friends, share it, go nuts.  It’s free music!

IS THAT YOUR GIRL?

Finally, some of y’all have been asking, so here it is, a streaming player for Is That Your Girl? for blogging/listening purposes… You can get the embed code by hitting the “share” button.  Enjoy!

LIVE VIDEO/PHOTOS FROM CHARLOTTE, NC

So last week I went on a little mini-tour with Dances, hitting up Charlotte, Miami & Philadelphia.  The Future Gospel Road Show.  The parties were a blast.  Thanks to all who came out.  It’s been wonderful getting back out there in front of people.  Here are a couple of live videos from Charlotte:

NEW MUSIC!!! “IS THAT YOUR GIRL?” AUDIO CLIP

So, someone asked me the other day, “Mattie, why don’t you put ‘Is That Your Girl?’ up on the site so that the people can hear it?”

I asked the big boss man Pedro if I could and he said “Yes yes yes but how about just a 2 minute sample?”

Ok.

So here it is, a 2 minute snippet from “Is That Your Girl?”  Enjoy, share, anticipate!  ITYG comes out on the Ed Banger mix compilation “Let The Children Techno” on February 14th (Valentine’s Day) cuz we know you’re gonna LOVE it.

And once again, here is a live video clip of the track from the show I did recently at Le Bain

THIS AND THAT…

Hey Y’all,

How you doing? 

Me?  I been hard at work in the studio mixing a few new bits and bobs for the forthcoming “Future Gospel Sound” mixtape.  All the tracks are now done, just need to make the actual mix.  I’m very excited to be getting some more music out to you, it’ll be available here for free sometime in February (I imagine).

Also been booking myself some more shows, waiting on final confirmations from a few folks, and I’ll put the dates up here.

The “Let The Children Techno” compilation comes out in just a little over 2 weeks.  My track, “Is That Your Girl?” (featured on said comp, in case you weren’t aware) is starting to get a little bit of love… Laurent Garnier played it on Radio 1 the other night.  Or so I’ve heard.  And you can listen to a nice live mix from Brodinski which features my track too:

BRODINSKI - Live DJ Set @ Laura Leishman Project sur Le Mouv’ by llplemouv

So yeah, things are good.

Catch you on the flipside.

SATURDAY NIGHT WAS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT…

Cold as all hell, but beautiful too!

Viv and I arrived at the club around 12:30 or so, Blu Jemz was rocking the nice warm up set.  People started piling in around 1 AM.  Caught up with a few friends, bought some drinks, admired the view (Le Bain is on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel), got ready.  Around 2:15 or so it was time to go on.

The crowd was great.  Lots of energy, lots of smiles, lots of grinding out on the floor.  There was this crazy “maneater” vibe in the room, all the women were eying the men like lions stalking antelope.  One friend of mine, one of the nicest, quietest, shyest guys you’ll ever meet somehow ended up back in a hotel room with 2 of them!  He credited my performance for setting the mood in the club… :)

Finished up the set with “Is That Your Girl?” and it really went off.  I think Telli forgot his verse halfway through but it didn’t matter.  Sh-t was fun as hell, Jemz was working the delays and EQs the whole time.  It was a great time!  The adrenaline rush that followed was magnificent, but let me tell you, when I got home and it finally wore off I crashed HARD!

Can’t wait ‘til next time!  Got more gigs in the works, keep your eyes here for details!

ANOTHER GREAT THING TO DO 2NITE/MY WEEKEND WITH BLU JEMZ

Tonight at 8 PM (ish) I’m gonna go to East Village Radio and hang out with Blu Jemz on “Authentic Shit with Mark Ronson” except it won’t be with Mark Ronson, it’ll  be with Blu Jemz. Listen Here: http://www.eastvillageradio.com/shows/nowplaying.aspx?contentid=1224&showid=77560

Gonna be playing some new music and yukkin’ it up with James about this and that.  I should be on sometime during the first hour.  I believe Terry from Hussle Club is gonna be on in the 2nd hour.

And then of course, Saturday night you can come hang out with me and Jemz again at Le Bain: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=148236205230106

Not sure what we’re gonna do Sunday, probably just lie in bed all day, cuddle, order in and read the NYT… #gross

I’ve got 2 shows coming up over the next couple of months, with more to be confirmed.  Monday February 21st I will be in Philly performing @ Mad Decent Mondays (@ Fluid Nightclub) and Thursday March 24 I will be in Chicago performing @ Stardust (@Berlin Nightclub).  You can always check for new dates in the new calendar over to your right————————————>
