Nitzer Ebb @ Key Club w/ Shok tonight.

Nitzer Ebb helped pave the way for modern dance music. Their aggressive beats and chants have provided for quite an aerobic workout in the darkest of clubs to the radio mainstreams of the late 80s & 90s.

Their Industrial Complex tour, ignites this evening at the Key Club in Hollywood.

I am back in town after spinning on the east coast and will be DJing throughout tonight's event, giving away cds with a healthy serving of remixes and aural delights including the Lady Gaga Love Game remix which you can download right here: http://bit.ly/gagame

Hope to see you this evening!

Nitzer Ebb making new waves

Douglas McCarthy & Bon Harris have had more than 25 years experience of bringing the sonic assault to the dance floors of the world as Nitzer Ebb. They started as teens and as time progressed, the music matured.

To promote their forthcoming album, the boys will open for Depeche Mode's live tour during January & February!

Nitzer Ebb have their own show at The Key Club, here in Hollywood, on the 17th of November. You may just know someone else on the bill for that evening ;)

You can hear Douglas's voice on Kloq's single for Physical and
my project with TechnicalItch on http://www.myspace.com/techitchshok

VOTD: Tiga - Shoes & FixmerMcCarthy DJset tonight

1. VOTD: Tiga - Shoes
2. Douglas McCarthy & Terrence Fixmer DJ Set tonight @ SyncSpace

In the last two weeks, this song has become an anthem for anyone who has been to my home. You may recall Tiga for his "Sunglasses At Night" electro remake or his remake of "Hot In Here", which has an amazing video.
"Shoes" is by far his most infectious, even more than "Mind Dimension" and "Ocean Drive" two other hits of his. Enjoy the wacky 80s influenced video below.

In case you missed their performance on Friday @ Das Bunker or if you simply want to check their DJ set, Fixmer McCarthy will drop music tonight at SyncSpace, the art gallery.

I have a recording session at 6:30, so I am hoping to get there by 10:30 or so.

Tomorrow is also Depeche Mode, which excites me! Are you going?

Today is a day where allergies prosper!

I need a power drill to resolve sinus pressure.

Last night, I completed some projects and this morning paperwork and other business affairs. There was a notice sent Friday of some unclaimed funds from Universal as well as a new contract for me from a film company which is certainly good news!

How was YOUR wknd?
What did YOU do?



:::::::::::::::::::::::::
::::Rewinding::::
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sunday: No Farmer's Market, No Hike, but a cookout at Julian's in North Hollywood/ Burbank where Heidi and I had Swordfish! Dr. Kathy Fadigan met us before leaving for the airport. She is a great pal from Philadelphia, who had been visiting since Wednesday as she had a conference in Garden Grove. I came home and completed a remix which I will post at the bottom.

Saturday: Shared dinner at HOME, in Los Feliz, with Kathy Fadigan, Heidi, Yuval and Charles then hit DISKO NEKRO. Then back to Charles' abode for a bit with several folks, where I procured salmon, triscuits, hummus and a brownie for dessert.

Friday: El Compadre dinner with Kathy Fadigan, Nicole D., Jill Specter and her pal, Hadiss. You know I am not feeling well, when I only have a margarita and soup plus chips. Then Kathy, Nicole, Robert Murphy and I headed to my annual visit to Das Bunker, where we saw my friend, Douglas, perform. After, I went to Charles' and we at sushi and a few folks joined.

This brings me to the video of the day, "MINIVAN HIGHWAY". Being that I do not really have a tv, I had not really known much of Tim And Eric. I found this video last week and oddly enough, this past Friday, backstage at Das Bunker, I was speaking with a friend, JP, who is the lady counterpart to Bon Harris , Douglas's bandmate from Nitzer Ebb, and she mentioned a recent involvement with Tim And Eric. It was fate that this video would make it to VOTD

Think Kraftwerk meets 1981, complete with docksiders on foot!


Below is the remix I created last Summer (July) but have just uploaded for Zombie Girl's hit, "Creepy Crawler"

FixmerMcCarthy performs tonight at Das Bunker.


Douglas is the voice of Nitzer Ebb, who you may have heard since the 80s on such dance classics as "Let Your Body Learn", "Murderous" and the top ten dance hit, "Join In The Chant". While the band had other hits, including "Control" and "Lightning Man", it was "Fun To Be Had" (also a top ten hit) that actually landed them much more commercial exposure due to MTV's 120 minutes.

They toured the world with Depeche Mode, worked for years with Flood (who produced U2's The Joshua Tree and PWEI and nearly everyone who was amazing in that era), collaborated with William Orbit (who produced Beth Orton and Madonna) and they even were remixed by George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic

Apart from Nitzer Ebb, Douglas has also contributed vocals to Client, KLOQ, MOTOR and TechItch/Shok, a project I have with Mark Caro, who is celebrating his birthday today! You can listen to a promo clip of our song with Douglas I just uploaded, by clicking the image below which will take you to the myspace page.



Terrence Fixmer will be summoning the music tonight and he is one bad fellow! He wrote a fun dance track in 98, "Electrostatic", that made its way to the top within one year. Now, together with Douglas, they are storming the dance floors and festival grounds around the globe for maximum dance capacity!

Douglas's music as Nitzer Ebb, had a profound impact on me as a teen and even today. First of all, you could not go to a club in the late 80s or early 90s that played dance music and NOT see someone wearing the NE shirts, particualrly the Showtime era from 1990 forward, which was a huge seller during their tour with Depeche Mode.

He and I became friends and went on to work together on music. We have been on many journies... even the trials of vehicle malfunction in the hot desert when both of our mothers and my doggie, Miss Pooch-A-Rilla were stuck! (We did prevail!)
I am looking forward to supporting this man tonight and dance dance dancing!


Together, FixmerMcCarthy will take the stage at the local Los Angeles, DAS BUNKER this evening. Be prepared to see some hard dance beats and some familiar vocals. Often, they perform new takes on some Nitzer Ebb classics.

Get your rivet on this evening!

Open 10pm - 3am @ The Catch One 4067 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90019
