This week at SOUNDLIB, we’ve got special guest LILY VANILLI, the rising star of the venerable NANA CHILL DJ crew. LILY has a superb ear for music and a unique and refreshing style that pulls as much from her Houston roots as from her current digs in the cosmopolitan whirlwind that is SoHo. She’s also a talented writer with a passion for finding the city’s best burgers, a quest she’s chronicling on her awesome Beauty and the Burger blog:

DJ LIL TIGER will also be in the house spinning soul (new and old), funk, Hip-Hop, afrobeat, reggae and much more. As always, the party is FREE. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. Hope to see you there. …

JAZE-ART REMOTE makes his much-anticipated return to SOUNDLIB this week. We had him spin with us back in February and he ran a clinic on some classic soulful house, hip-hop, funk, soul and disco. He’ll be bringing the same deep selections of diverse soul this week, and we can’t wait. DJ LIL TIGER will also hold it down with an eclectic mix of all things soulful. As always, the party is FREE all night. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. Hope to see you there. …

After the success of the first SLF/SoundLib Edition of the Music Without Borders party at Kush, Kunal and Seif decided we should make it a monthly. Thus, I’ll be spinning there tonight to get the ball rolling on our new monthly collabo, and I’m pretty damn geeked about it.

The party starts early at 7pm and it’s FREE the whole night. Musically, we’ll take you on ride across the globe with an eclectic mix of international sounds, while Alberto holds court on some serious domino action.

Of coures, we’ll have drink specials ($3 beers, $5 jack) lined up, along with some bomb tacos and lamb sliders and other eats. Plus, there will be hookahs ($10 until 10) to get your tasty buzz on.

It’s gonna be a laid back vibe with great music and hella cool folks, so stop by after work and give us a shout.

This week at SOUNDLIB we’re bringing back DJ KUNAL MERCHANT from MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS. He was originally scheduled to spin with us back in May, but he coudn’t make it then due to illness. It took us a little longer than we wanted, but we’ve finally got him back on the bill. KUNAL‘s influences range from Depeche Mode to Outkast to Massive Attack to Classical Indian music, so he’ll definitely have some interesting tunes to play for y’all this week at SOUNDLIB.

DJ LIL TIGER will also be on hand delivering his trademark selections of soul (new and old), Hip-Hop, afrobeat, house, reggae and much more.

As always, it’s FREE all night. We start and end EARLY (9pm-1am), so we won’t keep you out too late. …

/// WKCR’s Eastern Standard Time and the Sound Liberation Front team up to present CONEY ISLAND REGGAE SOUND SYSTEM BEACH PARTY II on the Coney Island Boardwalk. The all-day event (from noon to sundown) is free and will feature live DJs and special guest artists combining to bring the enormously influential culture of Jamaican sound systems to the Brooklyn beach.

Among the featured DJs for the event are DJ CARTER VAN PELT, host of Eastern Standard Time; HAHN SOLO, lead guitarist and dub engineer for Dub Is A Weapon; and VAUGHN ALL STAR, a selector for King Crown International sound system.

Sound systems took over from orchestras in Jamaican dancehalls in the 1950s and became part of nearly every development in Jamaican music: Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Dancehall and so on. Because sound system dances were one of the few things poor people on the island could call their own, the parties became central to downtown life and the local economy. Competition for the best equipment and the most exciting music was fierce and became the driving force behind the evolution of the island’s music industry as sound system owners turned to record producing.

For fifty years, the natural medium for Jamaican modern music has been the sound system dances. The music was produced and designed specifically for sound systems to play, and for the enjoyment of the people attending the dances. Wherever Jamaicans have traveled, from London to New York and beyond, sound systems have been part of their luggage. The legacy of sound system culture can be found in many forms of popular music around the world.

Come join us and enjoy the sound system culture, the boardwalk, the beach, the pier, and the perfect soundtrack to the season. ///

Here’s a special treat for you: Our Music Without Borders fam recently started a FREE weekly party on Tuesdays at Kush Lounge, and this week, they’ve invited us to put a special SoundLib touch to the night. I’ll be doing a guest set spinning some international/world type joints and Bert will be hosting.

Resident DJs Kunal Merchant and Seif Al-Din are the masterminds behind this party, and they’ll be throwing down some dope music. These dudes know how to put together a quality evening. They got drink specials lined up, tacos and lamb sliders for the grubbing, and dominoes games will be in full effect for folks who know what’s really real.

In Kunal‘s words:

We’re hoping to build a really laid back vibe, treating it almost like a second home. Kush’s manager, Steve (you should meet this guy!), has agreed to create some great deals for us, offering patrons $3 beers, $5 jack and $10 hookahs til 10pm every night. The food is very unique and delicious. Drinks are hand crafted, and I encourage you to challenge the bartenders to cook up something new every night!

I’m pretty geeked about this night. Stop through, drink some drank, eat some good grub and play some bones while getting down to some international grooves.
