Review: Learning Secrets 6 Year Anniversary at Beauty Bar with CLASSIXX & WOOLFY 1/22/10

I was psyched when I first heard that Learning Secrets had booked Classixx and Woolfy for their six year anniversary party. It seems that Ian Orth & Jeremy are kindred spirits with me when it comes to all things disco, italo, & boogie.

Unfortunately while arriving fashionably late we missed the opening dj’s sets as well as Woolfy’s performance. Beauty Bar had the back parking lot fenced off where they had set up a tent and were having several bands play. We entered thru the rear gate and quickly rushed past the band playing outside(sorry guys). I was in a hurry and had been anxiously anticipating this night for quite a while and no one could stop me now. We could hear the enticing pulse of the bass and the sweet sounds of synth arpeggios in the air.

It was actually kind of hard to squeeze into the back door just past the men’s bathroom as the building was entirely rammed full of people. Wow, I hadn’t seen Beauty Bar this crazy since SXSW ’09. Classixx was already mid-set and fully rocking out dropping nu-disco bombs and classic deep house gems to a writhing throng of super sexy and up for it party people. The boys mixes were spot on and their programming was tight. Even though you almost needed a shoehorn to maneuver your way through the thick sweaty crowd everyone seemed quite gracious and in a pleasant yet festive mood.

We eventually worked our way onto the dance floor and wiggled for a few before heading to the bar to grab some drinks. It was quite a night, I ran into friends from all kinds of scenes, all the way from goths to ravers. Great job guys, happy anniversary, and cheers to another 6 years! -Adam Warped

Adam Warped of POSR’s “80′sDepressionSession” Mixtape

Having been recently hit hard by a heavy dose of serious heartache I retreated back to my musical youth. Back to a time when I was always depressed and angsty. You remember the time, those terribly depressing tween age years. During this part our lives most of us (well musicians and music lovers anyways) seem to find some solace in the music and it stays emotionally attached to us throughout the rest of our lives. Hence, I’m stoked to say that my “80′sDepressionSession” mixtape is finally in the bag! This mix features soul soothing tunes from Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cure, Billy Idol, Eurythmics, Berlin, A Flock of Seagulls, Culture Club, Paul Young, John Waite, & Lionel Richie. All of these songs helped me ease the pain back in the day and still never fail to cheer me right up. Honestly I must admit that some of them still even give me the chills. Anyways catharsis attained! Thanks for listening!
