Coco 66: 66 Greenpoint Ave Brooklyn, NY
For this month’s edition we will skip the snappy description and get right to the meat of things. Door open at 7:30, music begins promptly at 8pm.
Come early and celebrate Jessi’s 30th birthday with wonderful oysters during performances by NY favorites Morgan Packard, Ezekiel Honig and Calmer.
Following the relaxing and atmospheric stylings of the early evening’s sonic explorations we have Isomer Transition playing selections from unreleased and upcoming projects from the transelectronic vaults. Following Isomer we have plenty of electronic future music to go around. Jen Lusker, a NYC fixture will be gracing the decks, followed by the infamous Patrick Gallagher truly mashing it up, and finishing the night off, in honor of his friend Jessi’s 30th is the legendary Derek Plaslaiko.
For your visual stimulation Chika will be bringing her unique brand of VJing to the big screen, and Zac will be taking pictures, so there is no way you can say you were there if you weren’t.
All that and enough bass to shake light fixtures from the ceiling. Not even close to kidding, it happened last month. Bass, that’s right.
Here are the set times.

9:00 Ezekiel Honig
10:00 Calmer
10:40 Isomer Transition
12:00 Jen Lusker

For our inaugural 2009 event, this Valentine’s Day we have created a very special and romantic evening. To begin the evening we have decided to forgo music (just this once) and show a cinematic master piece by Fellini, called ‘Cabiria’ . During the show we will be serving dinner from a limited menu that will be available at the venue. The food is wonderful and from the venue’s restaurant, Coco66.
Following TFIB Cinema we have selected a wide range of music and visual atmospheres to ‘keep you in the mood’. Starting off we have Alexander Basset (recently transplanted from Chicago) beginning the evening out with some slow house and new disco. Following up Alex is NYC’s long time resident and TFIB resident Patrick Gallagher, representing NYC with some deep and minimal house and techno. After Patrick we have fellow TFIB resident, Isomer Transition, performing his first Live PA in NYC in over a year. With an inclusion on an upcoming Fabric mix CD, and DJ support from the likes of Claude VonStroke, Troy Pierce and Ryan Elliott, 2009 is off to a good start for Isomer. Following Isomer’s inaugural 2009 Live PA we have two of New York’s underground DJ scene’s rising stars to finish off the night, Kendra ‘You know you know me so I don’t need a last name, fool!’ (of Wax Doll’s fame), and the in-demand Jon Schmidt. Kendra has promised to bring the dance party with a DJ set of infamous french house, and Jon will anchor the night with some deep and heady minimal.
Every TFIB event needs to look proper, so we have hypnotized NYC visual artist CHiKA and got her to be our resident VJ! Her visual style is both minimal and futuristic, a perfect compliment for the music we offer.
Finally, to make sure that the night *sounds proper* we are bringing in some amazing sound reinforcement from our friend Nick down in Philly. He has been doing sound here in NYC lately at the Bunker, House and Home, with Jason Carter and has an amazing sound system. Part of the Future being Beautiful includes enough bass, so we are being sure to bring it.
Schedule and set times:
8 – 10 : Fellini’s ‘Cabiria’ w/Dinner available
10 – 11:15 : Alexander Basset – Chicago / New Disco
11:15 – 12:30 : Patrick Gallagher – Deep House and Minimal Techno.
12:30 – 1:30 : Isomer Transition – Live PA Heady and Deep Techno.
1:30 – 2:45 : Kendra – French House Party.
2:45 – Close : Jon Schmidt – Deep and Heady Minimal.
Next month we bring you live electronic performances by Ezekiel Honig, Morgan Packard, Calmer, Isomer Transition and DJ sets by Jen Lusker, Patrick Gallagher + others.
If you are looking for an alternative to the main stream music events in NYC, look no further than The Future Is Beautiful.
TFIB is a fully multiplexed event brought to you by The Gestalt Foundation.
