This show was just the first of many to come… the venue turned out to be pretty amazing and I hope you enjoyed yourself.
I hope you came early enough to last night’s School’s Out rager behind The Mill to see Big Digits perform. Those two dudes have got too much energy to go to waste. If you were, what you probably didn’t notice was that Mac and TD were without their usual DJ, Mark-e-Moon. Instead, while the MC’s did their thing, up-and-coming producer Coralcola was on their beats.
Coralcola, on top of being an incredibly chill guy, has got a really interesting vibe going on. His tracks are dancy but chill - beat and bass heavy with obvious house influences, but relaxed enough to forge an experience that is meditative and, at times, bordering on transcendental (if you’re into this kind of stuff, at least). It’s modern and electro, but it’s organic feel lies in its simplicity, with a great deal of attention being given to the beauty of the loop, something that most artists these days flaunt, but with no right to do so. Coralcola, however, certainly has this right, for his loops are interestingly layered such that even with their repetition comes rediscovery and reinvention with each loop. These loops don’t disappear into the song, but rather are pushed to the forefront of the track. Really interesting stuff.
This one’s called “Heath Ledger”, and it is certainly a trip, and a perfect example of the Coralcola style: the heavy beat, the balance between dancy and chill, the extra attention given to the loop. I especially like the vocal sequencing. At times, subtle, but in-your-face at others. A great find.
About Last Night…
That was nuts. Thanks to all who came out to support The Mill and had a crazy time.
There will certainly be pictures up later. If you have any photos of the concert that you’d like to submit to The Mill’s Flickr account, please e-mail them to themillthewebmaster@gmail.com. Peace.
TICKET INFO for tomorrow’s show
We have to close Tcommerce sales at NOON tomorrow. To make sure this doesn’t get in the way of your END-OF-THE-YEAR-DANCE-YOUR-FACE-OFF-RAGE-SESH, we are going to keep tickets at $10 all night. There will be re-entry, but keep in mind the event will be over by midnight… a little earlier than you might be used to.
**If you buy a ticket online there will be a WILL CALL table in front of the mill from 6pm-9pm**

Who The F@&! is Flosstradamus?
Are you asking yourself this very question? Don’t fret, for you’re not alone, and The Mill is here to help.
Flosstradamus just so happens to be probably the most critically acclaimed DJ duo in the country right now. Hailing from Chicago, these guys do it all: production, mashups, live editing, remixes, and, most importantly, they can throw a sick party. Most of their concerts, though, are live, improvised sets, so Flosstradamus included, we’ll all be hearing something completely original on April 29.
So here it is for your listening pleasure, a playlist featuring some of Flosstradamus’ most intriguing tracks. As always, check out the The Mill’s account at Playlist.com for more cool tunes.
Here is another jam from Cut Off Your Hands called Still Fond. Tickets are on sale now for the April 29th show! $10 tickets for 4 sick bands at an outdoor concert on the last day of classes? Sounds good to me. Contact any Mill member to pick yours up, and we’ll have a T-commerce link up here soon hopefully….in the meantime, enjoy the song and get pumped
So, everyone’s giving love to Flosstradamus and Cut Off Your Hands! lately, which is cool and all, but don’t forget that opening up for these two fantastic bands at our April 29 show are Big Digits!
These men are out of their minds in a fantastic way and have been known to come out on stage wearing the most ridiculous costumes and spitting even more ridiculous rhymes. Think The Beastie Boys meets Carrot Top meets the guy who composed the soundtrack for the original Legend of Zelda - yea, nuts.
This track, off of their album Smoke Machines in Lazervision, is called “Why Did You Reject My Steve Perry Fan Fiction”. If you can’t dance to this… wow.
Tickets for this awesome show go on sale tomorrow - get your hands on ‘em. Now.
