...competent hash in a sexy South American slouch and suddenly exploded into a cheer of whistles, bongos and absolute samba soccer hooliganery. And then the night just went all over the place from there. In the absence of DJ-as-God pretense, there was just hair-on-your-chest music to make you dance. It was feel-good, dressed-down, non-glam house music, hot and hasty in your joints like you haven't heard in a long time. The anchors of the show were definitely the celebrity pieces from Remedy (Astralwerks) like the flamer "Rendez-Vu" (which made vocodering...
...Brixton that drove London's youth nuts. The twitching and the glittering alike frothed in the mouth to get in, and once inside, they foamed in the veins to get it on. Last March, Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe dropped unsigned out of the continental sky into the Winter Music Conference in Miami, tearing up the Cameo with their irrepressible funk-house meltdown and rode their fat beat steed straight into a hot and hungry bidding war over what know-it's everywhere are dubbing the hottest thing to happen to house music this decade.

Many of dance music's big names played here while they were still perched before the edge of Rolling Stone stardom. Good shows, unfortunately, aren't always listed. Look for flyers (try Boston Beat Imports on Newbury St.), or call. Abercrombie and Fitch types...
...There are so many techno/house/blahblah boxes on Lansdowne that Bill's Bar stands out most as a live music venue. The stage takes, well, centerstage in a room plastered with rock n' roll obituaries. The new big thing here is Monsta Mondays, featuring local and touring old school rock bands. This continues the tradition started in the now defunct Mama Kin. Sundays feature reggae and Underground Thursdays dish up anything alternative. Everybody's a friend here. Talk to any of the staff, all of whom belong to one band or another, to find out what's going...
