Another Mini-Mix treat to keep your weekend moving!
DJ Starr here! I've got new toys at home that allow me to record mixes. And while i'm dealing with a bit of snafu on getting the programs to cue correctly (I literally have no way to cue a track right now, working on fixing that), i'm still having fun making little mixes to share and I wont beat myself up too much over the fact that the seams could be a bit tighter. Keep listening because eventually, things will all be figured out and you'll have some bitchin' seamless mixes to rock out to! In the meantime, enjoy this!

1. Crystal Castles - Crimewave (Midnight Conspiracy Remix)

Local Spotlight: Black Balloon
If you like the DIY, grittier electro-punk-indie sound, you absolutely HAVE To check out Black Balloon!!!

It's like a burrito of music that "people in black or indie fashions" like to listen to. One can never really tell where all this sub-genre nonsense is going!
Listeners have said things like "They have a pretty unique sound, you can tell they're gonna make it big!" and "I love the energy they have [on stage]! They really connect with the crowd!"
Like them on Facebook!
Free MP3's and other info at www.blackballoon.net

Monarchy performing at Folsom Street Fair 2011
Monarchy are the latest installment in the history of mystery in electropop. Very little is known about them apart from the fact that there are two band members and that the sound they make is amazing: swirling, symphonic, electronic bliss-disco with coolly emotional vocals. These sounds could have come from two or three times as many musicians. They are rumored to be French Canadian and English, and they live and work in London. Monarchy are quickly rising on the electro/indie charts, with new singles "I Won't Let Go", "Love Get Out Of My Way", and "The Phoenix Alive" from their debut album AROUND THE SUN. They will be performing at the 12th Street Stage at 5:10 PM on Sunday September 25th! Get out there and support these guys.

Their last release, Framebreaker is nothing short of it's title. The album itself breaks through many genres at once making the album accessible to all ears. Whether you're searching for that indie sound, pop or emotion that you can relate to through over the top, powerful female vocals, it deserves a good listen. You'll likely find it has a place in your music collection. What does this mean for our lovely dance club kids? Bitchin' remixes! Return to Mono is soon to release a remix album and we'll be putting them on heavy rotation at the decks!
Check out the remixes HERE!!! and snag some free MP3s while you can! They'll be up for a short while in anticipation of the remix album.

It's All About The Good Natured!
UK Electropop sensation The Good Natured are quickly sweeping the UK and US with new fresh Electro beats. The Good Natured's debut EP "Warriors" was self-released on July 7, 2008. The EP received a ton of press coverage, especially for the lyrics. Their music is often being compared to La Roux, Ladytron, Lily Allen, and Kate Nash. Lead singer Sarah McIntosh herself describes their music as "dark electronic pop" as well as "electronic pop with heart",and feels especially influenced by bands such as Tears for Fears, Japan and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Despite the mostly positive critics, no label seemed to be willing to sign The Good Natured. Thus their second EP "Your Body Is a Machine" was self-released as well. It was not until March 2011 that the band was signed by the British label Parlophone, under which they have released their EP "Skeleton" in June 2011 with singles "Skeleton" and "Wolves". Take a listen below:
The Good Natured-Skeleton

Music, is what we do!
Hey Kids! (and by kids, we mean those that are over 21 and totally know how to PARTY with us!)
We've got tons of new music lined up for the next Club Drama coming up on Saturday, September 3rd! So here's a sneak peak of what to expect on the dancefloor! Of course, you'll still hear all the electro/indie and remixes of the music you love to shake it to along with a few guilty pleasures ;) We recommend practicing your new moves to these new beats at full blast to be ready in time for the Oakland Pride Pre-Party with Club Drama!
Up and Coming I'm not a Band is starting to shred electro dance floors across the nation with their new hit What We Do! .... my partner stumbled across the Tits & Clits remix by total accident and we were then pumping it through the sound system from that day on!
I'm not a Band - What We Do (Tits & Clits Remix)
Next up, the ever adorable Marina & The Diamonds has finally released long anticipated new material. It's a little more high energy than what we're used to, but I love when bands explore new sounds while keeping their format somewhat intact. I am patiently awaiting remixes on this one, but I know that this jam will definitely set some shoes on fire as you cut the proverbial rug on the dance floor.
And just so you're aware, the annual Oakland Pride is coming up Sunday, September 4th! And if our Pre-Pride party isn't enough for you, then join Club Drama DJs Starr, Lifeline, Candy (Hard Candy and Club Drama residents) along with guests C-Lektra (Vancouver BC/Trigger Bar SF) and Orko on Sunday night from 6pm-2am for 8 hours of dance floor mayhem with an 8pm intermission show of LIVE Drag, Burlesque, Belly dance and MORE! RSVP Here!!!
We'll see you soon!

Change is in the air!
Club Drama will be looking into a venue change, so our LAST Club Drama at The Uptown will be this coming Thursday, July 14th.
The Uptown is by far one of the greatest venues to work with in the East Bay! They have a superior sound system, generous dance floor, and who doesn't love that back patio? The owner, Larry, is very easy going and has been genuinely great to us! And we appreciate the entire staff of The Uptown for allowing us to get our feet off the ground and bring amazing music to The East Bay!
Do not fear Club Drama fans! We have a new venue under works, and the most exciting part is?????? *drumroll please..* It's likely we'll get a weekend night, so all the friends that have a hard time making it out on our regular Thursdays will be able to attend, and we'll be able to offer Club Drama to more of a variety of folks who wanna rock out on the weekends!
Thanks to all the folks that have made Club Drama possible! We can't wait for what's in store for you!

Club Drama Celebrates French Electro/Indie Sensation YELLE
Yelle is a French Electropop/Indie band founded by lead singer and namesake, Yelle (born Julie Budet on January 17, 1983) and GrandMarnier (Jean-François Perrier). A third member, Tepr (Tanguy Destable),joined the band before the recording of their debut album. The band came to prominence when they posted an early version of the song "Je veux te voir" on Myspace in September 2005, which later reached the top five in France. Their debut album, Pop Up was released in 2007.
Budet met and became good friends with producer GrandMarnier in 2000, and in 2005 they began making music together when both wanted to start a French electropop band. The name of the band, Yelle, began as an acronym of the phrase "You Enjoy Life", "YEL", but was later feminised to "Yelle" because a Belgian band was already using the former.Yelle rose to fame on MySpace when they posted a song titled "Short Dick Cuizi", which later became "Je Veux Te Voir", with their account in late 2005. It received a positive response and soon attracted the attention of record label, Source.
Yelle then began working on and recording their debut album, Pop Up in 2006,producer Tepr had been roped into the band after meeting GrandMarnier while working as a journalist.Yelle was featured on Fatal Bazooka's French number one song "Parle à ma main" in 2007.The band has enjoyed success outside of France despite making songs exclusively in French and have toured overseas in non-French speaking countries.They embarked on a full North American tour and also performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008. After being asked by Katy Perry, they remixed her song "Hot n Cold". They later participated in the second installment of Itunes Foreign Exchange, for which they recorded a French version of Robyn's "Who's That Girl?".
Yelle's second album, Safari Disco Club, was released on March 14, 2011. The title track was released for free on their website in January 2011. They supported Katy Perry on her 2011 California Dreams Tour in th UK.
Join us at Club Drama on July 14th to celebrate the sounds of YELLE, with Resident DJ's Lifeline, Starr, and Daniel Skellington! This will be our LAST night at The Uptown. We are in talks with a couple different venues to move our night to a weekend. More to follow. Come out on July 14th to help us thank the staff from The Uptown for graciously hosting our party. See you on the dancefloor.

Luciana's still hot!
For those hiding under a rock, Luciana is BLOWING THE EFF UP! She's quickly climbing the charts and beating other artists, including Lady GaGa!
In recent years, you may know her from her collaboration hits with Bodyrox - "Yeah Yeah" and not so long ago, smash hit "I Like That!" with Richard Vision & Static Revenger.
Luciana is not only a recent pioneer in the electronic music industry, but also a big advocate for Gay Rights, and that is worth a million heartfelt thanks and gratitude from her fans that strive every day for equality!
Club Drama's very own DJ, Starr went up to Sacramento, CA for their annual Gay Pride festival where they anticipated the ever-so-saucy Luciana to perform! The weather kept a lot of non-waterproof folks in and even though the crowd at the festival was small, Luciana performed on the main stage with the same amount of energy and enthusiasm you would find her giving at any other show! For those that were not able to catch her at Badlands the night prior, this was such an amazing treat! DJ Starr along with her Girlfriend and friends were right up front, singing, dancing and otherwise rocking-the-eff-out! Starr was even handed the mic for a small vocal cameo during her hit with Bodyrox, Yeah Yeah ;) We'll be posting the video footage soon!
DJ Starr with Luciana!
Prior to her performance, we had a chance to meet and greet with Luciana! She was full of life, charm and kisses for everyones cheeks! It's always heart warming to meet one of your favorite artists and know that they're truly nice people!
Her new hit, "I'm Still Hot" is quickly becoming the hottest jam of the year! Expect to hear her perform it LIVE at this years SF Pride festival and if you don't catch her there, well, you KNOW Starr will be dropping her hits at the Indie Oasis Stage all day long at the Pride festival on Sunday along with Drama's resident DJ, Lifeline! As well as Six and Candy (Code, Get Lucky), Medic (DOPE) and Blondie K and sub0ctave (Fringe, Electric Feel)

Club Drama pays tribute to LCD Soundsystem in June
Last month at Club Drama was super fun. Thank You all for coming out to dance with us. The energy inside Uptown was electric!
We are proud to announce that we will be paying tribute to dance/punk/electro pioneer, LCD Soundsystem in June.
RSVP on Facebook at
LCD Soundsystem is the musical side project of DJ/Producer James Murphy, co-founder of New York City dance/punk label DFA Records. Formed in 2001, the music of LCD Soundsystem can also be described as a mix of alternative dance and post punk, along with elements of disco and funk.
LCD Soundsystem gained attention with its first single, “Losing My Edge”. The song, which sounds like the boastings of a music geek put to an electronic beat, received acclaim in 2002. Murphy released a double album simply titled LCD Soundsystem in February of 2005 to critical acclaim. The first disk of the album contains new music and the second contains re-releases of songs previously released as singles. The opening track “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” entered the uk Top 40 in March 2005.
On December 8, 2005 the group received nominations for two Grammys in the electronica category for their self-titled album and in the Dance category for “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House”. This album was also chosen as one of Amazon.com’s Top 100 Editor’s Picks of 2005.
In March 2007, the band released their second album entitled Sound Of Silver. The album has spawned four singles including “North American Scum”, “All My Friends”, “Someone Great” and “Time to Get Away”. Sound Of Silver saw a move towards a more traditional song writing approach whilst still maintaining the production values of their eponymous debut effort. This has resulted in the album appearing in numerous critic’s end of year lists and another Grammy nomination for best electronic/dance album of 2007.
On February 5th, 2011, James Murphy announced the band’s breakup, citing an interest in pursuing other projects as a record producer. The same day, the band’s final performance was announced - their biggest headlining show ever at New York’s Madison Square Garden on April 2nd of 2011. In the show’s controversial onsale, the arena sold out in seconds due to scalpers allegedly buying tickets in mass amounts, and denying the opportunity for most fans to buy tickets. After public outrage, the band announced four more shows at New York’s Terminal 5, to take place the week before the final show at MSG.
Come out to Club Drama on June 30th to give a final farewell to LCD Soundsystem. We look forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces on the dancefloor!

Club Drama is heating up!
We had so much fun last month celebrating the sweet sounds of ROBYN and are very excited to announce our artist spotlight for Club Drama for May.
Our artist spotlight for May are Electro pioneers LADYTRON.
Four identical figures standing on stage, blasting out edgy electro pop anthems with edginess and flair. This is LADYTRON. A quartet composed of Helen Marnie, Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, and Mira Aroyo. They've taken the UK and US by storm, and toured extensively. They released their fifth studio album "GRAVITY THE SEDUCER" in September 2010, with their newest single ACE OF HZ and their first Greatest Hits compilation LADYTRON BEST OF 00-10 in January 2011.
Ladytron formed by chance through meetings in bars and parks. In mid-1999 they set out in an unusual way, ignoring London to play their debut show in a Paris bowling alley, and releasing their debut single "He Took Her To A Movie". Following their debut show in Paris, Ladytron toured all over Europe, playing for frenzied electro kids in Berlin, Barcelona, and Rome. They slowly built a reputation as one of the most interesting new electronic acts around. Their skewed approach to crafting pop music has rewarded the group with international success and acclaim.
Their summer 2000 PLAYGIRL single went even further. pre-empting the Electroclash movement and drawing attention from the likes of FELIX DA HOUSECAT and TIESTO.
As diverse as their nationalities and backgrounds may be, the musical influences of LADYTRON are possibly even more so. A listen to tracks like PLAYGIRL from their 2001 release "604" and COMMODORE ROCK from their 2000 self titled EP calls to mind what the Electro movement is all about!
Come dance with us on May 26th and help us celebrate the music of one of the Electro movement pioneers, LADYTRON.

Please join us next month! RSVP on facebook!
Our artist spotlight for the month of April is ROBYN.
After the huge success of 2007’s EPONOYMOUS album (platinum in the UK), which produced the international smash single ‘With Every Heartbeat’ & the top 10 hit ‘Be Mine’, Robyn is back with her killer combination of natural pop nous and cool sassiness offering up an exciting mix of cool electronica, heartfelt pop songs and tracks that have all the hallmarks of becoming classic club hits.
Due to an abundance of great songs bursting to get out, 2010 and 2011 has seen her release not one, not two, but three albums. The first, Body Talk PT 1, was released on June 14th and the single "Dancing On my Own" was released the same day.
Robyn explains: "I got all these great songs, so why not? It’s been 5 years since "Robyn" and I didn’t want to wait with a release until they are all recorded, so I decided to start putting them out right away. I also can’t wait to play live again and this enables me to tour and record at the same time. I just want to keep making music."
Robyn has worked with the hottest producers around to make these ambitious plans a reality. Diplo, Royksopp, Kleerup and Klas Ahlund (amongst others) are all on board.
Come out to Club Drama at The Uptown in Oakland on April 28th and help us celebrate the music of Robyn! We hope to see your beautiful faces on the dancefloor...
