Beats in Space, Tonight in Austin
If you're still choked up over Marisa dying or forgot to pre-order tickets to The Da Vinci Code, consider drunk-dancing your sorrows away tonight at the Velvet Spade, where NYC mas fuego DJ Tim Sweeney will be spinning with DJ Jeff of Houston's Boys+Girls Club. Sweeney's the wiz kid behind NYC radio show beats in space, the mix disc of DFA Record's Compilation #2, and the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He also has infuriatingly radiant hair, judging from the press shot on the left.
Oddly enough, Austin is the last stateside stop for Tim before he hops on a plane for a quick jaunt around the world, hitting up Athens, Malmo, Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro all in one week. Austinist plans on offering you our interview with him before Learning Secrets brings him back on June 8th for another go at Whisky Bar, if we're ever able to pin him down. For the time being, check out the podcast of Beats in Space below, where the guy spins a ton of shit we've probably never heard of:
