Flosstradamus brought the dance party to Austin on a Tuesday recently and judging by the impressive collage of beats they bestowed upon us that evening at The Mohawk, Black & Tan best be prepared for a Friday night to remember. J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci) started spinning as Flosstradamus in Chicago in 2005, and over the years, have gained prominence with their scintillating mixes. The duo flawlessly blends electronica, hip hop, and rock ‘n’ roll, and their collaboration has yielded some killer remixes -- check out Flosstradamus’ interpretation of Matt & Kim’s “Yeah Yeah” on their MySpace page. Flosstradamus’ star has risen from the early days of spinning at house parties and Town Hall Pub in Chicago, to gigs at major festivals like SXSW and Coachella. The Cool Kids, Amanda Blank (Amanda Mallory), and Young’s older sibling Melisa Young (better known as Kid Sister) are all expected to play a role in Flosstradamus’ much anticipated full-length. Should be quite the pseudonym fest. King Louie and Doneski support this evening at Black & Tan.

Chicago’s Flosstradamus is comprised of Josh Young (a.k.a J2K) and Curt Cameruci (a.k.a Autobot), and the duo brings its exhilarating blend of beats to The Mohawk on the 22nd. Already veterans of many a festival such as Coachella, Pitchfork Music Festival, and yes, SXSW, Flosstradamus toured with Canadian retro-synth connoisseurs Chromeo in 2007. A healthy dose of hip hop and house music mashed up with rock and trance can be expected to power the dance party tonight.
