He’ll be joining up with other Austinist favorites Prince Klassen and New Berlin in a combined effort to get you drunk enough to make out with whoever it is you’ve been scamming on for the past three months. You really should just go for it, for crying out loud. They soooo want you. From what we’ve......

But we’ll stress it a bit more, just for shits n’ giggles. That,......

We’re all about good DJs. Especially when they get together to wreck some shit. Prince Klassen (of Diggin’ Deep Quartet notoriety) and his MODERN KICKS are doing something a little different at Whisky Bar this Saturday night.

In addition to Ceeplus, New Berlin from Teleportdoor will......

DJ Starsign, fresh from his applauded performance at the wildly successful Beats of Basquiat music series in Houston, is back in Austin to get you off your ass and a drink in your hand.

Austinist loves Halloween. If there is one holiday that we hold holy, it is this one. Who can argue with costumes, candy, trickery and sexy versions of a wide variety of otherwise staid professions? You cannot. Do not even try. There will be a lot of parties this weekend, and even on Monday, on the actual H-day. We don't know where all of them are, but we'll list as many as we hear about......

The Austinist isn’t very, how you say, musically inclined. We’re better at listening to it than playing it. But we can keep a beat. I mean, we’re not totally hopeless. Which is why Clap!Clap! is our kind of band. There’s a clapping beat in every song! We don’t have to clap alone! This is sheer genius. You can shake your ass and clap along with Clap!Clap! tonight at club Surveillance at Karma Lounge. They’ll......

DJs New Berlin + Care Clusaki are sure to keep you clashing all night......
