FADER TV: On The Road With Bacardi B-LIVE Episode 18 – Atlanta

Bacardi B-LIVE took it to the South for a good old fashioned dance party in Atlanta with Matt & Kim, MSTRKRFT, and A-Trak.

FADER TV: On The Road With Bacardi B-LIVE: Episode 17 – Charlotte

Bacardi B-LIVE hit Charlotte, North Carolina last week for an old-fashioned dance party and some chillin’ at the Holiday Inn with A-Trak.  Trizzy is no stranger to The FADER blog, but we thought it would be nice to get him out from behind his laptop and in front of our cameras.  The good news is that he loved our new website.  The even better news is that he played a track from the soon-to-be-released Kid Sister album for the first time for the people of Charlotte!  Stay tuned for more episodes from future dates along the way including interviews, live performances and who knows what else only on FADER TV.

FADER TV: On the Road With Bacardi B-LIVE, Episode 15 – Cleveland

Ever since our rabbit-eared TV conked out, we’ve been missing our regular doses of Cleveland via Drew Carey reruns. So it’s nice that Bacardi B-LIVE 2009 stopped there with Z-Trip and MSTRKRFT to remind us just how lovely a city it truly is. At least as far as we can tell from all the strobelights, cute girls and interesting fashion choices. Howard the Duck, also from Cleveland.

FADER TV: On the Road with Bacardi B-LIVE, Episode 14 – Louisville

Bacardi B-LIVE 2009 took a moment to pay homage to the King of Pop when the news broke last Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky. MSTRKRFT and Z-TRIP were spinning heavy on some commemorative MJ beats for the crowd. But DJ’ing isn’t all fun and games, as Z-TRIP will tell you in our latest episode of On the Road with Bacardi B-LIVE. It’s hard work, and quick decisions, and it gets sad when you’re playing an amazing song by someone who has just passed away. But don’t let it get you down!

FADER TV: On the Road with Bacardi B-LIVE, Episode 12 – Philly

As Bacardi B-Live 2009 rolled into Philly, it wisely added that city’s most storied DJ, Diplo, and his infamous UK Major Lazer partner, Switch, to the bill. Coincidentally, these dudes are also on the cover of The FADER’s brand new issue. We interviewed them issue and it is a great read. Such a great read that we decided to interview them again for FADER TV. Maybe we’ll interview them again next week. And the week after that. There is only one way to find out and that is to continue checking for these videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday right here. Nice suits, dudes!
