Live: DJ/Rupture, Maluca, Matt Shadetek & Jahdan Blakkamoore, Sonido Martines at One Step Beyond
- story THE FADER
Though lacking a cameo from Jason Voorhees, every DJ killed it (wokka wokka) at our One Step Beyond series this past Friday the 13th. FADER friends DJ/Rupture, Matt Shadetek and Jahdan Blakkamoore, Maluca and Sonido Martines took turns hijacking the makeshift dance floor at the planetarium. Whether you were way up front or sneaking into the Mammals of North America exhibit, Sonido Martines’ twisted cumbia was inescapable and Maluca’s insane party starting helped more than a few audience members get real loose. By the time Shadetek and Blakkamoore took the stage, half the audience were trading dance moves under space lights. The other half wandered the museum’s halls, indulging their grade school selves by finding out who weighed 69 pounds on Mars as DJ/Rupture closed out the night.

Not sure about anyone else, but we’re going to be spending this Friday the 13th (the rarest of days) at the Museum of Natural History for the next installment of One Step Beyond. This time featuring FADER mega favorites DJ/Rupture, Matt Shadetek and Jahdan Blakkamoore, Maluca and Sonido Martines. Insert appropriate joke about dancing near the moon here, and then go buy your tickets before they sell out right here.

Live: Amanda Blank and Devlin & Darko at One Step Beyond

On Friday, our third season of One Step Beyond resumed its reign of The Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History (whew). Everyone careened underneath intergalactic light projections when they weren’t waiting for their turns on the Find-Your-Weight-on-Saturn scale. Devlin and Darko kicked out all-things-danceable from T.I. and Crime Mob to George Michael and Vanity 6. Party-goers made their way in droves up to the Hayden Planetarium for screenings of “Journey to the Stars”—a scene reminiscent of a school field trip, only this time with booze. Amanda Blank closed out the evening, slinging her salacious set of rhymes with some help from her bosom buddy, Spank Rock. The room may have been dark, but Blank’s outfit, made up of just enough strategically-place fabric to not get arrested, lit up the room and kept all eyes on stage. The set ended with Spank’s “Bump” and a shout out to a magazine that Blank called “the best ever.” We’re still blushing.

Live: Holy Ghost! and Moby at One Step Beyond
- story THE FADER
One Step Beyond is an anomaly. The party at the Natural History Museum on 79th Street, just beside Central Park, is physically so far removed from where New York City dancing usually takes place that it may as well be outer space. But then, proving its otherness, you walk to the dance floor through a giant, glowing orb. This is an appropriate place for Moby, who headlined the evening with laser techno. People didn’t request songs from him, just requests to take their picture with him. Which he kindly did over and over. Preceding him were Holy Ghost!, DFA darlings. Or at least half of Holy Ghost!—Alex was absent, poor Nick holding it down alone. He let things ride easy—a little Chic, a little Class Action made for lot of light stepping across the tethered galaxy.

Moby is everywhere again. Not like every song on his album is showing up in commercials or anything, but he’s out there DJing and making tea and hanging out with DFA dudes and if you’re doing yoga and you turn around he’s probably right behind you looking really relaxed. It seemed only natural to have him (along with Holy Ghost!, Martin Moscrop and the Activaire DJs) DJ the next installment of our One Step Beyond series at the Museum of Natural History. Get your tickets here before they sell out.

Live: Kode 9 and Flying Lotus at One Step Beyond
- story THE FADER
We make a lot of jokes about dubstep (mainly in the context of beards, standing around and that weird crossover between jam band dances and dubstep dances that we see people doing) but it’s more like a gentle ribbing. We (sometimes) love you dubstep! Friday night’s edition of One Step Beyond at the American Museum of Natural History cemented our love a little more, because Kode 9 and Flying Lotus were playing a selection of mostly unfamiliar but entirely awesome songs (although we did catch bits from FADER-favorite and F61 Gen Fer Joker in the mix). Mainly though, the night seemed like a large scale crossover of a genre that hasn’t really hit the general public yet. Even though people weren’t really sure what to do—dance or…not dance—it didn’t matter. Apparently the bass speaks for itself, no matter what you choose to do with it. Also, shout out to Haley Joel Osment (or someone who looked exactly like him) for coming through and looking pretty much the same, only slightly older.
