This world-renown DJ spins a mysterious, ethereal groove that could be called techno, house or breaks only in the most outside senses of such labels: it’s music with the spacey atmospheres of techno and electro, the deep depths of dub, the heat of disco, the passion of a string quartet and all the drama of straight-up funk. Q-Burns Abstract Message has spent years forging an elastic sound that has made him one of the most sought-after remixers in America and Europe. A native of the South, he is a close cousin of the Hardkiss and Wicked crews in the Bay Area. QBAM funks up Honolulu for the first time Saturday December 10th, only at electr01yfe.

From http://www.q-burnsabstractmessage.com/ :
Michael Donaldson AKA Q-Burns Abstract Message is one of the United States' most dynamic and eclectic DJs. His sets have been moving dancers around the globe for many years now and Q-Burns' fan base includes many die-hard devotees. His sound is that of a big party going down, unique and diverse house tracks glued together by pure funk.

Donaldson has been DJ-ing for over ten years. Inspired by funk pioneers such as Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, and Marvin Gaye, Q-Burns sought to move his crowds with current house sounds in the spirit of classic soul music. His DJing style developed during extended stays in San Francisco where he found himself influenced by the 'good time anything goes' attitude of his friends in the Hardkiss and Wicked crews. Now, Q-Burns DJ sets are tightly wound coils of funk and house, with Donaldson himself found moving and waving around as frantically as the dancers on the floor.

Q-Burns Abstract Message's DJing career has had many impressive highlights. Q-Burns has toured as a DJ in the US with artists as renowned as The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Gus Gus, Josh Wink, Meat Beat Manifesto, and Lo-Fidelity All Stars. He has also toured internationally in such countries as England, Germany, Iceland, Chile, Australia, and Russia. Q-Burns Abstract Message was actually the first US DJ to ever play in Siberia.

DEEJAY YAK (AC045/L5 Recordings, Yokohama, Japan)

ELECTRO SET

DJ/Producer Hideya Sato aka Deejay Yak is a renaissance DJ who has toured the world in search of rare and uncommon vinyl, from San Francisco to Kingston, London to Berlin, since starting out on soul, funk, jazz, reggae and hip hop in 1988. On Tour with Dub Squad in Europe in the late 90s, he shared decks and rubbed elbows with the likes of DJ Food, Mixmaster Morris (Ninja Tune), Photek, Dego (4Hero), Jonah Sharp, Global Communications and Patrick Forge (Da Lata), among other turntable luminaries and innovators. He also produced a deep house track under the moniker MM21 for his L5 Recordings’ ‘Suburban Soul’ EP in 2002, and is currently working on a new project, AC045.

DJ K-ING of Oahu's Freeform Sound Collective opens.

OK, so I lied. We're not a band. We're a collective of DJs who host Indigo in Honolulu's Chinatown every Saturday night. The Opium Den is for electro, breakbeats, techno, punk disco and killer dance classics. The Green Room is for downtempo head-nodding abstractions, hip hop, funk and soul from new to old to neo. There is a special drink for the $4.50 drink special: it's called Red Bull & Vodka. The Red Bull is imported from Vienna, Austria and the Skyy vodka is imported all the way from San Francisco, California.

See the show calendar for upcoming guest DJs and performers from Honolulu and around the world. More dates and special guests will be added soon. Here are some links to mixes by Toki & Monkey (mahalo Ms. Angel at KTUH). They give you a good idea of what we play at electr01yfe...
