Altered Zones

International Tapes DJs Luke Carrell (aka Simian Gibbons), Coco Zoabi, and Mr. Intl himself set Santos on fire last week while DJing at Prince Rama. This Monday, Intl Tapes will be pressing play all night long between performances from John Maus, Gary War, and Holy Shit. In case you haven't heard, Monday's like the new Thursday, so there's no reason not to rage on this night of hypnagogic OGs.

If you haven't seen J Maus(cis) before, you simply must. I haven't seen anyone put more into a performance than this man; the dude goes crazy and practically has a breakdown on stage. Gary War have also be killing it recently too, their Police Water EP on Sacred Bones is top knotch and totally flew under the radar last year. It's the type of album that, years from now, could be looked back on as a cult classic. But don't be surprised if you see something really special from San Francisco's Holy Shit later this year, the Myspace® page alludes to being signed to True Panther (Teengirl Fantasy, Ty Segall, Outer Limits Recordings), Gloriette Records (Nite Jewel, Ariel Pink), and Japanese label Big Love (Salem, Puro Instinct, The Samps). Plus, for all of you fashion nuts out there, Holy Shit has the most amazing t-shirts.

But everyone knows that no party is a party without an afterparty, which will star DJ blog duo Weird Magic, who's kept it goin' all night long with Oneohtrix Point Never, Gatekeeper, and Greatest Hits in the past. It's gonna be intense. --Ric Leichtung, International Tapes
