Four Tet & Jon Hopkins at Museum of National History!

Wow, they will be playing at American Museum of National History this Friday night, amazing! It's so timely that my friend Steven just told me about the music even happening at the National History museum the other day when we were dancing at another party at Brooklyn museum, and now I've just found that Four Tet and Jon Hopkins will be playing there on this Friday. It's awesome! and it's so cool just to imagine listening and dancing with their music under the huge whale or the dinasour !! (though I don't really know where the music will be...)

Here is a link to the event.

Update:
Wow, what a night.... somehow we thought it was going to be a lot of people at the entrance so we should have been there earlier but when we got there nobody, no entrance people, nothing. I thought it was canceled or something. But exactly at 9pm they opened the door. It was kind of wired because even though the party was presented by this people called Fader but all the people who selling/checking your tickets, coat check, etc are all Museum people.

But once entered inside it was so cool that we were literally walking into the National History Museum looking the Dinosaurs, space planets, etc. The dance floor was in the planetarium area and this was so perfect for the music like the ones from Four Tet, Jon Hopkins. It was super excited walking down to the dance floor looking at all the space and planets sculptures stuff.

Long story short, all the music was absolutely cool and this might be the best show I've ever been to in NYC in terms of the quality of music. The people at the party were many young people and seemed had no idea about the kind of music and didn't know what to do with it. So it's not like the time I use to go to underground parties to see cool music. But still the situation of being under those planets and spacey setup made the ambient so cool. And the very front area, right in front of the performers sets area had many music lovers and it was so fun to dance with them and with the fantastic music.

Four Tet was cool, but this time, Jon Hopkins totally rocked the floor and shaked ass so hard. He started very spacey and trippy sounds which totally went well with the planetarium setup. And he started slowly moving to minimal techno to progressive, and eventually progressive breaks. At the point we were all dancing and jumping and I just couldn't stop smiling and that was not only me...

Jon Hopkins will be playing at Pianos tonight, so I might want to check him out. He was that great... Thanks Jon!!!!

Here are some pictures and clips from the night....
