August 27th, 2010 - Rainbow Dreams

We got to the Beauty Bar early, gazing at the strangely deserted underpass street. Shortly afterwards, the dj's trickled in: Los Bermanos, Mr. G and D. Clapp. The Beauty Bar was actually filled with random bits of sound equipment ... a subwoofer there, a prehistoric cd player here, a slab of sharp glass under the turntable which could automatically hari-kari any dj that got too close. Despite this the Rainbow Dreams team managed to fashion a fearsome frankenstein soundsystem out of all these different parts ... and then, they retrofitted D. Clapp's speakers, for good measure.
Los Bermanon, Marco Tulio Thrash (Live), Mr. G. & D.Clapp Live @ RD4 (8-7-10)
(almost 5 hours!)
August 5th, 2010 - Event
For this installment we have special guest Marco Tulio Thrash performing a very special LIVE set (a Rainbow Dreams first), as well as Mr. G droppin' the heat. We will also have new interactive visuals (in the form on an old-school overhead projector and dry-erase markers). Sweet! See you there.

RD3 Postmortum
As promised, here's the recording from the last RD. 4+ hours of questionably-mixed jams, with rapid DJ change-ups and the occasional fade-out to birthday wish combo. Still getting the hang of this recorder, so apologies for the occasional level shifts.
If you need a track ID or want to know which DJ played what, holla at us.
Next RD is on Friday, so stay tuned.

Come cool off at Rainbow Dreams #3 (it's beginning to look like a TRIPLE RAINBOW!)...Yeah! Residents Los Bermanos (Jeremy y Lara Berman), D.Clapp and special guest Mr. G. will be droppin' the proverbial heat. Expect the same great vibe and maybe even an exclusive track or two. Word!
ALSO, we splurged a bit last week and procured a new portable digital recorder (Zoom H4N FTW!), so we may actually make good on our long-overdue promise of actually recording the night...Stay tuned!
May 15th, 2010 - Event
If you were lucky enough to make it out to the inaugural Rainbow Dreams party, then you know what's up and most likely already have Friday, May 21st circled in lipstick on your Robots of the U.S.S.R. calendar. If not, read this write up.
This go-round we welcome guest DJ (and master of the Thing) Frantz, along with regulars D. Clapp and Lara Berman. ALSO, Factory Aire will be reuniting especially for this night. Rad!
Expect the good vibes.
