Giambrone & Co

I KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT - THEY WANT TO BE SHOCKED... AND GROOVED. AND THEY WANT HOUSE 
MUSIC.

Lawrence S. Williams Jr., better known as L.A. Williams, is an American DJ and producer from Chicago. Founder of the label Chisel, producer of over 27 releases, he has an idiosyncratic take to rhythms, sounds and grooves. 

As a huge fan, both impressed and beguiled, I wanted to shine a light on him. I still am often tripped up trying to blend his tracks while D'Jaying and fit them in a mix soooooooo I had to make this all L.A. mix ᏊˊꈊˋᏊ I spent the last few months collecting nearly all his releases on Discogs to use for the mix; a lot isn't available digitally, and it just felt right. 

I think the best way to hear his unique world and sound is via a tour of his various sides and styles, weaving and roiling, building and bubbling, jacking and smacking.

A busy and beloved presence in the NYC underground, Meilgaarden (@meilgaarden) arrives on Sorry Records with her debut single release -- a riotous acid house party rocker complete with a lean, DJ friendly acid remix from Chicago rave superstar Ariel Zetina (@arielzetina) (Local Action, Smartbar).

We met Andrea a few summers back when we both played Stream Informer's Good Room / Glen Falls weekender upstate. She runs two stellar club nights here in NYC - Sound Gymnastics and Mister Sister - and is constantly playing great parties all over NYC and beyond at places like Nowadays, Basement, Bossa Nova, Good Room, Public Records as well as yuyu in Mexico, Video Club in Bogotá, Body Language in Berlin, and venues in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Stockholm. Although this release is formally her debut single, Andrea is a seasoned DJ, appearing alongside everyone from Timmy Regisford to DJ Holographic, Ben Klock to AceMo.

Our eternal NYC DJ favorite / the father of our entire style Ron Like Hell has had Meilgaarden as a guest on both his The Space Between Spaces residency on The Lot Radio and at his Plexus party at Paragon in Brooklyn. She also recently played Sunday evening at Nowadays Nonstop sandwiched between Byron Yeates and Ron, and made an appearance at Wire Festival.

Released on July 25, 2024
Written and Produced by Meilgaarden
Mastered by Mike Millrain

Meilgaarden - Not Giving Up (Original Mix)

Tracklist: https://bit.ly/4ceLgWd

Another year, another fun-focused, long, car-ride-optimized, tracky, improvised addition to my yearly tradition of making a road trip mix for the drive to Honcho Campout. 

This year things are a bit different as I am actually playing the festival opening slot. Thus, I've conceptually linked this mix by pulling tracks from the same massive playlist I will be djing from at Campout as a connective prologue of sorts (or a proxy if you can't make it or are arriving later than Wednesday a.m.). Safe travels!

Hello and welcome to my kitchen. I am Tony Giambrone, a descendant of Italians on my father's side. Here is how I make red sauce. I wish I could say that it was a family recipe. Instead it borrows heavily from alt-comedian Eric Wareheim's Nonna Sauce, with some modifications and some key instructions on incorporating your sauce with the pasta. It is a great, easy, meatless meal to make for friends and family. I hope that it pairs well with the music I have selected, which starts with jazz to help those alliums simmer and lands with an italo-disco chef's kiss, traversing many records that I love to listen to while I cook in between. I hope you love it as much as I love you.

Ingredients:

1 box of your favorite pasta 
1/2 cup high quality olive oil
One large yellow onion
One head of garlic with nice big cloves
A couple of leaves of basil
2 large cans of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes 
Oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper
A wedge of fresh parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Gather 4 to 6 friends at whoever’s house has the most comfortable kitchen.
2. If you drink alcohol, make a round of Americanos:
Fill a short glass with ice. Add one part Campari, one part sweet Vermouth, and two parts soda water. Garnish with an orange peel. Give it a quick whirl around the rim of the glass before you twist it and drop it into the drink. Fragrance is half the battle.
3. Hit play on the mix that accompanies this recipe
4. Dice your onion and garlic (the whole damn head!)
5. Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven or large sauce pan over very low heat. Add the garlic and a few basil leaves. Let it simmer for about ten minutes to infuse the garlic and basil into the oil. Be careful not to let the garlic burn! Stir often. 
6. Remove the garlic and basil from the oil and set aside.
7. Turn the heat up to medium and add the onion. Simmer for another ten minutes until the onion is translucent and soft. 
8. Add back in your garlic and basil as well as a pinch of oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. 
9. Add your tomatoes. Turn up the heat until the sauce starts to boil, then lower it to a gentle simmer. Start to gently crush the tomatoes against the side of the pot. Careful! They have a tendency to squirt their juices at you. Never wear a white shirt while you’re cooking sauce!
10. If you have a parmesan rind lying around for some reason, don’t be afraid to toss that in there for some added flavour.
11. Let the sauce simmer for at least an hour, until the tomatoes have broken down and the whole thing takes on a nice chunky but smooth consistency. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. 
12. Cook your pasta in a big pot of salted water until it’s just below al dente.
13. Reserve a cup of pasta water. 
14. Drain the pasta and add it back into the pot you cooked it in over low heat. 
15. Add a generous amount of your sauce to the pot. Stir it heartily for about a minute, slowly adding a few splashes of pasta water, until the noodles are coated in the sauce. 
16. Turn off the heat. Drizzle in some more olive oil, and grate some parmesan into it. Continue to stir until everything is combined. 
Serve with fresh basil and more fresh grated parmesan to garnish.
17. Consider serving with a side arugula salad, roasted vegetables, chicken thighs, eggplant parmesan… the list goes on! Mangia!
