Butter Team Weekend Beats Vol. 15

Woke up sweating in the American Garden Building on West 81st, peeled back cranberry sheets and an herbal mint facial mask under the horrifying realization that it's the haties and no one has yet caught M.I.A.'s devastating danga dengue fever. For twenty years, no one will feel Junior Senior's sweaty hand claps brush against their cheek(s), master blast OCDJ's frenetic 16-bit Bmore beats down St. Paul, or dance the footloose in a moonlit robot factory with Midnight Juggernauts.

Thankfully it was only a dream within a dream, because Good God man, if even one percent of our loyal Butter Team guests has not yet felt all of these things then we don't deserve sleep. Tomorrow (today), we've baked these beats together to offer a funky pollo, tomate y greens-filled calzone, so with your feet in the air and your head on the ground, try this chicken spinach. Yeah.

Midnight Juggernauts - Nine Lives
OCDJ - Trip Trip
Junior Senior - Simple Minds Do Simple Things
Mountaineers - Apart From This
M.I.A. - 20 Dollar
Daft Punk - Revolution 909

C-C-Can't Stop The Danish Bum Rush (Highline Ballroom)

Go Junior, go Senior, go naked sumo wrestler bonging stellas during the Gravy Train opener. Go poshy doo wop section. Go hot bassist GO.









































During the 5-10 seconds we could look away from the smokey vocalist (or smokalist, left) who froze like Andrew McCarthy's girlfriend 'tween songs, we noticed the dirty Danes did indeed rock heavy king koncrete. JD from Le Tigre jumped in to sing on Can I Get Get, video below. World history:
