Fine Time: Party Preview
After doin' the damn thing for a decade, local indie-centric party
Indie Slash found itself ready for a change of pace. That party's bread and butter, the fertile grounds of mid-aughts indie-dance music (think Cut Copy, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and all that), eventually gave way to a focus on electronic music of all kinds, specifically vocal-driven, synth-heavy jams: think synthpop, acid house, and vintage Italo disco. And so the party was reborn, as
Fine Time, that name a nod to the classic
New Order jam, of course. To celebrate the rebirth, organizers are bringing in disco-centric Seattle DJ
Robot Romantic, whose DJ moniker pretty much perfectly encapsulates his sound — sultry, sexy disco jams with a gently cybernetic touch. Joining him are two of Fine Time's resident DJs, Rance and Brooks, who'll be bringing their own collections of easy, groovy jams for you to get down to like it's 2005 (or 1995, or 1985).
