Complacent Nation event this weekend

I'll be down for hitting this up. Sounds like an adventure!

It's been a beautiful bitter winter and in this time of hibernation we've been building a dream that is long overdue. As you may have noticed, the venues relied upon in the past have all been woefully inadequate for our events, so we've been searching for a space to call our own. Our goal is to create a venue for intimate events, massive art and moments of intrigue that keep this city alive, livid and just a little dangerous.

On the dark edge of Williamsburg, we've found our new home.

This weekend you are invited to our opening, featuring a touch of bliss and a dose of bedlam within an ever-evolving landscape of art and media that will grow and deepen over the coming months. Saturday we rise from our cold long slumber to bring you a night of Simple Pleasures.

--------------------------------------------

Saturday, February Twenty Fourth
TheDanger presents:

Simple Pleasures
11pm to 11am
Twelve hours of intimate moments and wild spectacle.

We've built our space into seven Bedouin lounges and two areas of sound offering discreet experiences of bliss and infamy. Featuring music by:

Small Change : A musical addict, he's been collecting and DJing for over 15 years and has tens of thousands of records in every conceivable genre and time period. On this night of simple pleasures he will be digging deep in the crates for the most intoxicating funk infused hip-hop to soul to breaks.

Haj & Spiro [Freek Factory ] : In the late night Haj will be erupting the floor with thick layers of break-beats and deep progressions of glitch-hop to middle eastern ethnic dub while Spiro floats through the beat with his virtuoso guitar and bouzouki playing into bass-heavy real-time electronic jams. The result is an exquisite mix of dj lust and live music love.

Gadi Mizrahi [ Wolf + Lamb ] : The Lamb of Wolf + Lamb has been commuting between his Brooklyn lab and the beaches of Argentina creating new mixes and compositions in a constant search for the perfect dark techno sound. Expect an extended sunrise set of the tightest intelligent techno this side of Detroit.

Spinoza [Bunker/Beyond ] : The world renowned dj Spinoza is one of the driving forces for the New York City techno community. His subtly complex mixes inspire the after-hours crowd to abandon all hope of surrender as the dance floor continues to move through the next afternoon.

In the Plush Dome:
Autophage [ Imagenode ] : Brings melodic ambient techno to new delights with a sound developed on the alkali flats of Black Rock City and perfected in the dark and cozy spaces of underground Brooklyn.

Zemi17 & Dok [ Amoeba Technology ] : Expect timeless space sounds that defy weather conditions. Zemi17: live sampling of gongs, trash, appropriated nik-naks, bamboo things and the like with manipulations of insects and birds. Dok: analog synths, archival electronica, and unidentified objects that make places in your solar plexis smile.

In the Elixir Lounge:
Miss Elixir and Debonair offer libidinous tonics from a forgotten time. Tricks and treats will be traded for warm vanilla cognac voodoo love potion and tastes of the exotic and mysterious Agent Orange - a fruitful concoction built on liquors of ancient Eastern Europe.

In the Burlesque Lounge:
Big Apple Burlesque reminds us of a lost era when beauty was high on decadence and the stage was alive with equal parts sultry dream and performance perfection. Expect a little skin and a lot of attitude from Creme Brulee, Ruby Valentine, Honey Birdette, Snuffy Patterson and Broadway Brassy.

In the Fondue Den:
Master Chef Grrl Lola presents a fondue feast of intimate proportions with decadent fondue tastings of melted exotic cheese, chocolate and other delicacies served in a close setting by the beautiful chef herself. Here you taste the essence of simple pleasure.

Also, Night of Fire visuals from Jeannie Angel, Electronic Sheep from Spot, Fire Ritual by SamIam and the 2am Whip Cream Fiasco.

11pm to 11am
$15 if you bring your own can of whip-cream.
$20 otherwise.
*entrance includes free elixirs, fondue, whip cream and cherries.

21+ and you must mention : "The Fiasco" for entry.

All this is and more at the new : Danger Space.

Please Note: In order to keep this space alive and unscathed by the authorities we ask you to do these three simple things: 1) don't pee/drink/make noise on the street, 2) bring only the people you love and trust and
3) Use the password for entry, this prevents the uninvited from wandering in off the street. No password, no entry.

Please respect our new home. With your brilliance and cooperation we will be building this space into the dream venue that we all deserve. If you have any interested in participating in the development of the space, hit reply.
