SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 23RD:
 BADGER
Tulsa's DJ Badger has been actively DJing for over twenty-five
years, earning the respect of party crowds and his peers with
his enduring old-school approach to performing. Badger
still prefers to mix using genuine vinyl on turntables (with
CDs when necessary), without a laptop. He has been featured
on the main stages of 80s Prom and
That 90s Party (twice each), as
well as at ResurXtion, SRO Remix,
The Great Gypsy Chillout, Retro
Without Shame, the Tulsa Vinyl Society's Vinyl
Brunch, and lots more. He is the organizer
of Tulsa's An Old School Techno Night, An Old
School House Night, and Pop in a Blender
events.
Some
may recognize Badger as a member of the infamous "Edge
of Insanity" alternative radio crew in the early 1990s.
He has also worked as a music journalist, with a regular remix
review column in the nationally-published Karaoke and
DJ USA magazine in the late 1990s. In addition,
he is the former manager/DJ of EKG Pro Mobile Music and the
current owner/DJ of Tulsa's Awesome Retro DJ Service.
Badger
is considered one of the foremost Depeche Mode collectors
in this part of the country. He is also an obsessive
collector of games for the Atari 2600 and a spectacular cook.

 SOKMONKEY
Our
special guest for the 23rd will be Oklahoma City's acclaimed
DJ Sokmonkey. Sokmonkey (who says he "still
can't kill the name" after 17 years of club DJing) loves
playing anything from 80s, goth industrial, IDM, and old school
hip-hop to witchhouse to jazz and everything in between.
His
experience includes six years as a weekly resident at the
WreckRoom, three years as a weekly resident
at the Sidecar, countless appearances at
Assimilation in both Tulsa and Oklahoma
City, 80s Prom, Disco
Bloodbath, and lots of assorted one-off parties.
Plus, he's a hell of a fun guy and we're never quite sure
what to expect from him. It's a MAJOR privilege to have
Sokmonkey here to kick off Nitro/Gen
with us!
FAVOURITE
ARTISTS INCLUDE:
Depeche Mode, Bonobo, a-Ha, the Cure, Alphaville,
Blue Sky Black Death, Boards of Canada, Adam + the Ants, Peter
Murphy.
