Allow us to paint the scene. A starboard glimpse reveals the shimmering Minneapolis skyline. A glittering dome stars light the firmament above. Synthesizers and disco music pulse and swell with the gentle motion of the Mississippi river. You wipe a bead of perspiration from your forehead as your cocktail reaches your lips. Who’s that beautiful creature stealing glances of you from across the deck? One more drink and you’ll make your way across the dance floor to find out.
It’s YACHT CLUB 2009!
Friends & Lovers-
It’s summer time and you know what that means! The yacht is booked and once again we are leaving from a convenient downtown Minneapolis dock. Bonus: We are planning an insane after party so that your sexy summer adventure can last into the wee hours of the morning. Don’t sleep, this will sell out quickly. (We sold nearly half of the tickets at our pre-sale party last Saturday).
DETAILS:
FRIDAY JULY 24th, 8:45PM—1AM
TICKETS: $35
Bon voyage drinks: 7PM, Northeast Yacht Club
Featuring Attitude City DJs Karl Frankowski & Jeff Dubois
Special Guest: Mike the 2600 King
With the shimmering Minneapolis skyline as our backdrop, our fourth-annual Yacht Club sets sail from Boom Island Park. Expect another inconceivable dance party of nautical proportions. Again this year we’ve secured the largest charter yacht in Minneapolis—a ninety-six foot pearl-white luxury vessel furnished with mahogany trim and discrete tinted windows. Fashion dress is strongly encouraged.
TICKETS:
Tickets go on sale today. The price is $35. There are two ways you can get your boarding pass.
Online: Email your full name and the number of tickets you would like to attitudecity@gmail.com. We will invoice you via paypal and once you complete the transaction your spot will be guaranteed. You will retrieve your tickets from our boat-side will-call the night of the cruise. There is an additional $1.50 fee per ticket for online transactions. This is by far the best way to ensure your spot on board.
In the flesh: Purchase tickets in person from one of our favorite local retailers. ROBOTLove and Cliché have limited supplies of tickets available now. And pick up some fly-ass gear while you’re there.
Check back here for updates as the date approaches.
See you portside!

Also - Hot off the virtual presses, here’s the newest edit/rmx from Editude City. This one gives a proper moogy backrub to a before-overlooked Herbie Hancock album cut from 1982. Lots of chops, cuts, extra drums, synth sprinkles and a frenchy breakdown are the key players this time round. Many thanks to the discopedic Joseph Colbourne for the introduction to this beauty.
Without further ado:
Herbie Hancock “Motormouth” (Funkbubble Edit) 4:23, 113BPM, 320kbps
Thanks, please enjoy and play and share.

For those of you not in the know, DJ Phizzy’s “On The Corner” broadcast hits you every week with the best in jazz, soul, funk, R&B, soulful Hip-Hop, and of course that classic 80’s Minneapolis sound! We’ve been long-time fans, tuning in for new inspiration and rare vinyl-gems to seek out. If you haven’t been listening, you should start.
We are super honored and excited to have this opportunity to beam out the Attitude City sound. Please tune in and check out our set. We’ll try not to get too nervous and mess it up.
