Come on down and celebrate the last Skylab party with us this Saturday at Sputnik Bar in Clinton Hill.

Once again, this Saturday DJs Adam Smith and Dekker are taking over Sputnik Bar. If you liked Adam's recent mix, then don't miss this night, it could be a while before you see him out again. Plus, this will be Dekker's birthday. See you there.

Update: Adam can't make it Saturday night, Mike McGill is taking his place. If you liked the last podcast, be sure not to miss this night.

What better way to celebrate the return of our ABL:Radio podcast than to check out all the podcast related DJs and performances in Brooklyn this weekend?

First off,  we have live performances by Brooklyn's own Devin Dirt and Oliver Dodd, a comrade of ours from bygone times in Atlanta.

Black Van emerges from a summer hiatus and infiltrates Monkey Town this Saturday, October 13th to present its latest crusher 'Watch The Feedback' from Nashville-based Oliver Dodd, due out November 27th. Five tracks of electro house laced with 90's rave aurally delivered iron fist velvet glove and guaranteed to do damage. Oliver continues to move crowds and rock dance floors with heavy-hitter DJs Tommie Sunshine, MSTRKRFT, and Justice all currently playing his recent tracks.

Joining Dodd is Black Van label owner Devin Dirt who brings us his first New York performance since being back from a summer long West Coast tour. He'll be previewing tracks from the highly anticipated "Violent Tendencies" EP due out  next year.  Hosting the night is the illustrious Machine Punk resident Supervixen.

Here's your chance to be a part of the video for "Watch The Feedback" which will be filmed throughout the night beginning at midnight.  If you've never been to a Black Van/Machine Punk party, you're in for something gritty.

This week's podcast will feature a recent live performance by Devin Dirt.

Next on the agenda, our weekly Skylab party over at Sputnik will be hosted by founder Dekker and legendary house DJ and producer, Ktel Jenkins.

Sputnik bar has recently undergone a major face lift to make it have a more lounge-like appeal, and less like a rouge coffee shop.

Finally, if that's not enough for you, Parisian cousins Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon descend upon Studio B to play their extraordinary brand of French house. Will this be the monkey wrench thrown into my weekend plans? Who do you choose? These guys are responsible to such favorites as "Music Sounds Better With You," "Intro," "Rubicon," "Vertigo," "Together," "So Much Love To Give" and much more!

Whereever you go, you won't be disappointed.

Normally I'd wait until the date was a bit closer, but as there are only 100 tickets for Clinton Hill's Oktoberfest, I thought it might be prudent to mention now, while they are still available. The party is being thrown by Wreck and Salvage. Why should you go? According to W&S ...

15 bucks gets you
Unlimited beer and pretzels
Home cooked German supper (grilled sausage, sauerkraut, German potato salad, kuchen, hot mulled cider)
Live music all night long

Who knows, maybe they'll also be giving away posters of their pretzel-beer-cup-sausage with what looks like a younger, more innocent Britney Spears in traditional German beer gal garb.

Don't forget to woop it up in Clinton Hill tomorrow night. Now that Misshapes is over, all the cool kids will be there.

Update|| A special note from Adam:

Dear Friends of Skylab,

I am sad to say that this Saturday will be the penultimate Skylab event. The final Skylab party will fall on June 30th. I will be DJing this Saturday, June 23rd, with my friend Ivee (Unjust) and we will be rockin it all night long. So come early, stay late, have  some cocktails, fall down, get back up, jack your body, sit at the bar, put your hands in the air like you just don't care, shake what yer mama gave ya, have a shot of patron, tell me to play some classic rock (not tonight honey, sorry), dance, stand, whatever...I mean what else are you gonna do, go hear Carl Craig for the 10th time? It's not like Lazy Fat People is playing at the same party. He is? Oh. Performing Live? Hmm. Well it's not like it's at Studio B. It is at Studio B? I see. But they have that really long coat check line when you leave. Oh it's 80 degrees outside? Shit. OK, forget that, come rock out with yer, umm, friends, at Sputnik. We miss you. How about if we play a Carl Craig record? How about the one where he remixes Lazy Fat People? Jesus.

Love Adam.
