We have been trying to catch this event for the last few years. Celebrating the Hindu new year, Holi Festival will be taking place this Sunday in Queens with a big parade starting at Liberty Avenue & 133rd St moving to Smokey Oval Park at 125th St. About.com has more details on the Phagwah parade route and festival. As with most of our recommended events, bring your finest crappy clothes.

Is the fried chicken on Broadway a little too dark for you? Pies ‘n’ Thighs reopened on Driggs and South 4th St earlier this week. We recommend the collard greens over the macaroni.

If The Bunker’s Bass Mutations is any indication of what happens when the dubstep and techno crowds get together, expect a crazy night. Buy tickets or buy a coat, because the line outside is going to suck. For more info hit up Dub War NYC
Friday, February 19 2010 — DUB WAR w/ SHACKLETON ESKMO & EPROM Joe Nice, Dave Q, Juakali, Incyde
Skull Disco mastermind Shackleton returns to Dub War for a rare appearance Stateside. In the 3 years since he first appeared at Dub War, Shackleton has transcended his UK dubstep roots to reach deeper into the soul of Berlin’s techno scene. In the process he has transformed his live set into a uniquely mesmerizing voodoo science.
Two San Francisco producers - Eskmo and Eprom - make their Dub War debut as they celebrate a split 12” release on the mighty Warp Records.

Ghostly Essentials: Rarities One
A compilation of rare, unreleased, and hard-to-find music from Ghostly International’s vaults. We were pleasantly surprised to see Midwest Product, who we haven’t heard or thought about for a couple of years.
3D (Massive Attack) presents: Rare As Fuck Promo Mix
“This disc is one of the rarest Massive Attack promo discs in existence. There were only 200 copies produced and each is numbered. This disc was only given out free to the first 200 patrons of the Nocturne club in Bristol on the night of the 12th March 2002. It was the third in the series of such very limited releases from Nocturne to feature exclusive one track mixes from well-known DJ’s and musicians from Bristol. This particular one was mixed by 3D and offers a interesting look at some of his favourite songs over the years and a few, what were at the time, exclusive Massive Attack tracks…”
Unsound Festival New York Compilation
The Unsound compilation features tracks from Carl Craig (Congrats on DEMF 2010!), Neurotic Drum Band (SoundCloud), Derek Plaslaiko (Tumblr), DJ Qu (SoundCloud), Ezekiel Honig (SoundCloud), and more.
