Focus OC Present: Blond:ish 1/22 [Upcoming Event + Tickets On-Sale]

This Tuesday we are proud to bring you the Orange County debut of Blond:ish [Official | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud] ! This will be an exclusive So Cal appearance by the duo (Anstacia & Vive-Ann) and we are super excited. In the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe which focuses on the art of creating music that is organic and multi-dimensional. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specific category.

Their tracks have been featured on labels like Get Physical, NM2 (Noir Music 2), Mile End, Defected and more. This duo rides off each other's hefty musical knowledge and flawless technique with their diverse personas only adding to the intrigue. Anstascia's unruly demeanor and creative spark spirals against Vivie-Ann's scientific and geek-chic flair in a whirlwind of inspiration and contrast. The result is a force to be reckoned with, a vibe that effortlessly transcends in the studio, behind the booth and more than anything, to the dancefloor.

This will definitely be a big night for us especially since this is the only place in Southern California you can see Blond:ish play [Purchase tickets here]. - Focus OC

Focus OC Present: Miguel Migs 1/15 [Upcoming Event]

Focus OC | Miguel Migs : Official | Facebook | Tickets

Miguel Migs is a DJ that has received critical and commercial success that most in the deep house community can only dream of. He's been nominated on the Beatport poll as "Best Deep House Producer" and has been a staple of the West Coast's house music scene since the mid 90s. He’d also become a stalwart of the hugely influential Naked Music stable with his singles, remixes and compilations as Petalpusher. His mix CD "Nude Tempo 1" has to be one of the best house music mix CDs ever released and the tracks he's been putting out on his own label, Salted Music, are phenomenal to say the least. To have a man that has done so much for house music at our humble spot is truly an honor. Don't miss this Tuesday it's going to be one incredible night!

We have had Miguel Migs at Focus a few times before and they've always been huge nights so early arrival or presale tickets are suggested. - Focus OC

Focus presents: Martin Buttrich @ Focus Tuesdays 2/21 [Press Release + Tickets On-Sale]

Focus presents: Martin Buttrich [Desolat, Planet E] @ Focus Tuesdays 2/21 | Tickets

"Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallised. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he’s entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields, at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and at worldwide Desolat Experience parties with Loco Dice.

Along with Focus Resident DJ Nonfiction & Brando Commando we couldn't be more excited for Tuesday. This is Martin Buttrich's first ever appearance at Focus and one of those nights you don't want to miss.

P.S. If you sign up for the membership you can get in for Tonight with Martin Buttrich along with: Soul Clap, Andy Caldwell, Eats Everything & Yolanda Be Cool. More info on www.Focus-OC.com/tickets" - Focus
