Mike playing RUBULAD this weekend (w/ the HOMOSEXUALS!!!)

Photobucket
i always get asked about Rubulad... so heres your answer.
ill be playing there this saturday july 26 th. as you may or may
not know, Rubulad is held in Brooklyn at a location they want
to keep quiet so the police do not mess it up and shut it down.
if you would like info for the party email me or message me via
myspace. i go on at 3am and will play until everyone leaves
which is usually 9-10 am. unfortunately there arent any guest
list spots. hope to see you there!


most importantly- the HOMOSEXUALS are playing. you must attend this
as the HOMOSEXUALS are one of the most important bands of our times!

AFTER DARK GIVEAWAY

hey there. moscow was KILLER!!! its my new all time favorite
place. and i am sure the bands agree. glass candy and chromatics
blew the doors off the place. it was a sight to behold. if i didnt
run this record label i would sure be jealous! but seriously, it
was amazing! also sorry to the people who had to see me dj with
only a few cds. the airline lost my records and i had to burn cds off
my laptop. but it was fun! i even got to play some trance FINALLY! (lol).
it was also great hanging with Optimo again. they destroyed, and we
traded edits, yada yada yada,,, all in all a great weekend!

also, my friend Elliot has a website and its pretty huge these days
and we are giving away a few copies of the AFTER DARK 3lps (if
you dont want to buy it!!) to register for the contest go below

    MAILORDER ISSUES

    ok, so here is where we stand with the spring 12"s.
    we shipped all of them out last week, and we gave
    refunds for the TIEDYE "Nothing" 12", because it
    is all gone. we tried waiting for the pressing
    plant to right their wrongs and get these out, but
    it wasnt happening and people were getting angry
    (rightly so)... so look out for your records
    coming next week or the week after that. once again
    we feel TERRIBLE about this.

    email me direct at orders@troublemanunlimited.com
    if you are not getting the orders and i will refund
    you personally. this will NEVER happen again. we
    learned our lesson the hard way!

    AND to add insult to injury, we happen to live in
    the town with the WORST post office on the planet.
  • READ THIS
    so we have a lot of things working against us!

    also, the AFTER DARK 3lps will be here in a few days and
    when we post them on the site we will have them in our
    hands so you can guarantee they will ship when you order
    them !! ! ! !

    thanks!
