March 5, 2014, 7:00pm

In this edition of Hidden Depths, we’ve got Brooklyn-based party duo Mister Saturday Night (aka Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin). Last year, the pair curated a set of stunning releases through their Mister Saturday Night record label, DJed around the globe, and continued throwing some of Brooklyn’s finest parties throughout the year. For Hidden Depths, they’ve each selected five of their favourite songs to end a set with.

Brian Blade Fellowship – “Evinrude-Fifty (Trembling)” (Blue Note, 2000)

Nuyorican Soul – “I Am The Black Gold of The Sun (4Hero Mix)” (Talkin’ Loud, 1997)

James Brown – “People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul (Remix)” (Polydor, 1988) Motherlode

Vera Ward Hall – “Black Woman (Wild Ox Moan)” (Globla Jukebox, 2010) into Burial and Four Tet “Nova” (Text, 2012)
“In the summer of 2012, one of the guys who’d been working with us, Gareth, was working his last Sunday. We got on the mic to give him thanks for everything he’d done. I then put this Vera Ward Hall song on, and as it got to the second verse, I started running it through our delay pedal, slowly bringing in Nova. During the Vera Ward Hall song, everyone surrounded Gareth and started hugging him! And then when the Four Tet and Burial song came in, everyone got locked in and had the most transcendent dance together.”

The Velvet Underground – “Beginning To See The Light” (MGM, 1969)
“This song’s held a special place in my heart since I was a kid. I have this vivid memory of my high school buddy, John, wildly singing along to the lyrics, “There are problems in these times, but wooooooo, none of them are mine!” in his bedroom when we were getting ready to go out one night. I’m not sure why I remember that exactly, but it’s certainly an appropriate sentiment about being a teenager.”

EAMON HARKIN:

LCD Soundsystem – “All My Friends” (DFA, 2007)

Ramsey Lewis – “Party Time” (Cadet, 1967)

Johnny Osbourne – “Buddy Bye” (Jammy’s, 1985)

Dizzy Gillespie – “Matrix” (Perception, 1970)
