DJ JOHN BOURKE, DJ JOEEIRWIN, DJ FURPURSE, DJ KOOLAID (Branx, 320 SE 2nd) John Bourke is a master of dirty electro-house. His DJ sets are made up almost exclusively of giant peak-hour tracks with pulsating bass and lower- than-low buzz-saw synths. Imagine Justice mixed with MSTRKRFT mixed with Simian Mobile Disco mixed with whatever else just came out on Kitsune Records. Bourke’s original productions are along the same lines as his influences, with Italian disco accents added to the high-energy robot-rock sound. His reputation for playing nothing but the dance floor hits along with his project Trash Yourself (with sexy vocalist Heidi Cannon) have put him on the radar of electro fans everywhere, and should go over quite well in Portland, where the neon-loving nu-rave craze shows no sign of fading.
