Shake Wednesdays!



This Wednesday, I'll be returning for the 3rd time to Providence's very cool and hugely popular indie/electro dance night, Shake! Located at the Ruins @ the Colosseum, the music is definitely the main draw. You should expect to hear everything from Bloc Party & Phoenix to the likes of Skrillex & Deadmau5... a shit ton of remixes by some amazing artists & producers, and even some retro tracks to keep it interesting.They host a different pair of DJs every week; local acts (like myself) and also some great out of towners. Every week, three hours fly by; every-other-week Theme Nights add to the fun. The Ruins have an amazing space for this dance party, a huge outdoor smoking area w/ full bar & outside speakers, and even a bunch of old school Arcade Games! AND make sure to get some profesh photos taken by the one and only James Coletta! If you haven't checked it out yet, get you shit together.... and get there before 10 — the room fills up fast.

Annie Mac

Annie MacManus is fast becoming her generation’s definitive dance music radio DJ. In August 09 her show 'The Mash Up' was moved to the iconic 7 – 9pm slot on UK Radio 1, the most feel-good two hours on the airwaves that catches the nation off work and hyping about the weekend.

Long before her big move on Radio 1 Annie started hosting ‘Annie Mac Presents’ parties. The parties have gotten bigger, better since the inauguration four years ago in a single room at London’s famous club ‘Fabric’ with Mylo and Justice.


'Annie Mac's Mash Up', airs 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Friday nights. (thats 2pm-4pm EST for us East Coast Americans)

A popular feature of Annie Mac's Mash Up is the "Annie Mac Mini Mix", an opportunity to showcase various DJs ability to produce a five minute mix with other DJs. The Mini mix was also a feature of her previous show on a Thursday night.


She regularly DJs at clubs such as the aforementioned Fabric (London), Moles Club in Bath, Digital in Brighton and university venues such as Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge and Aston University.


There is now a podcast of the Mini Mix. (though not available outside the UK)

In October 2010, Annie released a compilation album, Annie Mac Presents 2010.


Annie also presents her own fortnightly show on the video streaming website Ustream.tv via webcam from her home. During this show, Mac showcases new music (played directly from her laptop's speakers). Viewers are able to instantly message Mac and she frequently offers them chances to win tickets to a variety of gigs. Very Cool!
