Berklee-trained MONOCLE recently played their sultry tech house at WERS to a receptive audience. The duo of DANNY PATTERSON and CHRISTINA CHATFIELD fashion a mean brand of minimal grooves that’s getting attention from some high-profile corners. “We can’t exactly say when the EP comes out,” says Patterson, “since we haven’t gotten anything signed yet.” For now, they can be heard at their Web site,www.monocle-music.com/, and on MySpace. They’ll be label-shopping this weekend at the Movement Music Festival in Detroit, the biggest of its kind. . . . Yours truly DJs the ultra-hot Paper party Friday for a one-night-only move to the Middle East downstairs. The night also features live performances from the CHINESE STARS, LORD & FRESH, and LANNEN FALL; I’ll be dropping nasty party jams alongside resident DJ ERIC MARCELINO (Sex Positions). Those of you who have been on the Paper’s post-Harpers tour (which saw it go all the way to Club Lido!) will be happy to know the club night has found a permanent home. Beginning June 2, Andrew, Eric, Eric, and their cadre of 400-plus party animals descends at Bill’s Bar on Landsdowne Street for regular weekly dance mayhem.
