GET CRYPHY
In five years, Get Cryphy has grown from a 300-person Record Room experience to a full-fledged Mainroom extravaganza at First Avenue, and for good reason. The famous local foursome composed of Plain Ole Bill, Jimmy 2 Times, Fundo, and LAST WORD are not only slick DJs and producers, they're also all best friends, and it comes across behind the booth. On the first Friday of every month, the storied checkered dance floor fills to its edges with kids looking for a hyped-up rap party, and that's exactly what Cryphy delivers. No drama, no fuss, no pretense — just a fun atmosphere to get wild for a night.

After time spent as an early prominent music blogger and on the airwaves at Radio K, Peter Lansky began DJing as Sovietpanda in 2006 when he started Too Much Love at First Avenue. Blending forward-thinking electronic music with a reverence for dance classics, TML exploded and Sovietpanda became one of the city's premier DJs. The start of 2008 saw him named Best Club DJ in Minneapolis by the City Pages, and he finished it as a Star Tribune artist of the year, all less than two years into his DJ career. Sovietpanda has DJed all over Minneapolis, from dive bars to bottle service clubs, from art galleries to outside the Metrodome, and in other cities across the country. He's shared bills with the likes of LCD Soundsystem, !!!, The Juan Maclean, In Flagranti, Shit Robot, Classixx, Klaxons, Diplo, Holy Ghost!, The Presets, Cut Copy, Nacho Lovers, Jacques Renault, and other artists from across Twin Cities and the rest of the world.
