Milk and 2 Sugars (MN2S), the painfully soulful UK-based label and artist management agency, is celebrating their anniversary next Friday, April 24th at matter in London with special guests David Morales, Todd Terry, Danism, Danny Krivit, Joey Negro, Alix Alvarez and The Layabouts.

In addition, they've offered up for your pleasure a DJ mix from House Music legend Todd Terry as well as one from Alix Alvarez. Their site is one of those "enjoy reading this but don't try to link to anything" sites built entirely in Flash, so I can't give you a direct link, but you can get to it by going to their homepage, strumming your fingers through the intro and then clicking on the cut off "MN2S's Birthday @ matter - New Mixes to Downlo-" semi-linky.

In Chicago, we often say that we can roll out four or five Grammy-winning (or -nominated) producers at a moment's notice for a party. But New York is doing it up extra special for Barbara Tucker's 25 years (a quarter century!) in House Music this Thursday, March 19th at Webster Hall in New York (125 East 11th Street).

It's a testimony to the kind of person that Barbara is that such incredible folks are getting together to honor one of their own and have checked their egos at the door. David Morales, Tony Humphries and Louie Vega are set to spin with live performances by Martha Wash, India, Kathy Brown, Michelle Weeks, Melonie Daniels and Zhana with special hosts Kenny Bobien, Georgia Porgie and Althea McQueen.

Speaking of which, Morales and Humphries are teaming up again for either party's first US-based residency in recent memory. They'll be holding down Webster Hall at a new event called Sunday Shoutin' once per month from here on out - after the tribute to Barbara, their next date is scheduled for Sunday, April 19th.
