Joe and Will Ask - Vikings
May 26, 2011 The Shacklewell Arms, London, E8 2EBVikings @ The Shacklewell Arms, Dalston May 26th 10.30 – 5am Joe And Will Ask With special guest - Kiwi Joe and Will Ask’s much lauded Vikings night is moving to The Shacklewell Arms, Dalston – a joint venture between members of Field Day, Pub on the Park and Eat Your Own Ears. And after another amazing Vikings (many have been saying the best yet), Joe And Will Ask are very excited to announce that their next guest will be Kiwi. “Alex (Kiwi) has been a good friend of ours for a while, and he completely blew us away with his last couple of DJ sets. We decided to go to the studio with no plan and just to have some fun, and for some reason this Moloko track came up. We absolutely love it, and had wanted to do a version of the track that we could play out for ages but never found the right way to do it, but after a couple of hours with Alex, we had pretty much nailed it! We wanted to keep as much of the original as possible while giving it the open-air summer roof party sort of feel with the bassline. “Vikings" is fast becoming a techno institution, packed to the rafters with bright young things. Brought to you by dance music pioneers Joe and Will Ask and taking place on the final Thursday of each month, the duo will be bringing the best of the quirky, melodic dance music that they have become so well known for. With Vikings you can guarantee a few things; the line up will be major, the atmosphere electric and the night itself will be memorable. Having brought the likes of Boy 8 Bit, Matt Wlash, Bowski, Eskimo Twins & Coin Operated Boy to the intimate surroundings of The Russian Bar, Vikings always provides some riotous tomfoolery.

Actress at the Club Formerly Known as Fez
May 26, 2011 Release (formerly Le Fez) 23 Lewisham Way, SE14+ buy ticketsWith the amazing Actress (Werk/Honest Jons), Paul Purgas (emptyset/Bodyhammer), Chairman Kato (Pictures Music) LIVE! and Benedict Bull (Skull Juice/BleeD/Phonica). Cheap drinks, staunch sounds. More about that banging line-up: Actress's second album Splazsh melds heavily compressed house with half-remembered snippets of video games, UK garage and R&B, all soaked in off-kilter techno. Anyone who's seen him play live will tell you - his beats are tight and his moves are fierce. Chairman Kato recently released his Wildfire EP on Pictures Music. He'll be packing a lot of chubstep beats into a short but intense improvised set. His first live set ever, we've seen a sneak preview, and this will be insanely good. Paul Purgas, of experimental techno outfit Emptyset and the underground jackfest that is Bodyhammer, is playing the final set. We're not sure what - possibly some rabid breed of chicago acid, detroit techno, electronica and house. Benedict Bull of Skull Juice, one of our absolute favourite DJs, is possibly integrating his walkman into the mix ... technological tomfoolery or no his records are ridiculously good and we're dead chuffed he'll be playing for two hours. Release/The Fez is at 23 Lewisham Way, a short walk from New Cross, New Cross Gate, and a ton of bus stops. N21 for London Bridge, 453/ N130/ N89 /N171 West End, 36 West London.

Fachwerk has become one of the most trusted techno labels there is, always delivering the club-coshing goods, and acting primarily as a showcase for Dehnert’s productions but also thosae of Sascha Rydell and Roman Lindau.

About Shifted … Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted's productions are fuelled by a personal passion for techno. A relatively new name on the scene who's music is being played and charted by likes of Jonas Kopp, James Ruskin, DVS1 and Lucy.

Endless Race: Gatto Fritto (DJ) + Jamie Blanco (Live)
May 14, 2011 Star & Shadow Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne+ buy ticketsEndless Race are back at the Star & Shadow cinema on Saturday May 14th, , as part of the Late Shows, with no less than two superb guests, Gatto Fritto (DJ) and Jamie Blanco (Live), to pick up where we left off after the success of our first party in February, where we hosted Bill Brewster. Gatto Fritto is Ben Williams and Ben Williams is Gatto Fritto. Andrew Weatherall and Harvey champion his tracks. So do we, and we’ve been list...ening closely since hearing his inimitable ‘Invisible College’ track on Dissident Records back in 2007. He’s finally got an album out now on the prestigious International Feel recordings that you might be tempted to describe as a mixture of cosmic disco, Balearic or even synth pop but we’re not getting muddled up in that. The fact is, it’s utterly sublime and been well worth the wait – it’s an odyssey of brilliance. Not only is Ben one of the most talented electronic music producers in the UK but a superb DJ to match. Bringing a selection of disco, house and other eighties oddities electronic or otherwise to Endless Race, collected over the past 15 years or so whilst working for various second hand record shops around London (safe to say he knows a thing or two about DJing then), your dancing needs will be lavishly indulged at the next Endless Race. We’re certainly not alone in acknowledging the man’s plentiful talents, with a string of DJ dates across Europe and other fine nights in the UK such as Bad Passion and Lowlife he’s a bit busy. This is his first appearance in Newcastle, don’t miss out. If that wasn’t enough, we’re equally excited to have a live performance from another extremely talented, if as yet under-acknowledged London based producer to get things kick started on the night. You’d be forgiven for not having heard of Jamie Blanco with only a limited single released to date on Russell Club records, but it’s that damn good, as are oodles of his unreleased tracks on soundcloud that we thought we’d ask if he did a live set. Luckily he said yes, and will be bringing his gloriously rich all-analogue house sound to Newcastle in May. So there you have it. A DJ set, a live set, and , of course, Endless Race’s resident DJs will be warming you up and winding you down in what promises to be another great party, at a brilliant and friendly venue, with a top notch sound system that’s clear as well as loud, and no posing.

(http://www.handbakedarcade.co.uk/) ★GLOWSTICKS, FACE & BODY PAINTING FOR CHARITY! This is our way of giving back to others whilst we have fun... The chosen charity this time is again KUA because these guys come down all the way from Brighton to do your face paints and we feel so strongly about the cause that we just want to help them more! So pitch in, get your face painted, buy some tasty sweeties or even try your luck at lucky dip and help others while having to much fun! We’ve worked together for nearly 2 years now and they’ve always been helping out at like minded events and festivals! We wanted to support KUA at another one of our events not only because they can turn your face into a 16th chapelesque work of art but also because they raise money to help children who are in dire need of aid! (www.kuatanzania.org) ★TEA AND HOT FOOD ON SITE!!! Hidden have just renovated the food area - So if dancing all night, sweating and losing weight isn’t your thing then munch your face off after some bevvies instead! ★LIVE SET RECORDINGS FROM NOISEMONSTER.FM... Right, these guys do a sterling job at coming to our events and recording our rooms for us but we’ve been a bit behind on this because we have to sift through such large amount of high quality files (over 9 hours of music in each room so times each recording by 3) hence why we haven’t got anything up just yet! But we DO have every recording and once we have a new website up we will get these on there! ★FULLY THEMED AND HANDMADE DECOR... Weeks before the event our very talented ALANs are working hard on making fun, colourful and interactive decor... We decorate to make you raving experience SENSATIONAL... we cannot wait to show you what magical masterpieces we have in store for you at our 2nd Birthday party! Happy Fooking Birthday Alan! ★DRINKS PROMOS!!! This day and age drinks are a small fortune! Especially in London clubs!!! So we’ve managed to negotiate £3.50 on Fosters cans ALL NIGHT!!! Which brings it reasonably close to normality! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★ IMPORTANT MESSAGE: The decor team would like to pass across the message 'leave the decor be' as we want to keep creating these fun filled fantasy worlds for you lovely Alans but our budget only allows us to do so much so the decor needs to not be touched and left to be beautiful for everyone’s enjoyment please! So if you see any one walking around at an Alan rave with decor please politely tell them leave it be and let an Alan know either at Front of House or the Stall in the garden and we will politely barter with them, maybe bribing them with sweeties as this seems to be a winner. so to put it simply... We can’t afford to keep replacing the decor because it gets wrecked or ruined so please bear this in mind as we’re trying to create something special for you after all. go get your party hats! Love the ALAN Crew ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Follow ALAN on the net...

This event is destined to be another uplifting dance, as Reggae Roast continue to offer the best roots, dub & dubstep in the capital in a unbeatable, welcoming atmosphere. Founded by the late George Price, a pioneer of Jamaican music in the UK, Peckings has been a leading light in the British music scene since the 1970s. George Peckings was a close friend of Jamaica’s top record producers; Coxsone Dodd, Price Buster, Duke Ried & Bunny Lee and became the official importer of their material to the UK & US. Peckings became instrumental in bringing the sounds of Jamaica across the atlantic and this legacy lives on through their west London record shop and live sound system performances. In recent years Chris Peckings has recorded many current and upcoming artists including; Bitty Mclean, Peter Hunningale, Gappy Ranks & Taurus Riley to name but a few. The Peckings imprint is still synonymous with top quality, authentic roots reggae and continues to spread the message and riddims of Jamaica. We are very much looking forward to an exclusive 2-hour set from Chris Peckings, hosted by Jungle MC legend; Demolition Man, who hit big in the charts and dancehalls across the globe with his smash hit single ‘Fire’. Also playing on the night will be founders of Reggae Roast Exel & Moodie and resident selector; Dub Hunter. This months session will be hosted by Ramon Judah. Expect to hear the freshest selection of classic revival, dub, steppers & dubstep, as well as forthcoming offerings from the Reggae Roast Records label, including the anticipated; Reggae Music EP Feat. Earl 16 & Mungo’s Hi Fi, released on May 23rd 2011. This bi-monthly residency continues to promote the strength of real roots music and provides for the demand for a conscious club night. As always this event is only £5 before 11pm and capacity is limited to 250 so arrive early for guaranteed entry.
