ALL THOSE WHO REGISTER WILL BE SENT AN EXCLUSIVE PETE TONG MIX FOR FREE!Hosted at Village Underground – one of East London’s premiere warehouse spaces, All Gone Pete Tong will present an intimate evening of cutting edge underground electronic music on Saturday 25th February. Representing a revolutionary chapter in Pete’s illustrious career, All Gone Pete Tong makes its long awaited debut in the Capital, following a dream inaugural season at Pacha Ibiza. Now via a sold out party at Bristol’s Motion in November, it’s London’s turn for a taste.
Tong is the world’s undisputed ambassador for electronic dance music, and true to form he has selected a line-up that’s in keeping with his insatiable appetite for the freshest talent.
Eats Everything certainly fits the brief! The rise and rise of Eats over recent months has seen a plethora of impressive releases, most notably ‘Entrance Song’, and his Essential Mix on Radio 1 in November was deservedly nominated for the coveted ‘Essential Mix of The Year.’ Signed to Claude Von Stroke’s acclaimed Dirtybird label, and affirming his status as one of THE breakthrough acts of 2011, his chunky full on basslines are now a mainstay in the likes of Jamie Jones and Maya Jane Coles’ record boxes. Voted ‘Best New Producer’ in the DJ Mag ‘Best Of British’ awards, Eats Everything is guaranteed to leave you hungry for more.
Next up Bill Patrick, A&R manager for Guy Gerber’s ‘Supplement Facts’ imprint which has revitalised the electronic scene. Known for a trippy take on affairs, this unsung hero boasts Seth Troxler’s esteemed Visionquest collective amongst his biggest fans. Having the vision not to adopt the status quo, Bill utilises both analogue and digital – a rare skill in today’s technological age. Combining tech house bleeps, pulsating techno riffs and psychedelic undertones equates to a magical experience. With previous gigs at DC10 and Fabric regarded as stuff of legend, it’s no wonder Bill has amassed a dedicated global following.
Last but not least the savvy pairing Blond:Ish. Refusing to be pigeon holed by any genre, this duo posses a raw technical ability and infectious exuberance. Expect a musical prophecy that’s guaranteed to shake Shoreditch to the core. Spring loaded basslines infused with deviant synths, haunting vocals and dreamy percussion. A recent sell-out tour of North America and Canada, and upcoming releases on Kompakt, Noir & Get Physical, proves this eclectic outlook is high in demand. And as those who witnessed their phenomenal set at last year’s Burning Man with testify, Blond:ish know how to rock a party.
Not forgetting Pete Tong himself. Last year saw just two exclusive London shows from Pete, a main stage outing at South West Four in front of thousands of devotees was followed by a rocking headline slot at Alexandra Palace’s showpiece Together Winter Music Festival. All Gone Pete Tong, the first date of a soon to be announced national tour to support a forthcoming compilation (with a very special guest also to be announced soon), will be a rare London opportunity to see Pete doing what he does best – playing the finest underground electronic music and promises to be an intense new chapter to East London’s rich clubbing history.
Pre-sale tickets to the event will be available to purchase on Tuesday 31st January at 9am with priority given to all those who register at www.allgonepetetong.com. Sign up today and you will also be sent a free Pete Tong mix, recorded live at The Warehouse Project, Manchester. All remaining tickets will go on general sale on Wednesday 1st February.

+ more tbcOn Saturday 25th February 2012 a very special Poker Flat showcase is to happen in London for the very first time. It will feature a carefully curated selection of label associates old and new, and the bespoke venue is to be a secret warehouse space where joining label boss Steve Bug, will be Ovum chief Josh Wink and 2011 star M A N I K, as well as Martin Landsky, Daniel Dexter and Burnski, plus more to be confirmed.
Poker Flat is the deep house and tech label run by DJ, producer and A&R maestro Steve Bug since 1999. Amongst its illustrious back catalogue are genre defining hits like ‘Loverboy’ and ’1000 Miles’, peerless compilations by the likes of Argy and Märtini Brös, full lengths from the boss himself plus the likes of Trentemoller and Donnacha Costello and as well as the usual string of excellent 12” and EP releases from established names and new young blood alike. The label is a pillar of the modern scene and so a showcase such as this in the English capital is long overdue…
Josh Wink, boss of Ovum Records, tops the bill behind Steve Bug and needs little hype given his countless acid, techno and house hits over the past few decades. One of the stars he’s discovered himself in recent times is M A N I K. This NYC virtuoso has a great musicality running through his sultry house and snaking tech releases on Poker Flat, Hot Creations and of course Ovum (for whom he also released a full length this year) whilst one of Bug’s oldest partners in crime, Martin Landsky – known for his peerless production finesse – also gets in on the action.
Another fast rising talent is Chicago house and Detroit techno derived producer, DJ and label boss Daniel Dexter, whilst Berlin based Brit Burnski has a long association with Poker Flat thanks to his deep and tidy productions for the label in recent years.
This secret warehouse venue is perfectly suited to a proper Poker Flat party of this sort – with dynamite sound, killer production and the extra attention to detail you’d expect of a label with as long and esteemed a history as this.
The show also ties in with release of the label’s latest double compilation album ‘Poker Flat Volume 9 – Gunslingers and Greenhorns’, which is due for release on Monday February 20th. Limited early bird tickets are available now from RA and look out on the night for details of the next upcoming Poker Flat showcases in London and beyond….
