Lock N Load Events: Paul van Dyk - Evolution Album Launch Party
March 31, 2012 Central London, LondonLineup so far... Paul van Dyk + many more to be announced As one of the most influential electronic music artists of all time, Paul van Dyk needs no introduction. His revolutionary and visionary productions have set trends for the past two decades, whilst his legendary DJ performances have helped build a colossal, global fanbase. PvD returns to the Capital on Saturday 31st March to launch his new album ‘Evolution’, at a London venue he has never played before. PvD is one of the pioneers of electronic music, having transformed the sound of techno and house, trifled and designed the melody of trance, whilst harmonizing peaceful, progressive harmonies. As strongly determined as devoted, Paul Van Dyk has pushed beyond production, making the famous soundtrack for ‘Zurdo’, winning the Mexican Oscar in March 2004. In addition, his works with EA Games have added to the diversity of his profile. With his popularity in constant growth and with more than 3 million albums sold worldwide, his followers are still hungry for more. Outside of his countless shows around the world, he still airs one of the world’s most listened to podcasts; ‘Paul van Dyk: VONIC Sessions’, featuring his own music and that from other highly ranked artists. In addition to being recognised as one of the world’s greatest producers, he stands even higher with heart-stopping performances in front of huge crowds. 2008’s New Years Eve in Rio De Janeiro is one example, with Van Dyk playing in front of one million people. But for the last weekend of March, PvD is coming to town for the release of his latest album: Evolution. With many years of experience, Paul will transmit to the heart of London the Evolution of music. In a venue that he has never played before, the thrills coming from this new experience for both artist and fan go above the usual lofty expectations, making this one of 2012’s standout events.

BacktoBack/Odd Rituals present: The Hacker + Spencer + more
March 31, 2012 Secret Shoreditch Basement, London+ buy ticketsOf Saturday 31st March, we are teaming up with Odd Rituals for something even more special than our usual Dalston residency. The venue is a 300 capacity space in Shoreditch that will be announced on the day. Whilst that remains secret, the line-up does not. Alongside familiar B2B faces Kezokichi, Pressplay and Alex Carlé, we bring you two amazing djs that we are very excited about: French icon The Hacker, and Numbers and RinseFM star Spencer. The Hacker Be it through his solo releases, his expansive DJ touring, his acclaimed co-production and live performances alongside Miss Kitten. The Hacker has always stood out as a unique figure in today's electronic music world. Having had such an impact on dance music when blazing a trail through the infamous electroclash scene, it would have been easy for The Hacker to switch his style to stay on trend. However, like fellow retro-futurists I-F, Dopplereffekt and Alden Tyrell, The Hacker remains true to the history and emotions that fuel this music. As such, he knows exactly how to slay a dancefloor. Spencer Whilst a lot younger our 2nd headliner is another for whom the history of music is as important, as the present. Having spent his formative years in Glasgow music institution Rubadub Records, Spencer’s sets are built on a rock solid musical foundation. Add to this the fact that he is co-founder of Numbers, probably the most on-point label on the planet, has a RinseFM residency alongside Jackmaster, and what you get is someone who can join the dots between past and present like few others. Oh, and did we mention that beyond his unquestionable taste, he is a badman dj? It is no secret that Spencer is Mr Miyagi to Jackmaster’s Daniel-San. Expect the expert. Also expect our usual high production values, with great sound and a stunning visual installations delivered by the wonderful Florence To. We look forward to seeing you.

Legowelt live with Mike Dred, Deep Space Orchestra, Ed Chamberlain++
March 30, 2012 Rhythm Factory, London+ buy ticketsStreets Of Beige, The Centrifuge and 44 collaborate for The Centrifuge's 5th Birthday with hardware enthusiast and all-round acid/techno/house purveyor Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt. Although his output stretches back to 1996, Legowelt really got his footing from 2000 with releases on seminal Dutch label Bunker, followed by stunning work for Creme Organisation, Cocoon, Strange Life and in more recent years M>O>S, L.I.E.S, Echovolt and Clone. Such a schmorgasbord of label releases leaves Legowelt as a heavily individual artist, which is why it seems fitting that he should self-release his most recent LP 'The TEAC Life', and after offering it for free download was convinced enough to press the album in a four 12" pack due to the overwhelming demand. A true electronic innovator and master of real techno, Legowelt's live show is a spectacle not to be missed and if his recent Beats In Space mix is anything to go by London will be in for a night to remember. Support comes from legendary R&S/Replex acid techno connoisseur Mike Dred, Manchester's organic house duo Deep Space Orchestra, machine-master Ed Chamberlain and the much-hyped new Traum signing Ither.

Kompakt presents Robag Wruhme, Sascha Funke++
March 23, 2012 Corsica Studios/ 5 Elephant Road. London SE17 1LB+ buy ticketsCorsica Studios is extremely proud to announce the first edition in a new series of Kompakt label showcases. Label stalwarts Robag Wruhme and Sascha Funke will be playing extended sets and they'll be joined by Terranova, who'll be airing tracks from his new album, and Matt Sawyer from the notorious Acid Casuals / Brand New Fiction. We're also delighted to announce that Huntleys and Palmers are taking over room 2 to celebrate the new release by Alejandro Paz. Chilean Alejandro Paz first came to our attention via a track which was included in a mix from his schoolfriend, Diegors of Cómeme fame. That track was 'Callejero' and we still can't get it out our head. Billed as the 'Latin Township Funk' it will be released in March and what better way to celebrate than with a launch party starring two of our favourite artists / producers / collaborators; Matias Aguayo and Auntie Flo. Matias Aguayo One-man-hit-machine Matias Aguayo is one of the the most talented, exciting and unique producers in electronic music right now. Responsible for our favourite label, Cómeme and introducing the world to the likes of Rebolledo, Daniel Maloso, Diegors, DJs Pareja and Ana Helder. His own productions on Kompakt and Soul Jazz span a host of genres and influences and permeates a healthy doze of fun which is lacking in many of his peers. His live DJ set is one of the best we've ever seen and takes in live vocals, percussion and great deal of groove. Auntie Flo With two sell out releases in 2011 under his belt, a growing fan base which counts Ricardo Villalobos, Andrew Weatherall, Gilles Peterson. Caribou and Jackmaster amongst its members, topping the end of year charts, a smashing live show and an RA championed mix; Auntie Flo's arrival has been triumphant! This year will see the release of mini-album, Future Rhythm Machine, a slew of top remixes for the likes of Photonz, festival appearances residencies at Glasgow's Sub Club and Plastic People. 2012 is sure to be his year. Alejandro Paz With remixes and releases for H&P, History Clock, Cómeme on the way, Ale is tipped for big things. A classically trained musician, his productions owe as much to House music from the streets of Chicago and South Africa's townships as it does his Latin roots and his DJ sets take in a mixture of boogie, Chicago house, Italo, combined with the unique latin twist from his Cómeme amigos.

Nofitstate feat Motor City Drum Ensemble++
March 17, 2012 TBA - East London / East London+ buy ticketsForget the Euro's, the Golden Jubilee Celebrations and the Olympics - March 17th is the date you'll be needing to note down in your diaries in 2012 as we bring you another edition of our rather spanking nofitstate parties. Following on from our monster NYD bash we bring you yet more high spirited hi-jinx with a top notch headliner in the form of Motor City Drum Ensemble. Having been raised on a diet of Jazz, Soul & Funk from an early early age Danilo Plessow first started releasing tracks when he was 15, it was, however, when he started producing under the Motor City moniker in 2007 (so called because of his home town of Stuggart's car production history) that the dance music community really sat up and took note. The 'Raw Cuts' series on his own MCDE ploughed a new furrow through the often derivative deep house scene with their fresh sample heavy low slung grooves; three of the singles feature in Juno Records all time top selling single chart - no mean feat tough climate for vinyl sales in recent years. For an example of the man's dj talent look no further than 2011's 'DJ Kicks' comp - magically weaving a tapestry of different genres together, from Sun Ra to Robert Hood, to create a brilliantly cohesive soundscape and one of last years most intriguing blends. Next up on the bill is tINI. Intrinsically linked to Loco Dice's fantastic Desolat imprint, tINI released her debut album 'Tessa' for the label last October and has since fortified her position as one of the rising talentsin dance music with a slew of gigs including a worldwide tour with Marco Carola. tINI's style is many and varied, from deeper sleek tripped out journeys to energy packed main room rides as we're really excited to be hosting her at nofitstate. As ever, our ship's captain Geddes will be in attendance spinning a blend of techno and house in his own inimitable style. 2012 promises to be a landmark year for the Mulletover man with singles on Poker Flat and his own nofitstate imprint looking towards a potential bonanza dj schedule We look foward to seeing you down the front!

Jump&Bounce Premier
March 8, 2012 Kensington Town Hall+ buy ticketsWe can now officially announce our debut show "Jump&Bounce Premier". This event has been specially curated for our bass lovers. Your unforgettable night will take place on Friday 8th March 2013 at a venue that has played host to superstar Radio 1 DJ, Skream in the past, Kensington Town Hall. We have managed to get the most exciting acts for our big launch party and every single one of them are definitely ones to watch in 2013. So without further or due, Let the bass begin... BOBBY TANK - https://soundcloud.com/bobbytank - A fast rising star on the dubstep scene, quietly emerged from the ether a little over a year ago. He is now evolving the genre as a face of the post-dubstep movement. His music, an aggressive mix of grooving 80’s funk and glitch heavy beats, escapes simple definition. Bobby Tank, a Harrow boy, has perhaps described his music best, likening it to, “Rick James riding a flying unicorn along Orion's belt whilst smoking a crack pipe.” TROY GUNNER - https://soundcloud.com/troygunner - Hailing from somewhere near Bath, the young producer certainly demonstrates an experience beyond his years, using often simple means to create infectious and accomplished music. Using an amalgamation of field recordings, crafted drumwork and densely textured sonics, Troy Gunner creates playful music that permeates the senses. And one thing’s for sure, he likes to party. ETON MESSY (DJ SET) – https://soundcloud.com/etonmessy - These four lads created a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing new Future Garage inspired music and from it, they have become an internet sensation and even run their own club night. Now they come to JUMP&BOUNCE to spread the love on a music genre they so dearly love. PÁLE - https://soundcloud.com/thisispale - This young melodic bass savvy producer has hit the London scene with full force, his smooth sophisticated climatic touch has brought invigorating life to his unique style and we are delighted to welcome him to the Jump&Bounce stage. And just when you couldn’t get enough, we also have a SECRET HEADLINER. Rumour has it, this artist has collaborated with two very recent Top 10 chart toppers?! We will be releasing this secret headliner at a later date so stay tuned on the relevant pages for more details.

HUSH HOUSE presents Scuba vs. SCB, Midland & Mano Le Tough
March 2, 2012 Mint Club, Leeds, UK+ buy ticketsSince being established in 2006, the Hush House blog has been bringing music fans worldwide the latest and greatest in new talent from a broad cross-section of genres. Artists come and go, certain styles fall in and out of favour, but our commitment to quality has always ...been maintained. Yes, many things have changed since our inception… but this is where we are today. For our official Leeds launch party on 3rd March 2012, we bring to Mint Club... SCUBA vs. SCB [hotflush] MIDLAND [aus music] MANO LE TOUGH [permanent vacation] Boundary pushing, genre hopping man of the moment SCB was an obvious choice for our headliner. With new single 'The Hope' currently destroying dancefloors everywhere from London to Lagos, and new “Personality" LP set to drop at the end of February, 2012 is set to be SCB’s biggest year yet. Expect the Berlin resident to provide an unrelenting two-hour journey through Berghain-indebted techno rollers, fear-house stompers and sub-heavy steppers. SCB, Scuba, Spectr, Paul Rose… call him what you like, he’s going to tear Mint Club in half. One-time Leeds lad Harry Agius, alias Midland, hit the big time following the release of 'Your Words Matter', 2010’s collaborative effort produced in conjunction with housemate and Hessle chief Ramadanman. Midland’s productions are of the rolling and reflective variety, taking house, techno and bass music influences into account with little regard for genres or tags. His DJ sets dig deep into electronic music’s past and present, illustrating a keen understanding of just how to get a crowd moving. Fresh off the back of his much-fêted XLR8R podcast and with gigs everywhere from Panorama Bar to Corsica Studios under his belt, the talented Irishman-turned-Berliner Mano Le Tough is set for a busy one in 2012. A stream of quality releases on Buzzin’ Fly, Dirt Crew and, most recently, Prins Thomas’ own Internasjonal label showcases his knack for slow, carefully considered and highly emotive house music. As he prepares to drop his debut LP on Permanent Vacation in the coming months, we think you’re going to be seeing this name around a lot more.
