Exhibition this Friday + Synamatix mix

Hope every one had a suitably massive Bank holiday weekend? Big love to the Urchins for having us along to play Just London on Friday night. Following that a standardly huge Trouble Vision got the weekend in to swing and a stop by the Red Bull party on Monday at Carnival topped off another amazing "semi official" end to the summer.

Coming up this weekend. Our party Oonst will be returning to XOYO this Saturday the 3rd September but more on that to come in the next few days. Today we thought we'd alert you to this Fridays Exhibition party at the Star of Kings Cross.

Exhibition #1 is the first of many Exhibition nights that will be showcasing up and coming street ware fashion labels alongside some of the freshest new stars in dance music. Hearing good things about the Star of Kings Cross as a venue and with this tasty little line up the party is on to being a winner.


DJs at the launch include hyped youngsters Hackman, Graphics, Synamatix (who also provides us with the mix at the bottom of the page) as well as every bodies favorite blog man Pelski who has transferred his writing skills exceedingly smoothly to the DJ decks over the past summer.

On the clothing front there will be items to view and for sale from LNUK, Beg Designs and our favorite T shirt brand of Summer 2011 Yoghurt Warrior.

Get a listen to the launch party mix on the mixcloud player below put together by Synamatix. Synamatix, founder of Deadplate records as well as member of my favorite trainered up web site The daily street brings it proper on this 1st in the Exhibition mix series, taking on house, garage and bass in a standard Synamatix seamless manner.

Crack it on loud and get over to the Exhibition #1 Facebook event page here for full deets.

DJ Sneaks # 14 Tony Volker

So, we thought we'd try something a little different. We've got a couple of mixes coming up over the next few days that are not our usual house fodder. Obviously the House music is still our staple diet but as stated by our good buddy Sam whilst relaxing on the beach at Stop Making Sense festival - " Have you got anything that isn't House?" So here you go.

First up is a mix tape from the immensely talented Tony Volker. Tone has spent the last few years secretly slipping off to his bed room to produce the most amazingly charming acoustic based music.

Photobucket

We were always aware of his love of the guitar and knew he could knock a tune together. But he quietly let known to us a few months back that he has put a selection of his favorite bedroom creations in one place resulting in a
genuinely brilliant and original album. His sound is made even more endearing by the fact that he has put it all together purely for the love of making his music and the occasional crackle of a lomo bedroom recording set up adds to the chilled and upbeat atmosphere he's created on each song. Any way, enough of my descriptive bollox, the Album "Moving Plates" is up on his Bandcamp page here for sale at the price of what ever you want to give. He's also given us a couple of freebies to download below so get on the DL and see what you think.

Tony's Kicks -
Tony has sent us an image of his pair of Mercurial Nike footy boots. A hint toward his sporting past we think, with many a tail of coaching young boys past over to us at the pub table. (No.....Tone is a teacher for anyone with a sick mind). Anyway, nice to have something a little different to go with a slightly different DJ Sneaks.

Tony's Mix-
As we've stated, something a little different today. A throw back to the old ways of making a mix tape. We all remember when a mix tape meant putting together a selection of tracks in one place that would play one after the other without having to change the CD or for those of you old enough...the tape. I think these mix tapes, especially when passing them on to other people are the hardest to put together. Have a listen on the player below and get on over to Tony's Bandcamp page and buy his album for something a little different to the usual housey house to get you through the day.



DJ Sneaks #13 Kiwi - "The Summer Mix"

Going in hard with the DJ Sneaks mixes over the next few days as our couple of weeks off have meant a back log of superb mixes and delightful kicks pics have been piling up. We have something a little different to the usual house tip coming soon from singer/producer Tony Volker as well as a fresh take on the mix tapes of our yout from Artist and Graphics man HeyGus. But today a summer mixtual treat from DJ, Producer and all round club man Kiwi.

Kiwi (from New Cross and not New Zealand he states) has put together a smooth selection of "Honey infused vocals and shlomo grooves" which has been sound tracking my morning in the office rather nicely.

Kiwi aka Alex Warren is no new comer to the DJ walk of life with most of his time spent running his ongoing club night Orlando Boom as well as heading up bookings at one of our favorite Dalston rave pits The Nest. His recent bootleg rework alongside Joe & Will Ask? of Moloko "The time is now" has also been one of our choice grooves of the past few months. Get yourself over to his Soundcloud here for a listen.

Kiwi's Kicks-

A limited edition release of the Nike Air Max Structure Triax 91s here. Not too clued up myself on the Triax editions but am liking the colour way and it could even be the first low air max to temp me away from my love of the 90s and classic Air Max 1s. The pic he's sent over is pretty smooth as well..

Kiwi's Mix -

As I've already mentioned above, Kiwi describes this mix better than i ever could so i'll leave you with his words and let you ears do the er..........listening.

Kiwi kicks off a new residency at new party "Kate Boss" launching at the Nest on the 2nd September. scoot over to here for full deets.

DJ Sneaks #12 Mr Solid Gold + Trouble Vision Carnival Warm up Party

And we're back!

Sorry for the lack in posts over the past 2 weeks. We have been off
gallivanting in Croatia at the amazing Stop Making Sense Festival and what a time we had. Massive love to the Stop Making Sense crew for having us and the Trouble Vision family along. We'll be posting a little review with some pics, videos and hopefully the radio show we recorded live on the beach stage for London Fields Radio as soon as i can track it down.

So, on to today's latest DJ Sneaks mix from our very own Trouble Vision boss man Mr Solid Gold aka Christopher Gold.

The Kicks
A seriously fresh pair of Nike Air Max 1s have been hanging out on Mr Solid Gold's feet recently, all out black definitely looks good on the Air Max 1s, keeps them club fresh and are a little rarer than this summers in your face colour schemes in the same model. The pic below in standard Mr Solid Gold style snapped straight from the office on a right foot only tip as he's busily thinking up London's next club smashing line up.

In his words- " OK, So yeah the Air Max 1s offer premium comfort, while not sacrificing any style. Its a win win with these puppies."

The Mix
A true purveyor of sound and party, Mr Solid Gold has put together a selection of summer beauts.
I'll let you take in his words again for a wee bit of what it's all about.

"It's basically a selection of some of the tunes i've been playing over the summer, from grimey clubs to beautiful countryside. Recorded totally live (no monkey business) with some old and some new, its basically a real mixture."

Get on the Soundcloud Player below for a refreshing ear journey as well as the download link and track listing below that.

Alex Egan Pejhy Podcast No.10

A good mix can make the worst of days pass like any other, so when you find a blog or web site that consistently provides the tastiest of mixes on a regular basis it is definitely worth hitting up the old bookmark tab. Pejhy.com is most certainly one of these sites. We posted the Thick as Thieves Pejhy podcast a few months back and today we thought we'd hit you up with the latest offering.

Pejhy Podcast Number 10 comes from our long time pal Mr Alex Egan. Formerly of Skull Juice and modern club night legends Bloggers delight, Alex certainly knows his way around a record box. Over the past years we've observed Alex play some of the best sets at some of the most fun parties Robin and i have attended so its real good to see him back at it.

Anyway, get a listen to the 90 Minute mix on the player below and get on over to Pejhy.com and slip in that bookmark.
