Missed Mixtuals - Bicep + Andy Williams

Sorry for the lack of Friday Mixtuals for you last week. A day away from the pooter screen meant we couldn't get them up here for you. So this week we thought we'd showcase two of the freshest ones we've heard in a few days.

Bicep - DJ History Mystery Mix

First up is this crackingly wonderful selection of house music from the lads over at Bicep. These guys are some of our favorite selectors and producers of the moment with their blog site "Feel My Bicep" here also keeping peeps informed to some of the freshest edits and remixes out there.

The mix has been put together for DJ History as part of the Mystery Mix series. No track list for you as that would spoil the fun. Get it on the Soundcloud player below.



Andy Williams - Lovebox Jukebox #13

Second up is a fresh Mix for the Lovebox Jukebox from Andy Williams. We featured Andy's last mix put together with the Lovebox residents "Hot Blood" back in January which took us on a trip through all that inspires the boys behind the festival.

This one however is more to Andy's own taste taking you on a trip through driving tech house beasts filled with techno glitches. Featuring jams from Trentemoller, Mark Knight and Dean Newton.

Get it on the player below and track list below that. Download also available over on the Soundcloud page alongside a mini interview from the man himself as well as all other Lovebox ifno over on the web site here



Tracklist:

Trentemoller - Prana
Orchidee - Loco Dice (Funktional Edit)
Komytea - 9 (Funktional Edit)
Lee Jones - Aria
David Ferrero - What U Want
Julien Parise - a5b
Mark Knight - Shogun
Steve Haines - Traffic
Dean Newton - Amnesia
Lissat & Voltaxx- Release

The Apocalypse is Coming......at 433

So as promised, we got loads of stuff for you this week. Today is strictly one for the London crew or anyone that may be visiting town next Friday.

We are super hyped for this one as a lot of effort is going into every aspect of the party....that and there's something special about taking a very large sound system and cracking it in the middle of ware house.

Friday the 2nd March brings the first party in the Apocalypse Survival Guide series, and what a session it is looking to be. Taking place at the 433, a new creative community venue based on Caledonian Road, N7. The guys behind it are promising to bring "a series of interactive, immersive and experimental late night clubbing events" which sounds like a sack load of fun to me.

Photobucket

The parties.....or chapters as they are being called open with the theme "Appeasing the gods". The 433 are enforcing a strict Mayan fancy dress theme with Mayan beauticians on the door to spruce up any one to dull or late to put in the effort for a small palm crossing of gold nuggets. Guests will be welcomed in to the warehouse-turned-temple with performances and interaction from actors/sacrificial priests thoughout the night. I've seen some sneaky pics of the DJ booth being built and it looks like this is going to be something seriously worth checking out.

We will be joining the DJ line up for the evening alongside Fife & Lex Darker (Yeah, Maybe), Ad Pan (Audio Farm) and resident Larry Sun (The 433).

Got a feeling tickets are going to fly for this one so get over to the Facebook page here for full details as well as the links below and we'll hopefully see you there!

Walk The Night returns + WTN promo Mix from Benedict Bull

Walk the Night returns to London this Sunday 13th November. Taking place at The London Fields pub, 137 Mare Street Hackney E8 3RH.

Walk the night is definitely a party that brings quality in it's musical selection. From its early days back in 2006 bringing the rare event of a decent party session to my home ends of Camberwell, Walk the Night has since hosted hoe downs at some of the best venues across the country. Residents Alex Egan and Benedict Bull (formally known as the DJ duo Skull Juice) have graced many a dance floor in their own right with sets laid down for Bugged out, Optimo, Fabric and the legendary Trash to name but a few.

Photobucket

Since ceasing as a back to back duo they continue to pursue many a musical projects solo stylee with Ben a familiar face at London's Phonica records over the past 5 years where he continues to hold down every thing that is house like and waxy. Alex continues to produce under a number of aliases such as Astronomer as well as a forthcoming Ep release as The Draughtsman.

I'm really glad to hear that this party is returning so make sure you get down to the London Fields pub for what is sure to be evening of uniquely open minded music with Ben And Alex doing what they do best....playing a seriously good selection of records.

And just to prove what i mean by a seriously good selection of records, check out the below player for a promo mix knocked up by Benedict Bull in anticipation of the return of this legendary party. Full party deets at the bottom of the page and on their web space here.




Walk The Night Returns!

Resident DJs Alex Egan & Benedict Bull

Tief Launch party + Mix download

Got two big DJ Sneaks coming up next week from graphics and illustration man HeyGus and DJ duo This & That but today we're going to bring in the weekend with details of one of the freshest new parties to be hitting London town accompanied with an equally fresh mix.

Photobucket

Tief launches at Corsica studios this Saturday 24th September and will be bringing some outstanding line ups to our fine city over the coming months. Captained up by our fellow Trouble Vision resident Matt Hesseltime, Tief will be focusing on the deeper and more melodic end of the house spectrum. This Saturday's opener sees Dial co founder Laurence heading up the proceeds alongside Dutch new skooler Tom Trago, Melbourne's deep disco fiend Tornado Wallace, London's very own Jozif and a host of our favorite people of the moment including Greymatter, Bicep and Casino Times. Residents Matt Hesseltime, Thick As Thieves and John Malcolm Moore will also be on duty to keep things in check.

John Malcolm Moore (left) and Matt Heseltime (right) will be keeping things sweaty.

DJ Sneaks #15 Kitsch & Sync

Our latest DJ Sneaks mix for your ears today sent over by Mr Josh Panton. Josh... a highly skilled rave promoter, party purveyor and all round top bloke has put the mix together to showcase the sound of his new bi monthly party venture Kitsch & Sync which will next be taking place at Bar a Bar in stoke Newington on Saturday the 1st October. The venture is being being run by Josh and a rabble of other highly qualified party organising veteran as an excuse to get a proper Sunday party style house music vibe on a more accessible (work on Mondays tends to ruin a Sunday party for me at least) day of the week and more importantly without breaking the wallet.

Entry will be free but guest list only (We'll come to that shortly) and they have also taken the running of the bar for their events into their own hands keeping prices at a minimum. Expect cocktails at near on cost price and a balloon bar as well. Full details and flyer at the bottom of the page and Facebook event page here where you can get your name down on that list.


Josh's Kicks-

A hard worn but very classic pair of Nike Dunk Low Safaris.

Photobucket

Josh sent though quite possibly the best blurb we've been sent yet with a DJ Sneaks image so I'll let his words tell you what you need to know.

"The sneaks were my favourite shoes in the whole universe when I bought them and I only very recently gave them their funeral at Secret garden Party. Nike Dunk Low Safaris. A very rich man once offered me £300 when high on pills at Corsica studios to buy them off me + a taxi fare home to Streatham as obviously Id be leaving shoeless. I turned him down, the £300 would have gone a long way but these trainers are gonna stay with me forever. In their hay day they were without doubt the flyest shoes on the planet. Now they look old & disheveled but wink like an old man in a chair reminiscing over his philandering days."


Josh's Mix.
A mix of slow sexy grooves building up to some meaty heads down house later on. This is what he had to say about it. "Mixed at 8 am after getting home, on my turntables. No funny business, just Serato & records. A vein and slightly tipsy attempt to try and showcase the music from Kitsch & sync."

Track List-
1-True Romance - CD Version David August
2-Passion feat. Mr. White - DJ T. Remix Phreek Plus One
3-Gonzales - Original jozif
4-Thinking Of You - Original Soulade
5-Oasis - Jozif Remix Shonky
6-Dee-p Nothing - Lazaro Casanova Miami Vice Remix Michael Mclardy
7-Gentle Doubt - Original Mix Andre Lodemann
8-Ultravision feat. Jaw - Original Mix Seuil
9-Face It - Leftside Wobble Re-Edit Master C&J
10-Mr. Duke - Original Mix Sebo K

Oli D.A.B & Robin Presents On London Fields Radio

Thought it's about time we had something from us up here as we haven't posted a mix in a while due to us both being stupidly busy with gigs and the toils of modern life and its far past needed.

On Saturday afternoon pre Trouble Vision we made the journey up to the lovely Wilton Way Cafe in London Fields to record our first show for London Fields Radio.

Photobucket

London Fields Radio still in it's very early days has managed to set things up very nicely with the booth and recording desk positioned in a cosy window corner of the Cafe bringing an element of bustling Hackney on a sunny afternoon to the recording. After a few initial technical issues ( and us probably needing to sort out mic volumes for the next show) we managed to get our heads round the desk and put together this first show. Bit ruff around the edges but we now can't wait to get on to the next show hopefully in the next few weeks. We'll keep you posted with dates for that one as the Wilton Way Cafe coffee is unbelievably good, so even if it's not to say hello, you should swing by for the chilled afternoon house music and a large cup of strong coffee.

Have a listen on the Mix Cloud player below and check out the London Fields Radio podcasts here (new web site coming soon)

Also....Spot the mistakes.
Gottwood dates 30th June - 3rd July Tickets here
And the last track is actually Stuffa & David A Tobin - Proof (Wolf+Lamb remix)
Enjoy!
