WELL FIT

It has been a few weeks now since we threw Loose Fit a record launch party. It was very very hot and busy and loud. In short it was pretty fucking ace actually. Coma smashed some proper techno, Loose Fit did their thing, slowed down vocals, disco, slamming house and dubstep flavours riddled their set that was also jam packed with free style vocals and original material and hand gestures.. twas a sight to behold.

On top of that a whole host of Join the Dots residents filled in the gaps between the big guns. Benoit and Namedrop - dropped african vibez and disco sleaze. Joe Jackson on warm up duties got the place so hot I was forced to smokle lots of fags outside and Donaghy whilst playing some utterly splendid music, confused everyone with the change of position.










We did record the set but despite managing to rig up (the following information may not be factually corect) 9 keyboards, 14 microphones, 3 drum machines, 4 turntables, 2 CDJ's and a bucket of beer, the recording came out sounding like when I used to hear my old man fart through the bathroom door when he was taking a piss. Not actually fart through the door mind, there was no holes but just the sound of the wind being passed when heard from the other side of the door?

Whilst we obviously mourned the loss of the recording of this timeless, never to be repeated moment in music history, we luckily have a pretty wonderful lil bootleg, mash-up rewind, re-imagination of Simon and Garfunkle's Mrs Robinson that was cooked up by Danny and Johnny (Loose Fit) to give away to you all for nowt.

Just sign up HERE and you can get the track for nada and you will also get info on our next party, releases, competitions and a whole heap of amazingthings ;)

International bright young things

Berlin was and still is famous for techno, whether it be industrial or minimal, in Tresor or Berghain, gay or straight, Berlin and techno go hand in hand like Benoit and I across a dance floor!

This weekend myself and the diminutive Frenchman will be upping roots away from London's east end to ply our very own brand of non-techno orientated music at HottBoxx, a party in a basement in Berlin's artistic hinterland that is Kreuzberg.

Kreuzberg is in the old west German part of Berlin, it was the poor suburb that was squashed up against the wall. Since the wall came down it has developed as the creative hub of the city, paired with Mitte and Friedrichshain as the focal point of artistic endeavour that rings the Parlimentary and Governmental centre of the city.

As part of our little tour (one date does not a tour maketh) Berlin based musical information distributers Pulse radio have hosted a lil mix that myself and Benny Reich have done.

Listen and feel Berlinearic

RIOT GRRRL!

Our lil lady, the rose amongst the old gnarled thorns that is Join the Dots has put together a bit of mini mix - up.

You can hear her dolcit tones on our regular podcasts that can be found Here

In the meantime, get yourself a drink, remove your shirt (no matter whether you be man or lady)turn it up loud and pretend you are in Berghain... one tip though, going to the toilet will be less dangerous but also exceedingly less interesting
