Tonight Brodinski launches his Fabriclive 60 compilation at Fabric, alongside Stopmakingme, Jacques Lu Cont and Gessafelstein, Chew The Fat! turns 14 at The Nest, with Foamo and Bare Noize, and our good friend Joe Robots is at Egg for The Future Now! with Sinden and The Lovely Jonjo.

Tomorrow Matt Tolfrey, Richy Ahmed, Luca C and Brigante play for Unleash at Paramount in the Centre Point Building, Corsica Studios hosts Stimming, David August and Jay Shepheard for Tief, Fabric says hi to dOP and Dyed Soundroom, and Chopstick & Johnjon and Trickski play for Suol at the Old Truman Brewery Warehouse Space.

Here are a few tracks to warm you up.

The Rapture – In the Grace of Your Love (Theatre of Delays Remix)
Zombie Disco Squad vs The Crime – The Colors
Sandman – No Prisoners (People Get Real Edit)

Manaré – Pearl (Photo Romance Remix)

The lovely Brodinski must have heard that it’s my birthday next Friday 18th November, because he’s kindly decided to come over and play at Fabric for me. Alongside this is another celebration; the launch of his contribution to the mighty Fabriclive mix series, Fabriclive 60: Mixed by Brodinski.

Always the maestro of genre-hopping, Louis says of his mix “I tried to include every track that has change my life over the last two years going from slow motion Techno to R’n'B, from backroom music to Acid House.” The tracklist can vouch for this, including numbers from buddy Riton, Brodinski’s collaborative alter-ego Gucci Vump, and the first EP from Brodinski’s new Bromance label, Gesaffelstein‘s Control Movement.

You can stream the entire mix here.

Warehouse, oh Warehouse, how I love thee… We were quite disappointed after our first ever visit to Manchester Piccadilly’s arches to find that despite being at the front all night we’d not made any of the photographs on The Warehouse Project website.  Then we spotted the little beauty above. That’s commitment.

Essential Mix 2009-11-27: Busy P and DJ Mehdi live at The Warehouse Project

And as for the Ed Banger crew, did I mention that I love Busy P? It still gives me goosebumps when I hear the Essential Mix from The Warehouse Project last year, with Busy P and DJ Mehdi‘s sets recorded live (complete with screams from me throughout). So tomorrow night we wouldn’t be anywhere else than Chibuku Shake Shake at the Warehouse with Vitalic, Busy P, Carte Blanche (Medhi and Riton), Boombass (Cassius), Brodinski and Matt Walsh.

Lots of great electro tracks and remixes this week, so here’s a few of our favourites:
Aeroplane – Without Lies (Breakbot Remix)
Gorillaz – Doncamatic (Joker Remix)
Daft Punk – Derezzed (Breakdown Remix)
The Subs vs Les Petits Pilous – My Body
Thom Yorke – Nude (Justin Martin Remix)
Boys Noize – Nerve (Hey Today Remix)
Kelis – Bossy (Crookers Remix)

I sometimes find that time nowadays is distilled into an endless list of dates I must remember. Largely Fridays and Saurdays, they are scrambled in my brain as a stream of numbers, obliterating what falls in between them. For example, November is 5,6,12,18,19 and 27 (at the moment), as I desperately try to remember that I’ve made plans on those nights and therefore MUST not drunkenly say yes when people suggest wonderful line-ups and club nights to me. Then once in a while a night will come along with a line-up so immense that it blows all tentative (and sometimes already booked) alternatives out of the water.

Abracada‘s London visit is just one of those nights. When writing this post I had to note down all the names on the flyer as by the time I’d got to the bottom there were so many I’d forgotten the ones at the top, and with Renaissance Man as a bonus special guest accompanying The Krays, The Aikiu, Villa, Mustang, The Magician, MikIX the Cat and Pilooski, it’s a busy billing. Like the label itself the night is an interesting mix of disco (Villa, The Magician and Mustang), hip-hoppy breaks (The Krays) and heavier electro (MikIX the Cat and Renaissance Man), and it contains all my favourite people.

The  next two releases are the remixes of Villa’s Beats of Love, including interpretations from Mylo and Hannulelauri, out 22 November and Mustang’s Apocalypso EP out 13 December. Surrounding this the label have been on tour over in the US and are heading to Europe, with Paris Social Club this Thursday and XOYO for us on Friday (remember remember the fifth of November, right?). Here are some selected highlights (that we haven’t already posted) to give you a taste:

The Magician – Magic Tape Four
Findlay Brown – Promised Land (Villa Remix)
MikX the cat – The Key (Kingdom Remix)
Valérie Dore – The Night (Mustang Re-Dit)

It’s the time of year when we really start to think about relocating to Australia. Heading into a blistering Summer while we shiver our way through the next six months, Bang Gang releasing great mix after great mix, and enticing a ridiculous lineup of bands and DJs for Parklife festival, which travels during late September/early October from the Gold Coast to Perth to Melbourne to Sydney, finishing in Adelaide. I mean who could forget the legendary party videos from Busy P last year “I am going to arrive on stage with just my skateboard and my smile and my records.”

Woody’s Roundup: Field Day

Posted on by
Reply


Let me back up! Field Day has now held its place firmly on the music-loving Londoner’s radar for 4 years. Slightly slow out of the blocks, we first got involved in 2008; a superbly messy affair. Our Field Days have been plagued by the weather that typifies Glastonbury, but also energised by the atmosphere that makes it. Perhaps 2010 is the year the drenched festival curse will be broken in Victoria Park too?

Field Day 2010 will mark our hat-trick, so it may come as no surprise that we thought we’d jump on the Field Day warm-up bandwagon and put out a little post for you all. As suspected, in writing this, one of the most exciting things about Field Day has been looking back. The promoters and programmers are like the Mystic Megs of modern music. Scrolling through the line-ups from 2007-2009, they read like the boards of a rather successful bookie:

2007 – Bat for Lashes, Florence and the Machine, Caribou, Filthy Dukes, Foals, Justice, Late of the Pier, Zombie Disco Squad.
2008 – Brodinski, Crookers, Magistrates, Simian Mobile Disco, White Lies, Wild Beasts.
2009 – Aeroplane, Big Pink, Delphic, Errors, Fake Blood, Mumford & Sons, Santigold, The Temper Trap, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

At the time, it was all those people you’d never stumbled across before. Or, that you only had a sort of an inkling you might like. Then, maybe like us, you just had a little wander over, just to see what the blogosphere fuss was really about and all of a sudden you were a fan!

The 2010 spectacle is already complemented by the more ‘commercial’ resurgence in Electronic music. Upward climbing artists, perhaps most notably, names like Egyptian Hip Hop, Gold Panda, Hudson Mohawke, Memory Tapes, Mount Kimbie, Pantha Du Prince, Phoenix and Tensnake stand side by side as equals with their lesser known counterparts, and long-established champions of emerging music (Andrew Weatherall, Erol Alkan, Kieran Hebden, James Holden…). The range of stages caters for every fan, from the Small Disco drinkers of the Lock Tavern to the all-night ravers of the city’s disused east-end Car Parks and Karate Clubs. This, in turn, draws a crowd of hungry young trend setters eager to get a taste of the future legends of our generation.

So, in appreciation of the event’s keen eye for the charts of new and their sure fire tip-offs for the future, we have put together 2 little Zip packages for our Friday-weekly Woody’s Roundup. Links and track lists are below, plus a couple of our favourite mixes from the vaults for good measure. We hope you like it. It should provide some stereo fodder for the prelude, the after party and the recovery should you so require…

See you tomorrow.

There’s a little disco-exchange programme going on this weekend between Britain and our oh-so-chic Belgian neighbours. We’ve leant Brussels one of our crown jewels, Monsieur Rory Phillips, to play alongside Mustang at Libertine Supersport at the K-Nal club, and they’ve sent over a case of two of their finest exports, Aeroplane and Villa, playing at Together at the Coronet. Moda and Aeroplane are hosting rooms one and two respectively; resulting in two lineups guaranteed to move your derrière.

In other news, Stag & Dagger take over Shoreditch for another year of art and music, and Fabric is hosting the Crosstown Rebels. Jamie Jones and Damien Lazarus until the sun is well and truly up at 8am. Last but not least, there’s a free Ed Banger party at Life in Old Street tomorrow to celebrate the launch of the Mickey Moonlight Love Pattern EP.

The prize for busiest DJ this week goes to Louis Brodinski. The first EP from The Krays (Brodinski and Yuksek), Ready When You Are (feat. Ebony Bones) was released this week on the shiny new Abracada label (my label to watch this Summer), and the wait is finally over for the release of Arnold Classics on Sinden’s Grizzly label. Brodinski’s playing tonight with our good friends Eskimo Twins at Wax:On at the Mint Club in Leeds.

I haven’t included tracks, as this week it’s all about mixes mixes mixes….
The standard of these is so high I didn’t want you to miss any of them.
Mustang Mixture May 10 (CosyMozzy)
Aeroplane Chart Mix May 2010

Many great acts are gracing London Town with their presence this weekend, but two things you need to get your special little selves down to: Number one is of course Kill Em All at Fabric tonight, with a ridiculous lineup: Brodinski in Room 1 with Filthy Dukes, Midnight Juggernauts, Silver Columns and Stopmakingme, and in Room 2 Carte Blanche (Riton and DJ Mehdi ) and Jamaica. Number two is The Wolf + Lamb Experience, with Gadi Mizrahi, No Regular Play and my personal favourites Soul Clap at a secret location on Saturday. Sure to be uber-super-hyper-cool. Also highly recommended are the Late of the Pier takeover of the Old Queen’s Head tonight, and did someone say James Zabiela was playing the Mixmag party at the Queen of Hoxton?!

Gomma have released Le Le‘s Le Classics album this week, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying their radio show as a little taster. It’s worth a download for some tasty old electro, content from the new album, and sheer amusement value.
Le Le – Le Radioshow

“We would like to welcome you to a journey inside your sexual, crazy, cosmic being.”
Uh oh.

Here are some tracks that will get you in the mood for this weekend’s events: Woody IX
Nalin & Kane – Beachball (Joris Voorn Remix)

Holy Ghost! – Say My Name
The Krays feat. Ebony Bones – Ready When You Are (DJ Mehdi Remix)
