Oh Fabric, you spoil us! Sweet Jesus this is a pretty line-up. If I were in London tonight there would be absolutely no question where I’d be (although Style of Eye is at The Nest and there is a Christmas offering from consistently superb party-kids Off Modern at the new Peckham Hotel), but our little rave-team is travelling to Manchester for the mighty Warehouse Project once again, to see our favourites Bowski, Fake Blood, Erol, Jacques Lu Cont and Boy 8-Bit.

December weekends have sweeeet DJs playing all over our fair city. Tomorrow there’s a Numbers warehouse party with Jamie XX, Steve Lawler‘s at Hearn Street Car Park for Onemore birthday, The Revenge is adding some disco goodness to the Horse and Groom, Shaun Reeves, Clockwork and Thugfucker are playing at Fabric, Hey Today! Are at Queen of Hoxton for Orlando Boom.

Sunday The Lock are proving themselves legendary once again, with Fake Blood, Riton
In a pub? For free? Can this be real?

Peace – BBlood (Wax Cotton Remix)
Beni – Someone Just Like You (Style Of Eye Remix)
Cevin Fisher – Music in My Soul (Jamie Jones More Dance Edit)
Claude Vonstroke – Who’s Afraid of Detroit(MunniBrotherz 2011 rework)
Little Boots – Shake (Azari & III remix)
The Opiates – Reality TV (Drop Out Orchestra Dub)
Electronic – Getting Away With It (Greg Wilson edit)

In music news, we were pleased to hear this week that Filthy Dukes‘ second album is almost wrapped up. Take a listen to this beauty (remind me to post the free download when they give it away on the Fabric Blog in the next couple of weeks)

In celebration of Monday 5 December’s release of Fabric61, the latest in the legendary compilation series, mixed by Visionquest, Fabric are giving us a little taster video.

Orlando Boom has brought some pretty fiesty line-ups to Queen of Hoxton in the last year or so, so I had high expectations for prime-time December party weekend slots. They haven’t let us down; this Saturday 3 December they’ve got Aussie legends Hey Today! Last time we saw these two was a storming set that stole the night at Fabric last year, and this weekend they join We’re Not Cool while The Lovely Jonjo plays upstairs.

I’m really excited to see Will of our absolute favourites Joe and Will Ask’s new project Wax Cotton too. Whoop!

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.

Sorry we didn’t bring you a Halloween special last week folks, but Emily and I travelled up to Manchester for a double-header at The Warehouse Project, and frankly with Jamie Jones, Jamie XX, Jesse Rose, Julio Bashmore, Four Tet, Hessle Audio, Homework, Oliver $ and Seth Troxler on the decks, nothing in London could come close.

We’re heading out of town again this week, down to the South Coast for the Dirtybird All-Nighter at Audio in Brighton tonight, with the lovely Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin and Eats Everything. However, if you’re in London they’re doing the whole thing over again at Fabric tomorrow, and tonight you can content yourselves with WildKats at Basing House, and Jesse Rose at The Nest. There’s a lot on this weekend elsewhere too, with the legends that are Puente & Rosch playing at Basing House for Dented Melons, The Juan Maclean album launch party at Queen of Hoxton, and Catz n Dogz gracing the decks at Corsica Studios. We can’t attend any of this crazy fun (until post 1.30 anyway) because Vaults are back on the decks all night at The Hospital club, and you can come and see us for free by emailing your guest list names to minnie@onefromthevaults.co.uk. We’re on the top floor so there should be a pretty good view of the fireworks alongside some dark and dirty tunes.

Oh and if you’re still raring to go on Sunday (and I’ve seen the crowd at these Sunday parties, a very low percentage of them have been to bed) Creche has a stellar line-up once more, with Laura Jones and Waifs & Strays at Queen of Hoxton.

Here are some of this week’s freebies to help you get ready for the weekend.
Lana Del Ray – Blue Jeans (Penguin Prison Remix)
Duran Duran – Girls On Film (Drop Out Orchestra Rework)
Canyons – See Blind Through (DJ Harvey Remix)
Mighty Mouse – Ice Beer (Bootleg Version)
Till von Sein – Sassomon
Kele – Goodbye Horses (Q Lazzarus Cover)

This week we’re getting it all for free, free tracks, free parties, with free line-ups that will blow your mind. This begins in earnest tonight, with the most ridiculous list of names ever – check out the flyer:

I mean hell-the-fuck-ohhhhh! The venue only holds 400, and you’re seeing Justice for free, so it will possibly be the most squished you’ve ever been in your whole life. I suggest getting down there about now and setting up camp.

After you’ve unfolded yourself, have a quick nap because you aren’t going to sleep for a while. It’s Fabric 12th birthday and to celebrate they’re putting on one of the legendary On and On…and On parties. It starts at 11pm Saturday and ends 5am on Monday morning. The line-up includes Ricardo Villalobos, Moodymann, Margaret Dygas, Lee Foss, Maya Jane Coles, Pearson Sound and Space Dimension Controller, so it’s a pretty special birthday. Woo!

There are some GREAT free tracks out there this week, and this makes me HAPPY!
Mickey Moonlight – Close To Everything (The Martin Brothers dub)
Metronomy – Everything Goes My Way (Psychemagik Remix)
Kolombo – Endless Summer (Gift Mix)
Miguel Migs – Close Your Eyes (feat. Meshell Ndegeocello) (Salva Remix)
Lil’ Wayne – With You Feat. Drake (Screwed By Brodinski)
MAM – Reel Sweet (the third in the Free EP series from Soul Clap)
MAM – Can’t Live Without Music
Gigamesh – It’s So Intense (Fare Soldi “Enrico Pallazzo” Remix)

Yeah!

Party season’s started, and this weekend there’s a veritable banquet of club nights to choose from. Tonight our favourite Kill Em All returns to Fabric, with Filthy Dukes, Stopmakingme, Jack Beats, Crookers and Style of Eye.

Tomorrow Fabric comes up trumps again with Rebel Rave, with Damien Lazarus, Maceo Plex live, jozif and Art Department. VERY nice. Julio Bashmore‘s at Plastic People for Warm, and Mylo, Breakbot, Monarchy and Maxxi Soundsystem are at XOYO for Scandalism.

Then on Sunday keep yourself going with Creche‘s The Big One, with a 3 hour set from Jamie Jones on the Ministry of Sound terrace, and a 4 hour set from Kerri Chandler inside.

Fabric have done themselves proud this week (Stopmakingme and Death in Vegas live last night, NICE), and in fact the line ups over the next couple of months are pretty damn special (including their 12th birthday On and On from 11pm Saturday 22nd Oct – 5am Monday 24th Oct). Tonight they’re celebrating the Fabric 59 Four Tet issue by hosting Caribou, Four Tet and Jacques Greene in room 1 and Hessle Audio in room 2, and tomorrow they’ve got Jamie Jones and Danny Daze in room 1 and Laura Jones (who we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing yet) in room 3. Now all you need is a tent and a nice warm pitch in their back garden.

Here are some free tunes to keep your Farringdon campsite jumping:
Modern Amusement – Cold As Ice ( TierkratZ Edit ) I’ve heard a few remixes of this track but this one is really very nice indeed.
Tears For Fears/Audionite – Kling Klong Shout [Tommie Sunshine & Disco Fries Bootleg]
Aeroplane – Big Boys Don’t Cry
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Garden (Joe Goddard Remix)
The Magician feat Jeppe – I Don’t Know What To Do (Plastic Plates Remix)
Riva Starr – Sensimilla
Joakim – In Loving Memory – lovely.

Hi all! I feel battered and bruised from a bit of a hefty schedule these last couple of weeks, but normal service has resumed, so it is with pleasure that I bring you Woody’s Roundup.

As far as your going-out options this weekend, we have a clear winner in the form of tonight’s Kill Em All and Phantasy at Fabric. Erol, Switch, Stopmakingme, Filthy Dukes and Jarvis Cocker. Down the road James Murphy is gracing the decks of XOYO for DFA’s 10th Anniversary, and at Basing House in Dalston (still not managed to go there yet) is Tpot, with Inxec and Burnski. Mixmag continue their free party series at the Queen of Hoxton, with Charli XCX and Tim Healey.

Tomorrow night the A Night With… series continues with Miss Kittin at a secret East London venue, and We Fear Silence present Circus Company, with Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts DJing, and Seuil, Sety and D’Julz. The Nest come up trumps again with Lemonade featuring Shake Aletti, whose new Inside Out is the sound of the moment.

There’s so much new stuff out there, but with an awfully long time to wait, so in the mean time I can only throw you some previews. In particular, the newest Jamie Jones remix, of 11:11 Project (Guy Gerber and P Diddy?!?!)’s Tourist Trap. YUM.
