The Hot Natured New Year’s Day party at new superclub Pulse in Blackfriars was everything we’d come to expect – a sunny sunny vibe (complete with rainbow lasers and plastic palm trees) despite the January chill outside and a line up to blow your socks off. Miguel Campbell, Maceo Plex, Richy Ahmed, Art Department, Robert James and ending with Lee Foss and Jamie Jones as Hot Natured with Ali Love on vocals.
One of the standout sets was an early one by Russ Yallop, and this podcast has been helping me to re-live some of the highlights of the night, complete with heavy basslines and some storming edits of the likes of Donna Summer (Yallop’s remix of Louie Fresco‘s So Good, forthcoming on the excellent No.19 music). Guaranteed to blow the cobwebs away.

So tomorrow One From The Vaults makes its last trip to the ever-epic Warehouse Project in Manchester, before they finally close the doors on Piccadilly car park on 1 January. We started going in 2008 and it’s been an absolutely amazing four years. It has completely dominated our winters – from buying a million tickets in September, to knocking off work early on a Friday to get drunk on the train on the way up, drinks in the Northern Quarter and popping to the Christmas markets beforehand (and our new love, the North Pole bar – a temporary MDF igloo serving hot boozy apple-juice-and-cinnamon cocktails, which you sip under a rug on a sofa next to a ten foot tall polar bear), checking in huge rucksacks of warm clothing for the morning (sorry door staff), then finally huddling in Manchester station from 5am – 8am for the first train to take us back home again.
Such a huge amount of effort and our friends might think we’re a bit crazy, but there are no words to describe the feeling when you walk in and you can see a flash of light and hear the bass thud from behind an archway, or exploring for the first half hour as there are so many rooms with different vibes, or how many friends we’ve made there, or how emotional it feels when someone drops an epic bassline and those lights in the main room light up everyone’s faces. All the Essential Mixes (complete with our screams embarrassingly immortalised), all the new tracks we’d never heard before, all the ridiculous conversations in the smoking area, all the after-parties including the first year where we microwaved socks and set a kitchen on fire. Of all the places we travel to for clubbing (Miami, Ibiza, Berlin) this club is by far my favourite, and I’ll be very sorry to say goodbye. Keep up the good work WHP, it’s been a pleasure.
So anyway, we’re going up there tomorrow for Rebel Rave with Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Art Department, Robert James, Damian Lazarus and TEED live, but down here there are some big ol’ knees-ups worth getting your little bums down to. Tonight The Future Now continues its strong line-ups at Egg, with Hannah Holland, Dexter Kane and Warboy, and tomorrow Warm at Bussey Warehouse is soundtracked by Pearson Sound and Ben Ufo for Hessle Audio. XOYO tomorrow has Mylo, Villa and Joakim take to the decks, and You Are We has Laura Jones and Adam Shelton at Village Underground.
Some very nice free downloads as Christmas offerings from our favourite DJs this week. Thanks in particular to Jozif and WildKats, who have been giving away an entire series of edits from their DJ sets:
Little Dragon – Crystalfilm (Close Remix)
Wolfgang – Stay And Defend (The Magician Remix)
Leftfield – Not Forgotten (Eats Everything Rework)
Jozif – Thrill Her
Josif – Rollin’
WildKats – Signs (Prince Edit)
WildKats – Whats Goin On (Daft Punk Edit)
Once in a while it’s important to take a little time to relax of a weekend, particularly in between the final gasps of the late summer and the madness that is Christmas party season (which, as we all know, is well underway by November). So we’re officially taking tonight off.
For those of you who are on-duty, I’d say get yourselves down to The Nest for Neon Noise Project, with Punks Jump Up (whose November mix is very nice – get it here). Saturday at The Nest is damn good too, with The C90s (whose excellent November mix is also for download here).
Alternative Saturday night fun can be found at Basing House, who seem to be going from strength to strength on their line-ups, and I’ve still yet to step over the threshold (despite being a regular at Trailer Trash back in its On The Rocks incarnation). This week Robert Owens takes to the decks. Elsewhere there’s a Lovefever Yacht Club party, Nina Kravitz plays at Factory 7 (formerly Hearn Street Car Park) for Jaded’s 7th Birthday, Plump DJs are playing at XOYO.
Here are some of this week’s free download offerings – thanks to Jamie Jones in particular for his re rub, which he tells us is going to be the first of a few free tracks over the coming weeks.
Cécile – Ecstatic
Treasure Fingers – Take My Hand
Jamie Jones vs Heaven 17 – Penthouses RE RUB
Young Dreams – Young Dreams
Manix – Feel Real Good (Doorly Pigeonhole This! Booty) Vocal
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – Simple Girl (Tiger & Woods Remix)
Dro Carey – Promothug

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)

There was a time when all the Waifs & Strays releases were relegated to the annoying ‘not out for ages’ list. But it seems ‘ages’ is upon us; after the release of Be Patient last week on Bristol label Futureboogie, now Body Shiver is here. We first heard it on Jamie Jones‘s Fabric 59, and it’s fitting that his Hot Creations label should be the ones to release it, with the B sides Eat Into My Soul and a Jamie Jones/Lee Foss Hot Natured remix of the title track. A very nice vinyl package – buy it here.

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. Miguel Campbell is playing at the Horse and Groom for Coconut Ritz, and Lovebox are putting on a Bang The Box night at the Kentish Town Forum, with Modeselektor, Boy 8 Bit and Siriusmo.
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.
Here are a few freebies from this week:
Clubfeet – Last Words (The C90s mix)
Toro y Moi – All Alone (MANIK edit)
Tyson – After You’re Gone (Joe Goddard Remix)
Convaire – The New You
Simone Fedi – Bitter Devotion (Ewan Pearson BandAPella)
Hannulelauri: Europa (Dub)
Cadillac – Make you feel (Marcos Cabral Remix)

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.
26th August 2011. Essential New Tune: 11:11 — Tourist Trap (Jamie Jones Remix) by PeteTongsEssentialNewTune
Here are a few free-download goodies for the weekend:
Shake Aletti – Inside Out (Toy Tigers Remix)
Newcleus – Jam On It (MANIK Taped Up edit)
Atari Teenage Riot – Black Flags
Ambassadors – Rössler
The Whip – Secret Weapon (Alex Metric Remix)
Most of the posts I write on this blog are a cross between ‘I love this track!’ and ‘something new is coming out from someone we love.’
Only once in a while do I write about a record label, and when I do it’s because everything they do is so fantastic that I cannot NOT give them credit any longer. It’s lovely when the label is the link across loads of great tracks, because you know where to look for more gems, and it reflects the excellent tastes of the label owner/founder.
That man is Lee Brinx, and yesterday his label Lower East released one of his own EPs, Over You, featuring remixes from Robert James and my current favourites WildKats (Lower East also released WildKats’ debut EP, Addict For You). The previous release was the excellent Kitchens and Bathrooms EP from Alexis Raphael, featuring remixes from Richy Ahmed and Lee Foss.
Lee Brinx, Cozzy D & Ed Kane (Kanio/Dexter Kane), launched the label in June 2010, with a release every month since, including their own notable numbers in the catalogue – namely Dexter Kane’s Dex Appeal on the From The Ground Up EP, and Cozzy D’s My Mistress on the Bit On The Side EP.
The White Isle, it seems, is to thank for this forward-thinking outlook, as Lee sites a trip to Ibiza over the Millenium as cementing the change from guitar bands to decks, and he started playing in clubs from the age of 17. Now based in East London he is a resident at Creche, the infamous Sunday parties at 93 Feet East, Queen of Hoxton and other venues with open space. The next is ‘The Big One’ with Jamie Jones and Kerri Chandler on 9 October at a secret location from noon until midnight.
It’s a little bit of sunshine on the rooftops of Lower East London.
