Woody’s Roundup

Friday hangover part III (apparently it was my idea to start adding Jaeger into the mix in the early hours of this morning), and it’s all thanks to our good friends Lunar, who brought the mighty Blawan to The Nest (Moby‘s playing there on Saturday) last night with Goulcher and Waylayers. This is going to be a monthly night so we’ll post the details for the next one and you can come and join us.

For hair-of-the-dog healing there’s an impressive array of nightclubbing around the capital this weekend, starting with That Mixmag Thing’s first birthday tonight at The Queen of Hoxton, with Layo and Bushwaka! In Flagranti and Julio Bashmore. For FREEEEEE.

Tomorrow there’s an ultra trendy Love Fever party at Shoreditch Studios, and Fake Blood, Boy 8-Bit and Bowski play at XOYO for Bugged Out, which, needless to say, is going to be BIIIIIIG. Mulletover celebrate their 7th birthday by doing what they do best; a great big dirty rave at the Great Suffolk Street warehouse. Get Physical take over Fabric, with their all-stars Catz n Dogz, Heidi and M.A.N.D.Y. BUT what excites me the most, is the re-launch of Steve Lawler‘s Harlem Nights, moved of course from it’s old home The End to 7 – 9 Crucifix Lane (what was the excellent Counter Culture, great venue). Whoop!

Put on your dancing shoes we’re going to the disco.

It’s a busy week for music submissions too – UNKLE have their new EP Only the Lonely out on Monday, SebastiAn released the first single Embody from his album Total, which I can’t wait for, out in May on Ed Banger, and Holy Ghost! gave us single Wait and See as a taster of their self-titled album, out on Tuesday on DFA. Bibio‘s much-awaited sixth album Mind Bokeh is out on Warp records on Monday, and you can hear single Excuses here.
SebastiAn – Embody
Holy Ghost! – Wait and See
Sophia Somajo – Wristcutters Inc (Style of Eye Dub Mix)
TV on the Radio – Will Do (XXXChange Dancehall Mix)
Yello – Oh yeah (Tom Staar Remix)
Yacht – Dystopia
Dirty Vegas – Change (In Flagranti mix)
Snug as a bug in a rug: Woody 45

Woody’s Roundup

Friday has arrived! After an eventful week where Coogan fought Clarkson and we had our first glimpse of real sun, I’m ready for a party, are you?

While Minnie is up in the mountains, clubland, believe it or not, must go on… Tonight, another sterling line-up graces The Nest, with Julio Bashmore, Riva Starr, Oli D.A.B. & Robin, Rachel Barton & Nockall, but it is Saturday that has all the fun this week. Floating Points and Ramadanman are at Cable, Plumps DJs are back with Herve and Mumdance at XOYO, and the mysterious Love Fever returns to another secret Dalston venue. Last but not least, our favourites Public House have the next in their series of special guests and UK debuts; Norwegian Terje Bakke takes to the decks at Nomad, Old Street. Right then, let’s party!

Today’s tracks are a mixed bag, but it’s been that sort of a week…

Canblaster – Clockworks
Darabi – Truckin (The Love Supreme Reversion)
Detroit Grand Pubahs – Sandwiches (Danny Daze Soughdough Jack Mix) – Danny’s been getting some love on the airwaves this week with his track Fall Away From Love.
Golden Bug & Rodion ft. Lavinia Claws – Washing Machine (Bottin’s Spin Cycle)
Gucci Mane – Brand New (Rustie Remix)
Metronomy – She Wants

One for good luck ahead of tonight: Hey Love (Rachel Barton & Nockall re-edit)  – Dennis Ferrer vs. Riva Starr vs. Donna Summer

All zipped up – Woody39

As darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand, creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize your neighbourhood.

Tonight 29th October
Delphic play at The Warehouse Project London at Ewer Street Car Park with Filthy Dukes, Retro/Grade and  Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team (their new mix wins a prize for the most original title: Post Time-Travel Nosebleed. Hear it here).

The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of forty thousand years, and grizzly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom…

Tomorrow 30th October
Mulletover have their fancy dress party at a secret warehouse location. They’ve got Steve Bug, Seth Troxler and Ewan Pearson, but it’s sold out, so beware. There is an after party though on actual Halloween from 6am- 11am at Hidden in Vauxhall.
Neon Noise Project have taken over Hearn Street Car Park with Digitalism and Jac The Disco and Late of The Pier Djs. Another spooktacular lineup, another sell-out, but you can get tickets on the door if you get down there early.
Winterwell festival’s putting on a Victorian Villains party with our friends The Jinks at Village Underground.
If you’re in South London get yourselves down to The Rest Is Noise for the third Wholemeal + Spacetime: TRICK OR BEAT, with Addison Groove, Peverelist, Brackles and Esselle.
For you Westies: Black Rabbit’s 4th Birthday sees Severino, Buckwacka! and Tape to Tape at Mason’s Arms in Harrow Road.
Love Fever are hosting one of their secret Dalston Warehouse Parties, and Electric Minds are having one of their loft parties, with James Priestley and Giles Smith. Special vibes at both of these parties.

Sunday 31st October
The Lock Tavern will never let us down. This week Bok Bok is playing for FACT mag and it’s freeeeeee.

And though you fight to stay alive your body starts to shiver, for no mere mortal can resist, the evil of the thriller.

Gesaffelstein – Variations. Another outstanding release from Turbo. Go Tiga. (This version is very low quality. Buy it louder on 9 November)
Kisses – Kisses (Stopmakingme Remix)
Chemise – She Can’t Love You (Tronik Youth Lovedit)
Lorenz Rhode feat. Snax – Something Hot (Savage Skulls Remix)
Gold Panda – You (Cassettes Won’t Listen Remix)
Boys Noize – Sweet Light (Boris Dlugosch Remix)

Out this week on Beatport is DeadFish Remixed, including the excellent Round Table Knights remix of Solo‘s Joga Bola. Rave piano at its best.

So go forth this weekend and frighten.

One of my favourite parts of the weekend is the getting ready ritual: mainly the part where you pour yourself a LARGE vodka, crank up the stereo and dance around your bedroom. The perfect soundtrack for this is Zombie Disco Squad, and this week we have just the mix:

Zombie Disco Squad live in Mexico City – July 2010

Jacques Renault and Wolf + Lamb in one place, especially when that place is a secret one in Dalston; now that sounds like a Love Fever party to me…Get your dirty selves down there tomorrow for some debauched disco. Then drop by Fabric as they go On and On until 2pm Sunday with Ricardo Villalobos. And as for tonight, do you know what? We’re going to have a little rest.

Woody turns 21 today, so in celebration, here’s your twenty-first zip file: Woody XXI.
Brought to you by:
Reporter – Claw Shaw (Runaway remix)
Marina and the Diamonds – Oh No! (Jaymo Andy George’s Moda mix)
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand (O-God remix)
Jazzbit – Sing Sing Sing (Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP Remix)
Florence and the Machine – Swimming
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – Spottie YES!!!
