Level Four

Mumdance‘s Different Circles began as a podcast of bits from his own collection that he hadn’t heard in a while. That was the only music policy – no genre rules, no particular BPM. He sites John Peel as an influence; ‘the music he played on his shows was always completely disjointed & all over the place, but his selection and good taste held it all together.’

With four of these mixes out in the world Different Circles has evolved into a club night at Queen of Hoxton, as eclectic as the mixtapes, and launching this Saturday night with Esser, Mumdance b2b with LV (the two have a track coming out on Hyperdub in July)

Have a little listen to the latest in the Different Circles series, and we’ll see you on the dancefloor.

Jack Adams AKA Mumdance sent us his latest mix for Triple J radio down under, and it’s a tasty reminder that the Mumdance vs Canblaster EP is on its way (you can hear Say Yes from the EP in this mix).

Full of dirty little Sound Pellegrino cameos, and our new favourites Blawan and NT89, this should also give a little preview of the kind of sound we can expect from Jack’s new series of nights, Different Circles, which started last Thursday at The Nest, with Canblaster and Dillon Francis.

The Mumentum Mix

Mumdance AKA Jack Adams just released The Tarahtid EP on No Hats No Hoods (29 November) and to celebrate he’s done a little mixtape. The Mumentum Mix is so named because it gains speed from 125 to 175 bpm, so you’ll find yourself shaking like a polaroid picture by the end of it.

After the Mumdecent EP on Mad Decent (I hear the next release is for Mad Decent too),Tarahtid returns to Jack’s UK Grime roots with some darker sounds from MCs Trim (formerly of Roll Deep) and Jammer, who tag team on the tile track while Trim holds the reins on What Ima Say Nex. As a bonus track you can download the So Solid Crew 21 Seconds sample So Squalid Instrumental from the EP for free here.

Buy the whole EP here.

Woody’s Roundup

We’re quite excited to get ourselves down to Counter Culture this Saturday – a new venue under the arches at London Bridge (what did we do before there were arches in our lives…) open for 99 days only with a remit to bring art, literature, theatre and clubbing all together under one arched roof. And who better to experience it with than Round Table Knights, Zombie Disco Squad, Christian Martin and Solo.

Here’s why we love them: Round Table Knights – Autumn Mix 2010

Tonight of course we’re starting off the weekend at XOYO for the London leg of the Abracada label tour, with Villa, The Krays, Mustang and The Magician. The lovely James Zabiela plays at East Village for their Bonfire Night special, and That Mixmag Thing #7 at the Queen of Hoxton with Grum and Mumdance. Community have done a blinder again with Plan B, presenting us with Jamie Jones and Le Loup (Wolf+Lamb).

This week’s tracks are a mixed bag as we alternate between good clean Autumn fun, walking around in fallen leaves and feeling all wrapped up, inhaling firework and sparkler dust, to getting ourselves down n’ dirty on a sweaty old dancefloor way past our bedtimes.

Nasty McQuaid – Nasty Pulse (thanks to Off Modern for another amazing night last night)
Andhim – Patty Sue (Super Flu Suncream’s Remix)
Leni Ward – I Want My Heart Back (Sean Eskimo Mix)
Catz n’ Dogz – Sunset in the East (Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts Remix). Catz n’ Dogz’s album Escape From Zoo was released on Mothership on Monday and has been on repeat in the office this week. A good choice of release from Claude VonStroke for his ‘deeper techno label.’

The Glimmers – You Rocked My World
David E Sugar – Flea Market (Third Party Remix)

Neatly packaged: WoodyXXX

Oh my DAYYYZ out tomorrow is the Mitzwa EP by Hickup on Sweat It Out! and it’s very good indeed. Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a bit of woodwind. I mean who isn’t?!

Retro/Grade

Not long after supporting Groove Armada on their recent tour, Retro/Grade are in town again. Tomorrow they join headliners Delphic as well as Filthy Dukes, Sound Pellegrino, resident Krysko and Mumdance on the bill for the Warehouse Project’s first attack on The Big Smoke.

Retro/Grade are Serge Santiago and Tom Neville combining their vast experience in the music game. The blend of the downright dirty electro you hear in Pulsar to the italo-disco ringing through in Escape Sequence partnered with the linear laser sequence of two guys crossing the contours of the globe, and only the symmetry of their Mac Books and cheeky nodding heads on show, makes a night with them a memorising spectacle to remember.

Last year their track Moda won support from many a big player on the clubbing scene, with their new single Escape Sequence dropping just the other week on Deconstruction Records and a series of gigs lined up, including December’s Goldfrapp tour, there’s a lot more in the pipeline yet…

Escape Sequence by Retro/Grade

Retro/Grade sets come at you hard and fast and certainly aren’t for those unaccustomed to sensory overload. If you’re keen, you can grab your free copy of 2009’s Moda here and we’ll see you down the front at Ewer Street tomorrow.

Here’s a sneak preview of what’s in store:

This weekend is another one of those where we’d like to be in three different cities, and three different clubs at once, but instead we’re settling for a three day party, which will probably spill over into Monday and make pre-Halloween zombies of us all. Worth it? YES.

So it all starts tonight with On the One at Concrete with Night Flight (Jac The Disco) and Capita!, whilst over the road Made to Play are at XOYO to celebrate 5 years of the label, with Jesse Rose, Zombie Disco Squad and Idiotproof. If you’re South, Trouble Vision at Corsica sees DJ Zinc, SBTRKT and MJ Cole take to the decks.

Tomorrow The Book Club pits Mumdance against Hold Still for a soundclash, and later on Stopmakingme joins the mighty Erol Alkan and Matt Walsh for Bugged Out’s birthday at XOYO. We Fear Silence brings Theo Parrish to Cable, and Tim Goldsworthy plays for Lostbahnhof at Life. Koko has yet another epic line-up with Mr. Scruff for Ninja Tune XX.

Then Sunday our local Lock Tavern is hosting Kill Em All, with Boy 8-Bit, Justin Robertson and Filthy Dukes. New Stoke Newington venue The Nest sees the launch of Potty Mouth Disco’s Sunday Sessions with Ali Renault. These Sunday parties are free, so swap your roast dinner for a sweaty rave-up, that’s what we say.

Single for the week is The C90s Shine A Light, out today on Relish, and a fitting follow-up to the fantastic 10:01. Whoop!

A-Trak – Ray Ban Vision (feat. CyHi Da Prynce)
Siriusmo – Wow (Modeselektor Edit)
Doorly – Sausage Party Surely everyone’s favourite kind of party???
Escort – Cocaine Blues
Consistent – Ain’t No Bump
Innerpartysystem – And Together (Midnight Conspiracy Remix)
Aphex Twin – Windowlicker (Renaissance Man Bootcut)
Download: Woody XIX

Bonus: Erol Alkan live ‘Ganban’ DJ mix just released on his website.

Come Get Felt Up: Book Club Birthweek

Fetish Circus Life Drawing from Tuesday 19 October

We like birthdays. So, it seems, does The Book Club. They’ve gone one step further and are having ‘birthweek’ events all this week. We’re doing a double-header; Saturday night for Mumdance vs Hold Still (Tim Filthy Duke) and resident DJs for a 3 record soundclash downstairs, which gets dark and evil compared to the relative relaxation of the ping pong and cocktails above ground, then on Sunday music production workshops with Toby Tobias and Om Unit.

There was so much that we quite fancied this week we couldn’t fit it all into a Woody’s Roundup:
Events
Tonight Thursday 21st October: Come Get Felt Up. Craft materials are given out for a creative competition based on the Mexican Day of the Dead. Prizes, cake, DJs and dead celebs.
Friday 22 October: We Can Talk Goes Kitsch. Rum, Rockabilly and Surf Noir with The Bikini Beach Band and resident DJs.
Saturday 23 October: Birthweek Brawl soundclash with Mumdance.
Sunday 24 October: Beats Sunday Roast. Music production sessions.

We all hate the change of season, but it’s a great time musically as the tracks everyone’s been working on over the summer are hitting the stores with a vengeance. This week’s music blew our minds, and made us shout things out loud in the silent office, like ‘bloody yes!’ and ‘get in!’ – forgetting it was a private earphone experience.

If you want to get out this weekend, Cargo tonight has Justin Robertson and Stopmakingme for Filthy Few Presents Nightmoves, and tomorrow Corsica Studios is hosted by Warm for their 11th birthday, with The Revenge, Sebo K, Horse Meat Disco and Cottam. Or you could head North for the weekend and do Bugged Out tonight at Sankeys with Boy 8-Bit and L-Vis 1990 then double up with Ape 5th Birthday at The Warehouse Project tomorrow, with KRS One, Caspa and Andy C. Dark.

There’s a fair bit of mid-week clubbing next week too, as Wednesday sees Kissy Sell Out‘s San City High tour hit East Village with Blamma Blamma! Zed’s Dead and Urchins, and on Thursday the DeadFish crew host their Family and Friends party in its new home in Dalston Superstore.

Hard to summarise this week in seven tracks, but here you go:
Mumdance & Esser – Battle (Wookie Cover) – the Mumdecent EP is out now on Mad Decent and includes Smasher. Yes yes.
Style of Eye & Magnus – Antidote
Slagsmålsklubben & Style of Eye – Homeless
Vhyce – Basement Horns (Yolanda Be Cool Remix)
Visti & Meyland – Yes Maam (All Nite Long) (Trentemoller Remix)
No Regular Play – Owe Me (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Cassius – Les Enfants

Worth the pennies (among about 1 million others at the moment) is ZZT (Zombie Nation and Tiga)’s ZZAfrika, out on Turbo this week. Their catalogue is looking pretty hot right now.
