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)

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)

The longest month of the year is finally drawing to a close, and hopefully with it the long drought on the ol’ cash flow. Clubworld has cottoned on to the fact that pay day is soon to shine upon us like a weak and distant sun, and there are quite a few tasty options for the weekend.

So, here we go: tonight go east for A-trak at XOYO for Moda, along with Monarchy, Fenech-Soler and Russ Chimes, or Big in Japan down the road at The Book Club, or further east Aeroplane is playing at The Nest in Stoke Newington. If you like things a little harder Pendulum, Doorly and Joker are playing at Ewer Street car park for Spectrum’s 10th birthday, but it will be cooooold. Tomorrow Mulletover returns to Cable with Sebo K and Crazy P, and Plastic People is well worth a visit for Caribou and Floating Points. At the Queen of Hoxton, Apocalypso features Dekker and Girl Unit – Girl Unit huge for Wut last year, and Dekker killed it at Fabric with his Twin Peaks sample Stop (listen here).

Spanning both nights is Double Trouble Vision at Corsica Studios, tonight with Roska and Roller Express (a collaboration of Toddla T,  Redlight,  Serocee and Drea), and tomorrow with Theo Parrish, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Ramadanman.

There are loads of bits and bobs to listen to on tinterweb this week, including new tracks from Cut Copy‘s Zonoscope album, and Metronomy‘s new video for She Wants, so keep those ears peeled over the weekend, and here are a few little numbers to get you through an afternoon in the office.
Kraftwerk – Computer Love (Remastered)
Cut Copy – Take Me Over (Mylo Remix)
Jesse Rae – d.e.s.i.r.e. [the Deadstock 33s edit]
Jesse Voorn – Somewhere (Bass Kleph Remix)
Vampire Weekend – White Sky (Vamp Dub)
Das Moth – Moon
Death From Above 1979 – Black History Month (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix)
Woody 38. zip
BONUS: Sneak peak at new Fake Blood track Medieval (thanks to Gotta Dance Dirty for this rip).

Do The Dada

“We are Dada Life.

Destroy dance music and have fun. Don’t look back in the past. Always go forward. Don’t think too much. Always follow the money.

Do the Dada.

The result? Big tunes, no frills.”

I think I’m slightly frightened of them in these pictures, but here are Swedish duo Stefan Engblom & Olle Corneér, who are Dada Life, and have been heavy on the European dance scene since their first record on Mylo’s label Breastfed in 2006, touring with Tiësto and the big boys ever since.

Two things I love about them are:
1. Their ‘Guerilla Farts’ website, where they allow free downloads of their edits for their live shows, which must be pretty spectacular as they include all-time-greats such as Boys Noize – Lava Lava.
2. Another example of a share-and-share-alike mentality; their sample and remix packages, all up on their website, along with Top 10 fan remix charts. They simply say “We know that you can do it too. Maybe even better.” We like it.

Here are some very nice examples of their work:
Dada Life – Happy Hands and Happy Feet
Dada Life January Mix 2010, described by the duo as “raw chicken with extra whipped cream. Go lick it!”

They’ve also remixed the excellent Mvsevm – French Jeans; the first release from Discobelle Records.
Mvsevm – French Jeans (Dada Life Remix)

Their album Do The Dada is out The Hours records, and there are LOADS more mixes on their Fairtilizer page.
