Vaults gonna sort you out
Two from the vaults are playing two dirty little parties this weekend and we can’t wait. The first is for Gimmick Records, an all-day party at 93 Feet East and the second of a monthly series of nights headed by label-boss Coxswain Dado Rey, joined by special guests The Monkey Brothers. We attended the last one and it was ridiculous – just when you thought tech-house couldn’t get any more tech and you couldn’t bounce any longer…
The second party is a Carnival celebration, as our good friends The Jinks present Carnival Jam at Cherryjam in Royal Oak. They absolutely made our Carnival last year and Dan and Chris are some of the few people I know able to reconcile a love for all things electro with smily hands-in-the-air tunes so it’s sure to be electric. You can get half-price tickets here.
See you on the dancefloor.
High Jinks
Notting Hill Carnival was an unexpected sparkling delight of a weekend, and one that seems far away from the darkness and showers creeping over us as September draws in. Two people who soundtracked our weekend, and who bring Carnival to West London all year round are Dan Savidge and Chris Gau, collectively known as The Jinks.
Releasing on MN2S and Defected, and more recently their own Defected imprint Jinks Inc (whose first signing was legendary Byron Stingily), they’ve been friends for a million years and making records together for five.
This mix is described by Dan as “a collection of tracks that we don’t get to play out when we DJ, but really love, and wanted to put on one mixtape.” It’s been on my stereo for the whole week for gems like Fries and Bridges‘s vocals, Dixie Yure‘s sax, and DJ Gregory‘s piped afro-beats and tribal chants. Of course, it goes without saying that my absolute favourite on there is The Jinks’ own What Happened To Us.
Their latest release is an 8-track remix sampler Jinks Inc Remixed including Jose Carretas and N’Dinga Gaba providing takes on Jinks tracks, and catch them playing out at their monthly residency at Cherry Jam in Bayswater. For loads more in the way of classic house and high jinks subscribe to their podcast here.
