So it’s that wonderful time of year when Lovebox is upon us, and I’m pretty sure i’ll be ducking out of the office early for Busy Pictionary and Carte Blanche on the Ed Banger Stage and Metronomy and Beardyman on the Main Stage. And as for Sunday, most fun line-up ever?
It’s RA‘s tenth anniversary, so to celebrate they’re throwing ten RA X parties with epic lineups in ten cities all over the place, including a mystery guest ‘X.’ We’re lucky enough to be attending at Sonar next week, and the one over here is tomorrow night at Cable. A Night With…Heidi heads to Bar A Bar in Stoke Newington, and Trouble Vision continues being truly great, with Tensnake and Lee Foss at Corsica Studios.
The first of our May Bank Holidays and, as expected, there is a Summer theme to the events planned. Cue the use of our favourite type of venue; the car park.
Last night the DeadFish Audio gang celebrated Mowgli’s birthday in the best way they know how, by throwing a huge party at Public Life. The secret guest was no less than Groove Armada, and the atmosphere was pretty electric as the crowd – hanging off every ledge in the place – joined Solo in singing Happy Birthday. I think there might be a few sore heads this morning.
Eastern Electrics at the Union Car Park in Great Suffolk Street The Revenge is performing at the Horse and Groom in Shoreditch – it’s a barbeque all day, then music until 3am. Not bad!
As if that wasn’t enough, the crazy crew at Fabric are repeating their marathon session On & On…& On from Saturday night until Monday night. I feel a little sick just thinking about it…
And seeing as it’s Friday night, and this is excellent, here’s a bonus for you from Bang Gang’sCassian. Cassian can do no wrong in my eyes, since I heard his remix of label mates Bag Raiders‘ Shooting Stars. This mix has a pretty-pretty ending, with Sing for Anna into the Mighty Mouse remix of The Living. Cassian – Mr Friday Night mix
