<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s a bit late in the day for a weekend run down with it being Friday and all.. So I’m just gonna blast through what’s on this weekend.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Friday</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Innervisions at CAMP (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?148968" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?148968&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
Tonight is sure to be a road block at the City Arts and Music Project as Innervisions rolls into town with Dixon and Ame. That’s going to be huge.<span id="more-1804"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Unwind at East Village (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?164498" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?164498&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
If you can’t get in at CAMP, then head down the road to East Village. Baaz, Le Loup and Simon Lee of Faze Action fame will be cosmically easing you into the weekend.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Deadly Rhythm Vs Hot Flush at Plan B (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?157628" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?157628&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
For something a bit grittier, Deadly Rhythm go head to head with Hot Flush Recordings at Plan B. Scuba, Appleblim and Joy Orbison litter their line-up. And its only eight bucks.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Saturday</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bread and Butter Day Party at Light Bar (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?164902" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?164902&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
We’re liking the sound of the Bread and Butter party at Light Bar. They’re in the garden, weather permitting, all day Saturday with the brilliant Argy at the helm. Lets hope its not to damp as that could be a corker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Weatherhall, Slam, Butane Todd Terji at Fabric (<a href="http://ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37&amp;DURL=http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=381543" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37_amp_DURL=http_//www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=381543&amp;referer=');">tickets</a>)</strong><br />
They&#8217;re open for business as usual. They&#8217;ll be fine, but they need your support through these hard times. Get yourself down this weekend!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mulletover 5 Years of Mobilee (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?158514" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?158514&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
Mobilee are only five years old? I swear they’ve been around for longer? Anja Schneider and Sebo K two Mulletover regulars return to the Shoreditch Hearn Street Car Park for a Mobilee knees up.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Sunday</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Secretsundaze at RichMix</strong><br />
The new form Secretsundaze are now doing secret Sunday parties. So this is a secret, don&#8217;t tell anyone else. This Sunday they’re in the loft at <a href=" http://www.richmix.org.uk/">RichMix on Bethnal Green Road</a>. Giles and James will be joined by the excellent Mole and Brawther . It’s a paying guestlist only entry so get your names to <a href="mailto:guestlist@secretsundaze.net">guestlist@secretsundaze.net</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ketoloco at Light Bar (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?161113" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?161113&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
Light Bar is becoming a bit of a bank holiday epicentre this weekend. Those lads from a Leeds basement have moved things above board and into the sun light. Joining the Ketoloco DJs will be Julien Chaptal, Shonky, Alex Niggemann and Craig Torrance. Big for a Sunday afternoon. Tickets are sold out so get your queuing shoes on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Move D at Horse and Groom (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?159672" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?159672&amp;referer=');">info</a></strong><strong>)</strong><br />
The other terrace option is down the road at the Horse and Groom. The brilliant Move D will be joining the Warm and Discovery resident DJs for what will hopefully be a sunny day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1525" href="http://earpipe.com/2010/02/03/a-multiple-birthday-weekender/kruse-and-nurnburg/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1525" title="Kruse and nurnburg" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Kruse-and-nurnburg-520x267.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="267" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As always we’re on hand to help you through the plethora of London nights happening this weekend. For the first weekend  of Feb we have a selection of birthday celebrations, toilet raves and basement debauchery.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Act Natural @ The Hub (<a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?134915" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?134915&amp;referer=');">Buy Tickets</a>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Initially it was just Anthea and Alex Cellar set to headline this Friday night get together, but with 54 losing its license, Product have handed over their headliners Kruse &amp; Nürnberg to set up a now pretty sizeable night. Expect lashings of deep percussive house easing you out of Friday and right into Saturday morning.  All is not lost for Product though. They&#8217;ll be throwing a free party at the Castle pub round the corner. So if you&#8217;re in the area pop down and show some support!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Decked Out 10<sup>th</sup> Anniversary @ Coronet  Theatre</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first of the weekend birthdays comes from  Decked Out a London based DJ/artist agency celebrating 10 years in the business.  They’ve roped in all their DJs to lay on an extravagant celebration with the  likes of Dave Clarke, Justin Robertson, Erol Alkan, Justice’s Xavier, Boys Noise, DJ Mehdi, The Glimmers, Aeroplane and Busy P. Plus all DJs are playing  slightly alternative sets and donating their DJ fee to local charity Kids  Company. Its gonna be noisy, sweaty but definitely bouncy fun. I hope you got your  tickets sorted as this sold out weeks ago!<span id="more-1522"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Coma @ Public Life &#8211; <a href="http://www.myspace.com/comatechno" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.myspace.com/comatechno?referer=');">http://www.myspace.com/comatechno</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On to Saturday and to take the edge of daytime  shopping is Coma. They’ve got the tireless Glimpse doing an afternoon slot at everyone’s favourite public toilet turned club Public Life. Have some brunch, hit Spitalfields Market then get on it for the rest of the  afternoon. Delightful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Disco bloodbath @ TBC</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ah, the first Bloodbath for 2010. After a stellar  year for the trio the Bloodbath boys look to continue in fine style for 2010.  They’re up to their usual basement antics this weekend with Sweden’s Mark Seven. Expect the usual mix of HI NRG disco, classic house and cosmic rays.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Innervisions @ Fabric (<a href="http://ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37&amp;DURL=http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=367445" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37_amp_DURL=http_//www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=367445&amp;referer=');">Buy Tickets</a>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know I mention them every week, but they  thoroughly deserve it. Fabric have laid on yet another humongous night. This Saturday once again plays host to Innervisions. Ame, Henrik  Schwarz, Marcus Worgull and Gerd Janson is all that needs to be said for Room 1.  However that’s not all that’s on. Ivan Smagghe returns again to headline room 2 alongside Craig Richards, whilst Terry Francis and Chi-town  legend DJ Heather keep things bumping upstairs in Room 3. Absolutely massive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Prologue 9<sup>th</sup> Birthday @ East Village &#8211; <a href="http://www.eastvillageclub.com/club/index.htm" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.eastvillageclub.com/club/index.htm?referer=');">www.eastvillageclub.com</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2<sup>nd</sup> on the birthday weekender is  Prologue. Its been nine years since their humble beginning at the now defunct Cross.  But after a stint up the road at Egg, they now reside and celebrate their birthday  at East Village. To commemorate the occasion they have brought back Paul  Harris of Dirty Vegas fame who played at the Prologue first birthday. He’ll be supported by their long time residents Paul Louth and Nick Dare.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wet Yourself 3<sup>rd</sup> Birthday @ Fabric (<a href="http://ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37&amp;DURL=http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=366200" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/ticketsuk.at/chriscv?CTY=37_amp_DURL=http_//www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=366200&amp;referer=');">Buy Tickets</a>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, if you’re still out and about Sunday even then pop back to Fabric to help Wet Yourself celebrate their 3<sup>rd</sup> birthday. For three years they have been keeping Sunday nights and  Monday mornings interesting with their nights of techno fuelled fun. They celebrate  three years with the return of Miss Kitten.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So that&#8217;s the weekend ahead. Get involved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1446" title="retro-grade" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/retro-grade-520x345.jpg" alt="retro-grade" width="520" height="345" />Quick one this weekend… It’s too cold to right too much right now. I can barely feel my fingers let alone think.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But if you can bare the cold, especially up north, then Manchester has yet another surprise for you<span id="more-1445"></span> – Luciano. The cheeky chappy Chilean is back once again and here to smash out a five hour set encompassing house and techno with a good dash of South American soulfulness. We saw him last weekend at fabric and he just tore the place up with full on party tunes. A packed out warehouse project is bound to have a similar if not better electric atmosphere. He’s got fellow Cadenza friends Rhadoo, Pedro and Alex Picone joining him. Definitely worth baring the cold for.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On to Saturday and we have two major options. First is fun time disco from the Disco Bloodbath folks again. They’re back at the Bocking Street warehouse with a certain Serge Santiago in tow, he’s going to be showcasing is new live act Retro/Grade. If that’s not enough Serge is going to hit the decks with Retro/Grade partner Ben Rymer, and of course it would be a Disco Bloodbath if it weren’t for their very reliable resident DJs. Definitely get down to this if you can, it’s a great space and the last one was laser focused fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Option two for Saturday night is something a bit deeper. Those Need2Soul folk have pitched up a tent at new venue The Camp in Old Street. Good things have been said about the space from the Sud Electronic nights who’ve already had a few good parties in their basement. On the bill is the ever delightful Ame who can just do no wrong. The last few sets I’ve heard from the duo have been nothing short of fantastic and I’d expect them to deliver the same this Saturday. Marcus Worgull is in toe to provide some Innervisions support whilst in the other room disco funksters Linkwood and House of Traps keep the other room entertained… Expect everything from house, disco and funk to jazz, techno and hip hop. Sure to be an interesting mêlée of musical fascination.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1386" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="dixon" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dixon.jpg" alt="dixon" width="500" height="305" />I’m a big fan of Dixon, his ability as a DJ and producer is often unsurpassed and his taste in house music and beyond is often faultless. Dixon’s last outing on a compilation mix was with his Innervisions buddies Henrik Schwarz and Ame. The resulting CD was a masterpiece which knitted together an intricate composition of varied sounds that had a common minimal style to them. The complexity of sounds and the fluidity of the mix made it such an interesting and pleasurable listening experience, which dare I say made it a timeless CD. It’s that winning combination which Dixon has tried to emulate on his solo effort for Temporary Secretary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The track selection on Temporary Secretary definitely reflects a similar approach that features on The Grandfather Paradox. He’s used tracks which revolve around a house come 4/4 base yet they all have their own diversely individual sounds. Dixon craftily blends each track with such flow and smoothness that the whole mix simply glides.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There’s no rushing this CD with things starting in carefully measured amounts. Fever Ray’s If I Had A Heart sets a deep warm tone with its multi layers of vocals and melodies. From there he melds into the spooky whistles of Roland Bocquet’s Exotique before slowly layering in the vibrating motif from Ame’s Tube Beats. It creates a fine build of tension before brilliantly releasing into a medley of Jazzanova’s Let Me Show Ya and Daniel Paul’s Something About You. Quite a mouthful to describe and that was just for three of the four opening tracks.<span id="more-1384"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Things continue to shuffle along at a steady pace with Dixon keeping your attention through his intricate mixes and fascinating sounds. You’ve got the twinkling chimes combined with the lovely soulful vocals on Ewan Pearson’s remix of Hazel. They go up against the higgledy percussion of Kalabrese’s remix of Inferno Jack, creating a hypnotic and airy atmosphere that wonderfully sets up the beautiful melancholic melodies of Peter Kruder’s Law of Return for maximum impact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dixon then rounds off the second half of the mix in more familiar house territory. The infectious vocal loop and acid style riff on Good Voodoo sparks some serious toe tapping action, whilst the epic synths on Henrik Schwarz’s remix of Equinox and the haunting strings from Ame’s Setsa provide some great “eyes closed, lost in the music” moments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This review took a long time to write because I just didn’t know what to think about this mix. Normally you can figure out what you think after a couple of listens but with this I just wasn’t sure what I thought. In fact I was probably leaning towards not really liking it. It didn’t seem to go anywhere and it was very hard work to listen to. But after persevering with a fair few more listens you start to see the detail and intricacy in which this mix has been so skilfully crafted. You start to learn the way it moves and breathes from one track to the next and ultimately you fall in love with its hidden depths and dynamics. It doesn’t hit the same mark as The Grandfather Paradox, but it doesn’t fall too far short. If you buy this CD, give it the time it deserves and it will be a great listen that you can keep coming back to. Like that old overused analogy goes – “it’s like a fine wine that gets better with age”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/03-minus.jpg" alt="Minus Sonar Crowd" title="Minus Sonar Crowd" width="500" height="258" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389" /></p>
<p>Its just gone midnight on Wednesday night… so no time for an in depth Sonar preview. So here it is in a business like bullet point format:</p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>Thursday</p>
<p></strong></p>
<li>Catch Jeff Mills doing an afternoon set at Sonar under his original Detroit guise The Wizard</li>
<li>
<p>Catch Konono No1 blast out some congo riddems. Seen videos and the look fun!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you’re invited hit the Mobilee rooftop pool party at Hotel Diagonal</p>
<p><span id="more-1145"></span>
</li>
<li>
<p>For the night time hit the Minimal Nation launch party at Nitsa with Robert Hood, Ben Klock and James Ruskin</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If rinsing techno is not your thing then either try 8Bit Vs Bloop at Sugar Beach Club with Nick Curly or maybe Club4 at City Hall with Audion Live, Marco Carola and Paco Osuna</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The other biggie is of course Luciano, Loco Dice and Martin Buttrich at Kanna Beach Club!</p>
</li>
<p><img src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/spi40_1978_sonar_by_day6.jpg" alt="spi40_1978_sonar_by_day6" title="spi40_1978_sonar_by_day6" width="520" height="274" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1153" /></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>Friday</p>
<p></strong></p>
<li>
<p>If you’re looking for something to do in the early hours of Friday morning then check out Kubicle. The London party are down at Macarena with Pier Bucci.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Friday day I guess its worth checking out La Roux on the Huw Stephens BBC Introducing showcase.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>On the same showcase Micachu and The Shapes also looks really interesting. Rule Britania!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you’re not at Sonar then the 10 years of BPitch Control boat party is on from 7am till 4pm. If not the boat then there is the beach party at Baila La Playa</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In terms of Sonar night activities I guess its worth checking out the two pop headliners. See new comer Little Boots to see what the hype is about and also old skooler Grace Jones to see what the hype was about.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Other than that it’s disco disco disco! James Murphy and Pat Mahoney do a disco set in  the SonarClub arena, whilst Erol Alkan does his Disco 3000 thing at SonarLab.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>O did we forget to mention Richie Hawtin is playing? As always he’ll be present at Sonar, but only for two hours and from 2am! Sonar sort it out!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If being in a massive arena space isn’t your thing then the Kompakt party at Nitsa looks ridiculously good. Gui Burrato, DJ Koze and Superpitcher. Need I say more?</p>
</li>
<p><img src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/spi33_1249_madness_sonarclub-520x328.jpg" alt="spi33_1249_madness_sonarclub" title="spi33_1249_madness_sonarclub" width="520" height="328" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1154" /></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>Saturday</p>
<p></strong></p>
<li>
<p>As for Saturday day. I’m not to sure what to check out. Culoe de Song on Innervisions is closing the SonarDome so that will be worth checking. Also Busy P should be rinsing the French filter sound in the SonarVillage.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Then at night is where its really going down. The definitive must is Orbital.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Then after that Jeff Mills is supposed to be doing a special AV set</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Carl Craig will be closing the SonarPub which sure to be amazing</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Marcel Dettmann and Tadeo are substitutes for the techno big boys but i&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll deliver a great show</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>And if you can squeeze them in, Moderat would be good to catch going on the strength of their new album</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Off Sonar, BPitch are still continuing their 10 year celebrations at Nitsa.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>But if you’re sick of the sight of them lot then Radioslave and co are down at BeCool or GetPhysical showcase DJ T, Lazarus and Matthew Dear at Wip. Both lookers if you ask me.</p>
</li>
<p><img src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/spi45_9495_sonardome2.jpg" alt="spi45_9495_sonardome2" title="spi45_9495_sonardome2" width="520" height="347" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1155" /></p>
<p><strong></p>
<p>Sunday</p>
<p></strong></p>
<li>
<p>Should I type on? Its been three days already surely there can’t be any more.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Well firstly Secretsundaze do their Sunday thing at La Terrazza with Ame and Dixon!!!!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>But also contends with Ricardo Villalobos and Cassy at Kanna club. What a way to close out the weekend.</p>
</li>
<p><strong></p>
<p>Mond… no I’ll stop now. Before I make myself ill.</p>
<p></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-921" title="a-critical-mass-2" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/a-critical-mass-2.jpg" alt="a-critical-mass-2" width="520" height="273" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When most people think of Easter they think the second coming of Christ, Easter eggs, fluffy bunnies and daffodils. For a select few it’s all about Easter weekend and how to run your mind into the ground for four days and nights. I’m in the latter camp.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This year the options seem to be bunched around key days. Thursday night has an all mighty clash. In one corner you’ve got your scenster nights. Secretsundaze do their annual thing at the coronet theatre which will see Ame, Dixon and Henrik Schwarz combine forces to create some ableton improve amalgamation live set where they be as one together. No its not some gay love in between the quartet, it’s actually their new project Critical Mass. The whole thing sounds pretty interesting, especially if its anything along the lines of their recent Granfather Paradox mix. After the live session, Dixon and Ame will be dropping a dj set or two along with the SS and Horse Meat Disco ressies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However if Secretsundaze all sounds a bit too complex with the live sets and you just want to go and party your ass of to some party tunes, then maybe Disco Bloodbath is for you? They’re celebrating their 2nd birthday and to help them they’ve brought in their Scottish mentors Optimo who have been playing party tunes for countless years. Todd Terje will be headlining the main room for the Bloodbath along with the residents, whilst Optimo residents Twitch and Wilkes will be keeping a handle on things with Gucci Soundsystem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If that all seems a bit to fashionista and you just want raw big room stuff, then you want to be heading towards Koko or matter. Old Coxy is doing a party at the former with Nic Fanciulli and Yousef, whilst Diggers is doing his Bedrock thang at the latter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-920"></span><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-922" title="mulletover-bday" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/mulletover-bday.jpg" alt="mulletover-bday" width="520" height="359" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Something for everyone to kickstart the weekend. However Friday and Saturday look a bit thin on the ground for anything gripping. The best Friday can muster up is Brothers Vibe at East Village. Saturday fairs a little better with Reboot and Ketoloco at Lightbox in Vauxhall. Also Fabric is worth a punt with MANDY and Tobi Neumann. But other than that nothing that jumps out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But its probably for the best as things get going early with the Bugged Out All Dayer  at the Old Queens Head in Angel. I believe the party vibe is retro 80s! Once that’s warmed the old engine up, the place to head is Mulletover where they’ll be celebrating five whole years. At the Seager Storage Units as per usual, they’ll be seeing in their 5th Anniversary with those Romanian favourites a:rpia:r, reel to reel extraordinaire Greg Wilson, the strange but highly talented musicians Noze and disco/funk revivers Linkwood Family. DELUXE!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If things are still functioning you can round off the weekend with a trip to matter where old skool hip hop legends Jazzy Jeff and Grandmaster Flash will be cutting and juggling up prime hip hop before the days of diiirty britches and bling.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So go forth and celebrate the rebirth of Christ by hurling yourself head first into the gutter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-632" title="earpipe-2008-music-look-back-header1" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/earpipe-2008-music-look-back-header1-1024x517.jpg" alt="earpipe-2008-music-look-back-header1" width="515" height="260" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I normally struggle to think what tunes have been and gone in the last month, so trying to remember what I was listening to back in January is a mountainous mission in itself, which is probably why I’m going to write this avoiding any specifics and will talk around the subject pretending I know what I&#8217;m talking about like any good politician would do. But from what I can recollect “minimal” became housier (or maybe I became housier?), Dubstep collided with Techno and Disco has undergone a massive revival</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-619" title="johnny-d" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/johnny-d-189x300.jpg" alt="johnny-d" width="189" height="300" />So lets start with the shift towards the housier sounds. We noticed a lot of DJs ditching the repetitive and bland “minimal” sounds that were starting to stagnate and instead nudging more towards the house end of the spectrum. This meant a bit more funk and soul embedded into tracks, more vocals and jazzier samples. It may sound like we&#8217;re harking back to the funky house days circa 2000-02, but this was slightly different, it was more an amalgamation of what came out of the “minimal-tech” sounds which dominated ’05-’07 with older house music sensibilities as seen from the Chicago deep house days. A perfect example of this is probably My My, their remix of <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Djuma+Soundsystem/Les+Djinns/Critical+Mass+Records/258991?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Djuma+Soundsystem/Les+Djinns/Critical+Mass+Records/258991?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Djuma Soundsytem’s Les Dijnns ’s</a> typifies where the sound was during 2007 whilst their latest release <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/My+My/Everybodys+Talkin/Playhouse/450972?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/My+My/Everybodys+Talkin/Playhouse/450972?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Everybody’s Talkin’</a> is a glimpse into the house sound doing the rounds at the moment. The same goes for <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Josh+Wink/Stay+Out+All+Night/Ovum+Recordings/442585?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Josh+Wink/Stay+Out+All+Night/Ovum+Recordings/442585?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Josh Wink’s Stay Out All Night</a> and <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Matthew+Styles/We+Said+Nothing/Music+Man+Records/504212?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Matthew+Styles/We+Said+Nothing/Music+Man+Records/504212?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Matthew Styles We Said Nothing</a>, both distinctly Chi-town influenced numbers which bebop’s to a fun and funked up skipping rhythm. In a similar vein who could forget Johnny D who’s had a fantastic year. His track <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Johnny+D/Orbitallife/Oslo/371588?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Johnny+D/Orbitallife/Oslo/371588?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Orbitallife</a> was causing raucous everywhere through the summer not to mention all his <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/artist/Johnny+D/485314&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/artist/Johnny+D/485314_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=?referer=');">other releases</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But then it wasn’t all fun funked up house, this year saw a lot of dub style house and techno music with heavy basslines at a relaxed pace. Tracks like <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Trusme/WAR+Dub/Prime+Numbers/538645?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Trusme/WAR+Dub/Prime+Numbers/538645?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Trus’me’s W.A.R Dub</a> particularly stood out as did a lot of the output from Gedde’s new label <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/labels/Murmur+Records/7052?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/labels/Murmur+Records/7052?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">MurMur</a> which had artists like <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/artist/Bearweasel/484366?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/artist/Bearweasel/484366?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Bearweasel</a> pumping out deep and hypnotic house. One of the best tracks of the year for me was the highly elusive Wax1001. There was no artist or label, just this white label containing the rawest house track ever. A simple track with clunky beats, classic hi hat patterns and a dark raw bassline made <a href="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/142642/wax10001" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/142642/wax10001?referer=');">Wax1001</a> show how less is definitely more.</p>
<p><span id="more-595"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-636" title="garnier" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/garnier.jpg" alt="garnier" width="515" height="342" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Amongst all of this was another return. Afrobeat house started reappearing in a heavier form predominately coming out of the <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/labels/Innervisions/4706?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/labels/Innervisions/4706?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Innervisions</a> camp but also a whole host of producers. This house sound brought a lot of energy through African rhythms, chants and tribal beats. <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Henrik+Schwarz++Amampondo/I+Exist+Because+Of+You/Innervisions/382604?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Henrik+Schwarz++Amampondo/I+Exist+Because+Of+You/Innervisions/382604?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Henrik Schwarz’ I Exist Because of You</a> was a prime example as was <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Henrik+Schwarz++me++Dixon/DPOMB/Innervisions/437392?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Henrik+Schwarz++me++Dixon/DPOMB/Innervisions/437392?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Dixon/Ame/Schwarz’s effort on D.P.O.M.B</a> and to a lesser extent Laurent Garnier’s return to production on his <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Laurent+Garnier/Back+To+My+Roots/Innervisions/400813?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Laurent+Garnier/Back+To+My+Roots/Innervisions/400813?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Afrodiziac mix of Back to my Roots</a>. Away from the Innervisions folk, <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Osborne/Afrika/Spectral+Sound/530653?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Osborne/Afrika/Spectral+Sound/530653?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Osborne’s Afrika</a> had a not surprising African feel making it a firm favourite for many including EarPipe and was part of an incredible year for the Michigan born producer who’s <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/artist/Osborne/530653?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/artist/Osborne/530653?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">self titled album</a> received critical acclaim. The other big African influenced house but probably more so house influenced African music came from Afefe Iku and his track <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Afefe+Iku/Mirror+Dance/Yoruba+Records/384810?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Afefe+Iku/Mirror+Dance/Yoruba+Records/384810?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Mirror Dance</a>. The heavy tribal beats and highly infectious glockenspiel hook were an instant success made apparent when every one would always poorly attempt to vocally imitate the glockenspiel hook.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-628" title="sis" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sis.jpg" alt="sis" width="520" height="291" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aside from genre nit picking, house and techno came out with some pretty good gems. SIS was a massive mover this year mainly with his track <a href="http://www.juno.co.uk/products/325226-01.htm" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.juno.co.uk/products/325226-01.htm?referer=');">Nesrib</a> but there was also Orgasa, Clarinete and that annoying but quite fun Trompeta. Truly a stellar year for the young producer. Another trend for 2008 was taking samples from old scratchy foreign records and working it into restrained house beats a la Italoboyz style. <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Stimming/Una+Pena/DIYNAMIC/480593?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Stimming/Una+Pena/DIYNAMIC/480593?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Stimming&#8217;s Una Pena</a> and <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/La+Pena/A1/La+Pena/446639?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/La+Pena/A1/La+Pena/446639?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">La Pena&#8217;s A1/Davino Canto</a> were particular highlights of this trend and pushed massively by the Lucianos and Villalobos&#8217; of the world. Radioslave also continued his world domination with a new direction through <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Radio+Slave/Eyes+Wide+Open/RS+Records/446376?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Radio+Slave/Eyes+Wide+Open/RS+Records/446376?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Eyes Wide Open</a> not to mention his more ambient and down tempo project with Joel Martin as <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Quiet+Village/Silent+Movie/K7+Records/389735?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Quiet+Village/Silent+Movie/K7+Records/389735?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Quiet Village</a>. But that&#8217;s not to say Radioslave’s dark technoness didn&#8217;t continue on. <a href="http://www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Radio+Slave/Grindhouse/Rekids/415402?bid=4&amp;aid=CD329&amp;opt=" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.djdownload.com/mp3-detail/Radio+Slave/Grindhouse/Rekids/415402?bid=4_amp_aid=CD329_amp_opt=&amp;referer=');">Dubfire’s remix of Grindhouse Tool</a> was making a right mess on most techno dancefloors right through the summer. It was fun at first but it has become a bit dull.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whilst many were disputing what house and techno had become there was an alchemy experiment happening behind the scenes where Dusteppers were blending Dubstep with Techno in an attempt to produce gold. Their attempts have been pretty successful Shackleton returned the favour by remixing Villalobos’ acclaimed Vasco EP, whilst Appleblim and Peverelist topped many charts with their track Circling as well as pushing their Skull Disco label to new nether regions in the Dubstep world. But it’s probably Appleblim’s RA podcast which helped to break down Dubstep/Techno/House barriers for many people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-634" title="hercules-and-the-love-affair03" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hercules-and-the-love-affair03.jpg" alt="hercules-and-the-love-affair03" width="515" height="345" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But the most interesting development for EarPipe has to be the recent Disco revival. Its been bubbling away since the start of 2007 and properly came to attention when the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QRI5GS?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=sublevses-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B000QRI5GS" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000QRI5GS?ie=UTF8_amp_tag=sublevses-21_amp_linkCode=as2_amp_camp=1634_amp_creative=6738_amp_creativeASIN=B000QRI5GS&amp;referer=');"> James Murphy and Pat Mahoney FabricLive 36</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=sublevses-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B000QRI5GS" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> release came out in October 07. From there Disco has gone from strength to strength in the capital. New night Disco Bloodbath and Horse Meat Disco have been busy throughout the year, whilst Fabric, Secretsundaze and Mulletover have all jumped on board with Disco backrooms. One of the biggest developments for the Disco revival was the release of <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013N8VTK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=sublevses-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B0013N8VTK" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013N8VTK?ie=UTF8_amp_tag=sublevses-21_amp_linkCode=as2_amp_camp=1634_amp_creative=6738_amp_creativeASIN=B0013N8VTK&amp;referer=');">Hercules and Love Affair’s self titled debut album</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=sublevses-21&amp;l=as2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B0013N8VTK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. The album hit the charts and was widely respected by the critics putting this new Disco come House sound in the spotlight. Across the North Sea our Scandinavian friends Lindstrom and Prins Thomas continued pushing their cosmic disco sound on Smalltown Supersound and <a href="http://earpipe.com/2008/11/11/metro-area-fabric-43-review/">Metro Area’s Fabric 44</a> gave us a reminder of where disco came from.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So that’s what we at EarPipe can remember from the year in music. It has been fun, there has been some rubbish, but then there have been some delectable moments and no doubt this will continue into 2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/eastern-electrics-nye.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-557" title="eastern-electrics-nye" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/eastern-electrics-nye.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="277" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since we’re halfway through December with Christmas right on our doorsteps I guess we should really cover what’s going down on New Years Eve. If you think you can bear the vomit laden streets and tourist clubbers who make it out for their annual party then read on. If not EarPipe recommends a house party or hired venue for you and your friends to get seriously pissed and whatever else you might want to do….</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what is the party to go to for us? Top of our list is Eastern Electrics. You may remember them from August Bank Holiday weekend, maybe for the wrong reasons. Here at Earpipe we had an OK night but it’s true it could have been organised better. But Eastern Electrics has assured us they&#8217;re one the case. So we’re definitely going to give it another shot because who could say no to some South London urban space. You may cry that its going to be cold. But fear not as you&#8217;ll be donning some kitsch 80s throw back tracksuit because as part of this year’s line-up Eastern Electrics have brought in Tayo and his legendary tracksuit party!! What better excuse to look 80s hip hop cool or more likely in our case Chuckle Brothers retro.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tracksuit-party.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-560" title="tracksuit-party" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tracksuit-party.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tracksuits aside you may want to know what’s going on music wise. Well they’ve got three rooms in this warehouse location. The main room will have the formidable Mulletover who have brought in one half of MANDY Phillip Jung, they’ve also got Crosstown Rebeller Damien Lazarus, who might we add played an absolute stormer at the T-Bar closing parties, and to support these heavyweights they’ve got London faithfuls Geddes from Mulletover and Simon Morell form DDD. Tayo and Frank Tope take over room two with their tracksuit party canvassing support from ex Radioslaver Serge Santiago and to round things off those up and coming Man Make Music kids will be delivering the full spectrum of bass heavy dance music. So pretty fantastic if you ask me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tickets are still going at £20 from ticketweb <a href="http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=293328" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=293328&amp;referer=');">here</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And you might still be able to get some £16 ones from View London <a href="http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/clubs/eastern-electrics-nye-tickets-9902-19873.html" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.viewlondon.co.uk/clubs/eastern-electrics-nye-tickets-9902-19873.html?referer=');">here</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not bad for New Years Eve!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But if bopping around a cold warehouse in a tracksuit doesn’t take your fancy then here are the next best…</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Secretsundaze</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/secret-sundaze.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-562" title="secret-sundaze" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/secret-sundaze-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></a>Secretsundaze looks particularly good. They’ve taken Village Underground a rough and ready design space in the heart of Shoreditch. The location sounds fantastic and they’ve got a fantastic line-up too. Favourites from the year Omar S and Johnny D will be playing alongside Giles Smith and James Priestley. Expect nothing less than brilliant house music!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get your tickets from <a href="http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=300123" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=300123&amp;referer=');">here.</a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Horse Meat Disco</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want something a bit off the wall then Horse Meat Disco might be right up your street. They’ve got plenty of delightful disco to see you through the night at Cargo and to give it that Studio 54 edge they’ve brought in show girl Johnny Woo of Gay Bingo fame.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get your tickets from <a href="http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&amp;query=detail&amp;event=288360" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london_amp_query=detail_amp_event=288360&amp;referer=');">here.</a></p>

Firstly Fabric has one big New Years Eve melting pot of styles. Its going to be a head on collision of Fabric vs Fabric Live. In room one they’ve got our Innervisions favourites Ame and Dixon along with Nottingham whipper snapper Matt Tolfrey. Of course the New Year wouldn’t be the same if the residents Craig Richards and Terry Francis weren’t present. Then over in room two they’ve got Yoda, Craze and the perverts. If you like hip hop and DnB there’s no point looking anywhere else.</p>

They do their final New Years Eve and who better to bring the club in to the New Year for the final time than the French master Laurent Garnier. All night the French wizard will do what he does best and that’s quality journeys through dance music. He’ll get a little support from Layo too and in the back room the most excellent Jimpster and Milton Jackson will have you buried deep in the ground with their deep deep stylings. Sure to be a fantastic party however you might be left a bit tearful not because it’s closing down but because of the ticket price.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fuse-presents-deetron_header_image.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-438" title="fuse-presents-deetron_header_image" src="http://earpipe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fuse-presents-deetron_header_image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="272" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I’ve only ever been to Brussels once and that was when I was a kid on a school trip. In my opinion there was little to see or do. We took a look at the European parliament and then spent the rest of the time getting drunk in a cheesy discotheque due to Belgium’s lax drinking laws. Had I known that the Fuse club existed I might have found the place a little more exciting. They get a good stream of cutting edge talent through their doors and if you’ve ever scoured the internet for DJ sets you’d be sure to come across some great live mixes from this club. And like any big club they have to have the obligatory CD series which has the Swiss born Deetron taking the reins in the next instalment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For his Fuse Presents mix, Deetron explores the deep, spacey and percussive end of house and techno. The opening tracks such as Salvatore Freda &amp; Volta’s Basic Hood Lobos build slowly through restrained beats. Jackie Idjut’s remix of Fragment Four Love Won&#8217;t Leave Me Alone incorporates beautiful violins and slow burning percussion whilst we get a blast of sublime old school with the vocals and bass guitar on Fingers Inc’s A Path.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through the middle section we see Deetron focus more on the percussive style of house as the mix steps up a gear. Tracks like Gene Hunt’s Inspire and Schwarz, Ame and Dixon’s D.P.O.M.B help the mix hit its peak time step. We also hear various influences from a little injection of dub with Trus’Me’s W.A.R Dub, Shakleton’s Moroccan influenced Death is Not Final and a head nod to Detroit with Redshape’s Warrior.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The mix finishes at the peak of a crescendo with Radioslave’s Eyes Wide Open in a flurry of bongo percussion before finishing out on the ‘91classic Future by Mr Monday to end a well programmed mix. In terms of style there are similarities with Ame’s Fabric 42 in the variety and styles of house used, but Deetron does a great job of giving the CD its own identity.</p>

B. Underground Resistance<br />
C. Constipation Resistance</p>
