Don’t let the rain dampen your spirits because it’s the weekend. Here’s the run down from Friday to Sunday…..

Wax’d at Public Life
Just a bit of self promotional glory first. This Friday I’ll be laying down some grooves for Wax’d at Public life – Shoreditch’s most loved toilet. I’ll be playing alongside Andy Richardson and Nick Warren, where we will be laying down your typical offering of house and techno fit only for a toilet. Its free before 11 and then only £3 after that. We finish at 2am so you’ve even got options to go other places after…. › Continue reading

EarPipe’s Things We’ve Liked and Are Looking Forward To

Sorry for being a bit slow on the posts front recently. Its mainly down to me being found at weekends crawling around the floor of darkened rooms playing repetitive electronic music. That said I want to tell you about a few of those excursions.

Firstly way back at the end of February we got invited to the launch of Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Sessions at matter. The brand spanking new club was ideal for the heavy weight line up that Nic had brought in. Nic Fanciulli himself played a brilliantly judged tech house to techno set, whilst the the comedy techno antics of Green Velvet blew the socks off many a bewildered tourist clubber. The New York legend Francois K then smashed it home leaving only the lovers of techno to revel in the ridiculous bass that the matter sound system pumps out. Hopefully this is the start of a beautiful residency. Judging by the next Saved Sessions it sure will be. Derrick Carter vs DJ Sneak, Dennis Ferrer, Theo Parrish, Jerome Sydenham and Will Saul!?!?!?!?!?!?Surely i’ve died and woken up in US house heaven?

Fast-forward a couple of weeks and we’re down at East Village where Prologue had brought in Norman Jay for a bit of Good Times magic. I was worried whether Norman Jay was a one trick pony with his chesse-a-thon sets as seen at Carnival. However I was happily proved wrong as he dug out some great house music to have the basement turned up to gas mark nine. › Continue reading

Sunday Evenings Just Got a Whole Lot More Interesting

The first of what we hope will be many Sunday parties come from newcomers’ mUmU. Hailing from the cultural capital of Europe, Liverpool, the folks from mUmU want to give the big smoke a shot after making a rather large name for themselves at a frightening pace in the last year. Their nights have quite literally seen the who’s who of underground house and techno from names like Pier Bucci, Sebo K, Mr C, Rhadoo and Matt Tolfrey. It’s obvious these guys want quality at their nights.

For their London debut they will take over the hallowed Shoreditch tunnel of Cargo to bridge the gap between early evening and midnight. For the opening night they’ve brought in a selection of London’s finest stalwarts with Simon Baker of Cocoon/20:20 Vision fame, Circo Loco’s master of the groove Clive Henry and 12” pusher turned global DJ Hector. › Continue reading
