It's a fact that eleven is the first number that can't be represented on human hands. And yep, it's also a fact that it's the entry point into a new decade, but what it also stands for, is that infamous punch line from the satirical rock film Spinal Tap - the part where the band's amplifiers have been built to go louder, giving them the opportunity to take their performance to the next level by turning them up to '11.' It's something of a fitting analogy to describe our 11th Birthday Weekender in October; we're turning all our speakers louder (metaphorically of course) and taking the club's performance to the next level. And with two nights of club programming spanning three days we'll be lighting the hendecagon shaped candles at both ends in celebration.
Handing Friday's proceedings over to Caspa in Room One, Andy C and the Scratch Perverts in Room Two and the fresh faced Blunted Robots family in Room Three means there'll be plenty of low end themed diversity across Friday night. With each room bumping to a differently tempoed drum, the first night of our 11th Birthday weekend personifies the talent that's passed through our brickwork over the last year, welcoming new heroes like Rinse FM's pioneering funky producer Marcus Nasty, in the same breath.
Those bastard bass merchants Brackles and Shortstuff return to host the top level for the second time inviting Rinse FM's Scratcha DVA - whose own DVA label continues to grow in stature alongside his releases on Kode 9's Hyperdub label PTN's funky behemoth Doc Daneeka and the mutant murk of Martin Kemp to wierd out the snare patterns on the dancefloor. Critical boss man Kasra steps up in Room Two to rep his brand new FABRICLIVE residency which unifies the wayward threads of drum & bass as it kicks the soundsystem into submission, and Dub Police return to Room One since their last takeover back in July, inviting Breakage and Emalkay to headline a power cast of heavyweight steppers. |
Saturday night (through till Monday morning) is set to recount some of the magic of the early 'On & On' parties. As we shake, rattle and roll around the clock in an extended thirty hour party jam, we'll be throwing our doors open for a dance marathon; inviting the whole of London's disco freaks and beyond to experience some of our favourite DJs at any time of the day (or night).
The line up is pitted with big names who'll be lining up alongside the emphatic selection of our residents, Craig Richards and Terry Francis. Returning only a couple of months after his last performance, Chilean master of the Room One soundsystem, Ricardo Villalobos will be in attendance, ready as he is to recall some of his sunlight flooding magic. Joining him will be Crosstown Rebels frontman/fabric 54 artist Damian Lazarus, who'll be swooping in to launch his hugely anticipated mix with rhythmical force and dazzling humour; transfixing the crowd with his mastery of sound manipulation.
Starting his career in the post Berlin Wall dance explosion, Innervisions owner Dixon will be spinning the DJ wheel, bringing his deep and innovative house label signing Ame for a special live performance, alongside Detroit's Ryan Crosson, whose debut release out later this year on the hotly tipped Visionquest has set music tongues wagging. Floating Points - one of 2010's breakout composers, whose Eglo label has been widely commended for pushing the boundaries of modern house and soul music will perform alongside Trus' Me, Move D and French sensation dOP, who recently cut their teeth on 'Watergate06'. Their live show defies expectation mixing vocals, saxophone and keyboard along with electronic beats.
Lodged deep in the underground, Tyrant fans can lose their head and feet to the twisted beats and spacey atmospheres of Lee Burridge- whilst Levon Vincent, a DJ netted in the much-discussed revitalization of New York house with his own imprints, Novel Sound and Deconstruct Music will be undulating the floor with energetic flair. And for the icing on the cake- one of London's most intimate and hedonistic soirιes- Kubicle will be bringing its usual resident suspects to the helm, including Clive Henry, FB Julian, Lee Foss and Derren's Disco for a sultry afterhours nod to 80's glam chic, synthesizer jams and deviant disco beats to get you in the spirit of our 11th birthday extravaganza.
