The homies dollop are throwing a party in conjunction with Garden Festival and Eglo. It’ll probably be very good, I saw the Eglo live band at Fabric a few weeks ago and they were tight – head over to Corsica this Friday to see for yourself.
I’m hosting room two along with the lovely guys from ManMakeMusic and Braiden in a few days to celebrate NYE. Room one has some serious talent with Âme, Levon Vincent and Kyle Hall as well as secretsundaze residents Giles and James holding things down. Go here to buy tickets or if you want any more info.
Can’t wait.
Ill Blu have released an EP on both Hyperdub and Numbers and are gearing up towards their next Hyperdub release. They will smash up the dancefloor just like they smash the airwaves on Rinse. Jonny Dub is the co-founder of Manchester’s Hoya:Hoya. Somehow his rep isn’t as big as his record collection (yet). Count Choc is happy to finally play back to back with one of his favourite people to bump into at warehouse parties, White Tyson.

We’re back from destroying the beach bar at SMS, Croatia. Been back for a solid month, actually. We’ve recovered and are ready once again to enjoy our favourite basement, Friday 7th October.
Nightwave released “The Feel” EP on Svetlana Industries in late June. Her dj sets are a playful take on the current Juke sound. Paul Pre shouldn’t need an introduction by now. He played for us a few months ago and was with us at SMS, flying in especially from Germany. Count Choc is glad to be back. And very glad to have our good friend Beagle finally joining the party. As always its free entry all night, open until 3.

We’re off to Croatia on Aug 11th for Stop Making Sense festival. Before that, we have a big lineup consisting of Brainfeeder fam (Kutmah) and the man behind many Various Production releases (Mr Lager).
Kutmah has been tearing shit up since he arrived from LA just about a year ago. Lager has been in the shadows for Various for a long while and recently finished a remix for DJ Shadow. Count Choc has been reading short stories by Khalil Gibran and only recently heard Octavia Butler was worth checking out.

New music from Seams, who wrote one of my favourite EPs of last summer. His latest release on Pictures Music is a much more danceffloor-oriented affair, this track is definitely going to pop up in my sets. It is reminiscent of Jimmy Edgar’s ‘Hot Raw Sex’, which can only be a good thing. You can pre order the 12″ here.
His single launch is at The Lock Tavern on July 17th, more info here.

The TEED show last night was brilliant. The place was packed and everyone in there was going crazy. Was a pleasure supporting him.
I’m playing tunes from 1am-3am on the Saturday session, right after Jon Convex (who is 1/2 of Instra:mental). Sooooo, if you aren’t in Barcelona this weekend I’d highly recommend coming to this. Its free entry as usual and they even hired in an extra rig to really make it special. I might be rocking a funny hat because I’m shooting off to this straight afterwards. As if you needed another reason to come…
Our good friend Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has his first massive headline show tomorrow, with Donaeo and Lapalux in support. Being the charming guy that he is, he asked me to play records in between bands.
FB event is here, which will be streamed worldwide. It should be a really great party, what with all the dancers, inflatable dinos, confetti canons and other crazy shit that has been masterminded.
Oh, and head over to TEED’s soundcloud to check out the fresh remixes of his latest single “Trouble” by Jamie Jones, Chad Valley and Lapalux.

So, we had our regular bi-monthly party down The Alibi on Friday. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and huge thanks to Izzy Lawrence and Josey Rebelle. Both played outstanding sets. We’ve just realised that we’d neglected to mention the party, or even post the poster up here. This was due in part to myself only getting it finished a couple of nights before. Still. Very. Very. Lame.
Our next party is happening August 5th with us, Mr Lager and Kutmah. Same time, same place. More info on that to come soon. Promise.

New mix I made for Stopmakingsense Festival. We’re curating a stage there on August 12th. This mix is a collection of my favourite songs of the moment. It is also quite indicative of what I’d play on a night out, which is basically hiphop and house. A few of the songs mean a lot to me, the two Royalty tunes are from the first EP I put out on my new record label Five Easy Pieces. Gilles Peterson even included Heat Ray as one of his favourite tunes of 2011 so far. Thanks Gilles! Other than that most of the songs have been on constant repeat on my ipod and in my dj sets.
Stream it here.
