Look out for a limited edition mix CD that we will be distributing for free at the night which has been compiled by BTG’s Fat C.

Going on a holiday tomorrow, first proper one since December ‘09. Spending quality time in Nice with my better half and driving to Petrčane, Croatia (with a stop off in Venice) for Stop Making Sense’s inaugural festival. Can’t wait to play at this, the lineup is too good and the site looks amazing. A little bit nervous as I’m doing a peak-time 90 minute b2b set with James Priestley on Saturday night. I’m sure it’ll go off though, especially when I drop this.

The people behind Stop Making Sense, a new festival in Croatia, booked me to represent The CAMP. I’ve reciprocated by making this exclusive mix and answering some questions for their blog. Its worth digging around the blog, as some great people have curated previous ones. If you’re looking for a cheap festival in the sunshine with an amazing lineup, SMS lets you have your cake and eat it too. (PS, big up Toot Sweet for mastering it.)
I’m putting this show on with Eglo in July, at The City Arts & Music Project. They made an exclusive mix for the occasion.

Our 12th night is upon us and we’ve got Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, of Greco Roman fame, headlining for us with a rare dj set. When he’s not chilling with Marshall Jefferson, or playing for Annie Mac, he’s writing music for you to dance to. He’s a good friend, an even better dj and his knowledge of Jungle is prettaay impressive.
After our great 1yr bday party at The CAMP, we thought we’d switch our steez up and move a bit further East. The soundsystem at The Alibi is potent, and the space is reminiscent of an NYC basement – so it seemed like a great place to have a party. We’re really looking forward to it.
Also, since we tend to see these more as events than simply nights, we’re going to have limited edition mix cds for the night put together by us, as well as some posters for you to take home.

I recommend checking this out. I can’t imagine why the ICA has stopped doing these events, they always seemed really well programmed and quite busy. Its good that Andrew Rae is keeping them alive though.
Short animation to promote our next night. Thanks to Lily Gooding for all her help on grading this. Much love to all. See you Saturday 15th May at The CAMP.

Bridging the Gap is one year old. Oh, how time does fly! To celebrate we’ve decided to throw a massive party with some new friends. Man Make Music have been doing their thing for a while, and we’ve been meaning to collaborate since our party at Cargo (RIP) in January with Bill Brewster.
We asked MMM who they thought we should invite as special guests, they put forward the people that brought you the amazing free Oscillations compilations, Jus Like Music and Apple Juice Break. And they delivered way beyond our expectations. So, this party is celebrating the physical launch of these compilations as well as our bday.
It’s FREE entry, and everyone who comes will get a limited edition Oscillations Mix CD, mixed by Mr Beatnick. Only 500 of these in existence and each one is hand-numbered! You’ll also get a limited edition print of 2 colour A2 posters, which have been run on Cyclus Offset 170gsm 100% recycled stock. Also individually numbered.
BTG & MMM Present: Oscillations (Physical) Launch Party, May 15th

I’ve become a bit tired of late with the Indian art shows hosted in London – the recent exhibition at the V&A included. They tend to focus on the same things: a turbulent political history, the riches of Maharajan kings or sometimes the quirkiness of Hindu gods.
This display of photography at the Whitechapel Art gallery did away with all that, providing a real insight into the last 150 years of the Indian subcontinent – including Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Many of the photographs can be admired independently as well as part of the exhibition as a whole. It’s worth checking out, whether you like India or photography in general, and I have no doubt that it will be more comprehensive than ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ Indian artists exhibition over at the Saatchi gallery.
150 years of photography from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh runs at the Whitechapel Gallery until 11 April.

Spotted this was on at Kemistry Gallery (Shoreditch) and thought I’d share. I’ve not been yet but looking to check it out in the next couple of weeks, as its next to the Studio it would be rude not too.
The exhibition is “Inspired by the collation and sorting of random data sources, Danish design polymaths Nan Na Hvass and Sofie Hannibal are reinterpreting information and expressing it by way of wooden sculptures, hand-benched silkscreen prints and offset posters.” If the poster above is any indication then we’re going to be in for a real treat.
Its running from the 14th January through to the 27th February. Kemistry is open weekdays from 11–6 and Saturday from 11–4, and its free. For a more detailed write up see the Kemistry Website.

We figured that new years day is going to be a write-off for loads of people. But January 2nd is a different story – so we’ve arranged to throw a free party at Cargo with a line-up that will hopefully raise more than a few brows. Reality strikes on the Monday afterwards so come and vibrate your buttcheeks with us while you still can!
DJHistory.com head-honcho Bill Brewster on the wheels of steel + Andreya Triana (LIVE). With afro-boogie and booty-bass sounds provided by us and the Üdio residents.
Free before 11pm, fiver afterwards.
