We started BTG in 2009 and we’ve had loads of fun over the past three years. Tonight is going to be special for a few reasons. 1) The D’angelo show in Brixton. It is sold out, but don’t worry if you didn’t pick up a ticket. We’ll be playing Brown Sugar + Voodoo in their entirety, back to back. If you did get a ticket, come back north with us after the show. 2) Our closest friends will be playing with us for the rest of the night. 3) Its the magic number, yo.

Call Super released a great ep last year called “Staircase.” He has recently remixed Renaissance Man and has forthcoming material on Throne of Blood.

Amit completely smashed it on NYE at secretsundaze. He has been dying to show off his solid garage collection, so I figured this would be the perfect opportunity.

Andy and Kaz run somethinksounds, one of my favourite new labels. Their taste in selection is definitely on a BTG tip and this won’t be the last time we rock a party together this year.

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.

After selling out our first shirt we thought it would be nice to make a piece of clothing that was season specific, and true to our nature we got it all sorted a little bit late. That said, we are really happy with the outcome and feel its been worth the wait.

The vest (or tank) design is a collaboration between Ross Gunter and Rauri Rochford. Ross drew a sun and Rauri wrote a Flash script to fill it will 1000′s of tiny intricate circles. Inspiration came from us being booked this summer for Stop Making Sense Festival in Croatia. The eagle-eyed of you may notice the similarity to the poster.

Once again, this is a limited run (40) and we don’t do reprints.

Pick yours up from the shop.

Poster for our bi-monthly party at The Alibi. The next happening this Friday. More info on that in a previous post and on Facebook.

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.

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.

BTG is 2 years old. To celebrate we’ve invited some special guests, Midland and Paul Pre. You might know Midland if you’ve been following the recent mutation of House, he has released music on Phonica Records, Aus Music, Werk, PMR, This Is Music and Southern Fried not to mention he has done some brilliant remixes of Washed Out and Caribou. He’s destined for big things, trust us.

Paul Pre is better than your favourite dj. He is the man behind our best BTGMX to date. He is flying in from Germany. Its actually ridiculous to have him – the proverbial icing on the cake, if you will. The best part is we’ll get a taste of what he’ll be playing for us at Stop Making Sense Festival this Summer. We’ll just be in a basement as opposed to on a beach.

We are happy to announce Seiji, one of the biggest influences on UK dance music, as our headliner for our first party in 2011. His productions have been tearing up dancefloors since 1996 and like very few producers in the game he has been able to reinvent himself through several mutations of UK house without dwelling on the past. In short, he is a don.

Tropics is new on the scene. He makes summertime music that glides, swells and gleams – a perfect antidote to this time of year in London. His debut EP on Planet Mu, Soft Vision, is a hint of what he has up his sleeve.

Finally, after two test prints and months of anticipation on our side, we’re proud to launch our shop and present our first t shirt, designed by Ross Gunter. While we’ve somehow already made it to BTG017, we started this project before our party with Lil Silva and Koreless. Big up Brackles for rocking it during his set on Boiler Room in the mean time.

This shirt was made as a limited run of 60 and we won’t be reprinting them. It is a 3 colour screen-print on an American Apparel unisex 100% Fine Jersey cotton t-shirt. We know Mr AA is questionable with regards to his history of sexual harassment and poor business decisions, but we have yet to find a more comfortable shirt. We hold quality above profit margins, so we’ll stick with this option.

Also, as a little bonus, each t shirt comes with an exclusive mix I made that can only be found (and unlocked via download code) on the tag of each shirt. To be extra eco friendly we’ll ship them to you in post safe oxo-biodegradable envelopes. They are individually numbered and signed.

Check out our shop, here.
