My god, that Royksopp remix. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE TO ASK FOR, I WAS GIVEN JUST ONE YEAR. Anna-Marie and Matt and I went completely. fucking. nuts to it.

I feel ROBBED that I have but the bare shadow of a memory of this.

Only two weeks until Stink!

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

next monday, i am djing at lovelife.
the monday after, i don't know who's djing at lovelife but it's stink afterwards!
the monday after that, shimura curves are djing at lovelife.

also, 16 feb - weatherall/smagghe residency at the t bar omg.

i still want to do tiga on 18 feb!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:06 (eighteen years ago) link

what is Stink? it sounds unappealing.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i still want to do tiga on 18 feb!

oh the jokes

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Stink = M Mayer at the T-Bar. Monday night mentalism.

― RickyT (RickyT), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:10 (eighteen years ago) link

i still want to do tiga on 18 feb!

yes yes yes or any other day really but on 18 feb he is handily there at the end.

stink is GREAT. it's michael mayer and damian lazarus.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, Lex - Tori Alamaze says to say hello to you!

― Trying To Resonate Concrete (kate), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:41 (eighteen years ago) link

wow! that makes me v happy indeed. are the shimuras in regular contact with her?! what's she planning to do next now that the copycat dolls stole her song? say hi back to her from me!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 10:54 (eighteen years ago) link

what is lovelife?

i was disappointed that the record i really liked around 4am was NOT john starlight, as i had been led to believe

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:29 (eighteen years ago) link

the next stink (feb 6th) is dj koze and damien lazarus. was thinking of taking tuesday off and coming down but will save it for a month where im not desperately tired

all ive got to look forward to is loco dice, but as its not london it doesnt belong on this thread

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, we've been emailing via MySpace. Do you MySpace? She just wrote us randomly after seeing what I wrote about her version of Dont Cha on my blog, and became our Friend.

I am going to find out what Lovelife is on the 13th February because we're apparently DJing there. So I can be even more confused, Anna and Marianna and Annemarie and Anna-Marie. I shall be DJ Marie for the night.

― Trying To Resonate Concrete (kate), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:32 (eighteen years ago) link

lovelife is anna-marie's weekly residency in the 93 ft east bar, gareth - i think marianna and i bumped into you there once. you should come next monday cos i'm the guest dj. as should you, kate! you can find out what it is then.

i don't have a myspace, no, and am Holding Out because 1) i am on enough internet places already and 2) i don't like the layout. but if it means one gets to meet hott r&b stars it must be a good thing!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:39 (eighteen years ago) link

(i should point out that lovelife is 7-11pm and thus perfectly acceptable for a monday night: it's not a banging dancefloor thing though we have been known to do a spot of raving on the tables in the past)

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:40 (eighteen years ago) link

anna-marie is one of the ones that came out on saturday? i lose track. perhaps she was doing the lighting

i would like to go to this lovelife thing. so, i will. yes

― terry lennox. (gareth), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:42 (eighteen years ago) link

anna-marie was the one with black hair and the gorgeous blue dress. she djs as token girl (and i am lex pretend)

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

who is going tonite, to this thing. i could do with a drink, and i have a feeling i'm not the only one

― terry lennox. (gareth), Monday, 30 January 2006 15:18 (eighteen years ago) link

i am going! which you could have predicted and all.

stevem said he might pop by.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 30 January 2006 15:54 (eighteen years ago) link

The Key / London
Saturday 11.03.06
Live: Cosmic Sandwich (aka Steve Barnes)

― terry lennox. (gareth), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i was disappointed that the record i really liked around 4am was NOT john starlight

You might have misheard me saying 'Ztarlight'. Possibly.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

i heard no such thing

i dont like john starlight

i like steve barnes though

and i like the 11th march

― terry lennox. (gareth), Friday, 3 February 2006 20:43 (eighteen years ago) link

though i havent heard steve barnes remix of john starlight

― terry lennox. (gareth), Friday, 3 February 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

dont forget about the good times

― terry lennox. (gareth), Saturday, 4 February 2006 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I am enjoying the new Michael Clegg record on Trapez.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 5 February 2006 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Big Sexy Land on Saturday, yeah? Lex is going to Tiga but I assume Steve is down for it (Pre-Manc meet with Affectian and JD Pisces)? Anything to avoid letting my neighbours abduct me to Inferno's (though there is bed).

― BARMS, Thursday, 16 February 2006 12:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be there. Hopefully with a large group of people.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 February 2006 12:34 (eighteen years ago) link

did anyone go to stink? i think i'll definitely go to the next one (still haven't seen michael mayer).

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 16 February 2006 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

i went to stink last week. DJ Koze played quite deep minimalism and r'n'b for a bit, Lazarus played his usual selection of whatevers hot this week. Didn't do much dancing, as my snogging partner was present- but it was really good.

Is anyone going to t-bar tonight? Ivan Smagghe and Andrew Weatherall

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Thursday, 16 February 2006 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

My plan is to go to Big Sexy Land and then maybe Tiga as well.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 16 February 2006 13:02 (eighteen years ago) link

what's Big Sexy Land?

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Thursday, 16 February 2006 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

can't make smagghe/weatherall, although i'll be interested to hear reports back from anyone who does...

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 16 February 2006 13:52 (eighteen years ago) link

i know this is more a dance music thread, but im down for essentials then straight outta bethnal tomorrow... if anyone wants the grime.

i want to come down for cosmic sandwich (gareth - tom is planning to go) but think it clashes with a night we are putting on, possibly.

other key dates (good pun huh) - triple r/riley at sud electronic 31/3, jeff samuel at the key 13/04. should be down for both of those i reckon.

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 16 February 2006 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

oops ofrgot to say alex under is playing with riley at that night

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 16 February 2006 13:56 (eighteen years ago) link

yay someone wants to go to the grime!!! ambrose, i will email you.

i was going to do weatherall/smagghe but feel like utter shit today - haven't had a quiet night in since last thursday.

on saturday my vague plan is to go to big sexy land, and then on to tiga, this will depend on a lot of things inc organisation. matt, are you and yours coming along to tiga afterwards?

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 19 February 2006 04:46 (eighteen years ago) link

haha so far my rolling dancing 2006 big dates are a virtual carbon copy of my rolling london 2005 big dates - vitalic at bugged out last jan, tomas andersson this jan; bpitch night at fabric last march, bpitch night at fabric this march. yeah, march 4 sounds ace.

tiga at bugged out was pretty good last night too!

― The Lex (The Lex), Sunday, 19 February 2006 19:29 (eighteen years ago) link

oh shit lex, really sorry...i never check my gmail and didnt see this thrwead before i went! what a shame, dirty canvas was prretty giood although a bit strange and sort of took a looong time to warm up...straigth outta bethnal was on fire! that is definitely worth going to next time, JME and skepta were big, think some of selw dem were there but dont know anything about them. JME was doing this tune which was this really philistine sort of funk, slow, heavy bare beats which were really clunky but awesome! dunno what it was. the renegade boys turned up from whitechapel but they didnt really set the room on fire any more than they had done at dirty canvas. chantelle and hattie collions were doing a decent set, plasticman was really good as well. left when newham generals came on.

― ambrose (ambrose), Sunday, 19 February 2006 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

it's ok, i didn't go in the end - was a bit down in the dumps on friday, so went to a friend's flat and drank rum until we passed out. i'll make the next one though. i saw fiddy and collins on hackney road lugging their rekkids down to 333!

did i mention ALTERN8 at bugged out yesterday? that cheered me up.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:13 (eighteen years ago) link

hello london dancing people! any info on things to do techno-wise midweek 28th Feb (Tues) to 2nd March (Thurs) and Monday 6th or March 6th (Monday)? I will be passing through London on these dates and would like to sample your nightlife, etc. I hear there is a Stink party which is supposed to be fun on Mondays first of the month: is it happening on the 6th? I can't find any info online. help

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:10 (eighteen years ago) link

yes, stink is at the t-bar in shoreditch on the 6th...

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

great, this is excellent timing! It looks like Michael Mayer is spinning on the 6th with Damian Lazarus & Margaret Dygas.

http://www.residentadvisor.net/event_view.asp?ID=11349

If any ILMers are making it out to this one I'd love to meet y'all. I'm in from Japan for few days/not a freakish internet weirdo/interested in the faces behind the names.

Also this is a free party. How do London clubs work? Do you have to get there early/be on guestlist to get in or avoid a queue?

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:39 (eighteen years ago) link

who is Margaret Dygas? i feel ignorant.

i've not been to stink, but my guess is that getting there early is advisable - anyone?

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Margaret Dygas? no idea. I just felt guilty only copy and pasting the other two.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 20 February 2006 14:52 (eighteen years ago) link

margaret dygas is a resident at back to yours and plays at fabric and has played in berlin and stuff. she was really good fun when i saw her, and also v cute. the tunes she played were in that category "dunno what this is but its wicked" - this category is massive for me cos i dont know anything except for brutalga square and a.n.other

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 20 February 2006 15:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Toby - were you aware the Old Queen's Head round the corner from your house has just been done up by the Evil Fabric Overlord?* Roots Manuva apparently played there on Friday and various other people are promised... might be worth keeping an eye on.

*I for one welcome...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooh, I am DJing at Lovelife on the 28th by the way. Come along and drink, London.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 February 2006 22:45 (eighteen years ago) link

yes matt, i am aware of that - roots manuva was only djing though, i think. i'm hoping they get really into this and end up having villalobos etc djing...

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 05:12 (eighteen years ago) link

...and I am DJing at Lovelife this Monday

it will be a HIP HOP AND R&B SPECIAL

do come!
