Electric Minds @ Secretsundaze

I'm playing at this Bank Holiday Bonanza on Sunday and it's gonna be mega.

Secretsundaze bank holiday party @ Loft Spaces 1 & 2, Rich Mix Arts Complex, Shoreditch.

Sunday 30th May 2-10.30pm

Room 1 - secretsundaze with The Mole, James Priestley, Giles Smith + special guest

Room 2 - electric minds with Dolan Bergin, Rich 'Cosmic Truth' Chaytor & Minkioni.

Rich Mix has rarely been used for an event of this kind and the 2 top-floor studios have great views of the East End with long windows running along the width of each room, allowing natural light to flood in. Continuing with their new policies this summer, there will be no tickets available in advance. Admission on the door is £8 b4 3pm / £12 after.

To get on the paying guestlist please email info@electricminds.co.uk

Tirk: Ibiza 2010

Friend of ours, all round nice guy and proud parent, Matthew Johnson aka Matty J, told us if you're on the White Isle this Summer you'd be a fool to miss one of the Tirk throwdowns at Space.

I can spot at least half a dozen former Cosmic Truth guests in those line ups so reckon he might be right!

All you rave-dads out there, ever needed to downsize from your 1210s and turn your music room into a nursery?

Or perhaps you took your turntables to an east end boozer to put on a party and then left it a month to go down and pick them up, only for one of them to have gone walkies. (True Cosmic Truth story, and something I remain wholeheartedly sorry for Balfe!)

Well here is the solution...

PS - Who thought this post was going to be about vinyl flooring? Aha, wonder if that's where the name is from...

Tonight: Sweatshop

We (or rather I) return to the old Go!Zilla stomping ground tonight for Sweatshop.

Young Dan Hill has consistently booked top talent for his night - recently we've been spotted on the floor there dancing to 6th Borough Project and who can forget the rammed session the week after NYE when Wevvers played a blinder in the basement.

Tonight I'm upstairs with Minkioni, Dave O (Mintvibe) and Jonathan Amplify, while electronic boogie maestro Linkwood and 'Raymond' Mang are downstairs with Danimal.

I don't care if stencils are 'played' or whatever. And I'm not looking for the sub-graphical underlying meaning that the artist is subconsciously projecting. It-looks-cool-ok.

Still on the sunshine vibe?

Following Dickie's excellent James Mason selection, here's some more low-slung BBQ soul for y'all. And the track title is kind of fitting too.

And thanks to Gabriella for the link in the first place.
