Easter Sunday: Late Night Audio

Late Night Audio is a night we here at The Cosmic Truth have got a lot of mutual respect for and are fortunate to count Toby and Danny as good mates. Therefore given the opportunity to have an intimate little Easter sunday shindig we jumped at the chance.

I'll let the LNA boys give the M.O.


Late night audio returns for 2010 with its original line up for Bank Holiday Easter Sunday at the all new Drop Venue Stoke Newington.

Very limited capacity, a special martin audio floodlight sound system has been installed and lovingly tuned for clarity and audio purity. We will also be warming up the new sound system with a Rane 1620 rotary mixer to ensure depth and good vibrations.

Late night audio has been busy of late focussing on the recording side of the creative collective. Soon to be released is the Toby Tobias Macasu E.P. This features four amazing cuts on ltd edition quality vinyl soon to be in the shops imminently. To follow this will be the Das Volt E.P with an eagerly anticipated remix from none other than Mark E.

Late night audio has been focusing on influences by the less well known, but no less legendary tracks and Dj's from Disco, early Boogie, Balearia and leftfield electronic jams to stripped back modern workouts, that re-translate them into warm late night emotive sounds and speaker collages for 21st century.

This night is one not to be missed, true late night sounds.

Bank holiday raving

Secretsundaze this weekend... After the massive bank holiday opening party we played at in May, we are very excited!

We're doing the upstairs space with the Late Night Audio boys, Danny Clark and Toby Tobias.

Downstairs, the line up is about as good as house gets, with James & Giles, Steve Bug from Poker Flat, Canadians Guillaume and the Coutudumonts playing live, and the house legend that is Doc Martin playing an exclusive London gig.

The setting is THAT club, secluded somewhere in the Greenwich peninsula, which means there's no need to worry about keeping the sound up nice and loud on the huge terrace, all day and night!

Get in touch if you fancy coming down.

Summer time

Whilst Dickie's been off spreading the Cosmic message to our oriental bredren in China and Hong Kong, jet setting disco crustacean that he is, I've been making the most of summer in Blighty.

As well as another excellent session with Greg Wilson and the Hellfire Club boys, there was impromptu set at Lovebox with Danny from Late Night Audio, standing in for Toby Tobias, who fancied a lie-in.

 

Last weekend, it was up to Cambridge for the extremely mental Secret Garden Party. We had a bit of a Chocolate Vanilla / Cosmic Truth collaboration happening on the Where The Wild Things Are stage, as we kept the system warm between the bands. 

There were some great performances over the weekend, including the ever excellent Invisible, celebrating their recent Mercury Music Award nomination (congratulations lads!), and Cosmic favourites, the Golden Silvers.  

Another highlight were Canadian three-piece Caribou, who I saw for the first time on Saturday night, and was completely blown away. Pounding rhythmic drums, coupled with layered Beach Boys-style harmonies. This band come very highly recommended! Check them out... 

The rest of the weekend was spent wandering the site, checking out the various sporadic happenings that make the Secret Garden Party such a crazy place. From Lancashire hippies passing around peace pipes, to late-night swing speakeasies, to gypsy bands hanging from tree tops... It's not your average weekend. 

Today, half of the East End seem to be heading to Field Day. Amongst the many excellent parties this evening, the Electric Minds 4th birthday party gets our seal of approval, especially since label boss Dolan Bergin will be joining us at our next Cosmic Truth session on Saturday 8th August. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Ace new music for you to go out and buy!

Ok, this is the thing. Sometimes records come out that you just have to get your hands on, and here is one such record: The excellent first release on Late Night Audio recordings from Das Volt. 

Not an edit in sight, this is warm, enveloping, original music, produced using vintage analogue synths, for a truly rich and immersive sound. I've been playing the deep, slow and groovy Fantasy instrumental since I got hold of this record, but the remixes of Gestures, from Toby Tobias and Fabrizio Mamarella, both add completely new directions. A must. Go buy it now!
