After having gone down to the Book Club in East London to check these guys out at a free gig put on by Red Bull Academy we thought we should put some pictures that we took. Enjoy…
Our man Rob is launching his new label in London, UK this Saturday with another event soon to be held in Frankfurt, Germany. Teaming up with Carl Hanaghan of Hed Kandi to push house and techno in a new direction, we present their manifesto.
Save You Records is the new home for those deep, techy and “ooooo, let me hear that one more time” house and techno tracks that save us from the repetitive and mundane. Save You Records is all about having an open and honest platform for emerging and established artists to distribute music that is true to them and us. Music to Save You is our mantra.
What the flyer doesn’t say is that the label are installing a Funktion One soundsystem in the venue especially for this event! See you there.

Friends of Panik kindly informed us of a night held by Shaun Bass of Neon Skullz. Which promises to be a BIG ONE!
After their last party, Aztecs on Acid Neon Skullz thought it was time for another night of fancy dress mayhem or in their words,
“another psychotropic soup of Global Ghetto beats, Transcendental dance,
neo-tribal ceremonies, insane fancy dress and otherworldly artwork.”
The venue is being kept secret until tonight, so get in touch via the Facebook Link or calling Shaun direct on 07728614291.
As well as all the delicious ear candy and heavy basslines that you will be party to, there promises to be some floor entertainment in the shape of:
Voodoo Burlesque and Pole Dancing with the Scarlet Priestess
Voodoo witchcraft with Carmen ho!
Tribal Initiation
Dutty Wine Contest
Vile poetry and stories from the masked Village Story teller

The Cardiff based arts collective ‘Peaceful Progress’ have transformed an old Boiler House into Wales’ first dedicated Graffiti and Street Art Gallery. The Boiler House includes a large indoor graffiti gallery space, over 100ft of outdoor wall space, a shop and a studio. This innovative project provides a legitimate space for graffiti artists to reach a wider audience and showcases Graffiti art as a positive and sustainable art-form. Through workshops with Schools and Community Centres the Boiler House will inspire young people to get creative, and will be especially good at engaging with hard to reach groups of young people.
The Boiler House will hold monthly exhibitions featuring the best of local and national Graffiti artists. The independent shop is open to the public and stocks original and affordable canvas work by graffiti artists based in South Wales. The grand opening is on the 27th February, from 12pm – 10pm, come down and experience counter culture at its best.
See www.boilerhousegraffiti.com for more information.
Peaceful Progress was founded by Graffiti artist Bryce Davies in 2000, and now represents a number of artists and performers based in South Wales. Peaceful Progress were responsible for the Fair Play festival held in Canton in 2008/2009 which raised over £1000 for War on Want (08) and the The SAFE Foundation (09). Currently Peaceful Progress run the monthly ‘Dub in the Pub’ nights at the Lansdowne Pub and the group tour the festival circuit throughout the summer with the Peaceful Progress Graffiti Tent. The Boiler House is a community based project to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together through Graffiti art.

Formed in Reykjavik in 2005, we discovered FM Belfast on our last trip to the 2008 edition of Iceland Airwaves. Playing the headline slot of the Saturday night on home turf, the anticipation buzzing round the city residents provided but a hint of what was to come.
The credit crunch had just hit the country hard, financial institutions were going bankrupt and the currency was in freefall but the band swept that all aside, tearing the cloaks of cynicism off the shoulders of many a jaded hipster in attendance. Playing a set that featured their album How to Make Friends and incorporating their famous take on RATM and Technotronic, if joy had a physical manifestation, this was it.
Currently on a European Tour, FM Belfast bring their synth pop sound (but more importantly their show) to our backyard on March 2nd and headline their first London gig at Hoxton Bar and Grill. And if their music wasn’t enough already, they are also giving away a trip to Iceland for two including flights and accomodation! You could say they’ve come to our shores too late to capitalise on the 80’s revival but if you think Pop should have more optimism and wit than the androgynous saccharine of La Roux, this is the gig for you.
