NOW! That’s What I Call C*L*A*S*H Vol #1 was sent to us by the finalist in the recent Panik collaboration night, C*L*A*S*H (pictures here).  Mr. Casual Customer crafted some of his own mash ups that proved to be controversial!   Panik can only say that they were made by his own fair hand and there were no rules restricting that!  The next C*L*A*S*H will be held in April – drop us a mail to enter a team

The mix features the mash ups Mr CC made especially for the event.  On the day he only armed himself with nine mash up tracks (only just enough to see him through to the final), which we think was especially brave as most teams on the night brought an MP3 player jam packed with choons!

Listen and enjoy below

Panik came across Guerrilla Lighting through a friend of the site.  They seem to have been doing what one can only describe as lighting ‘flash mobs’.  They have had events in Northern Ireland to Turkey and loads of places in between.

GL bring into public focus the misuse of lighting on certain buildings whilst highlighting those that need some kind of strategic lighting.

Their basic ethos seems to be:

• not all buildings need or deserve to be lit – strategic lighting plans should exist for all cities
• architectural lighting is not a competition – brighter is not better
• poorly designed and installed lighting should be prevented – cities should establish and enforce a minimum standard of quality
• all wasteful use of light should be prevent – leaving the lights on all night in large glazed offices should be a criminal offence

If you visit their site or go to their Facebook group you can see upcoming events and past ones too.  Panik gives this a thumbs up – Besides it is surely about time we had some architecture up in here!

Below are some pics taken by the event organisers and participants.

Friends of Panik Mike H and Mike P have got together more through indecision than collaboration to bring what sounds to be a great night of fun and frolics at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club.
Taking Mike H’s love of the 1984 Diamond Dogs album by David Bowie as their inspiration and Mike P’s love of ‘the dogs’ (races that is!), they have decided to incorporate the two – culminating in David Bowie at the Races.

With what promises to be night of good music, gambling, CHEAP booze, dressing up like Bowie or a race punter and much hi-jinx!  Including:

David Bowie Cabaret

**The Man Who Sold the World (to pay off his Ladbrokes Account)**

**An unlicensed Deutschmark bookmaker**

**The Midnight Diamond Dogs Sweepstakes**

**Prizes!!**

**TOP DJ’s PLAYING**

Bowie, Rock N Roll, disco classics, Northern Soul, a bit of what you fancy, MODERN.

Plus all the usual Working Men’s Club dancey fun.

It kicks off at 8pm on Saturday the 30th of January.

Dres code: Get on your platforms, lycra and face paint or don a flat cap, sheepskin and a dog on a leash – why not combine the two?!

For such inspired frivolities there has to be a cover charge which will go to CHARITY, £5 on the door (if you are on the guest list), else £7 / £8; all money to go to a good cause (Mike H’s election campaign/Haiti DEC appeal/Labour Friends of Iraq).

Panik gives this a massive 8/10 and we ain’t even been yet!!

Firstly, Happy New Year from Panik!

For all you people of eclectic tastes there’s a treat for you.  A tour de force of young upcoming British talent cris-crossing genres and styles, hopefully making for a beautiful amalgamation of diverse sounds.  Named BACK OFF at Proud, Camden on the 6th of Jan (tix £5).  Panik is looking forward to this one!

The night includes live music from AKAYZIA, a band with urban folk stylings, well worth a look.  Other acts confirmed include Depot, who describe themselves as “Depot sound like a mix of classic 2 tone British ska with modern indie twinges”.  Others include the interesting Rotten Hill Gang, who have been seen performing at Notting Hill Carnival with the legendary Mick Jones.  (By the way we know you see a nipple from the audience at around 27secs before you all write in!)

The night will also feature live hip hop from Lewis Parker, a very diverse individual indeed.  Critically acclaimed and incredibly talented as a performer and a producer with several singles EPs and albums to his name.  And a live set from NA and Haka young upcoming UK hip hop artists.

All to be rounded off by DJ sets from Harry Love, Eniz and Benson aka b- killah cash slim.  Quote from the promoters (Polarize and Orion Treize) “DJs will be mixing into the night to bring guests a musical experience displaying the best from every genre (no dowy ones included).”  Flyer down low guys and girls….  Panik will be there! x
