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.
Carlow Fable Save You Mix (March 2010) by Save You Records
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

To celebrate the Patron Saint of Wales day – Dydd Dewi Sant (1st of March) Cardiff – Bristol collective Chromekids have posted up their latest BBC 1Xtra show, to share on the interwebs:
Something or other about wearing your PJs to get the shop lifting done….?
Another jam that caught our attention on Mixcloud, was this Tropical Soca x Dancehall x Bhangra selection from Jillionaire:
And if you happen to be the 1 Jillionth Mixlcouder as a result of this post, please share the wealth with us!
The mighty Shane MacGowan has got together with some fine artists to produce a charity track where all proceeds are to go to the charity Concern.
Moved by the plight of the people of Haiti Shane and his girlfriend, Victoria Clarke made calls to their friends and got together with them to produce this fine rendition of classic Rock and Roll song.
Shane MacGowan’s distinct vocal style blends seamlessly into Paloma Faith’s and is then bolstered by Eliza Doolittle. Nick Cave provides a giant vocal performance alongside Chrissie Hynde which blows the track into a sky-rocketing crescendo where the driving musical skills of the band which included Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, Mick Jones of the Clash, the Walbourne Brothers and Johnny Depp’s guitar solo come into their own!
Panik loves this track and, go on, it’s for charity – In fact, it’s a great track for charity, much better than that weak stuff from Mr. ITV himself Simon Cowell! Listen to some real Rock and Roll giants!
I Put A Spell On You is out for on the 8th of March but pre orders are available here.
