What a milestone we’ve reached. 19 party’s over the last two years from the dark days at The Horse & Groom to Bestival, The Box and now The Alibi. There’s been some special nights with some outstanding friends playing top notch records until the rum ran out. But this one is set to be a spectacular addition to our third year of partying.
Mark down Saturday the 11th of February in your planna as we’ve invited down flatmate and holder of Glaswegian decent Mr. Frank Mitchell, one third of ‘This is Our House‘ and that fantastic Fragment mix from 2012 – which you can listen to below if you missed it.

Then to keep up with tradition, friend, fellow drinking partner and all round man of musical crime Mr. Tony Poland of Slutty Fringe and Juno Plus fame will be joining the fun yet again after his killer duet in December. Listen to Poland’s Fragment mix below.

2011 has been an absolute corker for Fragment. Our second full year included so much from producing the most popular night at Dalston’s Alibi every month to being quoted by Mr Rob Da Bank after DJ’ing at a wet and wonderful Bestival. It’s been a complete joyride and one we hope to continue on into 2012 with a new publication coming out, more partying and much more fun.
Thanks to everyone who’s made it happen, come down and had a good time or follows us on the blog – have a great Chrimbo and a superb new year – see you all at Alibi in January.

When we first started the publication wing of Fragment the purpose was to explore and learn about the future of news publication believe it or not. So it brings us great pleasure to preview the trailer to Page One, a documentary focusing on the brains of the New York Times newspaper.

Last year we seemed to bypass Christmas and went straight to New Years Eve, so for this year we thought it’d be nice to send off 2011 with an all round Christmas combo in one evening. To celebrate, we’ve got a gang of fine DJ’s down that we’ve wanted at Alibi all year, so fingers are crossed for a en masse partaya.
Coming down to Alibi this month:
Double Denim Records DJs
After releasing some of the best 7″ of 2011 including Stay+, Zulu Winter, Outfit and Jesse Ruins, the recording duo head down to Fragment to spin everyone’s favourite party tuna-rooners.
