Dollop at Netil House

By: James Kirkup

26-03-2012

Clubnight, Gig, London, Music, News

The first time we attended a Dollop night in London, good friends of ours The Invisible were playing, one of us ended up drinking the equivalent of the Thames in rum and I forgot how to get home. Probably one of the best night’s of our lives. So it gives us great pleasure to chat about their next big party to kick-start the summer down at Netil House next to London’s trendy triangular London Fields park.

Entertaining the masses will be Guardian love-child Rustie, Numbers new bad-man Koreless (who’s playing above), South London Ordance, Boiler Rooms Charles Drakeford and the pricelss Leisure DJ crew.

Get your tickets from Resident Advisor here and Alt. Tickets here.

For more information on Dollop and their plans for the whole of Summer in London and the rest of the UK check out the promo video below, their Facebook page here, or if your that way inclined totally follow them on Twitter at @dollop_uk.

Returning to The Socials dance-filthy basement this Friday is a new Fragment favourite, Good Block.

The promo says, “Expect 70′s/80′s/90′s: Disco, Boogie, House, Hip Hop, Electro, Lazer Funk, Afrobeat” so basically the whole of your local HMV, in your eardrums, in one evening.

They’ve even got the Gigolo Medina down who did a beauty of a mix for us a few months back – listen to that above yeah.

Charles Drakeford (NTS Radio / Wholemeal)
Bradley Zero (Rhythm Section / Boiler Room)

Jackmaster vs Numbers

By: James Kirkup

20-02-2012

Clubnight, Free Music, Gig, London, Music, News

For those of you who didn’t make the epic Numbers party back in December, here’s the fantastic live set from Mr. Party Jackmaster.

“Here’s the long promised recording of my set from the Numbers LDN warehouse party back in December of last year.

There were a few Serato technicals to start with, hence the reason for the first few tracks being played without any attempt to blend them, and because it was December, I played some of biggest tunes of the year as a kind of retrospective of one of the best years of UK music in history (IMO). I also put a few of the tracks that I rinsed heavily in my sets throughout 2011, plus the usual selection of surprises. For the same reason, there’s also a few blends from my Fabric CD and the RA mix.

We need to say a really big thanks to Black Atlantic and Red Bull, but most of all the troops who stayed till half past 6 in the morning singing along to all the tracks and dancing on top of their mates shoulders. You guys made one of the best parties we’ve ever been involved in so thanks very much.”
