Some weekend party action S&E London from Andy Blake, Ali Renault, Alex Patterson & Co.

just a quick one to say we've got world unknown coming up on friday february 12th. this time we're back at our brixton hq with dr alex patterson from the orb playing a special world unknown themed dj set.

here's a link to volumes 2 and 3 of the world unknown mixes, both by my esteemed partner in crime and friend of mr bodyhammer, joe hart.


there are also some more mixes from joe and i on the page. enjoy them and feel free to pass them around. we're also adding various interesting links and info the site all the time so keep checking worldunknown.co.uk for new things.

one current highlight on our links page is a great audio interview with ron murphy from nsc who mastered pretty much all the detroit techno releases. it's nowhere near as spoddy as you may imagine and gives a great insight into the experimental approach to music that was afoot in the windy city during the 80s and 90s.


gold blood are also gearing up for a big year with their debut 6 track ep due imminently on ali renault's human shield imprint. they also have a live gig at the macbeth on february 12th. choices choices. do you come to brixton for world unknown or go the the ditch for t'blood? why not do both? cabs are quick and easy and the more adventurous among you could even get the 35 bus as it's virtually a door to door service.

here's a free gold blood download for you to help you make up your mind.


right, thats that then.

see you soon somewhere or other.

cheers,

andy

Feature Highlights

Andy Blake is the man behind Dissident Records, one of London's most prolific (the imprint has had 30 odd releases and a CD compilation in its short lifespan) and respected Underground labels. They release in limited runs of 200 vinyl pressings and have come to the attention of Optimo, Prins Thomas, Erol Alkan, Weatherall, Francios K, Derrick May & The DFA, no mean feat as Dissident release no promos or MP3 links, the records have to be bought in ...well record shops!

Andy plays vinyl only " when it comes to me djing its records all the way. If I'm doing a gig and my names on the flyer, I'm represent myself and Dissident its vinyl or nothing. I know people like the idea of carrying thousands of tunes with them on CD or laptops, but how often does that mean they pull out some wild choice? I think it's often the case that they play safe and go with what will definitely work rather than take a chance or two. There's something really good about making a commitment to a Hundred or so tunes that you want to play and have hunch will work while you are packing your records."
