  1. a new music festival in Aberdeen...

    uk-0506-338972-4787-back.jpg

    ! EARLY BIRDS TIX FINISHED !

    ! Second Release Tickets On Sale Now !

    ! Final Release due April 15th !

    The Big Beach Ball 2012 is the first edition of a new annual event taking

    place at Aberdeen Beach Ballroom and surrounding area. Snuggled along the

    Promenade with sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, this one day

    festival will open it's doors 1pm-midnight, Bank Holiday Sunday 6th May,

    closing with after parties across town until the early hours.

    On a picturesque coast of Scotland, once crowned the UK’s sunniest city by

    the Met Office (yes really), Aberdeen opens the summer season at one of

    our most iconic, historic and underused locations. With a total capacity

    of around 2,000 music fans, The Big Beach Ball utilizes the Ballroom like

    never before.

    International artists, world renowned DJs, the cream of Scottish bands and

    party starters, vintage clothing markets, craft stalls, food and drink on

    site supplied by local restaurateurs and chefs, boutique cocktails and

    numerous bars across the arena are just the beginning…

    This is unquestionably the first of its kind for the North East, giving

    the region an event it has craved for years, helping to revitalize

    Aberdeen Sea Front with cutting edge production and worldwide attention.

    !!! FIRST ACTS ANNOUNCED !!!

    17 _ MINIVAL

    Enzo Siragusa (Fuse)

    £5 early bird, £8 Door

    "When Chris Lattner mentioned to us last October that Enzo was the best DJ he knows, we just had to get him up for one of our outdoor parties. And yes we have - fellow Freaksters get ready as Enzo graces us with an exclusive 4 hours set across both venues :) So don't miss a peep."

    Attuned to the dance floor through more than a decade of DJing, Enzo’s deep groovy house sound is at the heart of London’s already iconic Fuse party at 93 Feet East that he founded. Fuse has amassed a loyal following of ravers young and old as it has fast become an institution for London clubbers. His weekly Sunday marathon DJ sets are dynamic and always subtly full of energy. Playing people rather than just music he’s known for creating a unique vibe through his sound which the Fuse faithful call Fusic.

    30th _ DUBPRESSURE ft. BEN UFO

    | BEN UFO (Hessle Audio)

    | Ennayess

    | D. Peace

    As one of the co-founders of Hessle Audio, Ben UFO has been responsible, alongside Pearson Sound and Pangaea, for some of the most varied and ground breaking releases of recent years. Having become immersed in the still emerging dubstep scenes in London and Leeds in 2005, his musical taste was shaped primarily by the DMZ and Sub Dub nights taking place in those cities. However, as tastes have shifted and scenes have fragmented, Ben UFO's approach to the music and to Hessle Audio itself has developed.

    As BPMs have dropped and influences have broadened, so too has the vision of Ben UFO's DJing. He remains one of the few DJs in the UK to have made an impact without a production career to fall back on, and as such his reputation is solely the result of his skill as a selector and as a mixer. As a result he remains in a position to fully explore sounds both old and new, across the worlds of house and garage, dubstep and grime, and further into the past. This level of commitment to the dance music of the last two decades has led to a collection of records which reflects the position London has long held as a city responsible for the constant development of forward thinking music.

  5. tomorrow at Phop, check out Bad Panda with visual from MOC -

    34838713

    "DJ Bad Panda is one of Aberdeen's best kept secrets. Thankfully through his residency at the DO IT nights we know exactly what to expect from Panda and its always a treat.

    Mixing up old skool hip hop, soul, funk, disco, punk and anything else that takes his fancy makes for a pretty fun mix that should have your feet moving! This mix was recorded live at POST # 3 where Bad Panda showed everyone how a real works.

    The visual mixer was taking a fair beating on the night too with the usual video fare being mashed up by Fraser Denholm and Kieran's brother, the results are pretty interesting so make sure and watch it right through."

    Fangs rose to prominence on the UK Channel 4 program Orange Unsigned after the shows producers saw the band playing the BBC introducing stages at Reading and Leeds Festivals.

    Fangs have played shows with JUSTICE, SANTIGOLD, THE PRESETS, SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND BLACK KIDS. Headlined shows in PARIS, BERLIN, LONDON AND BARCELONA and the world famous UK festivals - Reading, Leeds and T In The Park. THERE'S NO STOPPING THEM!

    THE QUEEN, MARKO NEIN, LLOYD ALEX and JOJO DOLL…Vicious + Delicious, Fangs tastes like nothin’ else! no-wave dirty disco direct to the dance floor.

    uk-0201-332668-front.jpg

    Huh?

    Phóp is pronounced Pop and sounds like Vincent Vega gargling gummy juice while Lou Reid tries to convince Tom Waits he’s still young enough to piss in to the wind.

    Let us not be united, divided or undecided by genre.

    Lovers! It's not your love for any one genre we seek, but rather your flailing limbs on the dance floor, your love of dancing, from Motown to Moshi, Moshi, Domino to Decca, Be-Bop, Electro Pop, or Post Rock, Phóp - there ought to BE more dancing.
