Tues 17th Jan (downstairs)

RICE AND PEAS DJ TRUTH

Dutch producer 2562 has carved himself a solid niche in the murky territory between DUBSTEP and TECHNO. Characterised by a POSTGARAGE skippiness, with rolling BASS and hyper-edited snares from broken beat, a sense of space and echo from DUB, along with a devastating 4x4 anchorage and attention to detail from TECHNO old & new. Lean, natural-sounding, dancefloor-wrecking hydrid that has found favour not only amongst DUBSTEP heads but anyone drawn to fresh and innovative club music. soundcloud. com/2562amadeupsound

HOWLER MAN MADE KUTOSIS

7.30pm-10pm *early show* £8 adv/£MOTD

HOWLER is the brainchild of 19 year old frontman Jordon Gatesmith, who claims to have always had a natural affinity towards early 60s American rock & pop, as well as 80s punk. His guitar skills remind one of LOU REED on ‘Transformer’, their overall sound can be described as a cross between THE CRAMPS and THE REPLACEMENTS with a dash of THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. They’ve just completed a UK tour with THE VACCINES, and release debut album ‘America (Give Up)’ on 16th January.
