"It's sort of twisted minimal vs cheeky minimal" these are the words used to discribe this mix when it was given over to me by the talented Alfie Granger-Howell aka Solarity aka Spencer Vallance. Having looked high and low for a quality minimal set and failed, this set has made my fortnight (hoping Spencer Vallance will give me another in a couple weeks). Looking forward to hearing this duo through some Funktion 1 sound soon.
Check out the Spencer Vallance myspace and definitely have a listen to their first tune, it's dirty dirty tech-house, and i Love That Tune! www.myspace.com/spencervallance .
Also, check out the progressive side of things, through the eyes of Solarity.
Gouranga London @ The Battersea Barge - Minimal/Electro 12th Sept 2008
Leeds based Electro/Techno/Breaks night Gouranga (don't be expecting a Hare Krishna movement), will host there 3rd London event tomorrow night at the endearing Battersea Barge. Always an event to remember, with funkin breaks/electro controlling the dancefloor for the first half of the night and classy, twisted minimal taking the night to the end. The venue gets packed quickly and the crowd is some what samey, but the atmosphere is sweet. Drinks are pretty reasonable and there is a large outdoor area next to the barge if it all gets too much.
DJs: Ali Haszlak Malcolm Murra Erskine

Played at Space Ibiza. Loving this tune the moment. Full of cheekyness, just what I like out of tech house hese days. Look out for more from Walley me thinks...
Psychadelic, Free Spirits, Beautiful People, Incredible Sound System, Journeyful Music, these are just a few things that Boom is and most definitely was this time round.
Having been to a few Booms in the past I knew that getting there early was a good idea in order to beat the que. However, I have now decided that this is an impossible task no matter how early you get there. We arrived on the Saturday before he opening Monday and went to "unwind" at the antiBoom on the otherside of the Idanha a Nova lake for one night. After a night of stomping and various stumblings we made our way to the Boom gate, with a pit stop at the supermarket to get some supplies, and when we arrived we entered into the PreBoom car park which entitled us to first entry into the festival the following day. The PreBoom carpark was fun, a couple rigs were set up as usual, noticable a fine one from Ibiza that was playing some delightful Deep Tech House before moving onto Goa. Eventually by 6pm on Monday we got into Boom. And as always it was worth the wait. The theme for this years Boom was Earth, and on arrival the theme was evident. There wasnt the large Balinese Bamboo structures that were the Dance Floor and the Ambient Forest of the last Boom. There was however various lushous patches of greeny areas, and sculpture made from the elements. It looked amazing as always, with the noticable addition of lots of shaded areas along the lake side. There was also the addition of the Groovy Beach, which for mean was a real treat. Playing funk and reggae from 5 -9, Dub Step from 9-12, Breaks from 12 -2 and then Dub House, Minimal and Tech House till Mid day. I personally discovered loads of amazing new artists and genre from area and was a breath of fresh air after a night and morning on the main Dance Floor where your mind tends to travel. Noticable artists that stood out from the Groovy Beach were Far Too Loud and Patrick Zigon.
The Ambient Forest was amazing as usual. The best area to chillout and always playing deep soulful ambient beats. It is a great place to gets some kip if you can't find it elsewhere and get yourself some Chai and vegetarian munch from places outside of the main eating area. The beach area behind the Ambient Forest is also the best place to watch the sunrise, and get yourself and very generous Capriosca while relaxing on a float.
On the opposite side of the wee footbridge from the Ambient Forest is the Sacred Fire. This gorgeous part of the festival is full of loads of fresh greenary and patches of lanscaped garden and of course the live stage. Again a great area to get away from the Boom of the main Dance Floor. Eating here is also a good idea, as the vegan restaurant was amazing and you could rest your belly on a nice patch greenery afterwards.
A little bit further around from the Sacred Fire was the Healing Area. At the previous Booms this was much more central, but its new location suited it purpose much better. Here you join hourly meditation and yoga classy or get various treatments. Ranging from Reiki, Massages, Osteopathy, all for a minimum donation of 20 euro. This was also a place were one can reflect on the Boom experience and really wind down and have a cat nap under a specially planted bit of shrub. Now for the music on the Dance Floor. The opening of the rig was fantastic. As always it started with an ambient build up and built up into a stomping paradise. The atmosphere at this point was impossible to beat. Truly electric, and to be fair, this vibe carried on for the rest of the week. Notable acts from the week for me had to be from Artifakt, Burn In Noise, Cosmo, Fearsome Engine (the Tristan, Laughing Buddha combo), Shadow FX, Gocoo and Wild Marmalade. There was one night, perhaps the 3rd, when the music can only be described as Terror Trance, and o my days did it strike a cord. Could have been circumstances, but it sent me on a truly terrorfying journey. I love it!I cannot wait till the next one. Hopefully it will keep the mild weather that we got this year, because it can get VERY hot.

MastikSoul started his career in 92, in a time where his life was split between Portugal and France, and from where he watched the raise of a new musical culture, that in association with his strong African roots designed his talent in a unique form.Being connected to techno music for a while, where he released his first twelve-inch and developed his dj and producer skills, came in the late 90´s with the desire of embracing other styles. House music became his main inspiration.
This is one the best minimal mixes I've heard recently, full of deep qurky beats. Listen to it all the way through with good speakers to get hear the true potential.
San Miguel are putting on 5 music events over the summer, under the name Hidden Depths. There have already been 2. The first of which was in London at the Soho Revue Bar, which is an amazing venue actually. Prior to the event no one knew what the line up was, just that it was hosted by Mark Jones of Wall of Sound. The secrecy of the line up is the running theme of Hidden Depths. So in the end, everyone was treated to the likes of Shortwave Set, A Human, Propellerheads, and The Infadels, and lots of free San Miguel.
The second event was on the 10th July in Manchester, at a venue called Joshua Brooks. It was a unbelievable night. It was covered in Hidden Depths decor, big leather sofas, and huge LCD screens showing art film. The highlight though was definitely the music... obviously. Again the public were only aware that The Glimmers were going to be there. In the end though the crowd was blessed with the likes of THE Grandmaster Flash, and the Unabombers. The Glimmers smashed it, Unabombers smashed it, and The Grandmaster definitely smashed it. Here is a review from another blogger that paints a good picture http://www.buzzinelectronicmusic.co.uk/the-glimmers-grandmaster-flash-unibombers-hidden-depths-event-manchester/98 .
So that’s Hidden Depths so far. There are 3 more events to come. Secretsundaze, Chromeo, and It’s Pop It’s Art. Secretsundaze is on the 31st July at T-Bar, London. Featuring the likes of Theo Parrish, James Priestley, Giles Smith and 3 more TBC. The Chromeo event is 21st August at The End, there are another 9 acts playing including a certain somebody who was surprsingly epic at Glastonbury. The final event It’s Pop It’s Art, is on the 18th September at The Amersham Arms. Hosted by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly who I love.
The great thing about these events is that they are free if you register at http://www.sanmiguel.couk/ and you win tickets. The atmosphere at the last 2 has been amazing, and the line ups for all of them have been spectacular. Very much looking forward to seeing Theo Parrish next week at the T-bar.
