Okaydoke, I’m coming back from a forced couple-of-months hiatus, mainly due to having to find somewhere new to live and make a Kleptones base, which took rather longer than expected – Space, as you may well imagine, is at a premium in this overcrowded city, which has led to some very over-the-top rents (32% rise in three years apparently) and some rather minuscule dwellings – Being rather a tall chap with a bit of baggage, living hand-to-mouth, it’s not the most ideal of situations. Sorted now though, thank f–k, and it was just in time for us to kick off the new venue for Kleptonite<\/strong> on 10th November!<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, The Britannia in Hackney<\/strong> (map<\/a>) seemed to be an ideal venue, and so it proved, with valiant back up from the Butch Auntie<\/strong> visual massive, and Instamatic<\/strong> producing a storming and very well received debut AV set, it all went rather well. Not the hugest of sound-systems, but good enough for now – If the crowd grows, we’ll be able to afford a better PA! And we’re going to continue, second Saturday of each month<\/strong> – The next one will be on Saturday 8th December<\/strong> (special guest to be announced soon!), so if you’re in the vicinity, come down, and if you think you’d like to play a set, especially if you’re video-centric, get in touch<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\nWhile we’re on the gig front, after many attempts, I’m going to be DJing at Pretty Vacant in Dusseldorf<\/strong><\/a> on Saturday 1st December<\/a><\/strong>. Those of you will remember the last time I attempted this I ended up snowed in, so we’ll be pulling out some major weather spells to ensure it doesn’t happen this time!<\/p>\n

Finally, now all the home-moving shizzle is out of my bizzle, we can get back onto the regularly-posting-tunes-and-mixes train, so here’s a couple of classic 70s rockers given a rather dubby makeover. Hope you like, and see you soon!<\/p>\n
