Official UK WATMM Meetup

(actually I dunno, what makes something official anyway ....)

Anyways, I'm having a birthday bash at the Ginglik on 24th April with some mates and thought it could be a good idea for folks round here to have a big ol' meet up and a boogie. On the night is the monthly I Love Acid do which is always a right good laugh even if (like me) you're not really a fan of the whole acid genre.

The night starts about 7/8-ish but the venue doesn't normally start filling up closer to nearer 10 or 11 (but never normally get over packed). More details of the night and the ginglik in general can be found here ( http://www.ginglik.co.uk/?page_id=654 )

(and directions available here)

So yeah, come - it'll be grand We might try and get the new cubus album finished before the night for some freebie handouts (though I can't guarantee that !)...

Hopefully we can get a whole bunch of watmm uk-posse photos to put up on here after the night

I Love Acid – Third Birthday Party! Balkan Vinyl Label Party!

 

London’s best monthly celebration of the sound of the TB303, presents a very special Balkan Vinyl label party, with four live acts.

 

BALKAN VINYL PARTY

Four live acts from UK label Balkan Vinyl, who all feature on the labels 6-part vinyl series, each record themed to a different colour. This is the second Balkan Vinyl party hosted by I LOVE ACID, with Mark Archer, B12, Global Goon, and Richard Wigglesworth leading the line in January this year.

UK techno duo Posthuman play a rare full live set. With recent vinyl releases on B12, Handsette, and Uncharted Audio picking up plaudits & plays from Laurent Garnier, Tayo, Chris Coco, Stanton Warriors, Rob Da Bank, Dave Clarke, DJ 3000, and many more, the pair play a set of bass-driven techno & raved up electro from their upcoming album Syn Emergence.

CURSOR MINER

An I Love Acid favourite, wonky-bass-filth specialist Cursor Miner returns to Ginglik promoting his latest 12” “Shakin’ Heathens / Mad cow’. Expect a full-energy show of the wazziest bass, most spankingest snares, and agricultural funk. Yes, that’s right: Agricultural. You know you want to.

Here’s Mr. Miner in action at his last appearance at I Love Acid, back in November 2008:

SYNTHEME

Planet-Mu’s queen of Acid, Syntheme effortlessly fuses rave, minimal techno, acid and electro, while keeping the dancefloor jumping thoughout.

See her in action here:

DEBASSER

UK Bass don Debasser first burst onto the scene with the anthem ‘Fat Girls’ which was released by the late Disco D’s detroit ghetto-tech label, GTI Records, before being picked up on by Richie Hawtin and re-released on Novamute. Since then, Debasser has cemented his place as one of the leading lights of the UK Bass sound, fusing breaks, garage and electro with the US Booty sound, also establishing his own label WIDE, and picking up fans from Andy Weatherall and Radioactiveman to Deekline and Luke Slater.

 

Full Members free / P.A.Y.G. Members & guests £6 before 12am, £8 after / 7pm-4am

N.B. I'm not getting anything to plug this or am associated with the ginglik in any way ... It's just that I love it there so much I thought more people here should join in the fun too !

Interested!

me too

I have read only good things about Ginglik, and somehow never managed to actually get there for a night out.

Im interested too, I will bounce it off a couple of my london raving buddies and let you know!

Gah! I will be utterly skint then. Another time.. :(

I too will be utterly skint. my bird won't though coz she's like, sensible with money and shit.

bangface mate

Bangface is full of mentals, Ginglik is the gentleman's choice

Note - I have no basis for that opinion

Richard Wigglesworth.

i'd probably be going to that anyway, would be cool to have a bigger WATMM turnout though! any Londoners around this thursday really need to come to this too;

i've spent the last 4 month inegrating MIDI, OSC and FFT controlled visuals into my liveset and this'll be the first showing. mrcopypasta will also be doing visuals for other acts on the night.

how about us lot hiring out a venue and playing live? like, a proper wattem gig. invite whoever you want, charge a small amount on the door, have a laugh and hear some quality choons...?

We're the most unorganised bunch of peoples ever. the prospect of sourcing a venue and staffing it, getting people to play and peoples to turn up sounds a little ambitious ... Hell I can't even manage just the last one !

Nice idea all the same !

I'm investigating the possibility but that date isn't great for me, I do like these Balkan vinyls though so this should be a good night

I've been trying to reach an I Love Acid for so long now... I'll be at Bangface :(

@mcbpete

drop me a pm. if it's your birthday i'll sort you some free entry etc.

The warm up DJ on April 24th is this guy - http://soundcloud.com/hanal so there should be plenty of electronic goodness from early on.

Of course you guys had to do this just over a month after I was in England. Fuck. I'd love to go if I was there but unfortunately I'm in this gay shithole they call CAH-NUH-DUH

canada is rad don't you talk shit about canada

I can talk shit about Canada as I live here and the weather constantly kicks me in the testicles. Much the same as you would be free to talk shit about Australia if you felt so inclined to do so. I won't say shit about Australia though except that you guys should chill the fuck out with your game rating system.

One week to go !

bah, for some reason i thought this was tonight and was getting fizzy knickers. if it's next weekend then i can't go cause finals start on the monday. fucknuckles.
