Fast cars, money, but no record label to truly call my own? This ends today…

The mighty Julio Bashmore has started his own record label, Boardwalk Records, and the first track is an aboslute beaut from the man himself, called Au Seve, BW001, out 2 July.

The more I listen to his ‘mysteriously swashbuckling house music’ Radio 1 show the more I like him and his laid back, dry Bristolian humour. His tweets are bloody funny too: see below “My brother’s haloumi self-portrait”

Here’s last night’s offering from the Radio 1 studios: Julio Bashmore, In New DJs We Trust, 17/05/2012

The guys behind VOID have stepped things up a little since we spoke to them back in July last year, just before they embarked on their all-day party at Public Life. By partnering with Twin Sister, extending their dancing hours and showcasing two of the biggest names in techno, Ben Klock (Ostgut Ton/Klockworks) and Tommy Four Seven (CLR), there is absolutely no doubt that they’re now an enormous force to be reckoned with.

Whilst Ben Klock embarks on a mammoth 6 hour set in the main room (4am-10am), we’ll be rounding up things up in the front room; doing our best to soundtrack sunrise over Brick Lane. Come and join us, this is going to be one hell of a party!

You can pop in and out for a daytime dance whenever you please, but you’re going to need a ticket after the klock strikes midnight on Sunday. There are still a limited number available on RA here, and at the moment there are due to be a few on the door too…

Get down early to avoid disappointment, this is going to be Mr. Klock’s longest set yet in London Town.

His style on the decks is damn smooth, and he’s been playing at the Art House in Worcester while organising the Not For Squares nights all over the midlands. He’s sent us a recent mix back to back with 2manyidiots, and we’re promised a Sonar special in honour of our first meeting.

The next Not For Squares is tomorrow at the Arthouse, with special guest, Hot Creations‘ Mark Jenkyns, and it’s pretty special because it’s raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre (MSRC). See you on the dancefloor.

Our good friends Eskimo Twins are playing, and have been back in the studio working on some new material together. They’ve kindly agreed to give away a rework of Bruce Haack‘s 1970s Program Me from the album The Electric Lucifer, keeping some of the psychedelia and the Apocalypse Now style jungle-mystery and adding in a heavy dose of cowbell and metal-infused whispers.

You can also download their April mix, so whet your appetite with these:

It’s free, so come down after work and have a little dance with us.

Wildkats are absolutely everywhere at the moment and that’s fine by me; I can’t get enough of them. This little number is by two-thirds of the trio Scott Dickie and Stuart Sandeman, and featuring Miguel Puente’s Small Proposition, my absolute favourite track from the man yet, and that’s saying a LOT.

I’m pretty damn excited so let’s have a listen together.

It is this trust that they’re enlisting tomorrow night as they turn their hand to events management for the first of their Movement series, to take place from April to June at new venue Hysteria in Dalston. The theme here is that the identity of the guest DJ will remain a mystery as the curation skills of Walsh and Avery come to the fore (although their decks skills won’t be forgotten, with sets from them both).

We welcome a new Thursday night, we embrace using our ears properly once again rather than drowning in hype, and we look forward to some forward-thinking sounds.

See you on the dancefloor.

Check the beautiful use of Hot Chip‘s stripped-down collaboration with country singer Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) I Feel Bonnie into the original I Feel Better at 30 minutes too.
