"Zombie" seems to be the word on everyone's lips this week, whether it's the global news discussing the shocking events in Florida; or the music press discussing Nat Self aka Zombie Disco Squad's latest album Brains. Released this Monday past on Made To Play; its coincidental timing certainly catches society obsessing madly over flesh-eaters. Here at We Are Not A Rockband we like to keep things simple and have combined the two topics for you and taken advantage of the fact he's playing at this weekend's SOS Jubilee Sunday Warehouse party and had a chat with Zombie Disco Squad [...]
Photo by Rebecca Thomas London's Andy Blake is seemingly as disinterested in doing things by half as he is by doing them the easy way. After maintaining a breathless pace of releases for three years with his label Dissident - averaging a brand new, vinyl-only, single-sided, limited-pressing 123 record every three weeks or so - Blake pulled the plug at the end of 2009. This was just as the city's disco revival was hitting its peak, aided in no small part by the label's releases from Gatto Fritto, Discodromo and Neville Watson. In the following two [...]
It's all go for Legendary Children . Not only have they moved into production, with a remix for Clock Opera , but they've also been planning a mammoth party for their second birthday . As always they've booked the cream of the crop with knob-twiddlers Ed DMX and Andy Blake, the latter of which has provided a lovely balearic mix for you to listen to in the sun while you're warming up for the party.
So they say that Dissident Records died back in 2009. This UK label, headed by notorious EDM aficionado Andy Blake achieved cult status for its consistent top-notch quality and refreshingly purist approach to recording and distributing music. With little to no internet presence or marketing outreach, the label simply let the music speak for itself. It was built with a lofty and genuine ideal, and low and behold, they came. Featuring artists such as Den Haan , Hard Ton , Cage & Aviary , Clap Rules , Neville Watson and many others, [...]
[ Cave Paintings ] Those keeping tabs on the crude daubings of Cave Paintings know the score by now. One session, one take. All analog, all Andy Blake, mastered directly to the vinyl lathe, with no digital interference. Cave Paintings appears to be the most personal of all of Blake's passion projects, but after the ferociously prolific and short-lived of output of Dissident, and with the newest of his new labels, In [...]
I'm a bit late with this one, but just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that came down to our second SOCIETY warehouse party last friday and made it so special. Marshall, Andy, Dan and our own Class of 808 boys all played fantastic sets but it was you guys who really made it. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more diverse, friendly and up for it crowd. Check out more pics from the night here , video footage coming soon... 'Like' our new facebook page to stay up to date [...]
World Unknown - Brixton - Friday 8th July 2011 After buying most of the back catalog from his Dissident label and finally catching a mind blowing set playing support to Chicago legend Marshall Jefferson at SOCIETY last Friday, we are relieved to hear it's only a week til we get to witness some more vinyl dance floor destruction courtesy of the one and only Andy Blake. This Friday sees the launch party for World Unknown, a new vinyl label attached to the monthly happening sharing its name. One of Brixton's best kept sonic secrets, [...]
Headman returns with a resplendent version of Japan's 'Adolescent Sex'; It's his first release since last years '1923' long player, we feature the excellent Andy Blake (Dissident) live dub which channels the same type of analogue funk that those DFA types used to furnish us with on a regular basis. Get the EP here . Headman- Adolescent Sex (Andy Blake Live Dub)

Just over three weeks until the next SOCIETY featuring Marshall Jefferson and we have some brilliant news. Joining Jefferson on the night will be: ANDY BLAKE DAN BEAUMONT Founder of Dissident Recordings as well as promoter and DJ at World Unknown in Brixton, ANDY BLAKE is often cited as the DJ for music geeks.

Wrong Things return to The Queen Of Hoxton this Friday with HMD don Jim Stanton joining Rudy's Midnight Machine and the Neo Disco Punk posse in the basement to test that Funktion One system in the basement. Of more interest is upstairs where former Dissident, current Cave Paintings and soon to boss of another record label Any Blake gets yet another chance to show why his record collection is better than yours, mine or indeed anyone elses with the second edition of the 7 > 12 night. Offering Blake a chance to delve through [...]
It's March already, but it is with great pleasure that I can share the first SSSSOUNDTRACK of the year with you, the 10th edition so far and a very special one it is! On decks is legend Andy Blake; Andy was once upon a time the captain of the good ship Dissident , a heavily armoured pirate vessel that he deliberately dashed upon the rocks a while back when he woke up one morning and realised he was bored with it and had better pack it in before everyone else decided they were too. 'Live fast, die young, [...]
