And if just the mere thought of it all wasn't enough to whet your appetite, Droog have only gone [...]

They're some of the most listened to deep house podcasts that you will find and are always jam-packed full of serious tunage. His latest podcast, Episode 9, landed yesterday. The first half is very deep, but picks up after about 30 mins when H.O.S.H's incredible 'What Do You Want Me To Say ' drops. Stay tuned for more podcasts in this series as and when they arrive.

Can you keep a secret? OK - cool. So a new little basement space has cropped up on Kingsland Road - and they're doing a cheeky pre-launch party this Saturday (17th Dec 2011). Run by Potty Mouth promoter and long-time friend of WANARB, this 200 capacity venue will be open weekly and promises to become quite a hit on the East London scene.

'Home' by M.A.N.D.Y vs. Bookashade has been put through the remix mill and the results are explosive. Tim Green, Jona and Monaque have all added superb interpretations to it – but my personal fave is the Tim Green mix. London-based Tim Green has been an ever-present name in Tech / Deep House in recent years, but a string of impressive releases in 2011 has catapulted him to the upper echelons of the scene. Looking forward to what 2012 has in store… Home Remixes Part 1. is out now. You can buy it here , or [...]
So I guess you must be here because you clicked a link inviting you to watch Fatboy Slim, Riva Starr & Beardyman Get Naked? Well I can tell you now that's not gonna happen. What you will get however is three large burlesque ladies portaying the artists and a fun, bouncy, head nodder of a club track. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending what you're into) they don't Get Naked . In describing his sound, Starr could be describing the video too: "The Riva Starr sound has many different angles to it. It's [...]
I'm gonna assume that by now, you've probably already heard Azari and III's latest single 'Reckless (With Your Love)'? The Torontonian four piece have been virtually impossible to ignore this last year. In fact, you're probably already a fan? What you may not have heard however is this great Tiga remix of said single (featuring a classic Tiga bassline) which you can stream below. Reckless (With Your Love) officially drops, on 12 th February, with super-producer Paul Epworth stepping up on remix duties, offering a radio edit and mix. Further remixes come [...]

After last years ' Rubber ' (a movie about a car tire called Robert, which has a mind of its own and goes on a murderous rampage). The Ed Banger DJ / producer / film maker / all round legend - Quentin Dupieux (aka Mr Oizo) is back with another dose of weirdness. WRONG tells the story of... well to be honest I'm not that sure. If the first trailer is anything to go by it would seem to be about a dog detective, investigating the case of a missing dog?! With a cast that includes East Bound [...]
So we're in December already and the question "What are we going to do New Years Eve?" is one that's been on peoples lips for a while. If you're still one of those trying to decide then Eastern Electrics is here to make that decision easier for you. Consistently one of our favourite London parties, EE brings together as always a terrific combo of promoters ( Bloc , Mulletover, Warm & Snowbombing) . Along with sterling a line up in each room. Being held this year at the HUGE venue that is the Corronet Theatre in [...]
Regarded by many as one of the break through artists of 2011 - Eats Everything (aka Dan Pearce) has enjoyed such a fantastic year on the underground house scene, with releases on labels Pet Recordings and Dirty Bird riding high in the Beat Port charts, it came as no surprise he would be supplying an Essential Mix some time soon. Recorded live in his home town of Bristol in front of a crowd of 1000 at In:Motion, a converted skate park with a network of warehouses, which features killer line ups every [...]
Mondkopf's latest album Rising Doom, ( a gothic blend of electronica, inspired by post-punk, black metal and the music of Aphex Twin and Autechre) has been on heavy rotation on our iTunes for a couple of months now. So you can imagine our delight upon hearing the news that the 24 year old Parisian would be bringing his enigmatic, audio visual experience to XOYO next Friday, 18th November. The sensory defying live show claims to "immerse the audience in black and white tension", merging awesome visuals with a sound that connects to electronica, indie, dub-step, rave and [...]

LA's Glitch Mob is made up of members edIT, Boreta and Ooah (aka Ed Ma, Justin Boreta and Joshua Mayer). Since meeting in 2005 they've been regularly slaying crowds and smashing dance floors around the globe with their bass heavy brand of electronica and hip-hop-influenced basslines. Last year they released their first full length LP "Drink the Sea" which saw them make the transition from DJs to live act. Since then the trio have toured the world twice and found themselves fast becoming one of America's most exciting dance acts. We caught up with Ooah ahead of their London [...]
We can guarantee this year you'll be remembering the 5th November not for Guy Fawkes, but as the night Spectrum shook Electric Brixton with their bass heavy line up. Featuring The Glitch Mob live, Shy FX and MC Wrec, Loadstar , Drumsound & Bassline Smith and many more, Spectrum London's November event packs a heavyweight punch. One of America's most hype-worthy live dance acts, The Glitch Mob (pictured) [...]

We're giving away 2 pairs of tickets for PM Halloween Special on Friday 29th October. DJs Danny Daze, Clive Henry, Agaric, Martin Dawson, Jay Shepheard and Potty Mouth residents will all be descending on Village Underground for what is arguably the line up of halloween this year. Over the years, Potty Mouth has written itself into folklore by throwing awesome halloween parties, but I think this their best line up yet. The winners of this comp will also be granted access to the 'Guest Area', which is a little backstage type bit where the DJs are probably [...]
8th birthdays are usually tremendous affairs. Cake, candles, balloons, presents, maybe a clown. No such frivolities for Phonica Records. Instead they booked out the normally wonderful 3-arched Great Suffolk Street Warehouse and pulled together one of the most impressive lineups South London has seen all year. With Matt Tolfrey's Leftroom arch playing host to both Benoit & Sergio and Visionquest, and the Phonica arch featuring Joy Orbison and Soul Clap , you'd think you'd have the night covered. But it was former-Phonica-employee Heidi who had, for us, the winning arch. [...]
We caught up with talented young DJ and producer A1 Bassline ahead of his set this Friday at The Future Now at Kings Cross club The Egg. Hailing from Croydon, A1 Bassline, aka Christian Sibthorpe, has been on our radar for a while but with the current rerelease of his banging track Falsehood on dirtybird we thought it was about time to have a chat about all manner of topics from Claude Von Stroke to moths to Croydon Hot-Spots... Hi A1 Bassline. Hope you're doing well today. [...]
