333 Mother

333 Old Street London EC1V 9LE.

£5 8pm – 3 am Friday 27 January

Slipped Disco celebrates its seventh birthday by returning to its Shoreditch roots to start a new residency at the multi floored 333 Mother – one of SD’s first venues. To get the party started Slipped Disco has invited a typically diverse selection of talented acts to play. It’s also hosting the debut outing of The Magic Wheel, which will test the DJs’ versatility by randomly switching music genre.

The 333 Mother launch night sees Slipped Disco returning to its DJ and live music format, with Italo disco and house DJ Severino lining up with Pete Tong’s aide de camp, Nico de Cigelia, as house remix duo Hyena Stomp. Severino is also one of the residents behind the power house of disco that is Horse Meat Disco. Joining them on the decks are disco and techno maestro Serge Santiago, half of Retro/ Grade with Tom Neville, and Slipped Disco host, DJ Ben Osborne.

Meanwhile members of the audience in the Magic Wheel room will spin the Wheel and determine a new genre. Expect to hear music from the sublime to the ridiculous, see wheel-based performances, and have your life changed – or at least turned up-side—down – every half hour or so…

In the live room the selection of fast rising talent sees singer songwriter Kal Lavelle top the bill. Lavelle is Ed Sheeran’s support act of choice and the voice on Artful’s club hit; ‘It Must Be The Bass Line’. Joining her is Music Week’s hotly tipped electronic act Kevin Pearce – live voice of I Monster’s Daydream In Blue hit. Catch him here first.

Brighton’s Tiny Dragons have been storming the UK recently, fronted by one of the most powerful bass playing front women in the country. After a long break, singer songwriter Peter Hepworth signals a renaissance by returning to London for the second time this year. London based Mexican electro act Evokateur caught the attention of Gary Newman last year – who kindly offered to remix their debut single. They join the line-up here in the run-up to their second release.

Amongst the first club nights to embrace London’s neo disco scene, Slipped Disco takes disco as the root of modern dance music, but accepts it’s slipped a bit into other genres. Over the last seven years Slipped Disco’s invited acts from a diverse range of genres to get their groove on. It’s been responsible for introducing many of Paris’ leading electro acts to the capital, alongside leading lights from the Amsterdam house, Norwegian electronica and Italian disco scenes, hosting sub bass and funky jams and diving head first into the capital’s re-emerged house, techno and psychedelic scenes.

7 Year Itch – Friday 20 January

by noise of art on Dec.05, 2011, under Events

Slipped Disco kicks off its celebration of seven years of forward thinking music with a night of seminal DJs and up-and-coming bands.

DIESEL + JUSTIN ROBERTSON + BEN OSBORNE + BLEEDING HEART NARRATIVE + KEVIN PEARCE BAND + FRED’S HOUSE + RYAN KEEN + PETER HEPWORTH

93 Feet East
150 Brick Lane
Whitechapel
London
E1 6RU
7pm-1am FREE entry all night

Split over two rooms, a live room and a club room, and featuring everything from bumping b-line house to live electronica, alt folk and deep techno. The DJ line-up sees Justin Robertson (Madchester mainstay and Lion Rock founder) and Diesel, half of Xpress 2 (who release their first album in five years in January 2012), spin alongside resident DJ Ben Osborne.

The live room is a double header, as Bleeding Heart Narrative, who’ve been turning heads with their Brain Love released Bison mini LP, are joined by hot new electronic talent, Kevin Pearce, whose debut single, Don’t Fall Down, has just been chosen for Music Week’s best of 2011 CD. Expect to hear a lot more from these two acts in 2012.

Singer songwriter Ryan Keen is another act whos threatening to breakthrough this year, as is Cambridge based Fred’s House, whose vocal harmonies take their cue from the late Sixties. Starting off the live music on the night will be East-Anglian troubadour Peter Hepworth.

New Year’s Eve: Noise of Art’s Psychedelic Curiosity

by noise of art on Dec.04, 2011, under Events

psych_grl
Noise of Art’s New Year’s Eve event at Sketch, with Ben Osborne, Luca Santucci, The People Pile, Overlap, Your Mum, Walkabout/ Prick Image, Kevin Pearce, Peter Hepworth, Fred’s House, The Medicine Shop, Louise Golbey and special guests to be announced.

New Year’s Eve at Sketch, London
31st December 2011 – 1st December 2012

Sketch, 9 Conduit Street, London, W1S 2XG

The Noise of Art entry list for this event is now full. If we’re not seeing you on the 31st we hope to see you very soon at our next events in 2012.

Noise of Art returns to the stunning party space at Sketch for NYE 2012, with a new immersive club event featuring music, art, film, performance, dance, surround projections and occurrences of curiosity.

On the 45th anniversary of the UK’s Psychedelic movement, Noise of Art’s new show is inspired by the 19th Century imagery of the late Sixties (think Blake’s iconic cover art and inner sleeve cut out moustaches). The immersive club event imagines that Sergeant Pepper, Pink Floyd and The Avengers were the result of two universes colliding in 1967; throwing people from a parallel steam punk world into the Carnaby Street scene of swinging London (which happens to be two minutes walk from the venue).

The resulting psychedelic Victoriana features DJs, coal-fired flower power, contemporary dancers, and folk singers, curiosities of nature and, visiting the capital for the very first time, the drawing room disco that is a Benefit For Mr Kite, and 360 degree magic lanterns of psychedelic imagery.

Musical acts will begin with Sixties folktronics, and rise to steam-powered cosmic house, psyched-out-disco and coal-fired techno.

Sikh beat-boxer Jason Singh, who started working with film after winning a PRS for Music Foundation Award in 2010, is creating a new collaborative work, with poet Avaes Mohammed and film maker T.J Jeffrey, specially for the night.
