Where Is My Mind? LAUNCH NIGHT (A new week night party for people who REALLY like music)

Where Is My Mind? LAUNCH NIGHT!

Starting on December 3rd is a new Thursday night club experience, happening at the always improving NEW HERO in Brighton.

What is Where Is My Mind? Well we will tell you.

Imagine if you coudl go to a night and not sit there thinking "oh god not this fucking song again".

Imagine if you went to a night and they played a song only you thought you knew about.

Imagine if you could go to a night and not have to put up with 400 people who only went as they walked along the beach and had no where better to go.

Imagine if you went to a night and the people playing the songs cared about what they played

Imagine if you went to a night and they played current new songs from upcoming bands as well as established acts and classics all in one massive party

Well shit the bed you don't need to dream anymore, Where Is My Mind? is the club night for you. We care about what we play and want you to have fun, having give aways when we can get them, playing new singles along side classics, and if you know a song you think we should play, tell us, and we'll track it down. But the chances are we will have it already.

Where Is My Mind? playing stuff like this

black dice//the mars volta//kings of convenience//the postal service// desaparecidos//devotchka//bowie//rilo kiley//we were promised jetpacks//why? weezer//DFA1979//bloc party//metric//joy division//rival schools//architecture in helsinki//yeah yeah yeahs//animal collective//flipper//the hives//93 million miles//radiohead//health//led zeppelin//at the drive in//blur//the smiths//kings of leon//biffy clyro//tv on the radio//test icicles//the octopus project//chrome hoof//the clash//the feelies//pulp//three trapped tigers//arcade fire//liquid liquid//head automatic//eels//rolo tomassi//r.e.m//the mai shi//no age// wavves//devo//violent femmes//we are scientists//the blood brothers//battles//foo fighters//eat skull//women//liars//broken social scene//frightened rabbit//edan//dogs//white demin//abe vigoda//aids wolf//vampire weekend//these arms are snakes//rolo tomassi//lovvers//japanther//holy fuck etc etc etc etc etc etc

Crossbones 'Poda! Step! Minimix'

Crossbones 'Poda! Step! Minimix' (click here to download)

Tracklisting

The Beach Boys - Wipeout

Major Lazer - Hold The Line (Crossbones Hold The 5-0 Edit)

Joy Division - Isolation (Crossbones Breaks Edit)

The Clash - Magnificant Dance

Crossbones - Jimmy Mack

Crossbones - Makemba

Esser - Headlock

Burial - Raver (Crossbones Edit)

The Very Best - Cape Cod (Crossbones Edit)

Hailing from the depths of commuter wasteland in central Essex and breaking out of the wave that kick-started the Chelmsford underground club scene late 2007, Crossbones made his name co-running the county town’s first ever underground electro/bass club, This.Is.Sick.

Following the success of this, sets with Drums of Death, Niyi, Foamo, Tomb Crew, L-VIS 1990 and many others have seen his skills as a DJ go from strength to strength.

A life-long fascination with dance music of all kinds combined with a fiendish dedication to laptop production, undoubtedly make Crossbones one to watch in 2010.

Stapleford '100% Vinyl Cooked in Cubase Dubstep Megamix'

Taken from the highly exclusive Strong Look x Poda Poda 'Poda! Step!' CD

The first mix up is from Stapleford (aka Quailman)

'100% Vinyl Cooked in Cubase Dubstep Megamix' (click to listen)

Featuring a selection of heavy current dubstep Stapleford also gets wild on the outro showcasing his long held turntable abilities.

His past activity has included the UK results party 09 at Fabric, London with Rusko and Benga, Toys ‘R’ Us at the Fridge in Brixton with the Mystery Jets and Niyi, Square Roots at Audio in Brighton with The Bug and Flow Dan, Reverb at the UEA in Norwich with DJ Food as well as many local nights in Essex with artists including Rusko, Drop the Lime, King Cannibal and Shir Khan!

A recent successful debut guest slot on “Rough Tempo” radio has secured him his own weekly slot on the station allowing his music to reach even further afield.

Expect one of the heaviest Dubstep sets you will have ever heard with double drops, turntablism and hints of other genres blended in.

Stapleford plays Barhouse, Chelmsford this Saturday October 24th alongside Commix (Metalheadz/Hospital) and will also on Saturday November 7th be on the wheels of steel with Strong Look and Crossbones at New Hero Brighton's incredible It Is Still.... 1985 playing a vintage selection of 80s Hip-Hop and Electro Vinyl.

This trio of girls (two sisters and a friend!) are currently working on a new album with Berlin production house New Judas (who were responsible for Annie’s last album) + M.I.A. & Major Lazer maestros DIPLO & SWITCH!

The Guardian labelled their first single back in February - “like a Hanna Barbera cartoon of MIA and Yo! Majesty mud-wrestling” and named their other work as having “all the mischievous exuberance missing from that last CSS album”. As if that wasn’t praise enough The Guardian has compared them to New Young Pony Club, Peaches, & Fan Death before noting that LCMDF “could be the one – the first – hipster electro-girl-group to break through“. With killer reviews also featured in/on NME, Dazed & Confused, Artrocker, Big Stereo & more. Don’t miss this exclusive Brighton show ahead of the new release through KITSUNE ‘Something Golden’, which you can hear (along with other tracks & videos on their Myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/lecorpsmincedefrancoise

SHAMELESS

Strong Look's own Graeme Peacock here on the new flyer for Audio's awfully amazing SHAMELESS, where you can win up to £500 every week!! Throughout October and November I'll be their special guest dj in the bar playing anything, really I mean it anything. Last time I played both the theme to Ulysses 31 and M-Beat's 'Incredible' amongst a whole bunch of other stuff. It's pretty broad and simply sheer-fun.

East Coast FMX

Today I went to see a demo from East Coast FMX, I know nothing about Freestyle Motorcross but it was really fun to take some pictures. For more info see www.ecfmx.co.uk

Shockwaves Head to Head Challenge 1987

In 1987 Shockwaves from Wella released this stunningly designed cassette as part of a competition to find 'the most exciting and innovative music acts in the UK, plus the most outrageous and eye catching hairstyle.' I discovered this cassette in a charity shop circa 2005 and have been intrigued by it since, who won a guarenteed record release with Red Bus Records and got the chance to play live at the Hippodrome? And more importantly.... exactly how outrageous were the hairstyle entries? This is 1987 and this is a hair-gel promotion so surely they were pretty special, unfortunatly I can't find anything about this competition... I've contacted Shockwaves and Red Bus Records, there will be follow-up if I get a reply.
