Non Stop Partying November & Dec...


What can be said about last month hey? Some quality events played at, finishing last Friday night on ‘home turf ‘and the final Privé of 2012 alongside ‘No Artificial Colours’ where this Leamington Spa night (which we hold dear to our hearts) continues to go from strength to strength and we cannot wait to see what Taylor, Ashworth & Mackey have in store for 2013, keep up the good work guys!



**********


November also saw us playing twice for our good Pals over @ 02:31 first up being the 1st Birthday Party which was MASSIVE (surely establishing itself as the only after party event in Birmingham) if that wasn’t enough we then got to play again @ last week’s event where they had another badboy booking in the form of Justin Martin and which again, went off proper!  




**********


Well, Winter & December are showing no signs of letting up with us playing a brand new night in Birmingham called Friction @ Sound Control on the Friday 14th so why not get down and show your support on two fronts...

Prior to the above, 8th December sees another return to 02:31 where ‘Bridge The Gap Records’ are hosting Room 2 with us playing alongside the one and only ‘SmakPony’ and as ever when we play with these guys it’s always a spectacle to behold as Snowbombing 2012 can vouch...




On the Snowbombing front (and as mentioned in last month’s blog) we have been confirmed to play FACE's 2nd year out-there and with the line-up this time around its surely gonna be an even more epic event! 


Like we did for this years trip, we are going over again in a big group and are currently taking bookings, all info here:

Finally, and more HUGE NEWS for us, again with FACE and what is sure to put a cap on another quality year is the RAINBOW NYE SHOWCASE where we have been asked to play the 'COURTYARD & STREET MARQUEE PARTY' and are well looking forward to all you lot bringing in 2013 the only way we know how....



See you at everyone of 'em guys :-)

THE MIGHTY DUTCH OF ANALHEIM

Right then peoples!..... First of all we want to wish you all a very happy new year! its been a little while since we did our last comprehensive Blog, our Xmas schedule was extremely busy with gigs coming out of every orifice and more party's than you could shake a shitty stick at :-) so we apologise for the absence.

 After an amazing 2011 where we went from strength to strength played some amazing party's and met some amazing people  ( you know who you are), I just want to tell you all a little bit about our plans for the first quarter of this year.




This Saturday 7/1/2012 takes us to the spiritual home of deep/tech in Birmingham  FACE @ the Rainbow complex where there is a room swap going on and its our first appearance in the cellar, now for those of you that are not familiar with the venue the cellar is underneath the rainbow equipped with a booming Funktion 1 sound system and has an air of berlin about it! man this place is one of the citys hidden gems!... we know that its the week after NYE but its one of the best times to party and see who can really man up and whos got the minerals.

 

This event will feature TRUESELF from ATJAZZ records alongside ourselves and FACE residents BUNNY, SCOTT BLEEPZ and ELLIOT CROFT. now here is the good bit ... the kind powers that be at FACE have made this a half price entry being just £5 all night so really there can be no excuses! what better way than to beat the january blues other than to party right through it?.................................... SEE YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR!

Ok so the following week sat 14.1.2012 we are heading back to Careys in Coventry playing for BISCUIT DISCO alongside LEE BRINX from lower east records London and DUTCH SETTLERS long time ally and friend DAVE THATCHER.


Also featuring on this night is resident JAMES WHEELER who smashes it every time so all in all a pretty sick line-up!

* THIS PARTY IS FREE ENTRY AND ITS MY (ADAM WILSON'S) BIRTHDAY AND  I AM CELEBRATING IT HERE! THE CLUB ARE SUPPLYING A FREE MINI BUS FROM LEAMINGTON SO ALL THAT WANT TO COME GET IN TOUCH 07863129163!

P.S did i forget to mention that the sound system ( the whole set up in fact ) is world class and we will be playing a special birthday set so be there or be square!


CHECK OUT THE VID BELOW TO SEE WHAT TO EXPECT!




LE PISCINE WITH SPECIAL GUEST JORDAN PEAK!

This is a very special gig for us :-)  we have seen our London based compatriots and promoters of LE PISCINE  (JONNAY & BRADLIANO) go from strength to strength and this night goes to  prove that their hard work is paying off and that they are rapidly becoming one of the main players on the underground scene in London. We love their sound and love working with these guys, look out for them in the future as im sure they will be gracing the decks in the midlands very soon! 


Being held at Plan B's basement in Brixton this intimate  party is going to boast a huge Funktion 1 soundsystem and up for it clued up crowd. Also DJ'ING  Alongside the hugely successful JORDAN PEAK on this night is another friend of ours KEIRAN JAMES from ESOTERIC and MARSHAM from SPANGLAND thsese guys also know how to work the dancefloor so your in for a real treat folks! and then of course the fantastic JONNAY & BRADLIANO and ourselves!    the event is on  resident advisor and part of air London get your tickets from this link
http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?325128* early birds are on sale now for £5.00* be sure to book as we have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a sell out event.  


Finally if you haven't heard we will be playing SNOWBOMBING festival this year for FACE in Austria the line-up is ridiculous and features headliner SNOOP DOG amongst others! we will do a blog specifically on this soon with a much more detailed account of what's in store but if you like snowboarding, skiing or falling on your ass and listening to decent tunes then this is for you! If you want to book through us then this is the link https://www.facebook.com/events/301156036570328/ we have a huge crew going and is going to  be a memorable experience for all that attends! see you on the slopes!


We wish you all a very prosperous 2012 and make sure you keep checking the Blog with what we are up to!  Take this advice..... love like you have never been hurt, live like you will never die dance like no one is watching and remember  a weekend wasted isn't a wasted weekend!


LOVE + LIGHT .... DUTCH SETTLERS*
