ARP 101 LIVE @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB - FRIDAY 15TH FEBRUARY

https://www.facebook.com/events/118224055020934/

This month we’re excited to announce someone we’ve been looking to book since we kicked off back in August 2012 & thanks to DC we're ON!… ARP 101 (Eglo Records)

ARP 101 is the astro-funk alias of Alix Depauw, otherwise known as London-based D&B producer Alix Perez. As with many producers, Alix splits different sides of his sound over two monikers, with ARP 101 being ‘an alias for freedom’ for the innovative beat maker – ‘it’s where I can experiment and produce anything I feel, and it’s the same with the performance side of things when I’m DJing and playing live.’

Since releasing his critically-acclaimed debut on Alex Nut and Floating Point’s Eglo imprint, ARP 101 has had a string of releases and remixes which have come out on Bonobo, Ninja Tune, Starkey, Civil Music, Slugabed and others. Forthcoming EPs will be released on Eglo Records, Om Unit’s Cosmic Bridge Records and Donky Pitch. Props have come across the board from Dam Funk, Benji B, Mary Anne Hobbs, One Man and many more.

We continue with our exclusive B-Side flexi disk is in the form of Arp 101's, quite frankly huge, Mystery Man. Only available at B-Side

B-SIDE : KIDKANEVIL LIVE @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB FRI 18TH JANUARY

https://www.facebook.com/events/411855388893682/

We're excited about our first session of 2013 back in West London's loudest basement, with KidKanevil playing one of his genre defying live sets. DJ/Producer Kidkanevil first came to prominence with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Problems & Solutions’ back in 2007, and has since gone from strength to strength. Described by Bonobo as “like the best moments of RJD2 and Timbaland combined…incredible!” and “a sonic visionary” by iDJ, the kid has earnt the praise and respect of numerous peers and journalists, counting the likes of DJ Shadow and Wire Magazine amongst his fans, and progressives Tokimonsta, Blue Daisy and Illum Sphere amongst his contemporaries. Having 3 solo albums under his belt the Kid's latest offering see's him team up with Japan's Daisuke Tanabe to release 'Kidsuke'. Both a headphone experience and dance floor dynamite, it’s an intelligent journey into the creative mind of a truly innovative and experimental producer. Fresh off 2012's Red Bull Music Academy and ready to unleash a barrage of new music and collaborations on the world, this is just the beginning. Blurring the lines between hip-hop, future beats, jazz, jungle, dubstep and worldwide sounds, Kid Kanevils DJ/Live sets are a force to be reckoned with. This month also see's the return of our free flexi disk. Kid Kanevil has blessed B-Side with the unreleased extended DJ edit of his '10 second' reflip from the 'freebeatsnbleeps' beat tape. Check out the short version here:- http://kidkanevil.bandcamp.com/track/10-seconds-kidkanevil-reflip ) and see you on the 18th if you want the 4 minute version on exclusive flexi disk.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16th @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB - SCRATCH PRESENTS: B-SIDE ft JEHST FULL LIVE BAND + FREE FLEXI DISKS !!

B-SIDE has been jam packed with opened minded up for it party people for the last 3 months and our next live session is set to not disappoint.

An iconic name synonomous with multi-layered lyricism, liquid flows and blunted beats, Jehst is one of the few seminal figures credited with spearheading a movement of artists who would kick open the doors for homegrown Hip Hop to become as vibrant & healthy as it is today

Far from just a local hero, Jehst is a name known globally with an influence reaching far an

d wide from America's underground to Australia and back again. NME have named him a "cult hero", Mike Skinner (The Streets) described him as "fantastic" in his recent autobiography and even 'rapper's rapper' Pharoahe Monch has praised Jehst's abilities, telling The Cut "Dope, dope. I like his pocket... where his rhymes fall at."

With a captivating stage presence to match his studio persona, Jehst 's reputation on the live circuit has seen him billed alongside some truly iconic artists. This Autumn alone sees him sharing stages with DOOM, Public Enemy and Lord Finesse! So it's safe to say that the B-Side audience are in for a treat when he hits the stage with his live band to showcase new material as well bringing a live twist to some of his well known underground classics.

With Micall Parknsun (YNR) on the mic and the MPC, Jazz T (Boot Records / ITF champ) on turntables, Louis Slipperz (Task Force / Owiny Segoma Band) on bass, the sultry Fae Simon on backing vocals & time-changing magician Kwake (Speakers Corner Quartet) on drums, Jehst's live band are a force to be reckoned with.

His live mash up DJ approach creates crowd rocking routines with some of the most memorable music videos, movie scenes and just about everything in between.

Not just one of the worlds best AV DJ’s, the past few years have seen Bobby busier than ever on the production front with remixes and releases on 11 different labels worldwide and jumping on multiple top 10 lists for Juno Download and Beatport.

United DJ's from Scratch & Funk Royale: Richy Pitch (Gorillaz Sound System), Matt Smooth and Mr Chex (Funk Royale) and host MC Tukka


What a wicked start we had last month, with Mo Kolours playing a deep set on stage.

This month we have the seriously talented (and underrated) Royalty, aka east London duo Chesca and Elliott Yorke whose music is released by the badda than bad Five Easy Pieces.

Their latest EP, 'Purple Nights', demonstrates the rapid maturity of their suave, electrofunky digital boogie. XLR8R described them very well:
'Somewhere in between Daft Punk's robotic revelry, Kraftwerk's chilly minimalism, and Jimmy Edgar's austere sex appeal, you'll find Royalty's Chesca and Elliot Yorke working out deep low-end melodies, incessant dance rhythms, alien vocoder sounds, and icy synthlines - all of which perfectly create the duo's retro-futuristic motif.'

And don't forget the Royalty flexi-disc which B-Side are giving away to the first 100 people through the door. Get down early to pick up September's exclusive edition'.

DJ Woody reworks the classics with his unique blend of custom graphics, video sound bites and renowned turntable technique to rock the 'slamminest' 90's house party since Kid n Play raised the roof.
