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.
