Hi there xltronic board. I don't know if any of you went to / remember our tube station parties. From 2001-2004 we were lucky enough to play host to all the Skam crew (several times!), Richard D James, Luke Vibert, Plaid, Mira Calix, T. Raumshmiere, Mark Moore, Tim Wright, Goldfrapp, Richard X, Ceephax, the Rephlex Records crew, and many more. Well, after the last one was cancelled at the last minute, we lost so much money that the label pretty much went under, and we havent done anything since. Until now. We have found a new venue. It's in London, there are several rooms. And a cinema. It's absolutely gorgeous. And we're going to have a party there on Friday March 31st. Berlin's latest prodigies Modeselektor are to be joined by techno/electro legends B12 and Neil Landstrumm, with support from Ardisson, Snapmouth, and MoQ from the Seed Records camp. Bleep.com are hosting the second room with their new 'Automaton Disco' system, allowing clubbers to choose from the entire bleep.com catalogue what the robot dj's play next, plus cut-up genius crew The Media Lounge (who hosted the in-house TV station at Dedbeat festiva)l take care of the all-seater cinema room. Doors are 10pm-6am, entry is by advance ticket only tickets are just £10 each (+ booking fee) and available now from Poke Records in Soho, Smallfish in Shoreditch, and online at to find out where the venue is, check the on March 31st, or send an email to sovietlondon@googlemail.com with the subject 'add' (we wont spam you - just one email with the location) |

I can tell you this about the venue: Its 100% legal. no chance of being shut down. It's not one of the 'same-old fuckin venues'...ie its NOT 333, Jacks, Elektrowerkz, Rhythm Factory, Corsica Studios, Telegraph, or any of the other venues that has a party every other week. Its massive, over 3 levels, several rooms, and a full-seater cinema balcony, which will be showing some awesome films, cut-ups, comedy, and general wierdness. It is no more than 2 minutes walk from a Zone 1 tube station, nightbuses, and cash machines, plus cafes for grabbing a coffee & a bacon butty in the morning before grabbing the first train home...no trundling through countless unknown suburbs in the middle of nowhere looking for a garage to buy a soggy sandwich and a bottle of lucozade... the beers will be reasonable priced. ie not £3 a bottle of carlsberg, like some other venues. The venues staff are also fans of electronic music. you'll be in good hands. If you ever went to one of our tube station parties, you'll know the vibe we go for :-) |

poor dan_belch. another B12 gig he'll miss |

|
|
on another note: if you see any B12 'represses' about - please be aware these are illegal bootlegs made without B12's premission - the tracks are ripped from CD/vinyl not masters. please do not buy them B12 will be making their back catalog available *legally* very soon. |

just a wee bump. if youre thiking of coming, grab your tickets earlier rather than later, they have already begun to sell, and as theres a limited number and there will NOT be any available on the door, ...i know it sounds arsey, but: buy early to avoid disappointment. at one of the tube station parties, when the security didnt turn up on time, myself and a friend worked the door in their place. we had black suits on, both of us quite tall, so no-one knew we were actually the promoters and performers. it was funny to be a fly on the wall, listening to people talking about us, and some outrageous guestlist claims....but it wasnt fun to have to turn people away once we reached capacity, some folks we're obviously really excited about coming but hadnt bought their tickets in advance. |

bleep.com 'Automaton Disco' system - robot djs wtf? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
bleep.com are running the second room, as well as the bleep.com dj's & guests, they will be running a jukebox that plays only tracks from the bleep.com catalogue. last i heard, the idea was people would be able to select the upcoming tracks (not sure how though, possibly have a screen projected with tracks that can be activated by text message) |

TICKETS UPDATE there are still plenty of tickets left, but going by the current sales - i wouldnt be suprised if they sell out within the next 10 days. we have dropped a booklet of 50 tickets for sale in phonica, as so many people were asking us if they had them for sale there. we will *try* and have someone at the venue with a small book of tickets for sale AT FACE VALUE early on the night itself (before doors open) for those that have been completely unable to get any in advance, so they dont get ripped off by touts. |

I can now confirm we will be annoucing the venue publicly in the week leading up to the event. We did our final site check, the visuals guys sorted their setups in the projection room, and we sorted our stages & specs...all looking very good, getting quite excited now....! |
