Attention all those in London this weekend.... I wanted to make some noise about a new monthly night starting up this Saturday at The Horatia on Holloway Road. It's called Bad Dimension, and promises to be a full on cosmic psyche-out with live performances from bands as well as DJs delivering a heady blend of dubbed-out disco, 60s psychedelia and plenty more. For the opening night guests The Oscillation take to the stage, backed up by a fantastic kaleidoscopic light show by photographic artist Julian Hand. The night goes on until 2am and entry is free!
For a taste of whats in store check out some of the selections on their blog.

Last minute bit of promo for my set at Orlando Boom this Saturday at The Queen of Hoxton. They've managed to bag Riton for the headline slot, along with a whole host of other guests - it's gonna be a big one!
On a separate note, my remix of Sheharzad's 'Yalla Yalla' was dropped earlier this week on none other than Aeroplane's latest monthly chart mix! Check it out here!
Cosmic Disco kindly posted a mix I made for them last week in conjunction with the release of the
Sheharzad remix. Check it out here!
Jens Loden's 'Worx' artist compilation comes out this coming Monday on Fine Art, including original tracks from Jens both under his own name and his Sheharzad project, plus remixes from the likes of Orlando Voorn and Henrik Schwarz. Also included is my remix of Sheharzad's 'Yalla Yalla'. I had the good fortune of winning a remix competition for the track run by Fine Art Recordings / Save Vinyl's Nitzan Hermon last summer, and I'm really pleased to finally be able to announce its release. After hearing the beautifully crafted stems I couldn't resist having a shot! A big thanks to Jens Loden and of course to Fine Art for their support!
The remix will also be released as a digital single alongside the compilation on Monday. Check it out!

A real gem from British rock drummer Cozy Powell, famous for his contribution on recordings for a wide variety of noteworthy British artists, including Black Sabbath and Peter Green. Killer drum breaks and fantastic instrumentation and vocals, you can't go wrong. Released in 1973 on Rak.

Parisian production duo Distant Planet kindly passed over a copy of their latest EP 'Mille Morceaux' the other day. They couple their own synth sounds with dusty funk breaks and obscure disco, electro and boogie-funk samples to create a refreshing take on the instrumental hip-hop / beats sound. They've allowed me to choose a track off the EP to post at 192kbps, and here it is, 'Encore toi'. Whilst it's one of the shorter of the bunch at only two minutes long, the pastiche of dusty vocals and swirling synths made it a winner for me; satisfyingly nostalgic but still sounding fresh!
Grab the EP here.
