Saturday 25th September - Wet Play @ the Crown

ALL NITE DISCO - FULL BAR!

'By Popular Demand...'

>BEGIN

Charismatic Yorkshire-man, resident of the longest weekly UK clubnight, Back2Basics; Chemical Brother's tour DJ for over ten years. James Holroyd has more quality references than a Roget's thesaurus. At the start of this year, we were treated to a new angle as James released the future-classic (and sure to be highly sought after) Begin 01. With a strong muscianship throughout and with a definite 'coastal' slant, the restrained tempo was a surprise to those following his uptempo 'bogg-beat' style; a surprise we were extremely happy with nonetheless! With a LOT more top music ready in the pipeline, and a DJ schedule that still makes most of us weep, there is simply no let up to this man's prowess. And so who better with to kick off our monthly social than the master of future eclecticism, who's record choices always intrigue yet never fail to move the dancefloor and a DJ who, after years of absorbing influences from all corners of the dance music spectrum, turns his hand to making music and becomes and all-star producer in the process! We welcome, James Holyord aka Boggy aka Begin! Blast off!

>RUF DUG

Rufdug is well seasoned in the party business.Originally cutting his teeth on the Sydney party scene, Ruffy ran a series of very underground, mushroom-fueled psychedelic disco parties. Alongside this he released a number of records under a variety of guises AND held down some prestigious resedencies in the city. Then, luckily for us here in Manchester, a Visa issue meant he had to leave Australia and return to his home here. Thank God! After blowing us away after just a few appearences (see: Detroit Public Radio, Ordererly Wayward & Electric Elephant) we were again treated to the rare surprise of having a pro DJ who was also a fledging record produer! Rufdug's "Dirty", released on Popular People's Front in 2009 became a massive clubland smash, and was featured in the top 'end of year lists' by many a respected DJ. Ruf Kutz#1 followed as a self-released, limited twelve inch and sold out very quickly (now fetching big cash) and as you read this Ruf Kutz #2 - The Sydney Disco Mafia EP has dropped and is causing massive disco destruction! Again, a natural selection for our first party - expect a sun-blushed selection of psychedelic disco, peakin' vibrations and underground bombs!

Blogspot blastoff

Alright fellow Martians, welcome to the new X43 blog. From now on we'll be posting stuff up here to keep you all informed with the goings on of X43 Recordings and our sister associations - Chumpmag and Detroit Public Radio.

As you may know we started X43 in 2009 as a label to put out our own tracks and mixes. Now in 2010 we are beefing our output starting with a series of four DJ mixes from our own Ste Spandex, Alvin T. Thwomp plus two very special guests. These will come in the form of a limited edition CD and will be available from us directly, from Piccadilly Records and other stockists to be announced.
We're also gonna be updating this site regularly with tracks, mixes and podcasts so subscribe and tell your mates for a fat buzz.

Lots of Detroit Public Radio gigs in the pipeline too, including the springtime cheeseburger picnic and another forray into El Diablos Social Club - so watch this space!

We've enslaved the maggots down at Chumpmag HQ (the Gravy pit) and are forcing them to go digital and upload their fanzines onto this very blog in an attempt to spread even more love. - gotta move with the times dickheads! -- the latest 2 issues (9&8) are up for your perusal if you didnt get your hands on a hard copy when it came out. Its also rumoured that Chumpmag's own Captain B'kirk has intercepted a secret deep space transmission which included the password for this page and may be planning on posting his jazzy tales up!

------------------

So, spread the word chumps and remember to click the Chump head on this page for a jazzy treat! Also as a special bonus buzz we've planted Alvin T. Thwomp's classic mixtape-'13 Gravy Pit Hits!' up as a free download so get it swiped!
