New BOYF_ acid house edit with a splash of hip house that gives the game away
As usual, basic editing software applied (Audacity) and no soundcloud bombing for dj gigs associated with this share as we're going purely through the blog
Its a bit ruff, a bit ready but it gets straight to the point even though it took about 3 hours of cutting and pasting to figure out what worked best from the original source material
May have a further play around to see what else can be achieved at a later stage

OK, we're nearly there now as we approach our gathering in Brighton this month. Having ditched the general approach to commonly informing on Twitter and Facebook we now rely mostly on the mailing list to make you all aware of what's happening at street level in our city by the sea
A few tracks that have come to light in the recent months that we've lined up for a polite street level spanking this coming June at various outings in Brighton
A few images taken from March this year featuring some friends and dancing associates from Brighton's street level dance music community out on late night maneuvers on what was a very cold night indeed
Thanks to Rob and Jeff from Principal Records for teeing up the session and to everyone that kept the floor vibing right up untill lights on
At last we've managed to set things up with this fine fellow for a session in the warehouse coming up in a couple of months
A vinyl institution of epic proportions and purveyor of all good things musical, we expect the full ticket and a great time on the floor under Brighton Railway Station this summer
Full House Of Go Bang visual and audio crew on support for the evening taking the night to closing time with a big smile and sore feet
We've got a street level shindig lined up next weekend (Saturday to be precise) in Be Right On By The Sea
Give us a shout through the email address and we'll hook you up with all the details that you need to locate the shenanigans
Please state "party details" in the title

We're also out and about on Friday at the old Jazz Place on Ship Street (now called 10 Below) with our friends from On The Beach. It's a proper locals night so it's a street level vibe down in the basement from the off. We'll be joining Darren Murphy and Sam Moffett for the evening's festivities from 11pm - door tax likely
A regularly played track from the Brighton groove based scene a few years back when exploring the possibilities of mixing up classic disco, edits and new house music was off the majority of people's radars at that time
It's the rolling bassline that really cements Jacques Lu Cont's remix of "Pin" as probably one of the strongest examples of the kind of down-low rolling house tracks of that era that helped capture the imagination whilst propelling the scene forward with an open-minded yet quality focused approach to playing music outside of the clubs at the time
So pleased this was on Youtube and it's available for sharing with everyone once again as a little slice of audio memorabilia that served our city well
Sound system nu disco / deep house or whatever you want to call it ..... this badboy rolls deep
A pleasure to report back on the amazing (always use this
word sparingly) response in Brighton to the 3rd release on Green
Grass Recordings from our friendsacross
the planetin New Zealand
We've been dropping this for a couple of weeks on pre-release all over town and can safely say that this track is definitely going to hang around for a good while
Having been sent “Mark My Words” in early March our anticipation levels surrounding this tracks ability to make its presence
felt were extremely high
Rarely do we get sent promo’s as we operate within slightly
more offradar communities however when
we do actually play the one’s we are sent we tend to make sure we provide some
actual “dance floor reaction” feedback based on what we see from mission control
All good things to say about “Mark My Words” with the “Disco
Edit” being the slice of audio we decided to road test for a few weeks now in front of some very pleased dance floors across the city
Definitely feeling this new release that is going to feature highly over the forthcoming months. Love the low slung groove approach and percussive touches that come through later on and of course as with most things that get the thumbs up, there's a strong overall funk feel associated with this one
Happy dancing people should be the end result once again judging by the early road testing results which are all positive
Local Talk is proud to present their third installment, produced in
Stockholm, Sweden, hometown of Local Talk Records. Actual Proof is the
new four-four alter ego of Opolopo, a name you might have come across
thru his releases on Tokyo Dawn Records, Swedish Brandy or Especial. On
this 12” he takes on himself another musical journey and explores house
music, both the dirty and Detroit influenced sound, as well as the more
electronic and techy inspired. This releases kicks things off with The
Grit, a tasteful mixture of moody disco vibes and gritty house ,it could
easily be labelled as an homage to the big D. On the flip, Huff &
Puff , shows how this producer can handle almost any style of music and
still keep the funk and raw edge to it. A Solid house track with an
interesting twist and sound palette filled with boogie and old-school
programming. It’s raw & straight to the point - and that’s the way
we like it
Many thanks to Mark Limb (The Electric Disco) who hooked this footage of Tonka up on Twitter recently that shows the legendary sound system crew out on Monday maneuvers at Brighton's Zap Club (now Digital)
I think this is a new bit of footage although I'm not entirely sure so excuse the post title if this is wrong
Unlike many video's that capture the era through primarily focusing on the dance floor action as the main source, this particular piece of documentation goes a little further by including soundbites from the people involved and the assembled party faithful leading up to, during and after the session
There's also a strong theme running through the 30 minutes of footage that really captures the experience of putting on a party from the sound system being packed up right up to the end of night conversations with all the dancers as proceedings lead towards the after party somewhere on Brighton Beach
The legacy of the "party crew" still runs strong in Brighton with plenty of outfits still supporting the DIY ethics that have been so much part of our nations party scene for many many years pre and post Tonka and friends
A point of note is that Tonka put their djs right in the middle of the dance floor which was a lovely touch that somewhere along the long road to where we are now is sadly no longer adopted in the majority of cases
Lets hope some forward thinking venues take a look at their set ups and make a few adjustments perhaps
I'll leave you with a short list of other Brighton based parties still doing the DIY thing that are worth checking out that include the following (apologies to anyone omitted)
Deep Systems - Deep House
On The Beach - House, Disco and Techno
Disco Deviant - House and Disco
Kinfolk - Disco, House, Techno and Leftfield
Happy hunting and as always "Keep The Faith" ..... THE STORY CONTINUES \o/
