Warehouse Project are at it again...

WHP has unleashed its array of fierce line ups for the upcoming 12 week season commencing in September! As always WHP has spoiled its never ending list of clubbers with the worlds most exciting acts around and the best batch of events you could wish for. 'Dusky presents...The Next Step', Richie Hawtin's 'Enter Experience', 'Maya Jane Coles Presents', Jamie Jones' 'Paradise', 'Bugged Out's' 20th Year; the list is endless and the artists featuring in each event are equally as impressive.

With the WHP project returning to its 'spiritual home', Store Street, tickets will therefore be very limited, in fact less than half the amount will be available compared to the last couple of years. We strongly suggest you do everything in your power to get your mits on one of these 'golden tickets'! - Good luck....

Skream - Come With Me

More on Skream but for good reason. Fascinating video here discussing matters we touched on in our live recorded interview with him back in March. Here Skream takes you through his journey on why he shifted from playing and producing a genre he pioneers, he talks about what Dubstep has become and what it originally was meant to be... take not Skrillex

Plastikman

Richie Hawtin is one of the biggest names in the game and is hailed as a true icon of electronic production by the masses. He is currently one of the most prolific acts headlining shows left right and centre; he holds a residency at the legendary Space in Ibiza and also is running his label ‘M_Nus’. With over 20 years under his belt he has now officially brought back his alter-ego, Plastikman. This is very exciting news for fans and others all around intrigued to see what he’s got in store for the world this time round. Last year saw the release of his first Plastikman works for 10 years in an album entitled ‘Ex’. He recently played the first live performance under the alias at Sonar last week and it looked pretty incredible from pictures coming out.

Here’s a nice passage from one on-looker: “Coinciding with the setting of the sun, Richie Hawtin materialized within the crowd atop a raised table, not twenty feet away from the giant structure. Moments later, the curious emanations of Ex poured forth as the obelisk was illuminated with ethereal green tendrils. The audience stood captivated by the sight, not sure whether to watch Hawtin or the towering visual structure. As I took in the spectacle before me, it felt as though Plastikman had created a mythology.”

“This is really a visual representation of my struggle for the last 25 years. It’s man versus machine; it’s David and Goliath; it’s how far technology can take us as human beings, how it helps and expands us, how it can also hinder us.” – Richie Hawtin

Skream: 'Of Unsound Mind'

So Skream has a label! 'Of Unsound Mind' is its name and the first release is by an up and comer called Motions who has been featuring in 'Skreamizm' events of late. Our pick from the EP is the first track on the B-side entitled 'Fielded' which cries out memories of Skream's own track, 'Dutch Flowerz' with that eerie, melodic, high pitched synth.

With the closure of Skream's previous label 'Disfigured Dubz' back in November, now he can focus on a label leaning more towards the sounds that he is creating and also be inspired by.

"There isn’t a particular guideline as of yet, just stuff I’m really feeling and artists I feel people need to know about. For example I’m gonna be releasing tracks by a girl from Mumbai called Sandunes who I met at a show whilst I was out there. She’s great, her music is kind of ultra melodic UKG, she’s also someone I’m very very excited about!" - Skream

Of Unsound Mind 001 is out on wax and digitally on June 23rd

XOYO Residency number 3

XOYO has announced that the mighty Jackmaster will be the ruling the stage over the next 13 weeks. The Scotsman is a DJ only which we are seeing less and less nowadays with producing becoming more accessible to the masses. Following up from the two previous residents, The 2 Bears and Eats Everything expect Jackmaster to continue to send revelers away wanting more and keeping the bar high.

The 3rd chapter of residents at XOYO begins on July 14th and runs until September 27th. Some huge acts are among the artists on show including Loefah, Joy Orbison, Will Saul just to name a few and as always the resident will play all night long on the first and last Saturdays
