GRUFF RHYS (SUPER FURRY ANIMALS / NEON NEON) - DJ SET
Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon front man Gruff Rhys bestows upon The End a set of upbeat psych.
ERRORS (LIVE)
Early releases exemplified elements of new-wave and acid-house, with ERRORS progressing to a sound that so far has caused the band to be touted as natural successors to the mantle currently held by the likes of Battles, Hot Chip and LCD
Soundsystem.

MOGWAI DJS
Progenitors of fulsome guitars and pummeling drumbeats, veering from psych-rock to shoegaze, legends MOGWAI will select records that reflect the dense sonics of their career.

DJ SKURGE (UR)
Hotly tipped Detroit bombast SKURGE comes fresh from the Model 500 project with Juan Atkins to bring us his ferocious beats, which find their home on his hometown’s Underground Resistance label.

TIM EXILE (LIVE)
DJ, maker of hype drum and bass, tweaked-out music (2006’s Gabbaret Lounge) and machines for improvising tweaked-out music, Tim Exile could turn his hand to any electronic genre, and will surely bring unrivaled expertise to his live set tonight.

“Bleep Loves… Labels” Launch Party @ AKA
Line Up: Hudson Mohawke / Marc Mac from 4 Hero / DJ 2 Tall / Lone / Kelpe / Paul White vs Bullion / Alex Chase / Bleep DJ Soundsystem
Award winning music download store Bleep.com has put together a free compilation to download on their site. The compilation is a collection of tracks from some of the most under-rated labels currently putting out some of the most forward-thinking music at the moment. To launch the compilation, they have put together a line-up with some of the artists that have contributed tracks to the release.
Headlining the night will be new Warp signing, Hudson Mohawke. This young former Scottish ITF DJ Champion and the youngest ever Technics UK DMC Finalist, has obviously proved that he is quite able on the 1’s and 2’s already. However, what is most exciting is what strange noises and bleeps are coming out of his bedroom to a speaker near you very soon. 8-bit sounds, sub-heavy basslines and crunching drums makes this guy one of the most exciting producers in the UK, if not the world at the moment.
Not just a representation of new blood, Bleep pays homage to the legendary producers in the shape of Marc Mac from 4 Hero. His DJ set will be joining the dots from vintage soul to broken beat and jungle beats. This guy has been killing dancefloors for over a decade and tonight will definitely not be an exception to that rule.
Also being showcased on the night is some of the cream of UK-based beat makers in the shape of DJ 2Tall, former UK DMC DJ Champion (so you know there is going to be no shortage of quality and skill on the turntables this night). With electronic tinged orchestration, DJ 2 Tall has forthcoming material on the Terrorhytmn label (the brainchild of dubstep kingpin – Plastician).
Also on the night will be Nottingham based producer, Lone. One half of the outfit - Kids in Tracksuits, Lone will be punching pads and twiddling knobs to showcase his sun-tinged synths and marked-up for the dancefloor. Also working wonders on the laptop will be the electronic wonder-kid from DC Recordings – Kelpe. Combine this with a showcase of One Handed Music (the label run by Stones Throw’s European Label manager) in the form of Paul White vs. Bullion, and the label boss himself – Alex Chase.
Soundtracking through the night will actually be the Bleep DJ Soundsystem outfit consisting of the staff members and a history of murdering turntables in various former guises and monikers over the years.
