Al Wootton joins us tonight and he takes us on a two hour journey with a special mix of techno and percussive tunes.

Al Wootton - March 2022

1-800 Girls invited Alexis along for this months show as they run through two hours of club-ready breaks, techno, and UKG.

1-800 Girls w/ Alexis - April 2022

For 10 years, south west label Livity Sound has been at the forefront of a wave of sound that’s been dubbed as anything from “distinct”, to “Bristol techno”, “dubby and innovative” to “broken techno”, even “Bristol bass-techno”. Whatever you want to call it, Livity has been busy capturing a fragmented energy of bassy and hybrid UK club sounds for the last decade.

Ahead of their birthday party here in Farringdon on Friday 6th May, honcho Pev has gifted us a mix – a flavour of what to expect when *that* Bristol sound comes to the club.

Peverelist - 10 Years of Livity Sound

Artist: James Bangura
Name: Timothy
Location: Washington, D.C.
Current pronouns: he/him

The hi-hats of Fracture & Sam Binga’s “Xtatic” are blasting from the set of desktop speakers in my soon-to-leave Berlin apartment while I am writing these lines. It is the 5th time I am listening to the new Oscillate Mix by James Bangura and it still gives me the chills how versatile and flawlessly mixed it is. The energy is captivating from the first beat of Dynoman’s “Past Realities” until the last rolling bassline of Rene Wise’s bonus track “Truffle” and I wished the mix would not end after 1 hour 2 minutes and 17 seconds!

Timothy aka James Bangura is a Washington, D.C. based DJ, producer and label owner. He started releasing music in 2014 with his first official release named “Transitions” coming out on London-based Pineal Sounds in 2018. Since then Timothy has been putting out a constant flow of high quality releases on labels like Vanity Press Records, Mister Saturday Night Records, Haus of Altr, Banoffee Pies and Art-E-Fax and started his own label Percussion Functions with an 8-track compilation in 2019. Alongside Nativesun and Amal, Bangura started the super group Black Rave Culture which is at the heart of a new generation of Black artists reclaiming the roots of techno and making long overdue changes to the narratives about its origins. They released their self-titled debut album on the NYC label Haus of Altr in May 2021. Timothy is constantly working on new music and there might be an album coming out soon!

Current influences: “Dauwd, J.Albert, and Leon Vynehall. All three really push their sound while also maintaining characteristics that are signature to them.”

Motivation: “My mother will always be a constant motivation for me but also the desire to make or do something impactful.”

Tonight’s Somersault Mix is brought to us by @sheepshead__ 

“Sheepshead is a born-and-bred Brooklynite curator/DJ who has been helming the Newtype Rhythms series for Inverted Audio since 2017. Highlighting artists on the come-up along with surprise sets from legendary titans, the series has developed into an event series that has been hosted in local Brooklyn institutions such as Jupiter Disco, Heaven Or Las Vegas, Elsewhere and beyond. Additionally, you’ve probably seen him play parties at Bossa Nova, Good Room, House Of Yes and beyond whilst popping over for a set or two at The Lot Radio.

Gathering influences from pivotal experiences at parties such as Dub War and The Bunker, Sheepshead aims to continue the legacy of those events by entering into sonic parts unknown - playing out unique bass mutations that bounce between genres whilst never taking it all too seriously. In his contribution to the Somersault series, he delivers “The One-Take Wonder” - a journey that tickles the fancy of fans who seek out their mixes with a sense of bombast and cheekiness balanced. Get ready for a wild trip through the bass-bins.”

We hope you enjoy!🤸🏼‍♂️

NIKS - 10 June 2022

Martyn’s music transcends the constraints of genre… 

Pick a track from his extensive back catalogue and you’ll be sure to hear influences from Drum ’n’ Bass, Garage, Detroit, Chicago or Dubstep - the latter of which Martyn was probably known best for having been influential in the evolution of the “Post-Dubstep” sound in London that was so closely connected with institutions like Plastic People and FWD>.   

This broad collection of influences has created a sound that is distinctively, Martyn, and as an extension of that, a sound that is very much associated with his own label, 3024. It has also found it’s way on to the best labels across the electronic landscape, including Ninja Tune, Warp, Hyperdub, Brainfeeder and Ostgut Ton to name a few.  

His ability as a DJ runs parallel to his achievements as a producer, having secured his place in fabric history over 10 years ago with his contribution to our fabric CD series. A perfect snapshot of a place in time with music from Kode9, Actress, Zomby, Joy Orbison and lot’s more. 

He joins us on July 30th as part of a weekend of music curated by Goldie. Which features sets from LCY, rRoxymore B2B Fiedel, Goldie B2B DJ Bone & more. Tickets and more info can be found below:
