Hold up people this just in… Robzilla and myself have been asked to fill a slot on The Secret Garden Party festival tomorrow evening. We’re over the moon with the news and running home now to feverishly pack tents and equipment for the weekend. We’ll be playing on the Valley of the Antics stage at 7.50pm, right before Foreign Beggars, if you…
This Sunday I attended the protest against the atrocities occurring in Iran. The protest took place in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester City Centre. It was a peaceful protest and although people were clearly very upset and concerned about the issue at hand, there was absolutely no trouble at all. As a sign of support, we brought down strips of green material and…
This short was created by Ilya Pavlovsky who helms the bar at our venue Walrus… top lad and by the looks of it has the skills to boot!
We haven’t posted a tune in a while, so it’s good to come back with a couple funky little tracks from our good friends Fuzzbox based in Jersey, a beautiful island actually closer to France than the UK! Fuzzbox are Joe Pope and Colin Moore, pure edit heads, mixing their own flavour into old funk tracks, demonstrated perfectly by these two tracks!…
A massive thank you to goes out to everyone who came down to Yum Yum on Friday, and special thanks goes to DJ Sketchy (and his lovely lady!) of MAN MAKE MUSIC for making the long train ride north to come rock our party… and rock it he did!
He was also kind enough to drop us a mix for us to post, have a listen and go show some love for Sketchy on myspace…
We’ve been so busy recently it’s been difficult to get a new mix together, but happy to say June’s mix is done and dusted and here for your listening pleasure (still have a few copies of the YY UK VOL 4 CD for anyone coming down to Walrus this week). It’s an unashamed party mix this time round, and a good reflection of some of the tunes that are really raising the roof for us in Manchester!
The next Yum Yum will be Friday July 3rd, details to follow asap… but it’s gonna be my birthday bash also… the BIG THREE-OH! There’s guaranteed to be a Scottish invasion that night with some of my countrymen making the trip down to usher me into my Dirty Thirties, so it’s bound to be a raucous affair… be warned!

Not being producers ourselves, and relying on our friends for some fresh material, we thought we would share another booty from atomic hooligan that’s been working well in Manchester over the last few weeks. Taking vocal samples from Eric B & Rakim’s Know the Ledge, this is a dancefloor destroying electro, bassline tear out to get fists pumping and feet jumping! know-the-ledge-atomic-hooligan-remash2…
