Cartel vs. Killawatt 8th November 2008
Image Trusting that you've all 'cleaned' up after our one-off opener with Filth at Drift, our second party of the year returns to it's home at The Lounge for an electric combination to send high voltage shock waves straight to yer dancing shoes! Cartel versus Killawatt!!

Cartel's Tim Cook, Phil Thompson & Tommy Mundell join forces with the undeniable genius of Killawatt's Dave Robertson & Jon Gurd to bring you an event worth buying tickets for! I'm so excited about this I'm actually looking forward to the cold November nites!! Definitely put this one in your diaries!

There are so many good nites around at the moment and it's sometimes hard to chose which one to go to but if you came to last year's Cartel with Dave Robertson then you'll remember it as being unrivalled! This time Dave is joined by the equally brilliant Jon Gurd for another live set that you really shouldn't miss! I don't think I need to say much more on that......Oh! except to remind you that all this will be coming to you over a crystal clear 15K Funktion-one sound sytem....that you will be made most welcome at the door whatever you're wearing...and that we're all gonna have a wicked, wicked party!! ROCK ON!!

Tickets are £7.00 each and will only be available on the door on the nite.

Really lookin forward to seeing you all!!

To quote Railyard Recordings......

"New Jack Hustlers EP: Welcome aboard Flight RYR013, departing from JFK and taking you on a twisted journey from the Aviary at the Brooklyn Zoo to the Waterfront at Portsmouth. There will be several layovers along the way. First stop takes us to the UK where Tim Cook unleashes a mainfloor pounding with "Dip Out". Next stop Brooklyn, where longtime friend & madman Charlie Mo trades in high-tech cement work for the pulsing Nitrous Oxide rhythms of “Hippy Crack”. Onward to Sweden where Martin Skogehall reminds us to pack the parkas as hypnotic, dreamlike soundscapes of "Penguino" spin afterhours dancefloors. We end our trip in Singapore, where local player Xhin delivers 20 lashes with a proper tech-house excursion in the "5th Hour".

RyR013 DJ support: Gregor Treshor, Oliver Huntemann, Sian, Craig Richards, Jeff Samuel, Mark Henning, Paco Osuna, Xpansul, Billy Dalessandro, Dj Three, Andrew Grant, Chris Fortier"
