We Wear The Gold

Sheffield club nights C90 and Rough Disko have been dilly-dallying for time, attempting to outdrink and outnerd each other via arm wrestles, epic binges, meat eating competitions and heated debates on the pros and cons of Dj Funk and whether his wardrobe is too fresh.

So it’s no surprise that after all this flirting, the pair of floozies have decided to jump into bed with each other, have a frig and tumble and show the world the resulting mess they made. Out of the shadows comes We Wear The Gold, an evening of booty and bass. This is what these cretins listen to when no one else is watching. The first one is Friday March 27th at the Stockroom in Sheffield. Check it.

Even better they’ve put together a pair of mixtapes to showcase what flex they’re saying. Noisy stupid club music.

The first one from the Gag Reflex is you can download here. The mysterious Derek Tibbs' masterwork can be found here. Get on these free loads.

Vibe? This time it’s personal…

Oi oi Sheffield, it’s been a long time no see scenario since our bad selves last got entangled with the heat and sweat of the disco night. After smashing it back in February with the C90 boys (respekt respekt) at Penelopes for a rumble which was reet and royal, we retreated into the darkness to sharpen our rave claws and polish the buttons on our jackets woven from the dankest of hype.

It’s May time and now we’re gearing ourselves up for another descent of deep, down and dirty digital dance floor action. The movement bounced and bumped so hard in February that we couldn’t resist bringing back fellow piss heads, the C90 ladies for a rematch in this, the first of a trio of early summer parties….

However, to ensure the do really does go off at the deep end, we’ve drafted in one of the big dons of bass pressure to bring some fire power to the riot. This time we welcome bleepy garage hero, Sheffield’s very own ORIS JAY.

Local hero Oris is a well respected member of the dance music fraternity, both under and over ground. Weaned on pirate radio and illicit sound systems, he’s one of the early warriors of the dubstep scene, emerging through the early days of jump up and now standing tall as a purveyor of wobbly synthesised two step, garage, bleep and rave.

His name and shadow stretches far outside of Sheffield. Having forged a top 40 hit with his tune ‘Trippin’, he’s collaborated with everyone from Ms Dynamite to Rodney P, released tracks labels including Polydor, Tectonic, Planet Mu, EMI, Bingo, Storming Productions and Hospital and featured on Nitin Sawhney’s Fabric Live compilation and Freq Nasty’s Breakspoll CD…

Oris tore Sonar in two last year and did some serious damage at the Bloc weekender back in March. You’re as likely to hear his riddims at a Warp party in Spain as they are raising the roof of a Nova in Pittsmoor, Sheffield. Armed with his mixture of dubstep, techno and electronics, he will bring this rave crashing in on itself with the emotional TNT he charges those turntables. We’re very excited indeed…

Rough Disko vs C90 The Bass Off - Feb 15th @Penelopes

Gag Reflex cracks a smile and nearly cracks the lens... heavy
















The baying hoardes wobbling















Look at this dubstep loving sore - Rich C90 in the midst of the dancefloor meltdown...It's so big he can barely keep his tongue in his mouth...

















The bass off in full effect...


Jeez louise - it's been ruddy ages since I last grappled with my typewriter and updated this ere blog up - I've been slack make no mistake...

The past few weekends have been full of naughtiness. Leave work on a Friday hellbent on staying up forever on some sort of chemical quest to find the chosen land (i.e bed) via a few cinematic classics (e.g Tremors, The Warriors) and a good old rant about vegetables.

Here for your delight are a few images from the Rough Disko party we through a couple of weeks back. We did get to bed via a debate on the merits of cauliflower cheese. The next day we visited a curry house where they sold you poppabombs, a savoury starter which resemble soggy rice crispies too fat for your gob.

Rough Disko Vs C90 in THE BASS OFF @ PENELOPES FEB FRI 15TH

ROUGH DISKO PRESENT - THE BASS OFF
Where - Penelopes, Sheffield
When - Friday, February 15th
What - 10.30 while 4
Damage - £4

The malignant ROUGH DISKO beast lumbers into 2008 with a new party for your ears and feet, at the scene of December’s nocturnal crime PENELOPES…
This time bring a spare of pants - we’re throwing up THE BASS OFF for a heavy sound clash featuring Sheffield’s electronic and beer loving hounds, C90...
December saw the ROUGH DISKO Djing/gymnastic team display aerobics both on the floor and behind the decks. The wonk levels were jacked up to 98 with help from South London’s finest purveyers of crunking electronics dragged straight from the gutter, ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD. Props to those mothers for bringing some proper plastik to the chaos…

After spazzing it up domestic style over the NY, February sees us back on the nightime road and welcoming our compadres C90 to the bash. Cut from a similarly demented electronic bent as ourselves, these mothers started holding parties for the same reasons we got embroiled. Cos Steel City night’s can be tuff when no other fun freaks are licking the same pole as you, you mother…

They’ve put on parties with a wide array of guests - Digital Mystikz, DJ Scotch Egg, Boombip, Fog, Rob Hall, Maga Bo, Neil Landstrumm - from such a sparkling array of musical madness you can imagine what sort of sickness they’ll be bringing - all manner of batty bass from dubstep, minimal, bleep to glitched up grime and beats.

Couple that with the Rough Disko team (cut to JIMPOTENT, GAG REFLEX and THE LONDON WICKER since BOB FUNKHOUSE’s sad departure to the smoke), purveyors of electro, house, bassline, house, techno, ghetto tech and booty shaking business and you’ve got a twisted meeting of night-time beams, two crews willing to push each other over the edge into bass fuelled chaos…. Bring on the bass…
