M magazine @Independent Venue Week w/Circle Sky and Tomaga
So it's that time of year again when our work are doing a gig - and this one should be a stonker with Richard Norris and his new live analogue electronic outfit, Circle Sky.
Here's the blurb and tap us up for tickets...its next Thursday 28 January...
We are excited to announce that Tomaga (Hands in the Dark Records) and Circle Sky (Richard Norris and Dubka) will co-headline our M magazine night at The Sebright Arms, London, on Thursday 28 January 2016, in celebration of Independent Venue Week.
They will be joined by the inimitable record hound DJ Doug Shipton (Finders Keepers/B Music), who will be spinning delectable tunes throughout the night.
Tomaga are Tom Relleen and Valentina Magaletti - a pair of sonic voyagers whose unfettered musical explorations have led them to exciting new territories that loosely incorporate jazz, electronic and psych.
They also make up the rhythm section of psych-rock trio The Oscillation, and between them have played in countless other bands including Neon Neon, Raime, Shit and Shine and Voice of the Seven Thunders – all of which helps inform their unique sound.
We’re really chuffed to have them play at The Sebright Arms to debut their brand new live set. The show follows a brilliant year of mind-blowing sold-out gigs and their critically acclaimed sophomore album Familiar Obstacles.
Circle Sky is the exciting new electronic project from Richard Norris and Martin Dubka. Both have impeccable bleep-heavy CVs; Richard is best known for his work as The Grid and with likeminded music obsessive Erol Alkan as Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve.
Fellow synth addict Martin Dubka was a member of Kitsune-signed band Cazals but is now more notorious as a knob twister par excellence, tearing up many an East End dancefloor with his acid-drenched machine funk.
The duo are now making beautiful electronic music together as Circle Sky. With 30 tracks already recorded and a huge 2016 on the cards, their gig at The Sebright Arms will be their debut. Expect a live modular meltdown and synth heavy audiovisual assault on the senses.
We’re excited. You should be too.

Strung out on lasers
Well, well 2016 has been a weird year so far, characterised pretty much by death with the likes of Motorhead's Lemmy, actor Alan Rickman and of course David Bowie being taken.
There's been the usual weird out pourings on social media, in the papers and basically fucking everywhere. It adds up to an almost deafening noise, so loud you almost miss the music. So. Enough talk. Dig into this wicked Bowie mix from Optimo...

Drop beats, don't drop bombs you nob
January is all 'I'm not doing this' and 'I'm not doing that' and 'I'm gonna do that instead'. So vibes to those who've exchanged lager for quinoa and but vibes to those who've refused to give in. Here's a selection of some of the tastiest squelches to keep us going through the dark months...

I always wanted to be a juvenile delinquent but my parents wouldn't let me
Happy new year people. As is custom at this time of year, the past month of liquids has been one both hard and heavy, particularly as we have gone through Christmas like a hot knife through a delicious loads of cans. Last month it seemed fit to have a drink at literally every moment. Are you eating crisps? Have a pint. Is that a sink you're scrubbing? Here's a gin. Ah so you're sweeping the floor? Enjoy this bottle of Merlot. Here's what we've seen and can't remember. Now it's all about the resolutions, the new dreams and aspirations. We are going to clean the window sill. We might even get the boiler to work. And stop flicking snot around the room. Maybe...

The monsters were the best friends we had
I love eggs and I love faces. Well I don't really like the latter that much but blending eggs with faces seems to be a real vibe. Now that the work canteen no longer offers scrambled eggs on toast as an option, I've started working from home one day a week so I can get my fix of being a culinary Dr Frankenstein. In doing so, it seems only right that these meals should have personalities, addictions and idiosyncracies. Otherwise, it'd be boring... here's a line up of who we've been eating in 2015...
