NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL 28 -30 August 2009
the whole weekend at the NOTTINGHILLARTS CLUB

WITH DECKS: Gringo Da Parada

DJ Gringo Da Parada, the man who helped to launch Favela Chic in Paris and later did the same again for Favela Chic in our own Great Eastern Street, proves that chaos theory can be applied to nightlife and everyone will be happier as a result. He's always been one of the principal DJs there, creating a soundtrack that revels in Brazil's myriad rhythms and carnival traditions while also embracing rock 'n' roll, hip hop, punk, techtronica and, well, whatever else takes his fancy.

G ringo Da Parada revels in adventurous eclecticism, inventive juxtaposition, rare and racy tunes that celebrate the wilder side of life while also moving music forward. Disorder and Progress is a place where Seu Jorge, Serge Gainsburg, the Rolling Stones and the Stone Roses may all get busy side by side and you'll hear classic grooves you'd almost forgotten you loved so much, alongside techno, hip hop, punk, B-more, Britpop, Gallic chansons and quirky electronica. In short, all we can reasonably say is expect the unexpected, because this is a night which makes the improbable possible. And makes you dance like a loco...

WITH DECKS: Radioclit, The Heatwave, Lil Silva, Vamanos, Moroka & a very very special secret guest LIVE: Top Cat, A.J.Holmes & The Hackney Empire

MON 30.08: Tribe Carnival Afterparty 4pm-2am, £8 in advance, more on the door

Hot on the heals of their much talked about loft party at the Light Bar in Shoreditch, Tribe make the move across town to West London for the first time for a carnival after party to remember at the Notting Hill Arts Club!

The carnival is always full of amazing color, sights, sounds and we want to bring people together here in London to celebrate the end of carnival in style with some great deep soulful afro house sounds, bringing our only unique Tribe flavour to the proceedings.
Joining our Tribe residents Zepherin Saint and Matt L-S spinning the deep soulful afro vibes as the sun goes down will be Timmy Regisford from Shelter in New York. For over a decade, Timmy has garnered admiration and respect globally with his brand of ballsy, soulful dance music, which places the emphasis on eclecticism rather than the predictable and the linear. His DJ sets are soulful and deep, while he isn't afraid to venture into the realms of more experimental rhythms. Many New Yorkers still pay homage to the man every Sunday morning at his Area Code residency which replaced his infamous Shelter party last year.
As MCA Records A&R Director he developed artists such Loose Ends, Soul 2 Soul Colonel Abrams, Guy and Eric B & Rakim to name a few and he has had a big hand in remixing the exciting Peven Everett ‘Beyond The Universe’ album project that Tribe Records will be releasing this summer and we look forward to welcoming him back to Tribe!

Make sure you join us in the rhythm of deep underground house music where the Tribe crew continues to push the boundaries of the club experience. Tribe's floor is your stage for dancing and expression going from strength to strength.
