After a banging start to the year Pollinate return to Notting Hill to kick off the carnival season. A full on Brazilian theme for those who can't make this year's party in Rio next month. Super special guests London School Of Samba head the line up, that's 30 drummers & dancers battering some truly outrageous brazilian beats. Joining in the fun is one of Brazil's most loved popstars, Joao Brasil. Fresh from releasing a huge single with Marina Gasolina (of CSS) on Man Recordings he brings an MPC full of Baile Funk party madness! Pollinate residents Silky Boys & Moroka are back to make sure things go out of control and you all lose your minds on the dancefloor. 7pm-2am, free before 8pm, £6 before 11pm, £8 after |
Talking At Me is where resident DJ Rita Maia invites DJs and live acts from across the globe to present the best of the current underground dance music scenes - the finest filtered breaks, bass beats, UK funky and an eclectic mix of new club music. For February's T.A.M. session, we've invited ace DJ-producer Diamond Bass over from Lisbon's Enchufada stable and local heroes Lixo and Jet Letts represent West London's Get Me! label. Diamond Bass is signed to the same (Enchufada) label as Buraka Son Sistema and produces insanely catchy kuduro-meets-global-bass tracks on the 'Se Prepara' and 'Lwanda' EPs which are beloved by DJs like Bok Bok, L-Vis 1990, Stereotyp and Martelo. That's when he's not busy spinning eclectic selections of house, kuduro, dubstep and whatever globalized and bass-heavy tune makes the crowd dance the most. DJs Lixo and Jet Letts have played the Arts Club many times before, especially at the Reely and Truly nights, but their Get Me! club night and creative collective has moved on a stretch since then. In July last year it sprouted the Get Me! record label which was kickstarted with thrilling EPs from Dam Mantle and Becoming Real. Expect to hear a lot more future electronica and bass-driven beats from their artists soon. In the meantime, look forward to some bashment basslines (probably), fresh tunes from Numbers and Night Slugs and Get Me! and who knows what else. Rita
Maia hosts the Saturday night electronic music show 'Sine
of the Times' on Resonance 104.4 FM, which won the Best London
Radio Station award for the third time at the Radio Academy 2011 Awards.
