Gold Teeth London
Friday, 5th July 2013
Jamm, 261 Brixton Road, Brixton, SW9 6LH
The mind blowing shenanigans that come with Gold Teeth make this a party that flips the mind numbing regularity of your average club night and brings a vibe that has taken Brixton Jamm to the edge of collapse as the patrons swing from the rafters and hang from the lightsSeeing is believing!
The guys from Gold Teeth have again spoken!
"The over-hyped and anticlimactic summer is finally upon us
The rich kids are about embark on four different holidays to the far flung corners of the world - all on Daddy's credit card; whilst the rest of us normal folk are having to think about how the hell we're going to pay the eye watering Zone 57 rent and still manage to eat, let alone afford any alcoholic beverages
All the plans you've made to have BBQs at Pollyanna's mansion in Cuntshire are going to be a complete wash out
England are going to retain the Ashes in a boring and predictable series; and that girl you've been crushing on all year is going to have photos, all over Facebook, of her hanging off a tanned brainless bicep in Croatia - just to add an extra dimension of despair to your dour London days
So here's to three months of disappointing weather, mind numbing boredom, and over priced festivals
I can't fucking wait for September, when any optimistic hope of a few consecutive days of warm weather has finally been quashed."
Still looking forward to the summer? Well don't waste it, get down to Gold Teeth for some mayhem of the finest order

KYODAIKYODAI means brothers in Japanese and that's about as good a clue as you're getting as to who these two producers are, suffice to say they regularly release under a variety of different names for labels such as Compost, Odori and Lovemonk
For their work under different monikers the sibling producer duo gained respect from musical heavy weights like Masters At Works, Gilles Peterson and Jimpster
Now with their new project KYODAI they have had a strong run of releases starting with their debut on Freerange Records in 2011
This EP 'Mi Rumba‘ must have impressed a lot of people such as Kerri Chandler and Nicolas Matar (Cielo) as they went on to release their follow up EP 'Breaking‘ for mad mats‘ and Tooli‘s blossoming Local Talk label
This one reached the charts on Juno Download's Biggest Deep House Tracks Of 2012 as well as the Gilles Peterson‘s 'An All Winners Show‘. Further releases in 2012 were 'Never Know‘ (Pokerflat), 'Sex Affair‘ (Room Control) and 'La Luz‘ (Freerange) to name a few
Stay tuned as they have a lot of new stuff in the pipeline for 2013 including their debut album coming out soon on Local Talk.

Petulant Penguin presents... Pest / Jouis
Friday 14th June 2013
This is going to be an amazing night!Pest have toured extensively as a headline act across the UK and Europe, as well as supporting artists including Nitin Sawhney, DJ Food, Soweto Kinch and Roni Size to name a few. With two previous acclaimed album releases through Ninjatune, Pest are always developing, always writing, and may often be found lurking round a corner ready to say “Boo!” to the obvious.
Jouis are a 5-piece band based in Brighton on the South Coast of England. They lace psychedelic progressive jazz with rhythmic and melodic experimentation, traveling to as far as they can reach in search of like-minded people to share their music, thoughts and good vibes with.
Jouis is a French word roughly translated as 'to be enjoyed' (derived from 'Jouissance'), a philosophy the band has upheld since its inception.
If this isn't enough for you there's also powerful foot stomping madness from 'The Ali Warren Band' and the superb voice of Jocie Juritz.
All tickets for this gig allow you entrance to the club night at Cargo that follows.

JOHN MORALES
In 1975 while working as a DJ in local Bronx club, John Morales realised that he wanted to lengthen the duration of some of his records. Back then the duration of most records was 3 to 4 minutes, so by using his TEAC 71/2 and a box of razor blades, John started splicing tape for endless hours and became one the first DJ’s to create the ‘extended mix’ (or ‘remix’ in it’s original form). In doing so, he realised that he could achieve a similar outcome by cutting, slicing and taping parts from different recordings. This formed the basis for his acclaimed (deadly) medleys. John says “I can still see the 100′s of edits zoom by every-time I play the tape”. John Morales started to release some of his reel to reel edits, medleys and remixes to Acetate via the Sunshine Sound (a NYC studio where DJ’s could bring their reel to reel tapes and have acetate copies cut one at a time), so that he could play these tracks at clubs. Greg Carmichael gave him his first mixing job after hearing some of his Sunshine Acetate mixes and these first two official mixes made him famous: ‘Dance and Shake Your Tambourine‘ by ‘The Universal Robot Band‘ and the classic ‘I’m Caught Up” by Inner Life. However some of his early mixes and edits, even those officially released, were and remain uncredited and so might not appear in his discography! John has worked for numerous acts and has been involved in the creation of over 500 songs – both on his own and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). John Morales can lay claim to being one of the most important figures in the creation of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.
Please Note: Our last 4 parties have completely sold out so be sure to lock in a spot on the dancefloor early for this special show.
