Hello all,
It’s only a couple of weeks now until we have Hudson Mohawke, superlative hip hop producer, play Dummy’s first birthday party at the Macbeth on the 30th April. Also on the bill is the sublime rock band Egyptian Hip Hop and DJs Stopmakingme and Fnord.
Dummy started life as a quarterly music magazine in 2005, and re-launched as a website (http://www.dummymag.com) and record label in February 2009. We’ve had a really great year, put on some great parties with Delphic, Everything Everything, O Children, Solid Gold and My Tiger My Timing, and released records by the Golden Filter and Lost Valentinos. The editorial side of things has gone from strength to strength, with world exclusive interviews with the Knife, Liars and Ewan Pearson in the last month alone, and we recently started running parties with promotions family Dollop.
We're massive fans of Hudson, whose elasticated, Technicolor productions on ‘Butter’ [Warp] upended both conventional hip hop and monochrome electronica, so we jumped at the chance to present him. We fell in love with Egyptian Hip Hop's melodic jams last Summer, so when we heard them say they were massive Hudson fans, we asked them to play. Happily, they said yes. Dan Avery / Stopmakingme made our very first mix back in March '09 and has since taken on writing duties, on top of promoting Kill 'Em All and a steady stream of excellent remixes, and will be playing records alongside Fnord, Our Man Fred from Durrr, and Faley from Late Of The Pier’s new DJ team.
We're down to the last few advanced £7 tickets (£10 further more). Don't want to sound cocky, but it's probably worth booking ahead for this one.
To warm your cockles for the event we have a 30 minute mix from one of dollop’s resident DJ's, Foe. It’s a mix of lush Nu-Garage, 2 Step and Funky...
