On the 17th April, Get Some returns home to the The Gramaphone with a card stacked full of talent.
Tipped by Fact Magazine as one of their producers to watch for 2010, Mosca (www.myspace.com/deejaymosca) is leaving no stone unturned this year. When not working on Bruk Magazine (www.brukmagazine.wordpress.com) with Unknown Soulja, or promoting their club night U Dun Know, he’s busy in the lab cooking up beats. Super fresh production, genre smashing club music. Square One is out now on Night Slugs.
With remixes under their belts for Hot Chip and Gorillaz, a pioneering 3D rave night, a radio show and a record label, Dancing Robot (http://www.dancingrobotmusic.co.uk) look set to stop at nothing but world domination. Their live shows are pure hype and the lads’ sets at packed out Coronet and Koko are sights to behold.
Badboy Rinse FM DJ’s Elijah and Skilliam have been rocking out shows across Europe with the toughest grime and dubstep sets. It can’t be overstated how much they do for the scene with their Butterz blog (http://verybutterz.blogspot.com/) pushing the sound far and wide. And with a record label on the way, the levels continues to be kept high. Dubplate pressure not to be missed.
As per, resident Get Some selectors will keep you niced up all night with the right blend of old and new. Stick it in your diary.
5 POUND ALL NIGHT

With 2009 being the year that many underground artists and genre’s achieved mainstream chart success there has never been a better reason for one and all to come together, share a great night of music and raise money for a worthy cause.
The event takes place at the infamous 1200 capacity Den & Centro (formerly The End) in central London on the 20th January.
All proceeds will go to Ctrl.Alt.Shift (a Christian Aid initiative) partners in Haiti where hundreds of thousands of people are already feared dead and many more are believed to be critically injured. Countless are homeless. The five partner groups are are targeting areas that are getting little help from other agencies. They hope to provide food, tents, hygiene kits, blankets, jerry cans for water, water purifiers and medical support.
DATE: Wednesday 20th January
TIME: 10pm-5am
PRICE: Minimum donation on the door £5
VENUE: The Den & Centro, 18 West Central St, London WC1A 1JJ (formerly The End)
If you’re not in London but still want to donate to help people affected by the Haiti earthquake, don’t forget you can text “GIVE” to 70077 to donate £5 to the DEC for Haiti. £5 goes to DEC. You pay £5 + your standard network SMS rate. The donation is deducted from your phone bill.
We are well and truly in the thick of the party season. Pubs, clubs, warehouses and offices are all getting in on the action. With everyone bursting at the seams to tell you HOW GOOD their night is going to be, it can get a little overwhelming. I’m sure the scene is similar up and down the country but ravers in London are lucky enough to have a site like INFORMED LONDON to give them an honest and impartial selection of what’s on offer. Whether it’s a Boxing Day bash or a NYE 24-hour marathon sesh for you and your mates, they’ve got the answer.
