Quick update

Chairkickers:

Opening night is set for Fri 30 Jan 09 at the new TOKYO STAR in Greenside 8pm - 2am.

The idea is to try and fuse an early 'listening' set with a dancefloor orientated set as the night progresses.
I hope to cover a wide range of music early in the night with a focus on the interesting newer and/or underplayed...the kind of stuff you don't normally get hear because it's to slow or unknown or unpredictable to drop into a normal set.
The later set is made up of music to dance to drawing from the trusty Indie/Bleep/RnR banner.

So...you'll be able to lounge and impress early-on while savouring the strains Fleet Foxes, Magnetic Fields, Lykke Li, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Feist and Johnny Cash and then lose yourself on the floor to The Foals, Soulwax, Digitalism, Vampire Weekend, Ladyhawke and so on.

Guest DJ's will add a slant to both slots. Early setters (unconfirmed) so far are Shane Durrant (Desmond & the Tutu's) and Lloyd Gedge (Pavement Special). The only rule is "Play what you love, what moves you and what makes it all worth it". The early set guests will mostly not be regular DJ's, but rather people from all walks with impeccable music taste.
The late set guests will draw from the current pool of DJ's we know and love and hopefully some new up and comers.

Important to me is to try and give something back. I'd like to set-up a collection tin for my favourite charity "Hole In The Wall' in Berea. Since there is no entrance fee, I'd like to encourage everyone to donate R10 or R20 or items that the charity use on a day to day basis (they look after abandoned babys) at each party.

All will be revealed shortly.

Electric Affair:

Coming up is part 2 of the revivalist Italo-Cosmic Disco/Hi NRG/vintage Electro influenced night with King Of Town, Sassquatch, Young Smuts, Beroldski and myself.
We meet soon to discuss venues options and dates.
