basilika

If things seem a little quieter than usual here at basilika, it’s because we are in another one of our ‘transitional modes’. If it isn’t fresh and new every 3-6 months we get a bit twitchy and bored. As ever there are a good few things bubbling under and changes that we want to make-all […]

This one is a bit of a basilika classic.
Hubtone-hot muffin(gerd’s 4lux edit) is a dirty slab of p-funk inspired mayhem almost garanteed to get one or both of us pulling out the air bass and giving it a work out.
As is often the case, genuine dancefloor pressure doesn’t really need to be too clever and […]

Everyone who regularly reads this blog will know the high esteem in which we hold the Primeister.It is shame then to read (via spine) that his latest mixtape is taking aim at deejays using new technology. Being big fans of serato(and the future in general) it is sad to see people you respect taking such […]

The mighty Firemusic has posted the new disco jesus mix entitled ‘Summer’. The mix is a fantastic selection of rare and heartfelt black music and is the fruit of a lifetime of crate digging and clubbing.
It is all too easy these halcyon days of internet forums and obsessive beardy circle jerks to forget that for […]

Saturday night’s basilika was another epic 8-hour journey through disco,boogie, hip-hop and our beautiful bar tab. Illa was backfooted by a 12 hour bender the night before (insert joke here), but came through with an epic selection of rainy city gems. I was having one of my twice a year ‘I can mix’ nights (sort […]

There are a hundred good reasons to be making your way eastward tonight to the bi-monthly musical riot that is basilika at the elbow room.

A crew of us ended up at Plastic People on Saturday night and what  a night it was. A beautifully eclectic selection of the finest music all played through one of the most finely (if not the most) balanced sound systems in London. It was a dj’s gig. Every tune dipped into a different genre […]

Behold !
My supa-talented brother has just knocked out a flyer for the new,
improved,  monthly basilika. It all kicks off (again) this
friday-should be the best night in the history of the world.
See you there.

Friday was rocking. Lots of good tunes etc. For about 2 hours we had a group of party-hardy tourists dancing infront of the booth (which is pretty rare for us). At one point they all started doing the conga, which kinda of ruined the ‘loft ‘79′ vibe we were trying to cultivate but fuck it […]
