basilika

check out gorgio in all his glory.

Friday is the marvellous ‘Globo Loco’ at Cargo.
We went to the first one a couple of months ago and it was a blast.
Loads of really weird music that despite being directly related to tradition that goes back hundreds of years somehow feels undiscovered and brand new.
This month’s gig features the gypsy punk stylings of mama […]

When you play out a couple of times a week it can hard keeping your focus. You can drift into a semi-automatic routine; you know certain records will work in a certain order and you can end up djing by numbers.
It doesn’t help that some of the places you play may not be exactly condusive […]

Checked out the mighty Pharoah Monch at 93 Feet East last night and damn was it sweaty!!Despite a severe lack of air con (it must have been 8000 degrees in there last night) and a uber-lame pre-gig selection (the entire best of De La Soul on CD-wtf!) it was a killer gig.
Pharoahe took it back […]

Seems like along time ago that the illster, bru and me set up the mighty basilika at a really shit bar in Angel. (BRB-I’m talking about you). We playing excellent records to uninterested punters every thursday and it was hard freakin work.

And now bru is married and a dad !-Illa is doing the fat city […]

saturday is basilika-which is going to be a bit of a strange one.
Starts at ten after brasil/france and a good few hours after the england game-which means everyone (me included) is going to be either supa-depressed or drunkenly elated or freekin monged after 6/7 hours of drinking.
got a feeling it might not be a ‘classic’
…and […]

Everything has slowed down to a snails pace here at basilika towers.

Blame the heat, the world cup-who knows, every so often it’s just good to step away from shit to get some perspective, otherwise it can all get a bit stale.
There are some cool things that are bubbling up for the future and there is […]

Whilst Jacque Soul’s playing with his boules on the continent, it’s down to me to spread the word about the Basilika bash this coming Saturday 3rd.
Basilika’s pride of the dales, Monsieur ILLA will be holding court alongside Basilika’s shame of Shoreditch, Jak Soul. Expect fresh ta death exclusive pressure from our man in the […]

 
Big news of the week is the  much delayed release of  brubekk’s mighty earthshaker.
Of course we been rinsing this puppy for months now-it’s gonna be weird hearing other people drop it, but it’s cool seing the buzz it’s creating for the firemusic edit king.
Fatcity are loving it (cough, nice one illa, cough) and piccadilly have […]

It’s been some time since I last posted, what with a brief tour of Puerto Rico, some technical difficulties, some technical blessings, and a rather hectic schedule of gigs under my other guise as resident for Sambalanco.
  We’re gearing up for an audible feast at Basilika towers. NEXT FRIDAY 26TH, Jak and I will be […]
