Greetings friends,

We wanna send out our biggest apologies to anyone who turned up at Basing House for the Ken & Davy party, there was a power cut that was out of anyones control, which we were unable to get fixed in time, but don’t worry Down Under heads, you will see Ken & Davy at an Unserious party very soon.

We thought about what would be the best gesture we could make to our followers, to show that we are deadly serious about making it up to them, and we decided that booking London’s top afteparty tune selector might be the best option.

For any London clubber, this man should not need an introduction, but here’s one anyway. Jaded and One More resident, Raymundo Rodriguez has been a staple of the London circuit for a long time, intoxicating crowds with his colossal music collection and playing with the best in the business week in week out is what he does for fun. Needless to say excitement levels are through the roof at Unserious Towers.

Supporting Raymundo will be Unserious residents Alex Kleve & Anthony Nidis.

10th May – The Roots presents Colin Dale

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Everything you hear now. This is where it came from…

While purging his 25,000 strong vinyl collection last year Matthew B, aka Bushwacka! came across so many hidden gems and special records that he decided to team up with fellow long time DJ Richie Fingers and start a night dedicated to bringing these amazing tunes to the music lovers of the here and now.

It is roughly 25 years since the birth of Acid House and this night is very much centered on music from 1987-1990, which hugely influences everything we are listening to at the moment. In fact so much so that one could argue that production quality aside, we are all dancing to the same beat again.

This is the original house sound. The Thursday night vinyl based house music party featuring special guests each month. Having already welcomed Mr C and Evil Eddie Richards to play the first 2 events, this month’s special guest is Colin Dale. To call Colin Dale “legendary” is no over-estimation. Here is a DJ that has been one of London’s most cutting edge DJ’s for over 20 years and still continues to surprise and marvel.

Tickets are available exclusively and super cheap at 5 pounds, from Resident Advisor on this link:

See you there!

Love and hugs…The Roots.

12th May – Mooch presents Patrick Lindsay

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Mooch gets exclusive!

Now 3 parties young in the amazing rave cave they call Basing House. March’s party saw Highgrade’s Dashchund flown all the way from Switzerland to dish out his bass infused tech house to room full of hungry Moochers. Stepping up a gear for May’s party we sent our search parties to Berlin in the hunt for something a little different while still keeping in-tune with our signature sounds. We have bagged a UK exclusive artist who’s chomping at the bit to give us all lesson in funked up techno thats just right to get your Saturday night groove on. In addition to May’s headliner we’ve invited back Mooch veteran Kath Harding for a special B2B session with our own Natalie Coleman, a very welcome return to all that have seen them laying down 4/4 before. So without further ado, we introduce…..

Patrick Lindsey [Hideout / Terminal M]

Patrick’s musical journey started way back when the C64 was state of the art. By 1994 he, alongside former classmate Anthony Rother had had they’re first relases on Heiko Laux Kanzleramt and on the now legendary Frankfurt imprint Harthouse. 2 years later and he hits the jackpot again with Malephonk and Phonkschool on School records – the unofficial forerunner to his own Funkwelle label. These days he’s released music on a string of high profile labels including Trapez, Hideout Kling Klong and his tracks are regularl;y featured in the playlists of some of the scenes biggest movers and shakers.

No stranger to the decks either his DJ’ing transmits his extroverted personality and he strives to form an intimate connection with the crowd. Taking advantage on wide range of technology from laptops to Vinyl his shows offer a unique and fresh experience with a huge portion of “funk” for measure.

Kath Harding [WiSH]

Kath’s intricate eye for detail, established from her fine art and graphics foundation, has been the driving force to success for WiSH over the past few years. She has a unique intuitive style and an ability to read and surprise any crowd. Her style is a brave collage of trend-led techno, groovy minimal with undertones of early house. A journey that explores the sometimes dark and sometimes funk-infused side of electronic music, all served up with a generous helping of the well-known Kath Harding twist. It is this added element of surprise that has made the downstairs dancefloor at WiSH a clubbing mecca for many. Her eye for detail has not been lost on the WiSH programming where over the past couple of years she has played alongside Chloé, Jennifer Cardini, Fra Soler, Raymundo Rodriguez, Tim Sheridan, Mistress De Funk, Nicole Moudaber amongst others.

Warming up the floor for the Mooch familia will be your trusty residents Ed Jones and Nick Walters.
