WHOMP celebrates being voted Best UK Glitch Hop night with a FREE PARTY at a new venue, Relay in Shoreditch, on Saturday 23 March. It's Dephicit's first London gig alongside Spenghead, residents Vent, Tryptich, our very own Mikes Wallis B2B Lumo and Morbidly Obese Midget plus Oik. You actually can't go wrong!
Huge thank you to everyone who came down to celebrate our 1st birthday
and awards at Juno last night! The place was properly buzzing, so good
to get the fam together. Thanks as well to Your Niece, William
Breakspear, Automaton & Terrorbyte, Morbidly Obese Midget, Lone Drum
and Orangudan for truly bouncing sets. Massive congratulations to all our awards winners. Those who came down each went home with one of these custom made UK Glitch Hop trophies - complete with real chips.

The first Whomp in October has already become a thing of legend, with Opiuo blowing the building off the basement of PlanB in Brixton for his first ever London show (read our review here).
Tickets are now on sale for the second edition on 28 December and likely to sell out quick with headliners Reso plus UK Glitch Hop favourites Vent, Krossbow, William Breakspear of Skanky Panky, Tryptich, Mike Wallis of Colony Productions and Lumo completing the bill. Should be a gone one to work off all that turkey and cheese....

International glitch heads will know of Reso from his remix of Koan Sound's80s Fitness, while his debut album Tangram came out on Civil Music last month. As you can hear from the clip below, like label-mate Om Unit he inhabits a liminal space of bass that nods between house, twostep, future hop and mid tempo without ever being too tied down.
