Presenting "Pin Ups" - New UKGH night for London

Glitch & Bowl in London town!

On 19th September 2014 a new Glitch Hop club night hits central London.  From 9pm-3am some of the UK's hottest talent hits Bloomsbury Lanes WC1 for a night of phat tunes, big vibes and if we're lucky plenty of strikes!

Joint the Facebook event page HERE for more info.

UK Glitch Hop crew from Colony Productions, Wonk#ay Records and Skanky Panky Records have clubbed together to bring this for you so whatever style of Glitch Hop you're into, expect some top notch tunes.

Tickets are available from http://pinups.ticketsource.co.uk/ but move quick and get some in advance to get them for the frankly ridiculous price of £3.  Otherwise £5 on the door (still a bargain even if we say so ourselves!)

On top of the bargain door price, Wonk#ay Records will be giving away download codes to the first 50 people through the door for their next EP by "Twins are loud".

I'M CONTAGIOUS! Free glitchy bass compilation compiled by Wonk#ay Records bossman Bunkle

Wonk#ay Records release free music from the twisted end of the listening spectrum. Their last downtempo compilation included tracks from Kursa and Zen Death Squad back before you'd even heard of them, while 2012 has seen the release of Kursa's debut EP and Olmec's first mid tempo four-track. In other words, a new selection from label boss Bunkle is worth paying attention to, glitches.

This time round we open with a cinematic string build up from Thunder VIP clearing the way for Wattknot's twisted electro-glitch, rumbling into skanking robot bass juju from Olmec, an arm bouncing funk throwdown from Lionel Glitchy (responsible for one of the best Make It Bun Dem re-glitches), furious stumbling pulse stabs from Duskky, filthy bumping saw bass stylings from M3H, Dirty Job's surprisingly understated half-speed hype dubstep, tumbling techno-esque twostep from Hurtdeer and a nuerofunk foot-twister by ASVRA to cap it off. There really isn't a bad track on here. If you like music with a dirty edge, what are you waiting for? IT'S FREE!
