Mark Du Mosch at Tomorrow People, GRV, Edinburgh, 08.09.08















"Tomorrow People welcomes newcomer Mark du Mosch as a special guest on Monday September 8th. The Dutch DJ is in Scotland for a Saturday night guest spot, also his UK DEBUT, at Glasgow's Twisted Wheel (Slabs of The Tabernacle night) and when Slabs resident DJ Andrew Ingram got in touch to say the Dutchman was planning to stay a few days and visit Edinburgh en route back to Rotterdam, it was too good an opportunity to pass up on, so we've invited the Slabs residents to come and join Mark on the decks with us at our weekly night at the GRV and are now royally looking forward to it."

Tomorrow People

"Kicking things off in the Edinburgh Old Town's hip and happening GRV bar space every Monday night, The Trouble DJs (Hobbes & Erik d'Viking) are trashing the commercial DJing sensibilities and concerns about 'moving the floor' to focus on playing all the really exciting music out there which you haven't heard before or played to death. Come down with an open mind and a willingness to check out something fresh, something different and something genuinely exciting and new.

The Music: Obscure, upfront and unplayed cosmic, italo, boogie and electro disco (beard music!), dubstep, 2-step, b-more, bassline, bootlegs (only the good ones ones!), re-edits, rarities and obscurities, plus the odd minimal and electronic nugget! Advance releases, blog exclusives, promos, downloads etc.
Tomorrow People, we're future-retro. Are you?"

Countach Moustache - All Day Disco Terror






















Its time for another all day disco session at the Halt Bar! This time we've pretty much taken over the line-up to make it the official Slabs after-after party and some of our pals from across the country will be joining us.
Casionova takes the magic carpet up from Brighton and Alex Fildes & Nick The Greek take the M6 up from Liverpool.
It'll probably kick off at about 1500 hours and take off early evening.. Keep tight hold of yer headphones!

SLABS 021/022 - Guest Slabs From The Past


Here we have 2 old mixes for you, and both are well worth revisiting...2 sunday night delights from sound boy Steve Mason (Black Affair). These went out live on my old show “Dub Stations” for the radio station Fresh Air. I guess you could call them "Guest Slabs From The Past".

With the first mix every track is serious prime cut, musically covering a lot of ground in a relatively short space of time.

King Stitt – Scandal
Prince Buster – Shaking Up Orange Street
Cimerons – We Are Not the Same
U Roy – Tom Drunk

Cutty Ranks – Hitman
Supercat – Boops
Sizzla – Solid as a Rock

His second set was done almost a year later and with this one he goes on a dub trip, with plenty of samples thrown in. Bl Bl Bl Blessed.

The Dogs Bollocks










I found a couple of MiniDiscs the other day of sets I had recorded in France from Erik Rug, The Counter Culture Show (Fat City), DJ Deep and Laurent Garnier.

Garnier began another residency at The Rex Club whilst I was there and named the night 'The Dogs Bollocks'. It was on a Thursday night, started at about midnight and finished whenever he felt like. One set in particular brought back fond memories. This section of the night was recorded 11.01.2001 and was broadcast shortly after on Radio Nova. Once again he delivers yet another great deep house and techno mix.

Space Is The Place


















Slabs

Saturday 6th September
22.30-03.00
£6 Entry

MARK DU MOSCH
RESIDENTS (ANDREW INGRAM, BRIAN d'SOUZA, HOBBES)

Already at our fifth event, we have hosted Scottish debuts for a number of artists such as The Third Man (ai Records), UK italo pioneer Casionova (Magic Waves, Cyber Dance Records, Dissident) and Mills sound-alike Hek (Rehab, Liverpool). We are now looking further afield by inviting across Rotterdam's Mark du Mosch (Moustache Records) to make his first ever UK appearance.

As soon as we heard his first record "Let It Go" in 2006 on Keynote, Mark became the prime target on the Slabs radar. He makes music that belongs on another galaxy, melodies that sound like they were crafted on the moon, layered with deep spacey synth swooshes that will illuminate any dancefloor.


















Space helmets at the ready for a DJ set that will explore the realms of disco, italo, house, techno and beyond…

Slabs @ Radio Magnetic Soundsystem

Our good friends at Radio Magnetic have asked us to come along to the Ivy tomorrow night:

"The Radio Magnetic Soundsystem takes to the clubs once again with a new and invigorated stable of DJ's. The Soundsystem's first port of call will be Glasgow's pub of the moment, The Ivy on Friday 8th August and from there we aim to man the wheels on a monthly basis. The plan is to get through all of the quality DJ's and presenters on our roster so to kick things off we've got Slabs of the Tabernacle and Tony 'The Beat Delivery' playing a fine mix of what they do best."

Selections coming from slabs resident Ingram and myself. We hope to see you there! But do be sure to leave any pets at home!

Good times at Slabs 004!

Special thanks goes out to Alex and Nick who made the mission up from Liverpool, to Toby for his warm-up and finally to John who turned the place upside down and into a right sweatbox!

These are two segments taken from the night, The Third Man's live set and Hek's punishing workout.
