Boomshank Shakedown

"Alan Titmash at work"

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Boomshank Redemption gig on Saturday. It was my first London gig and I really enjoyed it. It went well and the crowd were great. Thanks too to everyone I caught up with and chatted to, especially Johnny for putting me on the bill (happy birthday btw), Phil and Sigrid for putting me up, Rory, Ameet and Sarah for their great sets, James, it was good to meet you finally, and the dude I met previously at the Wrong gig in Brighton, sorry I've forgotten your name again.

I'm still playing Mixxx DJ sets at the moment since my move to Ubuntu but it's given me a lot of freedom to match the set to the crowd, so this one was heavy on the gabba and breakcore as that's what people were asking for.

When I'm having a good gig I do like to chat a bit over it and this was the first time I used a Mark E. Smith style rant I'd written after some friends lost their jobs recently. I used it over the final tune and ended it abruptly to see what the reaction was. In the sudden silence that followed me pulling the cables I heard two lone voices from the front of the crowd. One said, "thank fuck for that," the other, "that was intense." I take the second one as a compliment, just, but the first tells me I over did it a bit. Useful feedback.


"Sunday morning in a cafe near Paddington Station. The wobby reflection in the bar was a nice analogy of how I was feeling."

£3 before 11pm. £5 after.
No admission after 3am.

Randomoidz – DJ/Live
Winner of both the Bristol and London 2008 Laptop Battles.
His sets merge many different styles and are likely to raise a smile or two, but there are no gimmicks. Randomoidz is on fire! Wicked music to move your feet to.
(Adverse Camber / Ninja Columbo)

El Kano – DJ
Another AdCam boy, El Kano promises bass ragga and noise. He has devastated many soundsystems throughout the country for several years now with a blinding selection of heavy tracks from death metal to jungle via bhangra and dark techno.
(Adverse Camber)

Gusset – Live
The one man Gusset live experience courtesy of Dan P. He's a fundamental part of the Bristol breakcore collective, co-presenting the Goatlab Radio podcast, promoting shows, producing, playing live and has just started a netlabel. Expect oddness!
(Death$ucker)

Wombcorps – DJ
Sarah has been DJing all over the shop lately. Expect only the finest cuts of Jungle-shank and Hardcore-rump.
(Bad Sekta)

Alan Titmash – DJ/Live
The puerile breakcore influence refuses to fade, but Titmash's DJ sets inject a lot more funk and groove into the proceedings.
(Blunt Force Trauma / Structural Damage)

Shredexx – DJ
Fresh dubstep from the past, present and future (white labels!).
(DehdBeatz)

SVO – DJ
Jacking crowdpleasers.

+ MORE (hopefully!)
