Comments(0) Saw this at Kew Cricket Club, absolutely classic!
Check out his track, Buff Nuff below, it has a sick beat and hefty portion of bass, as you’d expect from Stockwell’s finest. Look out for him at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival at the end of this month.

Shoreditch hasn’t always been packed full of languishing artistes, whining musicians and general “cooler than thou” fuck tools. Some of it’s famous former residents include Jeremy Beadle (RIP), Barbara Windsor (watch the infamous Carry on Camping scene here) and none other than William Shakespeare. In fact, if the Bard was still around today he’d pretty much be the next door neighbour of the Irregulars and we would no doubt be big buddies, pulling all nighters dancing to victorian electro mash ups.
As a hat-tip to the ruff-sporting maestro, a number of performance are planned at the Old Blue Last this month. Drop by on either 2,9, 16, 23 or 30 August to be immersed in some wordsmithery which will far surpass the usual sub-normal lyrics that spew out the mouths of the bands who normally take to the stage at this venue. Check out some tickets here. If you fancy a quick read of some of his handiwork, the complete works can be found here.
No doubt the fashionistas of Shoreditch will shortly be sporting this tasty little number…

Spotted down in the Shad Thames area (south side of tower bridge). No idea who the artist is, but I like it.

Comments(0) For those lucky, lucky people who can party on a Sunday night, check out Wet Yourself! at Club Aquarium pretty much every Sunday night. Before you make a clever quip in your head about going for a dip in the aquarium, I can confirm it does have a pool as well as some dirty ditch beats. If you don’t believe, check out the photos on We Know What You Did Last Night.com (awesome site for scenester and fashionista spotting) right here.
To recant some epic scenester fail we heard on the way to Today is Boring last night, we overheard this statement:
Failing Scenester dude: Yeah I know how the Sunday night vibe goes down, Secret Sundaze, Brick Lane (languishing scenester looks over the road to Herbal) and er, Herbal.
Us: Fail. Although two outta three ain’t bad.
As regular readers will know, we’re fans of the occasional blip and beep and fellow Shoreditch residents will know that if you can’t deal with a bit of minimal house, fidget, techno and the like then you might as well stay in and watch Britain’s Got Talent.
Last year you may remember it was electro of a Parisian flavour via Sebastian, Kavinsky (and most things coming out of Kitsune come to think of it) that had us bouncing around like bunnies but since they denied us a response on Myspace, they are officially dead to us.
Now, there seems to be lots of hype swelling around the WYS vibe, and along those lines, we tip our hat to Peter Pixzel , who is often in situ behind the 1s and 2s, churning out tasty strands of ocassionally 8-bit infused tracks for party robots and night time ghouls at the Wet Yourself! sessions. To see him in action, check this Youtube video or conversely, you could get your lazy asses to Field Day to see him in the flesh alongside the glitterati that is the painfully cool line-up for the East End festival.
Check out the track below and remember to take your speedos if you do rock up at Aquarium to catch his shit.
Comments(0) Well, despite the sterling work of the people at the Bowl Court squat, vocal support from some lass called Tracey Emin and the ‘Save the Light’ campaign it appears that Hackney Council have given their support to the uber-scheme planned to “regenerate” the Bishopsgate Yard area of Shoreditch. Full details of what’s planned can be found here. Having read the document and taking into consideration the other developments that are planned (300 odd flats on Bethnal Green Road, Norton Folgate mixed-development scheme and Hearn Street/Plough Yard development), it’s clear that we live in unique times currently in Shoreditch. The whole aesthetic and vibe of the area will be completely replaced with something more akin to the nearer city fringe around Broadgate, Devonshire Square and the like.
Check out this image of the proposed sky line, quite scary me thinks! Can’t help but think going into a recession building loads of speculative office and residential units isn’t the brightest idea man has ever had. I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up getting mothballed for a couple of years (say completion 2012) although will they try and throw it together in time for the Olympics? If so, expect a bodged effort.
