An edited version of Blockhead was featured on the latest Kitsune Maison 10 compilation but it is now being released in it’s full length glory along with remixes by Zombie Nation, Hey Today!, In Flagranti, Stopmakingme & SymbolOne.

The track has already been played to death by 2ManyDJ’s (who used it as a staple track in their Under The Covers tour, in full effect with the trade mark 2ManyDJ’s animations in background), Zombie Nation, Mixhell, Kissy Sellout (BBC Radio 1), Andy George (BBC Radio 1) and of course Push Music (who had the pleasure of spinning alongside PJU at 93′s Flushed)

Following on from April’s utterly immense FLUSHED, Push Music return to 93 Feet East this May alongside the biggest and best line up yet. As ever entry is FREE ALL NIGHT. This one’s going to be huge so make sure you come down early [food and drink in 93’s (hopefully) sunny courtyard from 5]

LIVE:

ALI LOVE You may well have heard the name Ali Love before, either as the singer on the CHEMICAL BROTHERS’ smash Do It Again, or on his own earlier solo singles. But even if somehow you haven’t come across him already, one thing is certain: from here on in, there’ll be no escaping Ali Love.

DEATH METAL DISCO SCENE DMDS have gained a solid reputation as remix extraordinaires , having re jigged the likes of GORILLAZ, BAT FOR LASHES, LILLY ALLEN, KYLIE and more. We’re very excited to have them bring their awesome brand of disco punk to 93’s famous live stage.

LUXURY LIVING These guys have been all over the blogosphere recently, with good reason. Proper dance floor friendly electro pop perfectly suited to FLUSHED’s Friday night party ethos.

TRAVEL AGENCY Eman de Guermantes, baron de Charlus, and Jin Fuzz, duc d’Elchingen and prince de la Moskowa, met in 2008 and found a common interest for electro music. After a few months, they were looking for some hot girls for a video. They met Candy Bonbon, and felt in love. Travel Agency was born.

The DJ’s:

BLACK MASA Black Masa now need no introduction – we are happy to announce they have just been promoted to FLUSHED residents. Fantastic electro and dubstep mashups of party anthems.

PUSH MUSIC  As residents at Flushed since its humble beginnings, The Guys at 93 have Push Music labeled  as ‘Awesome DJs with an ear for a quick cut’  Nice.

SUPERCOOL DJS *too cool for myspace* Vlad and Phil, aka SUPERCOOL, provide the perfect warm up to the inevitable chaos that FLUSHED becomes.

SEVEN SHADES OF SH*T SSS plays music that SHOUTS, STOPS & STARTS. Dance tracks that KICK IN THE EARS. DEADERS & HANGERS ON, STILTON STOMPERS, MEMORIES, MASH UPS and NORTHERN ELECTRO COUNTRY SOUL . One hell of a disco stew.

Push Music swung by EC2 for an impromptu gig at the Queen Of Hoxton on the 14/01/10. I won’t lie it wasn’t the busiest night ever (Early Jan, Thursday, my dog ate my homework type excuses) but hats off to all that came down for a drink and dance (Personal highlight being the special brew butt crack security at the bagel shop)

We’re in the process of finalising Push Music dates for 2010 and the artwork for our next gig is back from Adam Doyle so loads to look out for over the next week or so. Keep those peepers peeled!

The snow’s getting boring now, so all inside for a last minute Push Music Indie Disco as we return to the Queen of Hoxton for impromptu Thursday night session.

Relax. Drink. Dance; Up to you.

Known for rocking a crowd with our unique hybrid DJ sets. Expect a unique mixture of house, electro and re-edited material from the world of soul/funk, indie and alternative. No one said the dance floor had to groove to just one genre did they?

If you don’t know and you should by the way…

The Queen of Hoxton

Bar, club and art collective, the Queen of Hoxton holds court in the heart of the East End, entertaining her neighbours with a tight programme of music accompanied by a rolling gallery of art installations, photographic exhibitions, fringe theatre and screenings. The ground floor is an intricate blend of window etchings, graffiti, ivy and a landscape of benches and screens . While the games room takes in table-football, vintage pinball and a unique Brighton pier 1960′s gaming rarity. A youth club for the adults of the east side.

So that’s it. The noughties and 09’ are over.  Dubstep hit daytime airwaves, Diplo and Switch swapped Camden for Kingston and certain arms of the music press hailed the disco revival (Although Todd Tejre, Greg Wilson and any DJ worth their pay check have been playing and re-editing disco since erm…disco)

It’s been a steep learning curve for all involved in Push Music and we wouldn’t have had it any other way.  In 12 months we’ve played at over 15 different venues playing tracks that made you dance and scratch your head in equal measure. Thanks to friends, friends of friends, podcast listeners and klub kids that have made it through the doors into a Push Music party. As a heartfelt thank you we’ll keep dropping 60 minutes podcasts throughout 2010. Please keep the feedback coming, it’s good that people appreciate something different.

Back to the music. 2009 became the year the dance borderlines where crossed. House DJ’s played Dubstep (Skream’s stripped down amen loving re-fix of in for the Kill dominating sets)  Drum and Bass had a definitive year in the overground and underground with stand out albums for Sub Focus, Alex Perez and Danny Byrd.

Fidget became a dirty word as UK Funky took over London’s urban scene with a few stand out tracks but ultimately becoming a grooveless sub hybrid of UK garage. On the subject of UKG, Joy Orbison took major influence from the atmospheric dubbier tracks of the 90’s (think Zed Bias & Groove Chronicles) and injected some soul into the dubstep sound with ‘Hyph Mngo’,  Orbison’s eerie stomper sitting high as the tune of the year for most critics.  After inventing the genre the Yanks tried as hard as they could to destroy house (With the help of the French) let’s get this straight, charts or no charts, there’s no need to put Akon or the Black Eyed Peas on house records. Guetta, Larry Levan is turning in his grave.

Stand out tracks for myself this year have been Major Lazor’s ‘Pon the Floor’ for the WTF! screwface expressions at dancehall nonsense at house speed, Fake Blood’s ‘I think I like it’ for the sheer cut and paste funk and string section and Grum’s 80’s electronic winner ‘Heatbeats’.

The Push Music best of 09 is currently on a crashed hard drive (Merry f*cking Chrimbo Dell) but once it’s recovered it will be up to kick off 2010 in style.

Happy New Year.
