Hello all

Firstly thanks to everyone who came down last month, twas a great wee gig and the place was jumping to old skool jungle til the wee early hours.

We’ve got our second credit crunching, barrack busting dance off on Saturday the 6th June. Tuneage on the night will come from Homespun and Rudimentary resident Chuck bringing some of his latin & broken beat flava to the Apache rig, and we’re glad to have Belfast turntablist & producer John King back again this month to bring some serious deck skills to the table. Finishing of the night will be Apache residents Jayuu and Jim Morton dropping some soulful dnb rollers til late in the night.

The paltry fee of a 5er will get you entrance and as per usual it’s a bring your own event. Things will be kicking of around 9.30pm at Blick Studios, 51 Malone Road
(across the road from the Church)

Hope to see you all there!

Just letting you know that our first feature film is premiering at the Belfast Film Festival this week..

DITCHING
Friday 27 March 7PM
MOVIE HOUSE, DUBLIN ROAD
£6 / £5.50



Northern Ireland, the future: in a post apocalyptic landscape of decaying towns and primitive technology, two people set out on a journey. Ulster has become a depopulated, feudal and dangerous wilderness where people have forgotten the past and are confused about the ruins that surround them. They distract themselves with improvised ceremonies and games but feel threatened by a world they do not understand. What will await the travellers at the end of their journey?

Ditching is the first feature by Factotum, better known as the publishers of irreverent newspaper The Vacuum. It stars a host of local talent including Mary Lindsay, Lalor Roddy (Hunger) and Jonathan Harden with astonishing locations and set design by Paddy Bloomer and Nicholas Keogh. It also features an original soundtrack by a host of local musicians including David Holmes, Kinnego Flux, Deadman, BEW and RL/VL. See the future Northern Ireland as it has never been seen before.

Hi Ben,

A couple of new tracks on the player...

'Amygdala' - composed for the 'Ditching' film soundtrack using a vintage reed organ, ukelele & percussion.

'Al Gore Rhythms' - pun-tastic electronic spacerock.
