For the very first Community session on Saturday 14th August, we’ve invited Danny Clark & Toby Tobias from Late Night Audio and The Cosmic Truth boys, Nicholas Balfe and Dickie Chaytor, to party all night long in a special preview of whats to come here at Plan Brixton in September.
LNA has gone from strength to strength following their hot parties and a number of prominent releases – check out the latest EP from Toby (the Macasu EP) which includes a remix on the flip from Motor City Drum Ensemble.
Saturdays will, from September, be a gathering for innovative plus retrospective forms of house, techno, disco and other electronics …
Danny & Toby lived in Brixton for many years before heading East.
The good times continue for Jamie Jones with his latest remix on London based label Murmur doing the rounds this summer.
Add to that a residency alongside techno’s other golden boy Seth Troxler at Circoloco this year and a global tour calender and you’ve got a lot to be jealous of.
Take a listen to the release here and catch Jamie at Community on Saturday 6th November at Plan B.
Legendary DJ / producer Harvey is due to make a long overdue return to the UK after finally resolving his long standing visa issues, which have forced him to remain in the US for a number of years.
His absence has only made his reputation and cult like status grow stronger.
As well as being one of the first people in the UK to book the likes of Larry Levan, he is probably best known for his epic nine hour sets, which cover everything from disco and house, to rock and punk.
He is currently touring in Europe with a UK tour planned for 2011.
Harvey is originally from Cambridge, but spent most of his formative years living in and around Brixton.
‘Splazsh’ is the highly anticipated long player from Brixton based electronica producer and Werk Discs boss Actress.

Actress played at Plan B as part of the Feeding Werk night (a collaboration between Werk Discs and East London’s Feeding Time) a few months back, with support from A Guy Called Gerald, Lone and Lukid.

Dissident Records boss Andy Blake has put together a mix for one of our favourite sources of electronic music news – FACT Magazine.
Andy is better known around these parts for the warehouse rave he runs with Joe Hart – World Unknown, which he describes as being “dedicated to the noble art of throbbing electronic music for dancing”.
