Incoming party

The Horatia welcomes Hot Blood

Friday 19th Feb
8-2am free entry
The Horatia , 98-102 Holloway Rd N7
www.thehoratia.co.uk

The Horatia, is the latest effort of the team behind Shoreditch’s highly successful music venue, The Horse & Groom. Their latest venture is a beautiful 400 capacity traditional London boozer with a bumper 2am licence for plenty of evening decadence and debauchery. The sound system has been sourced from the old Cross venue as they intend to host some fantastic guests along the way in February with an array of free nights hosting guests like Disco Bloodbath’s Damon Martin and James Priestley (Secretsundaze/Go!Zilla) who will be joining us alongside new exciting residencies from TIRK records, Steve Proctor’s Acidiscothec, The Discovery boys and Claremont amongst many others.

Tonight sees the inaugural night of the Hot Blood aka The Lovebox Allstars playing disco, house, funk and throwing in some hip-hop breaks for good measure.

FACEBOOK EVENT HERE

T Bar - 18-22 Houndsditch, London, EC3A 7LP  http://www.tbarlondon.com

Bang The Box is Lovebox’s occasional and itinerant heavy-duty underground dance party. Having held one-off parties since 2002 in The Ministry, Bagleys, 93 Ft East and other quirky venues around town they’re getting set to Bang The Box once more; this time in the bowels of the T-Bar.

This is the first in a series of an ongoing monthly residency with future appearances scheduled from Groove Armada and a host of the Lovebox weekender DJ guests AND ENTRY IS FREE OF CHARGE

The line-up represents some hot new blood as well as leading exponents in their fields; starting with multi-talented production duo Zombie Disco Squad who take House in a new direction with influences from Baile Funk, African rhythms, Baltimore, Hip-Hop, the so-called fidget sound and making it sound fresh and with no cheesy gimmicks.

Next up Faze Action; pioneers of the new-disco sound since the mid 90’s and still top of their game as demonstrated with their latest album, ‘Stratus Energy’, widely hailed as one of the most exciting records of 2009.

The Techno angle is well covered with Inxec, whose tracks released on Cocoon get hammered by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, and Luciano; meaning he probably needs no further intro….

Pitching the curve balls will be major all round talent, Sony Radio Award winner, and one of London’s most well known faces on the music scene Mr Ross Allen who’s distinguished himself in many fields from DJing to radio presentation, A&R to label management and beyond.

With a similarly eclectic approach to programming come Hot Blood duo Fillary & Butterfield, who having co-founded Lovebox in 2002 have regularly been playing as the Lovebox All-Stars, flying the flag for the festival’s underground dance roots.

Finishing up the line-up in fine style with his groove laden energetic mix of techno and house is Jaded resident Mouj, alongside the upcoming Matt Synthia who represents the next generation of DJs familiar with their history and comfortable with crossing genres to devastating dance-floor effect.

Whatever religious or musical persuasion we’ll be jacking for Jesus at this free party on Easter Day.
