jackurbody Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 ACT LIKE YA KNOW. SATURDAY 19TH DECEMBER ASHLEY BEEDLE (X-PRESS 2/BLACK SCIENCE ORCHESTRA) DESI ROCCA DAVE HARDY @ SAWA 25-29 Arundel Gate Sheffield 10pm -3am + £6- on the door Big thanks to all who came down to our opening party with Matthew Bandy. Our next installment of ACT LIKE YA KNOW. takes place on Saturday19th December @ SAWA with a very special guest that we're all really excited about at ALYK HQ. Our quest to bring you the finest soulful/deep/tech house music continues with resident DJs and international guests in the intimate surroundings of SAWA. ASHLEY BEEDLE (X-PRESS 2/BLACK SCIENCE ORCHESTRA) DESI ROCCA DAVID HARDY There aren’t many producer / DJs around who can claim to have had as much influence on the UK’s dance music scene as Ashley Beedle. Ashley has always been the loving pulse of the London music scene – he brought house music to Notting Hill Carnival and produced one of the first British garage tunes. His initial production as Black Science Orchestra on Junior Boys Own took his music worldwide. X-Press 2’s massive hit, ‘Lazy’, an inspired collaboration with former Talking Head David Byrne, and other number one hits has meant X-Press 2’s albums have traveled the globe. Ashley’s remixes have ranged from pop and rock bands, little house labels; hip hop mixes, house mixes, as a solo remixes and as part of X-Press 2. There really are too many to mention, though Elton John’s number one hit ‘Are You Ready for Love?’ and Bob Marley’s ‘Get Up Stand Up’ spring to mind. But then don’t forget his moments with The Streets ‘Weak Become Heroes’ and Bent’s ‘Always’. Other projects worthy of mention include: Delta House Of Funk, Disco Evangelists with protégé David Holmes (Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13 Hollywood score master), Roots Revolution on Roger Sanchez’ label, the demon dub-house of Jamayka Boys (championed by many as the first Dub Step production), Black Jazz Chronicles, the London Heavy Disco Revue, Afro Art, and, of course, the Ballistic Brothers. Ashley’s ability to always stay ahead of the pack continues with his futuristic reggae inspired Warbox project (which has included chart smashing remixes for the likes of Lilly Allen), a rock techno inspired project with the Filthy Dukes’ Mark Ralph, called Ralph und Beedle, a blue eyed soul project called Mavis which is to be released on !K7 in Feb 2010 (featuring Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner, Cerys Matthews, Ed Harcourt plus many more) and his new moniker, Space Programme. Ashley has also joined forces with the legendary Cosmo ‘Colleen’ Murphy’ as Dark Star – with events, remixes and an album all in the pipeline – and of course, more disco output from on his label, Out Hear Audio, which is boasting an exciting release schedule with the first Out Hear Audio and Dark Star compilations due out Jan/Feb 2010. Our resident DJs Desi Rocca & David Hardy will be playing the finest in soulful, deep and tech house, as well as a few classics thrown in. It is christmas after all ACT LIKE YA KNOW.

discodown Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'm so so annoyed my OH is off to see Russell Howard at the arena on the same night so i can't go out. Superb booking I hope the place is packed to the rafters. Sawa is also a decent venue, was in there last week and really liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff442 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hey guys, for anyone who missed Ashley at sawa he's performing at his album launch night on Feb 18th at The Luminaire in London! New project's called Mavis and the album's out on the 8th Feb, it's absolutely genius! Got some of the world's best vocalists collaborating on it too - http://www.mavis-thealbum.com/ Heard a few of them are taking to the stage with Ashley at the launch party, definately one you can't miss this time around! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=265095240379&index=1 Think your OH can stay in this time and let you take a cheeky trip down to Landan Town for one of the best nights of music of the year?!
