Do It! presents: Braiden (Rinse FM) Friday 4th Feb @ Dalson Superstore




After our Epic 1st party for 2011 with the amazing Stopmakingme we continue to provide you with the most up front and forward thinking music we can get our hands on.

On Friday 4th February we welcome one of London’s freshest new talents down to the Dalston Superstore, the mighty Braiden.

Constantly mutating and branching out, Braiden is at the pinnacle of the bass music coming out of London.
As one of its most able DJs, he employs an amalgam of sophisticated techniques and a selective imagination which takes in everything from sumptuous House to the most developed dubstep, stopping by future garage, UK funky, juke and unpredictable techno on the way.

Braiden rose to prominence as a DJ and photographer of the highest calibre, holding down a Rinse FM slot and regularly uploading dizzyingly good three-deck mixes that connect the dots between classic Chicago House, Eglo Records boogie and London 'nuum music.
A fateful term at the Red Bull Music Academy in 2010 has equipped the man with the necessary tools to pull those myriad influences together, and the results speak for themselves.

An exhibitionist described by FACT Magazine as “absurdly talented”, Braiden lives up to the hype with a mixing style that thrives on the element of surprise – he has been known to crawl Berlin’s clubs in search of undiscovered glitch- or disco-infused music from alternate universes. Look to Braiden for a technicolour vision of the future of London music.

We’ve also invited back to the Do It! Turntables one of our favorite up and coming DJ / Producers: Jam Hot
His warm up set in November impressed us so much we had to get him back for another dose of futuristic Bass.

As ever our residents We’re Not Cool! & Not Shy will be on a mission to keep you dancing way passed the witching hour.

The upstairs bar is hosted by:

PS… Lick My Bass feat. Liz Bisoux & Cathal

Entry is free B4 10pm £5 after

See you on the dance floor.

Do It! presents: Stopmakingme Friday 7th Jan @ Dalson Superstore



That’s right Party people we’re Back!!

After a month of festive mischief we kick-start our new monthly residency at the

Dalston Superstore Jan 7th.

In 2011 we’ll be upping the Madness and providing you with a whole host of Killer DJ’s and producers you wouldn’t normally expect to see gracing the Decks out or favorite East London Hotspot.

For the 1st party of the year we’re really excited to welcome rising star Stopmakingme down to the rave-bassment.

Stopmakingme is well known for his residency at London institution Fabric as well as regular appearances at nights such as Bugged Out and Durrr. Now his star is set to rise further as Erol Alkan has hand picked him to be the resident DJ for his Phantasy Sound label, hosting their radio show and helming their new club night.

Dan’s love for Trash, Optimo, Soulwax and older references like The Paradise Garage all come through in his DJ sets where electro and techno sit alongside updated post-punk, huge disco, mutant new wave and perfect pop choruses whilst no momentum - or any dancefloor - is lost.

He also co-runs the hugely successful Kill Em All club night with the Filthy Dukes, championing new music made by live bands as much as electronic artists. It’s a place where “an amazingly exciting new live act could blow the mind of a techno kid whilst an indie band in the corner think of how quickly they could sell their guitars and buy samplers when dancing to Boy 8-Bit.” In the odd spare moment, Dan also writes a regular feature for Dummy Magazine where he interviews others within his scene (as well as a few heroes.)

As ever residents We’re Not Cool & Not shy will be providing you with the most upfront music they can get their hands on..

The upstairs bar is hosted by:

PS… Lick My Bass feat. Liz Bisoux & Cathal

Entry is free all night long.

See U at the Rave

Unit 9: War of the monsters part II


Check out this killer new mix from Unit 9.

You can catch the guys smashing up the Rave-Bassment at Do It on Nov 19th.

Enjoy:

War of the monsters part II by UNIT 9

Do It! presents: Unit 9, Jam Hot, Jo & Becks, La-La Leanne, Cash N Hand Friday 19th Nov @ The Dalston Superstore



Doin it and doin it and doin it well (LL Cool J)

That’s right party people we’re back.

After our killer party with Idiotproof in September we’re once again on a mission to cause more madness on the dance floor.

Like a baby on a hunt for milk, we’ll be crawling back through the Superstores front door and rolling out the fire exit after another mental night of boozed-fluid-bass-sillyness. (Try saying that after a few shots)

This time your faithful Bass dealers We’re Not Cool! and Not Shy will be joined in the Rave-Bassment by Unit 9 and Hot Jam

------------------------------------------

Unit 9:

Unit 9 are a London based DJ and production outfit made up of:

Sam Barlow and Jon Bell.

After seeing them smash the hell out of the Kane FM tent at this years Wave Form Festival we know we had to get this guys down to the

Rave-Basment.

Their music is so filthy that you may find yourself later at Home trying to bleach yourself clean while re-thinking your whole instances on this planet.

We cannot be responsible for any wired behavior that may take place once you’ve left the party…

You’ve been warned.

------------------------------------------

Jam Hot:

We posted a mix on our Blog a few months back from this young Don.

2010 has seen him smash up Ministry of Sound at Richie Hawtin MINUS party and play at number of underground party’s both in London and Amsterdam.

We have a feeling a major label is gonna be tapping him up for his studio wizardry very soon.

------------------------------------------

If this wasn’t enough we’re going Girl Crazy in upstairs Bar.

Yeah that’s right no lads are aloud anywhere near the decks as we welcome an All-Girl line up to Do It’s party room:

Jo & Becks (Twat Boutique / Booby Hatch)

La-La Leanne

Cash N Hand (Berlin / Finland)

------------------------------------------

Remember we kick off the party at 8pm and it’s free all night long.

See you on the dance Floor.

BIG LOVE

The Do It Family
