Last Saturday Hands Up (We’re Not Cool! & Per QX) took to trip across the river to play a few tunes at Ministry Of Sound for Joe and Will Asks Vikings 103 Party.
Special guest this month was none other than Boy 8-Bit, while in the BOX Funkagenda was joined by the mighty Bassment Jaxx.
Here’s a few pic’s from the night:
Massive BIG UP’s to Braiden, Jam Hot and everyone who partied with us last Friday.
So much fun on the floor.

Jay Shepheard launched the Retrofit imprint back in late Feb 2010 - five releases later on March the fourth this year we'll celebrate its first birthday in partnership with hot London parties Do It! and Scandal at East London's Dalston Superstore.
In the basement alongside Jay Shepheard (playing a one-off oldschool acid house vinyl set) will be Retrofit regular Matthew Burton as well as Do It! and Scandal residents We're Not Cool and Greg Brockmann. Upstairs in the bar disco veteran Simon Lee from the legendary Faze Action will be joined by Trailer Trash's Ian Robinson, Namedrop from DJ History and Retrofit promo queen and all round party girl Marysia.
Since the launch Retrofit has gone from strength to strength with reviews and features appearing on Resident Advisor, Dazed Digital, De:Bug, Juno Plus, DJ Mag, Pulse Radio and DJ History....and was recently picked as label to watch in 2011 on Beatportal.
As well as the press top Djs have also been in on the action, the first 5 releases heavily supported by the likes of Seth Troxler, Prins Thomas, Ooft, The Revenge, Trevor Jackson, Tornado Wallace, Catz N Dogz, Ben Watt, Pete Herbert, Jacques Renault, Social Disco Club and a ton of others....
Expect a blend of the finest in modern and classic electronic music across the board and party vibe to match, see you there!

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:
