Spot The Murker

Famous Murkage Man

This photo appeared on Red Bull Music Academy’s landing page for the ticket registration for the Major Lazer party at Notting Hill Carnival yesterday.

It’s more than sick that, next to Skerrit Bwoy, a raver in a classic Monday Murkage tee was fully involved at the do pictured.

If you’re reading this famous Murkage man, get in contact. We love Murkers, and we love them more when they represent Murkage to the fullest. You’re even more famous than Murkage Dave – only a bit more though.

Sarah Young + Red Bull = ‘Music Class of 2010′

On August 20, 24 and 25, Sarah Young and Red Bull UK will be teaming up with a string of innovative artists from the music industry to help launch the Music Class of 2010 project.

Music Class of 2010 is a multi-media editorial concept, which includes those musicians and producers who don’t simply top the charts, but create music with artistic integrity.

Twenty-one year old DJ and Stylist Sarah Young and internationally renowned photographer Satoshi Minakawa are the creative team behind the project, the cast list of which is scheduled to include the following: -

Mistajam (BBC Radio One DJ)
Roses Gabor (Artist)
Toddla T (UK producer)
Redlight (UK producer)
Swindle (UK producer)
Jammer (MC)
J2k (MC)
Donaeo (Artist)
Mz Bratt (Female MC)

The editorial will be launched at the Red Bull HQ in London, where in November the artists involved will create an exclusive track in just two hours within the VIP music studios adjacent to the event, which will be streamed live online and into the media event next door via TV screens.

Creative director of the project Sarah Young explains her vision: “As a DJ and Fashion stylist, I deal with music and fashion on a daily basis. The two are inextricably linked – right now the UK music scene is the best it’s ever been and receiving international recognition.

“These artists, dj’s and producers are the people at the forefront of street trends, they are the people who wear what they want, when they want and others follow. As a stylist I am going to take each artists style and multiply that by 10, whilst giving each look a high fashion edge.

“Music is a form of expression, and so is fashion and this project signifies the cultural importance of this fusion.”

Sarah is going to be working with a selection of labels including D&G, Lavin, Vivienne Westwood Man, Armani, Balenciaga, Burberry, Margiela, Marc Jacobs, Matthew Williamson, Nike, and Harrods, as well a selection of ‘New Gen’ designers.

Newham Generals LIVE

This East London duo need no introduction. From last year’s seminal track Hard, featuring Rodigan and Breakage on production to D Double E’s recent Street Fighter Riddim tearing the scene to shreds, Newham Generals have rapidly established their place at the forefront of the grime scene. They’ll be performing a live PA of all their classics sure to tear up the dance.

El-B (Ghost Recordings)

El-B originally made his name as part of the legendary Groove Chronicles outfit, being the first artist to bring a dark edge to the 2 Step scene with tracks like ‘Stone Cold’ and ‘1999’ – a legacy going right back to the golden days of the UK Garage era. Through his own Ghost Records imprint, El-B has sculpted and defined the modern Dubstep sound and famously inspired the prodigious talent of Burial and countless others.

DJ Yasmin (Bad Intentions)

Featured on the front cover of this month’s RWD, hip hop royalty singing her praises, record deal penned and a successful club night under her belt this lady seems unstoppable. Expect an upfront mix of party vibes – Hip Hop, New Jack Swing, Grime and more!

Marco Del Horno (Rinse FM / Bullet Train)

Rinse FM presenter, producer, record label owner and man about town Marco Del Horno. With support from Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, Kissy Sell Out , Andy & Jaymo and Mistajam up at Radio1 he’s hot property right now. Recent remixes and singles on Southern Fried Records bring through his house roots with a contemporary spin that can only be described as somewhere half way between Chicago and Croydon.

DJ Cable (Hotoneten)

2x DMC Champ, Alizé Remixed Champ, Grolsch x Vice Magazine Mix Champ, DOA x UAF Mix Champ, Cable’s string of awards speak for themselves. A regular at Tim And Barry’s Just Jam, Cable’s built a solid following in the scene for his ability to smash raves up and down the UK and further afield combining grime, 2 step, bass, dirty hip hop and pioneering the emerging sound of Thugstep.

Last Japan (Bullet Train)

Hailing from South London, Last Japan has exploded on to the dance scene. The last 12 months have seen the 20 year old grow from knocking up bootlegs in his bedroom to one of the hottest and most in demand remixers on the scene including his well known Sub Bass Mix of Douster’s King Of Africa.

Save Torriano!! SAT 7th Aug

Hi there, due to the success of last weeks charity event where we raised money on behalf of Cancer Research UK, we are hosting yet another charity gig this weekend! We spent merely a couple of hours busking in Spitalfields market last week (legitimately) and our little red bucket reached £135 worth of donations!
We doubled it and donated £270 in total! So major thanks to anyone who came down or passed through and  helped fill the bucket!!

This week tho…. the charity comes a little closer to home….

Our local pub!!!
THE TORRIANO!!

We’re hosting an evening/night and all are welcome to both ‘play and party’
Confirmed acts include TheWinterKicks, TheTorriano’s, Alan Wass, ColourOfSound and a few other individuals and a possible appearance from Pete Doherty!

So if you just fancy helping save an ever dying British culture come along for a few drinks and good times! :)
There will be a BBQ outside, music upstairs, live music downstairs and donation buckets all around!

Torriano2

Suzie the Landlady is only part lease owner and the council are trying to buy everyone out! If they succeed it will become dingy little flats and yet another quality local London pub will bite the dust! So Suzie is trying to raise money to buy out the others and keep the pub alive

Torriano is popular with celebs and locals alike. Great staff, great cocktail pitchers, beers, crepes, BBQ’s, friendly atmosphere, its a winner! It has yet to be ruined by wannabe trendies & celeb chasers (like the Hawley Arms has)

Noel Fielding, Russell Brand, Simon Amstell + many more use it as a warm up venue, Pete Doherty and his droogs, often frequent the venue and last week, Razorlight (minus Johnny) were having a drink and a crepe, ex Happy Mondays Kav is always around and its one of the few bars left in London with regulars that aren’t bearded old guys with dogs on string leads!

The Torrianos will be playing as they are obviously the resident band made up of the Landlay and the bar staff but most important of all….

……….we live next door!!!!!
Hence, we are passionate about keeping our local going!

So if you fancy it come on over this Sat from 4pm ‘ish’ until closing!!!
Big Cheers!
