Well I’m sure you’d all agree that it’s been a pretty wretched summer for British Sport? A wonky World Cup, a wish-washy Wimbledon and some considerably corrupt cricket… honestly, the only success was that bloke off the telly who swam the English Channel (and he’s not even a sportsman… he’s a laydee!!). Anyway, Together is back to lift the sporting gloom here in London town. Having taken a well-earned summer break, the Together crew regroup this month to bring YOU the “Sports Casualties Party” – loosely based around our love for all things sporty. With fitness levels rising, we ask YOU to get into the spirit of things by donning your favourite pumps, sweatbands, head wear, tennis shorts, old skool footy shirts, rugby socks, boxing gloves, cricket bats and speedo’s… and head over to Turnmills for a rather splendid Sports-themed Bonanza on Saturday 30th September.
Dress Code: Retro Sportwear
** Prizes will be Awarded to the Best Dressed Sports Men & Women **
On a DJ tip, the 1st Quarter / main room (see what we did there?!) will be eclectic to the extreme as we welcome UK hip hop guru Roots Manuva and Mr Jedi Knight Tom Middleton to the decks. Roots Manuva hit the big time in 1998, when his debut LP “Brand New Second Hand”, landed him a MOBO Award for Best Hip Hop Act and secured his place in history. He followed that up in 2001 with a Mercury Music Prize nomination for “Run Come Save Me”, which spawned the all-time classic “Witness” (voted the greatest UK hip hop tune of all time by the readers of Hip Hop Connection). Making a rare appearance at Turnmills, Roots Manuva will encompass all things dub, raga, funk and hip hop, backed up by MC Ricky Ranking on the mic. Tom Middleton is another pioneering DJ/Producer. With more aliases than Howard Marks, Tom has produced a plethora of singles/albums/compilations under guises like Cosmos, Jedi Knights, Amba, Spiritcatcher and more. He’s also one half the Cosmic Twins with Fred Deakin (Lemon Jelly) and Tom ‘used the force’ to mix that legendary ‘Star Wars’ Essential Mix for Radio 1 a while back. Tom is the perfect choice for this month’s musical approach and will join all the dots accordingly before handing the reigns over to Together resident rocker and purveyor of all things acid and house… Justin Robertson, that cool dude in the hat!! Completing this month’s epic sporting affair will be Black Grass, those catz from Catskills Records on the south coast. Since Carl’s exit, Mex is now flying solo and the bona fide vinyl junkie has just followed up the cult self-titled album with new longplayer “100 Days in One”. Watch this space…
Next on the team sheet is London’s Tirk Records who’ll be your hosts in the intimate T2 (2nd Quarter) space for a one-off label showcase. Mish-mashing between styles and sounds, Tirk will be representing their label to the fullest with a rare UK DJ Set from leading band The Bees (fresh from a headline slot at Bestival) and a proper underground workout from the majestic Maurice Fulton. Tirk also unleash their secret weapon in Fujiya & Miyagi – Together’s favourite new band who’ll play an exclusive live set. Described by the media as somewhere between Kraftwerk and Talking Heads, Fujiya & Miyagi produce sublime kraut rock influenced pop that will make you wanna dance. Fans include Tiga, Andrew Weatherall and Trevor Jackson and their new album ‘Transparent Things’ is one of the freshest sounding albums which heard for donkeys. The Tirk Residents fill in the gaps between the above.
The 3rd Quarter (the Live Lounge) sees the return of X-FM’s John Kennedy to host his bi-monthly Midnight Ramble and as ever he’s pulled out all the stops. Having already brought you some of the most exciting bands of 2006; namely - Lethal Bizzle, WhoMadeWho, Shit Disco, Metronomy and The Presets at previous events, John’s pulled another dancefloor gem out of his box – in the shape of Goose – one of this year’s most hotly-tipped new acts. Signed to Skint Records, Goose have been making a lot of noise of late, most notably with ‘British Mode’ – the stand up track from their new album 'This Ain't No Heart Attack'. The Belgium/UK band have also been globe hopping with 2ManyDJ’s and they’ve just scored the theme to Heineken's new Champions League campaign – which is rather apt for this month’s Sporting Spectacular!! Output Records artist George Demure joins the ‘live’ ranks this month, plus look out for DJ sets from man about town Jeff Automatic, scenester Kissy SellOut and of course John himself.
At Half Time, head upstairs to Topfloor for The Sports Club Society. From the people that you brought you the Village Fete, Andy & Ed’s Legendary Swap Shop and the retro computer inspired Pass The Joypad in recent months, for September they bring YOU Subbuteo, Retro Football Shirts, Kevin Keegan Haircuts, Table Skittles, Sports Themed Fancy Dress, Half Time Substitutions, a Running Commentary, Action Replays, Random Drug Testing & Urine Samples...!!! DJing as they go will be The Scarlet Pimp, Mannequin Doll, 10:4 Rubber Duckie & Electric Cars on Mars. Oh, and before the final whistle blows, make sure you visit our laughing gas pals Fishseeksbicycle in the Extra Time room, as they return for more mischief and mayhem in the Cinema Lounge. They think it’s all over… mate, it ain’t even begun!
