BIG CHILL BAR :: IKE :: 04/10/06
Isaac Tucker aka Ike first made a name for himself back home as part of the group, New Loungehead, then went on to make drum’n’bass as Cuba & Gizmo, before settling down into his current role as drummer for cult punk-funk/electro band Spektrum, whose “Kinda New” was the dancefloor hit of 2005. Their new album is due out early November and Isaac will be spinning some sneaky preview tunes.
From: 7pm til 12am
On: Dray Walk, just off Brick Lane, London E1 6QL

BIG CHILL BAR :: FUNKNSLOCUTS :: 01/11/06
Better known as the smooth headed keyboard operator out of ‘Minuit’, FunknSloCuts is Ryan Behre’s production and DJ alter ego. For several years now he has been beavering away, laying down big beats and fat synth bass lines, often sacrificing his relationship with his neighbours due to noise complaints! Recent treats to come out of his studio include his sterling remix of Pitch Black’s “Freefall” and Minuit’s own “Fuji”. He has also been playing shows throughout NZ, often in the wind up or wind down slots at Minuit gigs, wowing audiences till breakfast time with the freshest and classiest prime breakbeat cuts.

THE RHYTHM FACTORY :: MINUIT :: 02/11/06
Electro-breaks trio Minuit have forged a singular path through New Zealand’s dance music scene, at odds with its obsession with reggae, dub and hip hop. Their angular breakbeats and Ruth Carr’s vocal style seemingly owe more to urban metropolises like London, so it is only fitting that they are finally making their way over here to play a few shows and help promote the 12’’ release of “Fuji”, taken from their last album, “The Guards Themselves”.
You can check them out at www.myspace.com/minuittheband and their latest video is up at www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U7KDsPjRNs. Supporting them on the night will be DJs Tim Squier, FunknSloCuts and Finland’s DJ Infekto vs Rico Tubbs.
Tickets: £7 in advance from Ticketweb (08700 600 100)(http://tinyurl.com/hgsf3) or £10 on the door
From 9pm til 3am
On: 16-18 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1EW
