We come together with our favourite super information highway music blog Cosmic Disco for another ‘Thank-You’ to all those who have shown us ever growing support over the last 6 months with another FREE PARTY!

After our now legendary joint party with Cosmic Disco featuring Mark Seven back in December 2008, we’ve decided to a bring a DJ who we feel has the minerals to live up to the occasion.

Felix Dickinson has been DJing and producing music for over 17 years, though because of his many monikers people often believe they’re not familiar with his sound. Yet upon closer inspection, most discerning DJs, realise they’ve got at least one of his tracks in their box.

At 20, Felix organized a four-day free festival in Sussex. Collaborating with the D.I.Y. sound system from Nottingham, and calling on DJs from the Tonka crew. The Police roadblocks and helicopters couldn’t stop the party, as it was pre-Criminal Justice Act, and 4,000 people danced all weekend.

In 1992 Felix moved to Brighton where he got together with a number of close friends to form the monthly Slack nights, which although being held on Monday nights would regularly attract party goers from up and down the country, and would always be followed by an after party down on the beach or some local warehouse.

When Slack finally split it allowed Felix to change direction, and to set up the Ugly Music record label with friend and local record shop owner Tony Lee. The label released music from K-Alexi, Underground Evolution, D.J. Harvey and Jaime Read, among others. It was at this time that Felix began his D.J. residency at the Joint nightclub with Jaime Read (L.H.A.S) and Bobby Coulman (Soft Rocks) where he played every month from ’95 to 2000.

Since his move to London from the South Coast in 2000, Felix has been producing records under a string of aliases including LHAS Inc., Foolish and Sly, Das Etwas, The Mythical Beasts and Dedication.

Most recently he’s been remixing for Jazzy Sport, Far Out and D.J. History; and his new project Fist Club and the Milky Mouth Orchestra with Gerry Rooney (Black Cock) will be due for release in 2009.

His DJing has taken him as far as America, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Greece, Poland, Austria, France, Finland and Hawaii as well as playing at Glastonbury with the New York Downlow.

See you down the front!

This Friday’s party makes the Guardian this weekend. Full support all round from our favourite broadsheet. We’ve printed the article below or you can go and read on the Guardian website.

Manchester’s healthy club scene is offering a broader range of music than ever before. Yet since the spirited, eclectic Electric Chair finished, nobody has stepped up to take the mantle; perhaps its melding of disco, house, hip-hop, reggae and soul seems less revolutionary almost 15 years on. Along with Naive Melody, relative newcomer Cutloose is spanning some of the breach. The latter’s playlist concentrates on house, techno and both vintage and modern disco, but with its location at the Chair’s original venue, the residents’ enthusiasm, plus good guests – such as Friday’s Balearic-tinged disco scientist Mark 7 – a similar vibe is on display.

Words – Marc Rowlandos

With the imminent return of Mark Seven at our May party, it seemed appropriate to demonstrate my own personal affection for lucky number 7 by selecting 7 of my favourite 7”s and compiling a mini mix. The mystical number seven is known to be lucky to some, powerful and magical to others; in Christian tradition it is symbolic of perfection – never more clearly embodied than by the number 7 shirt graced by my heroes, El Beatle in the 60s and 70s, Captain Marvel in the 80s and the King in the 90s.
