Acid Monkey at Jack’s
Pukka Music Launch
15 October 2005
review by Le Mufti, photos Jam Gorilla


Tucked behind SEOne under the usual railway arches is Jack’s. I was luckily guided there by the “Gorilla” as it is easily missed if you have not been before and the area around there has a Jack the Ripper feel to it…you could be in Whitechapel circa 1888, with only the gas lights missing to add to the ambience.

review by Dr Rocket, photos by Genie

It’s must for any drum and bass crew cos they bring da quality and lotsa of jump up.
Gotcha!
Their massive night at Koko on 8th of October, co-organised with Epidemik crew, hardcore ravers brothers legend on the scene, was a good one cos they are sometimes big ones and they are very bad. But this one was a night of kick ass drum n bass. Nuff said.

Ambivalent Record Launch at The Arches
7 October
review by Le Mufti

Ok, so while Synergy was cooking its usual casserole of hippy interactivity down at SEOne, and while over the water at Heaven, “Knowwhere” were trancing it up, in birthday guise to a more mainstream audience; a beacon of light timidly burst forth on the Psy-Trance scene landscape.
A fire was being lit in Southwark Street at the Arches.

If you believe the hype, then Ground Zero for the British arm of the '60s counterculture was an event that came to be known as 'Wholly Communion'. This event took place on 11th June 1965 at the Royal Albert Hall and was filmed for a documentary of the same name. A cynic like me would point out that a memorial to a deceased consort of the Monarch funded and operated by the state is hardly the best place to birth a counterculture.

Blurt! @ The Bull and Gate - 15th September 2005. Reviewed by The Mullah

Praise Zeus. Praise Apollo, Musegetes. Praise Euterpe. Sometimes I forget why I got into live music. Too many London gigs that resemble a fashion show more than a music event have taken it out of me. Which is why I'm so glad that I made it along to see Blurt!, who along with their support bands, reaffirmed my love of music.
