pickled | thurs20oct sept 2005 @ theAttic, lincoln

Are you ready for the next pickled? We've got a big task ahead of us following the immense one last month. Here's to it

This month we have twice label boss Ed Russell. He'll be venturing out of Brum to showcase his tech breaks style to us lot. His labels, MBN and Naked Electric are well respected within the breaks community releasing quality tune after quality tune.

Back for his 3rd gig with us is the lanky scottish funkboy, Andy McAllister. This boy is doing rather well, running Bar Vida's Ground Level Breaks and U-Muve's resident breaks DJ from his town of Derby. He also plays at the massive Spectrum (Nottingham).

John Grief finished off everyone when he last played pickled. He was the final DJ of the huge event we put on, on the May Bank holiday. Playing a superb old skool hardcore jungle set that went down in legend. This time, he'll be playing his choice of nuskool and bassline breaks.

As per usual, deviant g will be slamming down his own style of tech/heavy funk breaks n bass, with hopefully some productions of his own being dropped.

On warmup we have Benny Boy b2b with Kobi Shinobi. Kobi couldn't make the last gig so Benny filled in. This time, both are up for an electro tech breaks warmup.

You'll notice that this time we're having to charge, but its sod all really. £2 on the door or £1 n.u.s./guestlist. To join the guestlist just email us

pickled | returned in style

WOW. Was that a blinder or what? Due to some technical problems we started 20mins later than planned. Benny Boy filled in at the last minute for Kobi Shinobi and went on to give a great tech/electro/breaks set. We had some 30 odd people kicking around by half 8!

Next up was the first of their b2b gigs: deviant g & Casual Breakin'dropping some right funky numbers including some classic Josh Wink all plumped up ;) They worked hard in adding to the evening. Following them up to the decks, we welcomed Kickflip, it's was his first time with us, but after his electric performance he's been add to our regular roster. He dropped some superb funk monsters all touched with a slight tech feel. Then he started getting into his scratching, at which point, he definately had the buildings attention. You bloody showoff!!!

Back for their final set was deviant g with the Casual Breakin'. Their task was to beef up the basslines in prep for the final DJ. deviant was doing his best but Casual was determined to keep the funk flowing. They kept everyone on the dance floor thou and the vibe of the night was just getting better.

At midnite, pickled welcomed back the bassline terrorist that is Jo Stokes. No stranger to the crowd of pickled, she dropped a trademark bassline special show. With a few of her n her partner's tweaked tunes ;) Pickled always seem to make the system in that place louder than it should be.

Then it got silly. Kickflip came back on towards the end of Jo's set to add some scratch stylings. :D It got to 1am. People were still stirring, Kickflip was warmed up so deviant brought out some tunes... oh dear. they started well, Mr Psik's rmx's of Jacko's beat it, but this was followed by Addam's Family and some Queen

Massive massive thanks to all of you lot who showed up. Massive shouts to Bobby, Ben, John, Stacey, Matt, Justin, Jo, Jim, John, Adam and everyone else who helped make it a fecking mental evening.

The entire event bar the Kickflip/deviant wrongness was recorded. As soon as deviant's PC is back up n running he'll be uploading it. It will happen folks ;)

See you at the next one!!! xXx

deviant g | on NSB radio last night

woo, that was cool. massive thanks to Jo n John for inviting him down, shouts to Casual for lasting as long as you did. Covered quite a range of breaks and everyone was spot on, even deviant wasn't that bad ;) The show was recorded and a tracklisting might be made, turned into a 5hr 3 way rinseathon in the end so it might take a while. We'll do our best to get it hosted and made avaliable.

Thanks to all who tuned in and showed their support. And deviant apologies for 'Life of Brian' but we bet you were all singing along.

More details when we get sent the cd from John. Butane have invited him back so stay tuned. Finally, massive thanks to search, just for being herself. x.
