World Unknown 06th Nov


This Friday another instalment of the unassuming World Unknown goes back to South London, ran by one of the residents of BLOC weekend, Mr Joe Hart.

Playing together with Andy Blake of Dissident records, these railway arch parties in Brixton are a welcome regression, harking back (I can only imagine) to the days of warehouse raves and smiley faces painted on dungarees.
It's straight chicago house, cold wave, italo and electro tracks from dusk till dawn. A massive selection of music that it's hard to find anywhere in London and all for only a fiver.

The problem with these semi-legal parties, more often than not, is the sound quality, but the World Unknown system packs a heavy punch.

The sound is immense, the price tag is unquestionable and the crowd are the perfect blend of unpretentious and ready for commital.

If you checked this out last month you will not want to miss it, and if last month passed you by, don't let it this time.

World Unknown is invitation only, so please contact mail@worldunknown.co.uk for details.

    World Unknown are very excited to welcome electronic pioneer, the good Dr. Alex Paterson. A punk and acid house veteran, Alex is the man responsible for bringing ambient music to Top Of The Pops, contributing to utter classic 'Naked In The Rain' by Blue Pearl and not forgetting, being a top class a fryer of noggins worldwide, with brilliant Orb records and outer-space live sets. Alex has kindly agreed to perform a one-off, World Unknown-style set. Expect dark 1980s body music with an Orbient twist.

    Plus, Andy Blake will be tweaking the boxes with an exclusive, pure-analogue-old-school-acid house-live-set, and Joe Hart (Body Hammer, Bloc) will deliver his usual flawless, connoisseurs’ selection DJ set.

    If all that wasn't enough, Alex is bringing with him Mike Coles, the designer and visual expert who also runs the longstanding, cult-classic record label Malicious Damage, home to The Orb, Killing Joke, Shriekback, HFB and many more. Mike will be transforming the already unique venue into a cerebral cocoon, with images befitting and complimenting the soundtrack.
