Some Vektorspace Hi Quality Downloads

While perusing various forums I came across Vektorspace, running a new blog with free hi quality downloads.

Up there he's got a short four track ep of some dark and nightmareish electro, with tracks like 'linearbeschleuniger' driving distorted basslines through you mind, and 'magnetic resource', which leaves you feeling stuck in a haunted hard drive.

defintely worth a listen, here.

Playback Fantasy

There was a plethora of spooky goings on over hallows eve, but none more so than "Playback Fantasy" at The Castle.

Arguably the only bar / 'living room esque' club in London that gets busier as the nights go on. Ran collectively by Casionova and Meschi it is ferociously picking up zombie followers in light of its eclectic music policy, very late licence and grime ridden east end location.

Unfortunately the delectable Spruxxx couldn't make it on Friday but Glasgow's Andrew Ingram, who runs the hard hitting "Slabs of the Tabernacle" and Mr Bentos provided 8 hours worth of fist clenching italo and electro through till 6am.

This night is a must for party goers who want to swap a lot of chin stroking and haircuts for something distinctly less glossy but infinitely superior.

Previous guests at Playback Fantasy have included Ali Renault, Meschi, Brassica, Casionova and Tommy Walker 3, and runs on the last Friday of every month at The Castle in Whitechapel.
