Last month's free mix CD, given away to all those who attended Jugend Klub on 23rd April, was mixed by the wonderful Richard A. Spears. A warped mix of electro, hip-hop and general psychedelia in 4 parts - I urge you to download it all here IMMEDIATELY.
Yes indeedy, fresh from their tour of China, Bicep will be paying a visit to the slightly less glamourous surroundings of Birmingham. If you haven't checked out their blog, www.feelmybicep.com, you must do so NOW. They have a ridiculous amount of free tunes on there. From obscure italo tracks to the latest edits that are currently tearing up dancefloors across the globe. An inexhaustible resource for DJs and a Mecca for all music-lovers!
The second free mix CD from Jugend Klub marks my mix debut and hopefully not my last.
The concept on the Sungazer mix was really to look at the lighter direction that the shoegaze sound has inspired. So don't expect My Bloody Valentine or Slowdive, this is a more blissed out selection.
I kicked things off with the early Underworld track 'Tongue' which is almost as balearic as it gets, which is then followed by two of the electronic scenes brightest stars 'Toro Y Moi' and 'Washed Out'.
The timeless Daniel Wang track 'Free Lovin' merges nicely into local lad and Ex Sunset Cinema Club bass player's Greg Bird's track 'Wonderland', with the mix then peaking with Dubstep's 'Man of the moment' 'Joy Orbison' and the epic monster that is Fuck Buttons 'Surf Solar'
Whilst researching tunes to play for the fabulous ATTA girl night held fortnightly at the Island Bar, my friend and fellow DJ Rick Wellings showed me this........
Jugend Klub is expanding like some sort of national social political movement at the moment, unfortunately I can't think of any relevant comparison, but the fact remains that each night seems to be bigger and better than the last. On Friday we had guest DJs Ben Thomas and Jack Adams (two of the boys behind Golden Trash) plus the usual residents.
But last friday was also a first for Jugend Klub as we gave away copies of our very first mix CD with a mix by myself and Ben Thomas. Our aim is to do one of these free CDs a month featuring mixes by both our resident DJs and our guests.
Here is Ben's mix that featured on this very first CD. My mix however is strictly for the CD only so if you didn't pick one up on Friday you'll just have to lump it.
Last night Jugend Klub hosted its first film night at the Sunflower Lounge. We went for an 80s cop thriller theme with two classics: Assault on Precinct 13 and the lesser-known but equally brilliant To Live & Die In L.A.
We'll be doing more film nights in the future so keep a look out for those (or even email us some suggestions of films you'd like to see). In the meantime, here's the trailer for To Live & Die In L.A. -
