James Fox - Push Comes To Shove [MZYKN002]

1 comments


The new release from Myuzyk is now available....

Bleep house, wobbling bass, technoid rhythms and start stop instrumental hip hop born out of James Fox's home studio from a love of music that makes people want to dance. Ingredients are kept to the essentials and tweaked to create stripped down grooves and DJ friendly tracks.


If its half as decent as the labels first release then this is going to be awesome...

available here

THE! NEW YEARS EVE PARTY

This will be the 7th New Years Eve Party where Beatz & Bobz and DMF join together with the Phoenix to put on the best NYE party in the South West. Radio One have called it “the best value NYE Party in the UK”.

The event has seen changes and improvements to the lay out each year to make the event more enjoyable and this one is set to be the best yet. The action will be taking place in a heated marquee in the grounds, the auditorium, bar gallery and the front gallery and will be featuring Breaks, Drum & Bass, House, Funk, Dub and Hip Hop so there will be something for everyone.

Exeter’s long running club night Beatz & Bobz host the Auditorium with a mixture of Breaks, House and just plain good party music. Special guests are the mighty Aquasky who are capping of what for them and their Passenger label has been a massive year for releases and gigs with the headline spot in Exeter. Supporting them will be the cream of the Exeter DJ talent with Ben & Lex and DJ Andromeda, the JamTheChannel DJs and special guest Lewis Hopkin (Renaissance) laying down some dirty House to finish of the night

The Rinseout Drum & Bass Arena in the Marquee will be playing the best in upfront D & B & liquid with a few classics thrown in 4 good measure. Headlining the room is the front man of Formation Records, which has been one of the most prominent Drum & Bass labels for for over 10 years, DJ SS. Not only that we have only the South West`s finest support with Mastervibe who has put Newquay on the D&B map and has been playing at the country`s biggest events since day 1. Alongside them is Mr Nice , Rinseout front man also voted South Wests No1 DJ, Script MC (voted No1 South West MC), Fuze & Moonie (1Nation & Slammin Vinyl residents), Darko from Plymouths No1 DnB night and not forgetting Exeter finest Maxxi P & Johnny G representing the Rinseout Camp

The Vibraphonic Lounge in Gallery One / Phoenix Bar features local DJs Spider, Reform Record’s Lee Waller joined by the Jazzwolves. In the Phoenix the front Gallery has a dubby feel with Exeter’s leading Dub Sound System Dib Dub with their DJs and drummers taking over the whole night.

Processing 1.0

0 comments


On my travels around the net I've discovered this program called Processing.

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.


Been looking at some of the example of the stuff you can produce with Processing so I'm thinking of using it somehow to make Metro Boy videos, when I'll find time to do this I have no idea but hopefully soon.

Social Networks

0 comments
I was having a think today while at work about the amount of social networks I'm on and yet rarely use.

Facebook and MySpace are of course the big daddies of them all and I regularly use these but I'm also on Titter, Jaiku, Pownce and to be honest don't see the point. I can't decide weather to persevere with them and see what happens or just delete my accounts... hmm... I think I'll roll with them till the new year and see what happens as I know Google have just bought Jaiku so it will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Beatz & Bobz is 10

0 comments
Tonight is going to see one of the biggest breaks parties in the South West EVER.

Having been with Beatz & Bobz for the past 9 years its amazing how far its come. Not just a little night in Exeter, its now a major playing in the international breaks scene. So if you in the area get your arse down to Exeter and join us for this years birthday celebrations.



I'm still thinking of putting together a book to commemorate 10 years of 'Breakin Breaks' using photos from all the Beatz and Bobz parties. I just need to find to time to get all the images together :)
