For the 11th event of Season One, Together is, quite simply, smoking; as this week’s special guest is Black Eyed Peas front man and super producer Will.I.Am who will be spinning an exclusive DJ set for us. Joining him will be electro-tech dons The Glimmers and east London party favourites Disco Bloodbath who’ll be joined by Matt Waites, Niyi, Tronik Youth and Men In Masks. The date for your diary is Friday 28th May and venue is of course, The Coronet.

Will.I.Am and his phenomenally successfully band The Black Eyed Peas has racked up global sales of over 35 million albums and 41 million singles. Responsible for massive hits such as ‘Where Is The Love’, ‘Shut Up’ and ‘My Humps’ to name a few, as a producer Will.I.Am has also worked with hip-hop soul legend Mary J Blige, Akon, Flo-Rida, Rihanna, Kelis, Cheryl Cole and produced the Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’ re-release. Spinning a rare DJ set, we’re delighted to have the talent that is Will.I.Am crate digging and rocking the Together crowd for us this week.

The Glimmers (Mo and Benoelie) have had releases on Eskimo, Blue Note, !K7 and Fabric in addition to their own label Diskimo. Their amalgamation of new-beat-funk-dub-house-techno-party-hip-hop-electro-new-wave-edgy-post-punk-disco-rock and a bit of pop was a revelation to those bored of linear mix albums and DJ sets. It became their trademark and according to DJ Magazine “The Glimmers are the most adventurous DJ duo in the world!”

Disco Bloodbath host legendary parties spanning disco, italo disco and techno in and around Dalston. Over the years they have managed to amass a loyal discerning fanbase and have lured some impressive DJs to their bloodbath. More recently they have turned their hand at remixing with production credits notching up a portfolio of remix duties for Franz Ferdinand, The White Lies and The Aliens. In the past few months Disco Bloodbath have hosted rooms at Fabric, Bugged Out, Matter and The Big Chill Festival amongst others.

In a world where super saturated music and new scenes form every few seconds, DJs such as Matt Waites and Niyi are precious diamonds simply because of the diverse yet crowd satisfying sounds and skills they have to the dance floor thumping late in to the night. Expect the unexpected with these two.

Recent remix work with Simian Mobile Disco and Filthy Dukes has cemented Tronik Youth as one of the hottest acts of 2010. With a new EP on the way we’re sure his performance will be anything but run of the mill as he never fails to astonish an ever enlarging fan base of world distinguished DJs. Last but nowhere not least is Men In Masks who has perfected an energetic and intense performance behind (and often on top) of the decks which has propelled him to host treasured live shows and gain respect amongst the likes of DJ Yoda, Kissy Sell Out, Fake Blood, Joe Ransom and Krafty Kuts. Men In Masks is now considered to be one of London’s young most respected and talented club DJs.

Together keeps pulling out the stops by representing music that matters right now, mixed with legendary live artists capable of headlining any festival stage. And the best bit is that you can get your weekly music fix for great value for money as Together will cost you no more than £15.

As if this magnificent line-up wasn’t enough; expect a weekly dose of fun and frolics. Over two thousand like-minded people brought Together, under one roof! That’s what we’re talking about.

Early-Bird priced £10 (£15 on the door).

+ MANY MORE LIVE ACTS & DJS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON


Festibelly returns, bigger and better, to the lush surroundings of the New Forest, Hampshire for its third year of music and fun. With two sell-out years under its belt, Festibelly has grown from 500 capacity beginnings in 2008 to a 2,000 capacity festival in 2010. The original intimate Festibelly vibe remains however, offering an up-close and personal experience of top live music, DJs, art and food in the surroundings of the wonderful New Forest countryside.

Additional areas to the main stage this year include: an acoustic stage hosting music, comedy and the return of the Folk Off! competition, a late night disco and campfire, and Secret Wars also return with live art battles and installations in their own arena. Supporting local industry, Festibelly features the best haute cuisine the New Forest has to offer - from hog roasts to falafel.

The Invisible. Towards the end of 2006, three friends - Dave Okumu, Tom Herbert and Leo Taylor - started work on what was initially intended as Dave's solo project. An exciting, beautiful album gradually emerged and during the process of its creation the three Londoners fused into a fully-fledged trio. The Invisible's self titled debut album went on to be nominated for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize.

Man Like Me. Led by mild-mannered Camden pin-up Johnny Langer, Man Like Me combine indie, rave, grime, ska and hip hop with matter-of-fact lyrics to create an unquestionably youthful British sound. They follow a lineage of artists such as Ian Dury, The Specials, Hot Chip and The Streets in making the everyday sound extraordinary.

King Charles. 2009 was a busy year for West London's King Charles. His debut single, 'Time of Eternity' was played by Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens, Rob Da Bank and Zane Lowe, he's spent the past year gigging everywhere from Glastonbury to tiny venues in the middle of nowhere to a support slot with Mumford & Sons and has recorded his debut album due for release this year.

My Tiger My Timing. My Tiger My Timing (brother and sister Anna Vincent and James Vincent, Jamie Harrison, Gary Drain and Seb Underhill) are named after a track by New York artist Arthur Russell and have recently recorded a version of his song Arm Around You for a covers album on the Electric Minds label. They have also contributed songs to Modular's Leave Them All Behind Vol 3 compilation, French label Sisterphunk's Sisters EP and the recent Kitsuné Maison 8 sampler, alongside artists like Delphic, Chew Lips and Crystal Fighters.

Tek-One. Tek-One are a duo who create the heaviest dubstep out of circuit bent children's toys, broken keyboards, short-circuited toy amps, anything with AA batteries and a low bit-rate that was built in Taiwan and designed to amuse a young child for 30 seconds. The live show also incorporates DJing, live drums, synths, FX and needs to be seen to be believed.

More details to be announced soon.

‘DARK MATTER: MULTIVERSE 2004–2009’

Since its formation in 2004 Bristol based Multiverse has been one of the key creative studios for developing the city's flourishing culture of forward thinking electronic music. Based around their recording studio in the heart of the city the collective has consistently nurtured and supported electronic artists, both nationally and internationally, in the process creating a series of seminal releases that have helped shape today's current musical landscape. Through their network of labels which includes Tectonic, Kapsize, Earwax, Caravan and Build, the work of the studio has focussed on exploring the uncharted spaces between genres, bridging together today's cutting edge sonic possibilities with electronic music's rich and diverse musical history. This intention has been accomplished with a strictly artist led approach and a commitment to supporting the work of new and innovative musicians and composers. The fruits of this creative labour are reflected here in this celebratory compilation.

This double CD release offers a selection of highlights from the studios recent history. Leading the charge are both ‘Lion’ and ‘Pop Pop’ by Vex’d, records that formed the first bridge between classic British industrial music and dubstep, a fusion now championed by the likes of Surgeon, Distance and Milanese. This appears alongside Joker and Ginz’s ‘Purple City’ the track that spearheaded the emergence of the Purple Wow phenomenon. Also present is Pinch’s ‘Qawwali’ one of the key tracks that broke dubstep to a global audience via Mary Anne Hobb’s Dubstep Warz compilation. Pinch’s influence within Multiverse extends across the compilation through his collaboration with P Dutty on ‘War Dub’, featured in the movie Children of Men, and ‘Get Up’ with Massive Attack vocalist Yolanda Quartey and Bristol legend Rob Smith (RSD). Equally the more avant-garde work of the studio is represented through Moving Ninja, an artist who pioneered the blurring of boundaries between dubstep and sound design, and emptyset, whose eponymous debut album fused the streamlined European minimalism of Mika Vainio and Raster Noton with Bristol’s unique bass heavy production style. This ground breaking selection of tracks sit alongside contributions by techno/dubstep pioneer 2562, half-step progenitor Loefah, Skream and Caravan label boss October. In the process ‘Dark Matter’ creates a landmark archive of the work of one of the world’s most innovative creative networks of electronic producers.

At the centre of this community is Bristol’s thriving music scene in which Multiverse forms a key social hub, and the studio has operated with a family ethos that has placed creativity and artistic co-operation at the heart of their activity. Their collective approach places dialogue and collaboration as a vital and indispensable element within the musical process, an ethos that is entrenched within the city's creative history, and their focus as ever remains in working with a diverse range of artists to craft a unique an inimitable sound that speaks to a global audience. As a result Dark Matter emerges both as a celebration of all that has been achieved and forms a decisive manifesto for an unwritten future. An elemental space where electronic music collides with new digital processes and avant-garde composition, a place where sound becomes the raw sculptural mass of the sonic languages of tomorrow.

The R'n'B singer/songwriter, Kelis, will be kick starting this week's Together with her well known hits including 'Milkshake' and 'Acapella', which is currently at #5 in the charts. Kelis has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry including Willl.i.am, Bjork, Outkast, Raphael Saadiq, Moby, The Neptunes, Enrique Iglesias and Basement Jaxx. Kelis has been busy working on her next album 'Flesh Tone' with producers David Guetta, Burnz, DJ Ammo, Boys Noize, Diplo/Switch and Free School.

Twenty-three year-old Tinchy Stryder racked up three consecutive top three hits in six months last year: 'Take Me Back' featuring Taio Cruz, 'Number 1' with N-Dubz and his second #1 single 'Never Leave You' featuring Amelle from the Sugababes. Tinchy's last arena tour sold out, his debut album 'Catch 22' went Gold within two weeks of release and he has also set up his own clothing label 'Star in the Hood'.

The New York legend Afrika Bambaataa is known as the 'Godfather' of hip-hop culture and 'The Father' of the electro funk sound. His creation of electro funk, beginning with his piece 'Planet Rock', helped fuel the development of other musical genres such as Miami bass, electronica, house, hip house and early techno. Bambaataa was the pioneer of Zulu Nation, an international hip-hop awareness group which arose with New York City gang members organizing cultural events for youths, combining local dance and music movements into what later became known as the various elements of hip hop culture. On September 27, 2007, Bambaataa was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dusk + Blackdown Present Margins Music

A seismic experience for dubstep fans everywhere as Dusk + Blackdown (aka Dan Frampton and Martin Clark) bring their acclaimed 2008 'Margin's Music' album to the live arena. Taking unseen London as its inspiration, the album moves around the capital's edges by night, reflecting the city as it comes alive with sound: raw slang, dialects, clanking trains, sub base waves and rebel radio frequencies. Mixing bass-heavy dubstep, grime and electronica with Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu voices the album creates a unique snapshot of London's cultural landscape, using sampled sounds and studio production alongside live vocals.

Intensively work-shopped at the Albany in Deptford, the live show will consist of Dusk + Blackdown controlling samples and sequences with Ableton, a specially created band featuring vocals from MC Durrty Goodz and singer Farrah, and musicians covering Indian percussion, and synths. Live versions of the album's standout tracks will flow with completely new tracks written for the live ensemble and; although this will be an at times intense listening experience; the set will build to club-ready music that's deep, dark and dancefloor friendly. The show will include a strong visual aspect, referencing old Bollywood films (the sources of Blackdown's samples), mixed with footage from contemporary London. Guest DJs from the Keysound roster will be in support.

The Margins Music Live tour is supported by Arts Council England.
