NYE

Johnny Chingas (Lasermagnetic) & DJ Alex (Voices Collective), two of London's longest standing disco and deep house promoters, join forces with Pearl Flash and Deepfrequency to bring you a New Year's Eve extravaganza. The event will be taking place at 'The East Room' members bar and Sosho over three floors in Shoreditch (East London). We will bring together iconic and cutting edge artists, careful programming, good sound, a diverse dance floor and crowd on each level, so there's something in there for everyone. Musically speaking, there will be Cosmic, Afro Funky, Italo, Euro and NYC Disco, Club Classics, Reggae, Rock & Eastern influenced sounds with a good measure of electronic music thrown in.

Tappan Zee

And here is a great vintage snap of film music composer Joe Delia, who spent most of the late 70s thru to the 90s working alongside auteur Abel Ferrara scoring genre defining classics like Driller Killer, King Of New York, and Ms. 45 which i've just had remastered from original 1/4 inch tape (also pictured) and sounds heavy. This really is the ultimate New York grindhouse sleazer...coming soon on Moscovitch
