Remember the incredibly wicked party Invasian Krew Killah made on their first visit this spring? We enjoyed it so much, we invited the guys in Slovenia again. So all of you d'n'b', jungle, hip hop, breakbeat and reggae rhythms lovers save some energy for the beginning of new and fresh year, becouse Invasian Krew Killah are coming back!
Spex MC, the tsunami among MC's is best known as former lead vocalist of Asian Dub Foundation. He recorded three albums with the group (Enemy of the enemy, Tank & Live: Keep Bangin' on the Walls).
DJ Vader is one of the hottest DJ's and producers on the d'n'b scene at the moment. Together with Spex, they provide rhytmical and rhymfull explosion, which will definitively warm you up good in these cold winter nights...
DJ Hose (Illegal kru/JungleX) and W.G. (My Hell Jackson) will also be there, grant all the necessary support, and present the Slovene jungle sounds. For your pleasure only!

GJ PRESENTS: D'N'B TSUNAMI WITH INVASIAN KREW KILLAH
GJ REPORT: BREAK THE FUCKIN' BEAT #7
Already the 7th edition of those great parties breakbeat fans like to visit in Metelkova came to be yesterday evening.
Smooth sort of a housy beginning to the evening was a nice prelude D*Sun performed. The set lit up the atmosphere in the ever so dark Channel 0 and prepared us for the later acts. W.G. (My Hell Jackson) followed with his dose of break beat that the audience longed for. And we got what we came for. W.G. spun those turn tables in ways we couldn't even imagine. Not so crowded Ch0 looked like a really decent party place with raving dancers all around.
The evening continued with performances from friendly group Code EP's Bakto which seemed like a nice change in performer line-up. But many may argue that his set wasn't the expected continuation of break beat genre that was noted in preceding performance.
Anyhow I was all in all very satisfied with the portion of Friday night's party that probably continued for a long time still after your reporter here had to depart not filling very himself anymore (sorry Dado I can't say much about your set). At the time he last looked up towards the stage to marvel upon the handiwork of young DJs the place was still inviting new people in and promising a long sleep on the next day.
For anyone who would like to hear a few parts of last night's party there are, like always, some recordings our »sound-in-taker« Gvido made. Enjoy!

Stranger than Paradise alias Tziganizacija LondOn-a
Yesterday, London Bridge was a spot of a Stranger than Paradise X-Mas party. When we talk about Stranger than paradise we have in mind monthly event that is really stranger than the others! You witness a burlesque going hand in hand with an eclectic array of gypsy dancing music.
Yesterday's party took place at The Miller Bar at London Bridge. DJ-s - London based Kobayashi, Sacha Dieu and the others lifted us up and made us dancing, shaking, whirling and twhirling all around the dance floor. Their tunes that stuffed up the venue and didn't allow you to stop from moving were coloured with feet itching gypsy dance rhythms, swing and french goodies all spiced with unforgettable festive tunes indispensable for a x-mas party.
DJ Kobayashi surprised us with a slovenian folk song that we couldn't believe we really heard it, but there it was »…cuk se je ozenil, tralala, sova ga je vzela, hopsasa…«.
Next Stranger than life Elixir Extravaganza is going to happen on New Year's eve at The Prince and Dex in Brixton. If you are around, this is a party you don't want to miss!

D*SUN
DJ D*Sun from Ptuj has already been our gest and, together with Pupa Robbie, provided us with a great jungle set. You can listen to it in our GJ music archive (Junglestyle). This time this DJ from Ptuj is gonna hit us with a bit different, breakbeat set.

GJ REPORT: THE POLICE HAD TO KICK US OUT
Friday night in Chupiteria was a fun one. Maybe all those little devilishly drinkable chupitos had something to do with it. As well as a set from DJ Tito, who provided some fresh club sounds, which made everybody in the place move the feet to the rhythm of the beat. It was two o'clock in the morning too early, and we would of continue, if the nice police officers didn't came and reminded us it was time to move our ass and go home....or just go party somewhere else...
