The Aussies smash it in this the first Dolphin Days!

Next Friday sees the second installment from the Madnice Marauders fam this month and this one is a killer! Tickets have been selling well for this one which sees a legend of the ones and twos find his way back to the pool and for £7 its a deal/steal/saleofthefuckingcentury.

"For a MADNICE bonus joint this month we are stoked to bring you the long awaited return of the UK's finest Hip Hop export, the pioneering DJ/Producer DJ FORMAT. Hitting the road for the launch of his latest LP 'Statement of Intent' with a brand new Live Audio Visual Show along with his analogue, experimentalist right hand man the SIMONSOUND. With a run of sold out tour dates already under his belt don't sleep on this opportunity to catch this unique live experience in the intimate surroundings of the Hold."

With a headliner like Format its tough to put together a night of DJs that will shine through, but they have certainly smashed it with the boys before. DMC and IDA champion DJ Rasp, No Fakin' head honcho Kwinzola and not forgetting the unforgettable beatsmith and digger JENOME will be sure to put together a myriad of beats and burners for your auditory delectation!

Shop favourite, Chris Read has delivered where many have recently failed. I could write a load of words but I feel I need to quote the man himself about the inspiration that came for this mix from the sad news of Adam's passing.

"Predictably, the internet has been awash with MCA / Beastie Boys tribute mixes in the days that have passed since the untimely passing of Adam Yauch. I've listened to many, enjoyed a few but, as I often do, felt the need to put my own mark on it all. So, in less than 24 hours I set about putting together 'Boutique Beats', not your standard 'best of', but a collection of some of my favourites, laced with original breaks samped by the Beastie Boys (largely but not exclusively for the Paul's Boutique album), acapellas, remixes and plenty else besides."

You can also check Chris's thoughts on MCA's passing over here at his Music Of Substance blog.

Cheers Chris.
