Description
The Thing is a bi-monthly party held in Hackney to fly the freak flag for cosmic disco addicts, psychedelic techno partisans and stone to the bone funk fanatics.
The night is the pulsating brain child of Horton Jupiter (Puwaba, Halleluwah), Natalie Sharp (The Lone Taxidermist) and John Doran (Hollywood 7, Outernational).
Friday April 10th sees the inaugural Thing party featuring Horton & Doran going head to head on the decks buzzing off each other's selection of phazed Cameroonian synth funk, ear boggling Syrian wedding rave, fake Zairean glam stompers, chrome-plated Balearic synth pop, Iraqi acid choubi, Lowland bath house bangers, rampantly indiscreet Afrobeat, not to mention the D.l.S.C.O, the funk and the Krauty grooves… Master of Ceremonies Sharp will be employing her Galifreyan toolbox of analog gew gaws and audio warping gizmos, to provide live remixing for a highly psychedelicized dancefloor.
The Thing crew are literally beside themselves after an accident in the quantum copying room and the amazing news that Sculpture are playing a full live audio visual set at their debut party. The duo are an "opto-musical agglomerate" that will distort time space and the senses with tape-loop manipulations and zoetrope visuals that will melt your face. For anyone who is unlucky enough to have never seen Sculpture before this is what Horton has to say: "A Sculpture show is like being hypnotised into an extremely ecstatic trance by whirlpool visuals and impossible polyrhythmic grooves, both with a multitude of spasmodic interruptions. It will set your hair alight."
And not only that but the trio still have a very special guest yet to be announced to take the dancing all the way into the early hours of the morning.
There will be prizes on the night for the best dressed guests but enlightenment via the heart and brow chakra will be granted to everyone in attendance.
