Slide On The Terrace with Dimitri From Paris

Bank Holiday Sunday 3 June
2pm-4am
at Brixton Clubhouse

Advance Tickets from RESIDENT ADVISOR

After Dimitri's superb Slide bow in November in the club, we welcome him back onto the terrace in Brixton for the bank holiday.

As the French Ambassador of stylish club sounds, Dimitri from Paris is everything his nation could be proud of: a DJ, producer, & remixer of the highest standard, and a stylish snake-hipped pin-up with French reserve. In a nutshell, there are two distinct sides to Dimitri: a undeniable elegant and, a devoted dance music fanatic.

In 2005 the French government awarded him the very official rank of Knight of the Arts and Letters. Along with Air and Cassius he was the first artist from the Electronica field to be given such a distinction.

Dimitri has several compilations including the cult "Deluxe House of Funk" and the infamous "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" lately charted again in Mixmag's top 100 of best compilations ever.

Recently, remixes for The Rapture, Holy Ghost and Storm Queen have been well received and further are planned alongside original productions under his Erodisco guide.

This is again a rare opportunity to catch DFP in such a small space in London, and this time we are outside on the terrace - we recommend early purchase, do not miss out!

Supporting Dimitri are residents Justin Winks, Henry Greenwood, SlothBoogie, Em Williams and more.

Slide & Get Diverted On The Terrace with Todd Terje - Saturday 30 June

BUY TICKETS HERE

We've tried a number of times over the last couple of summers to book Todd Terje, us being huge fans of his DJing, productions and cheeky edits - many of which have received plenty of airtime at both Slide and Get Diverted parties. In many ways we think we have our man at the perfect time in 2012, what with the 2 huge EPs he has released over the past 12 months - 'Ragysh', which became a monstrous anthem across a wide variety of dancefloors last year - and the superb 'It's The Arps' from January this year, which included the futuristic disco stomper, 'Inspector Norse'.

Terje has also re-hashed, re-edited and remixed an incredible spectrum of artists, everyone from Chic, Paul Simon, Wham!, Roxy Music, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and even Guns 'N' Roses!

Todd sums up his DJing style better than we can ... "I both like playing big room/macho style, but at the same time it's the girls I play for really. So I guess it's a mixture of high octane, leather homo-disco done up with mambo, coconuts and lipstick".

Sounds like the perfect recipe for up on the terrace to us...

Slide On The Terrace - A Love From Outer Space with Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston - Saturday 28 July

BUY TICKETS HERE

After being regular visitors to Andrew and Sean's 'A Love From Outer Space' events at The Drop in Stoke Newington we are extremely happy to present ALFOS on the terrace on Saturday 28 July.

As mentioned, ALFOS has been running once a month Thursdays at The Drop but they have decided take it out & about more recently, and we are delighted that they have chosen to join us on the terrace, we think the space is a great fit.

The manifesto of their night is to never knowingly exceed 122bpm. Andrew describes the night as "an oasis of slowness in a world of increasing velocity".

Weatherall played a big part in moulding the UK's acid house scene in the late 1980s. He also produced one of the most pivotal albums of our generation, Primal Scream's "Screamadelica" and over the year's turned his skills to remix some of the most seminal artists around, including Grinderman, My Bloody Valentine, Bjork and Happy Mondays. His Two Lone Swordsmen and Sabres of Paradise monikers were both released on the iconic UK label Warp Records and remain hugely respected to this day.

Support comes from Wax:On residents and Slide regulars the Eskimo Twins plus residents.

ExtraSensory Cinema: Focusing on the significance of music in film

Featuring film screenings alongside live acts and DJ sets that inspired or were involved in the film, launch event on Saturday 26 May at the excellent Coronet Theatre.

Plus support from Eskimo Twins, Arp Point & Fade in Fade Out VJs

College, real name David Grellier, is a French electronic music composer, whose track 'A Real Hero' was the standout on the superb 'Drive' soundtrack, punctuating the memorable driving scene midway through the film with the driver, Irene and Benicio; and then during the denouement.

At the end of the 90s, College purchased his first computer, with which he created numerous demos influenced by artists such as Jeff Mills, Aphex Twin and labels such as Soma and Warp. In April 2007, he met Anoraak and decided to create a blog to share their most recent productions: the Valerie project was born, which led to the first Ep Teenage Color being released with the album Secret Diary following 2009. The release received critical acclaim from press and industry and led to tours across Europe, America and Australia.

'Drive' screening at 9.30pm

Starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan & Albert Brooks

One of the standout films of 2011, from director Nicolas Winding Refn, adapted from the cult James Sallis' novel of the same name, Drive is the story of a Hollywood stunt driver by day who moonlights as a getaway driver-for-hire in the criminal underworld. He finds himself a target for some of LA's most dangerous men after agreeing to aid the husband of his beautiful neighbor, Irene. When the job goes dangerously awry, the only way he can keep Irene and her son alive is to do what he does best - Drive.
