I’ve managed to blag a dj slot in the Big Chill bar near Brick Lane on Sunday afternoon. Given the name, I reckon I’ll be playing laid back, summery, dubby stuff rather than mashed up DJ Scud breakcore.

Kid Shirt on Mark Stewart and Acid Mothers Temple in Bristol (not together, sadly). With photos. Infinite Thought on Whitehouse and ATP. With a dash of the old ultra-violence, my young malchickies.
