Ez people, here's the info on the next couple of Eyes Down dates, which you'll find in the following order: 1. EYES DOWN 5th BIRTHDAY Part 3 feat RSL (9 piece band) 2. EYES DOWN BBE special feat DOMU (Co-op/Archive/Reinforced) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. EYES DOWN 5th BIRTHDAY Part 3 RSL album launch (Full 9 piece Live Band) Plus DJs: KELVIN BROWN JON-K Friday 30th September The Mint Lounge To round off Eyes Downs’s 5th birthday celebrations we are incredibly pleased to welcome back long time friends, and now Mancunian legends RSL. Here to mark the release of their long awaited debut album with a full live show. After the critical and commercial acclaim of previous singles ‘Wesley Music’ (Gilles Peterson’s single of the year in his annual ‘All Winners Awards’) and 'The Mast', to say their debut LP is hotly anticipated is somewhat of an understatement to say the least For more info check: www.eyesdown.net RSL's live shows are always memorable affairs with some incredibly talented musicians making for an amazing live show. For this evening we’ll be returning to the Mint Lounge on Oldham Street. As with the Moodymann Live show, we’ll be putting in a great sound system, and limiting the capacity of the venue, so advance tickets are going to be absolutely essential. Advance tickets are now available from: www.eyesdown.net +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. EYES DOWN - BBE ‘Strange Funky Games and Things’ album launch Featuring DOMU (Co-op / 2000Black / Archive / Sonar Circle / Umod) Plus residents: KELVIN BROWN JON-K Hosted by: MC DRS Friday 7th October The Roadhouse, Newton St. Manchester, UK This month we’re helping one of the UK’s best record labels in the country celebrate the release of the latest in their fantastic compilation series, and we’ve roped one of our favourite DJ’s along to help out. This night is to celebrate the latest in BBE's ‘Strange games and Funky things’ series, released on 10th October. The idea of these compilations is to trace the sound of Hip Hop and R+B back to their roots in 70’s soul, funk and jazz running from classics from the likes of Donald Byrd and Bill Conti to lesser known gems from Monty Alexander, Yasuko Agawa, Michael Wycoff. For more info on the compilation check: www.bbemusic.com For this evening we’ve roped in one of our favourite DJ at Eyes Down, the unstoppable: DOMU The man with more aliases than most people have pairs of socks, Dominic Stanton continues his sporadic residency at Eyes Down. This will be his 6th appearance for us, and the last 5 have been nothing short of mind-blowing. Ask anyone who witnessed his set at the D:Percussion after part for proof of that. With that nights extensive line-up his set was short but sweet, and we thought it only fair to give him a proper amount of time behind the decks!! You can listen to a whole load of Domu’s DJ mixes at: www.dom-uniqueproductions.co.uk We'll also be giving away 10 copies of the new BBE comp, for more details check: www.eyesdown.net/domu.html Peace......
