hi everyone,
the last two weeks at sketchy have been amongst the finest parties we've ever thrown in our near five years at the stiff kitten, so just to say a massive thank you.
amazing to see the club sell out (across three rooms!!) so early the last two weeks and even though it's rubbish watching so many people getting turned away (hundreds last week!) we're incredible grateful people are still coming to sketchy.
we'll keep the guestlist massive for the next few weeks to try and reward regulars, and the shots, as ever, will be flowing from the stage ;-)

Jimmy Spicer - Adventures of Super Rhyme
One of the pioneers of hip hop in the late 70s and early 80s. A very good rhyme indeed....
Spank Rock - Bump
A nice rhythm that gets your foot tapping. understatement, much?!
Method Man - What Happenin' Feat. Busta
Something little more gangsta. Love the chorus in this one.
It just "Makes you wanna step to the bar and sip Bacardi whaa?"
Brookes Brothers - Tear You Down
I'm not a massive drum & bass fan but you can't help but like the Gladys Knight
sample in this one.
Chemical Brothers - Golden Path
With the on set of their new album I have dusted of this collab with the Flaming Lips. imagine you'd seen THIS :-0
Enjoy!
^^

MORE GUESTLIST GIVEN AWAY TOMORROW VIA FACEBOOK! (look out for the message)
i haven't put up any tunes in ages, so here's a few (newish) tracks that have been slaying the main room in recent times, all of them from the more rave end of what we play in the club....
florence & the machine - dog days are over (breakage remix) every single time this is played a bunch of people come up and ask who's on the remix, usually with a WTF typa' expression on their bake. enough said.
ellie goulding - under the sheets (jakwob remix) another decent, poppy dubstep remix for the masses. wobbly.
lindstrom & christabelle - baby can't stop (idjut boys remix) they've just touched up the jacko-ripping off original TBF.
boris dlugosch - bangkok an oldie, and basically the same as 'pon de floor', but, you know. thats okay.
french horn rebellion - beaches & friends (the twelves remix) ludicrously happy yet (just about) not really annoying.
hot chip - i feel better CHECK OUT THE VIDEO RIGHT NAI
erol alkan & boys noize - lemonade this is actually a wee bit TOO melty tbf
that will do.
don't forget to tap us up for guestlist....
