Roundhouse Turning Point Festival, Announced for 17-19 September 2010 27 May 2010 For immediate release Roundhouse Turning Point Festival, announced for 17-19 September 2010 – First round of artist announcements for Roundhouse Turning Point Festival – Highlights include Ms. Dynamite, Professor Green and Toddla T – Tickets on sale 27 May: 0844 482 8008 or www.myspace.com/turningpointfestival Multi-award winning Ms. Dynamite and breakthrough hip-hop star Professor Green are the first acts to be announced for this year’s Turning Point Festival at Camden’s Roundhouse, 17-19 September. The only London music festival to be completely created and controlled by young people aged 25 and under, Turning Point brings the best in live music, dance, comedy and theatre. After a sell-out debut in 2009 – boasting performances from the likes of Noisettes, Kano and Zane Lowe –- Turning Point returns with a bang to round off the 2010 UK summer festival season. Friday night opens with the cream of UK bass music, bringing you the best sub-heavy rave through the night. Rising stars, including Toddla T (Radio 1) and Breakage, will be hitting you with dirty bass beats. Saturday will be an epic all-day urban takeover hosted by 1xtra’s Mista Jam, with a comeback performance from the first lady of UK garage, Ms. Dynamite. The Mercury and multiple MOBO award winning artist will take over the main stage with the inimitable musical creativity and lyrical talent which brought the UK garage movement into the mainstream. Also performing is UK hip-hop firebrand Professor Green, who last month hijacked the UK charts with INXS sampled hip-hop/pop crossover track I Need You Tonight . His new single with Lily Allen is set to storm the charts too. With fresh gritty tunes and wry observations, Professor Green’s presence at Turning Point is sure to pack a punch. Other highlights include BBC Sound of 2010 nominee Devlin, soul boy Bluey Robinson, UK funky hitmaker Donae’o and grime star JME. Sunday will be rounded off with a genre twisting display of music and film. King Charles brings his bizarre blend of psychedelic folk pop whilst dark and deadly indie rockers, O Children, add their menacing melodies to the mix. Friday 17 September Saturday 18 September Sunday 19 September Toddla T Ms. Dynamite King Charles Redlight Professor Green O Children Breakage JME Sparrow and The Workshop Jakwob Donae’o Treetop Flyers Dam Mantle Devlin Circus Space Bluey Robinson London Word Festival Host: Mistajam (1xtra) Eat Your Own Ears presents… Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Roundhouse Theatre Company Alongside the stellar line up, Roundhouse Turning Point will be showcasing explosive street dance, turntablism, MC battles and beatboxing competitions. The London Word Festival will test the limits of language with a mix of music, poetry, literature, comedy and live art. Field Day promoters Eat Your Own Ears will be co-curating a miscellany of music and film fusions in the Studio Theatre and Circus Space will present an impressive showcase by their latest circus graduates. Roundhouse has also teamed up with MySpace, the world's largest online music community, to give three emerging bands/artists the opportunity to perform at Turning Point. www.myspace.com/turningpointfestival will act as the festival's primary online home, featuring all the latest news and competition details for would-be performers, as well as audio playlists, video footage, photos and regular blogs from the Turning Point team. Turning Point epitomises the Roundhouse’s aim to nurture and champion fledgling talent and provide young people with the skills required for their chosen careers. Investing in a talented group of event producers aged 25 and under, Turning Point offers a once in a lifetime chance to run a music event. Receiving training in everything from production to PR, the team have equipped themselves with the skills to run their festival their way. At every stage, Turning Point sets itself apart from other festivals, a sentiment echoed by the team: “The Turning Point team aim to show that anything is possible; not age, status, ethnicity or class can stop you from doing anything if you work hard enough. Through the support of top musicians, and the diversity of our content, we seek to inspire and showcase everything we're capable of, in the hope that more people will do the same” Sarah Wilson, 17 “Turning Point allows young creative people to deliver a fantastic and refreshing festival that in due time will become recognised and respected, and prove that young people aren’t pigeon-holed or type-cast” Sei-Kee Lau, 25 PRESS ENQUIRIES Jennifer Tetteh or Liana Mellotte at House PR T 020 7291 3000 E [email protected] / [email protected] LISTINGS Venue Roundhouse, Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8EH Performances 17-19 September 2010 Tickets 0844 482 8008 / www.myspace.com/turningpointfestival NOTES TO EDITORS About the Roundhouse The Roundhouse is one of London’s leading performing arts venues and, as a charity, it helps thousands of young people every year.

  • Some Albums to Keep Your Toes Warm This October Pt 2
    Some Albums To Keep Your Toes Warm This October Pt 2. Bittles‘ Magazine | Record Review I was arm-wrestling a tiger the other day (my editor told me I had to make the beginning of my articles more exciting) when I suddenly realised that I had no time for such frivolity as I had some great albums to review. Quickly admitting defeat, I retreated to my listening studio (bedroom) and immersed myself in some of the fantastic records that will be hitting the record store shelves this October. By JOHN BITTLES We have the UK house of Huxley, the indie bleakness of Grouper, the disco diva-isms of Munk, the techno bass of Distal and so much more. But really, in a month when there is, finally, a new album by Glaswegian duo Slam, there is only one place we can begin. Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle have long been established as bona fide legends of the house and techno scene! Their record label Soma is over 400 releases old, their DJ sets at clubs like The Sub Club and The Arches in Glasgow are discussed with an air of awed reverence, and, as Slam, the duo have released some of the finest electronic music known to man. And now, in the year 2014 they give us their first album in seven years with the deep and moody brilliance of Reverse Proceed. The cinematic ambience of Tokyo Subway, Visual Capture and the title track open proceedings and are the perfect introduction to the deliciously deep sounds to come. In fact it’s not until the techno futurism of Synchronicity that we even get our very first sign of a beat.

  • Nothing Matters When We're Dancing« – November's New Albums
    »Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing« – November’s new albums Bittles‘ Magazine | Record Review Ok, I admit it. I am addicted to music! Yet, you can hardly blame me, when there are so many great new albums out there all vying desperately for my time and love. Why, in November alone we have absolutely amazing new records by the likes of Recondite, Clark, Juju & Jordash, Frank & Tony, Biblo, The Twilight Sad and many, many more. Is it any wonder that I hardly ever leave the house anymore, my friends think I’m dead and that my girlfriend has dumped me because I insist on keeping my headphones on when we talk? But enough about me, these are the LPs that should be enriching your life right now. By JOHN BITTLES This month we’ll start with an album that is ideal for those looking for a rich, deep journey into the very heart of techno/house. The name Recondite should be familiar to anyone who has even a passing interest in electronic music after a career releasing beautifully textured music for labels like Ghostly International, Acid Test, and Hotflush. This November sees the arrival of his rather splendid new LP, Iffy on the ever wonderful Innervisions label. The album is a slow, sultry affair, and contains ten tracks of immaculately produced techno that are so lush and spacious sounding you will be left with goose-bumps for weeks. Opener Baro resembles a lost John Carpenter soundtrack, Levo has a slow, steady dance floor pulse, Garbo is so good I get an erection when it plays, while Jim Jams finishes things off with a warm, introspective air.

    Press release 6 March 2014 PRS FOR MUSIC FOUNDATION HELPS OUTSTANDING ARTISTS TO SHOW- CASE AT SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST (SXSW) 2014 • 19 hotly-tipped artists receive funding to travel and perform at SXSW • British Music Abroad programme re-named as International Show- case Fund by partners PRS for Music Foundation, Arts Council Eng- land, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), British Underground and Musi- cian ’s Union PRS for Music Foundation is delighted to reveal the talented artists to be funded through the International Showcase Fund – their music export programme, for- merly known as British Music Abroad – for this year ’s SXSW music festival and conference in Austin, Texas (March 11th-16th). They are: Alex Vargas, Anushka, Bo Ningen, Cloud Boat, Forest Swords, Glass Ani- mals, Kins, Petite Noir, PINS, Psychemagik, Slaves, SOPHIE, Teeth of the Sea, Fat White Family, The Heatwave, The Wytches, To Kill a King, Wolf Alice and Woman ’s Hour.

The final list was chosen on the basis of musical talent and strength of business case for showcasing at what is one of the largest and most influential new talent marketplaces. It is estimated that more than 2,000 acts representing 55 countries will perform at this year ’s festival. By renaming the scheme as the International Showcase Fund, PRS for Music Foundation and the Fund’s partners - UKTI, Arts Council England, British Under- ground and the Musicians’ Union - are making clear their focus on industry facing showcases where “export ready” artists can make crucial first steps into new in- ternational markets.

  • No Bounds 11——13.10.19 Event Programme Music, Art, Film Screen- Ings, Talks Workshops Introduction Joe Muggs
    No Bounds 11——13.10.19 Event Programme Music, Art, Film screen- ings, Talks Workshops Introduction Joe Muggs Optimism isn’t really in fashion, and understandably so. We’re overwhelmed by populists, scammers, liars, Fascists, fools of the worst sort, and earnest attempts to counter this takeover are themselves all too often taken over by further Fascists, fools and saviours with feet of clay. The world is burning and melting around us, and we seem to be volunteering to put in hours of labour for free and live under constant surveillance – indeed we even seem to be willing to pay for the privilege. Debt is normality, the lie of austerity is normality, slaughter and torture being beamed into our personal timelines is normality, withering irony and pompous righteousness as cloaks for the worst and most hateful views are normality. Meanwhile in the cultural sphere, recorded music is so devalued that any of the big four tech giants could buy the entire global music industry with the loose change down the back of their sofas, and the only reason they don’t is that it’s not worth the hassle. But – and it’s a big but [“big butt” – Beavis & Butthead cackle] – somehow there’s a lot going on that is pumped full of hope. Not hope in the save-the-world sense, mind. OK there’s some of that around, but even Greta Thunberg’s rhetoric is shot through with a huge amount of bleakness. But small scale, human level stuff where little things that people do in themselves make looking a week, a month, a year forward seem not just bearable but – in the moment at least – exciting.
