Sounds of Sumo Records will be having a launch night on Saturday (14th) in the One Eyed Dog. In their own words:
“Needless to say the Yoshi! launch party was massive! To follow up we have Sounds of Sumo Recordings launch party which will celebrate the first release off the label….Mucky!
This one will be bigger and sweatier than the last with High Rankin bringing his heavy clubstep style to the One Eyed Dog. If you don’t know about him, learn quick….he’s signed to Herve’s Cheap Thrills and is widely regarded (along with Fake Blood) to be the best thing on the label.
Sounds of Sumo have snapped him to remix their first release and it doesn’t disappoint!
The other remix comes from Mosca who has also got a forthcoming release on L-Vis 1990 and Bok-Bok’s label Night Slugs. His Baltimore party remix of Mucky has been getting loads of attention from dj’s on the London circuit.
Mele‘s has also been getting loads of attention for his production skills with Foamo, Sindnen, Toddla T and L-Vis 1990 all saying good things! His remix of Dibby Soun’ shows off the 17yr olds skills as one to look out for!”
8pm to 2pm, £4 before 9pm £5 before 10pm £6 after. Sure to be an amazing night.
P.S. Yoshi has supplied some links to free music:

Mr Derek Morris will be hitting Little Johnny Russells this month on Friday the 19th with his special blend of Soul, Reggae and Ska. If you’ve never seen DJ Derek in action before, get down to get down. Last time he played at LJR it went off on the dancefloor. Back up from residents Dharma77, Handsome Dave Rocker & Monkey Pizzle. Banging.
This Bank Holiday has lots to offer, just scroll down and check it all out. But what about Sunday, well why don’t you get on down to The Little Johnny Russells and get ready to dance like idiots to some classic all night bangers. You know the score. Put on your dirty vans and get involved on the dancefloor.
Residents Albino Monkey and Handsome Dave Rocker are joined by Rosko Siffredi and Balti Mark of C.O.R fame. Hopefully I’ll have enough energy to get in the mix after getting up stupid early and doing this.
The Breakneck and SUMO Crew bring you this full throttle night of utter carnage. This one will slap you round the face and drag you on to the dance floor till your shins give out. It will no doubt go off something crazy. Just a shame it’s on a school night, but hey, don’t let that stop you.
TUESDAY 28th APRIL 2009 – 9PM-3AM at Liquid Superclub, Stanhope Road, Portsmouth. Check the Facebook Event Page for further details. Banging.
The super sharp shooters back this Bank Holiday at The Little Johnny Russells. SUMO & BLOOM FESTIVAL present DJ ZINC + Baby Sumo DJ’s and much more. No doubt we’ll all be there on Friday and if you’re coming on the Strong Island Bike Ride I’m sure we will all be there throughout the evening. Possibly still dressed like idiots. Can’t wait…
Check out the Facebook Events page for further info and updates
With resident Albino Monkey and the Sumo DJs in tow this will be another party banger at LJR. Join up to the Sumo Facebook Group for news on all their upcoming events.

This coming new year we will be proud to announce our latest exhibition PRIMARY, a Phoneography exhibition by Strong Island and we are even happier to announce that it’s open to you, the readers.
With the continuing increase in impressive camera technology in mobile phones and the ability to alter, tweak, post process and upload the photos to social media networks and websites like Instagram, the popularity of Phoneography has never been greater.
The ‘of the moment’ ability to take a photo at almost any time and any place by most people has really driven the fact that the camera does not make the photographer. By which I mean, you don’t need an expensive camera to take outstanding photos.
Agreed, the quality of the physical image may not stand up to the big guns, but new learnings in composition, style and aesthetic by a new generation of camera users via online media has really driven this popularity, and encourage people to go beyond a ‘quick shot’.
PRIMARY invites you to get out and about around Portsea with your mobile phone camera and take photos of anything and everything based around the three primary colours red, yellow and blue. What you photograph is entirely up to you, but submissions will only be accepted if they stick to the theme.
The call for entires has now begun and the deadline is the 31st of January 2012 with the exhibition being held in March of 2012. Photos can be taken on any mobile phone model and we ask that a maximum of 3 photos per applicant are sent in to primary@strong-island.co.uk.
Please submit along with your photographs your name, photo title, phone model, location of photo on the island and any post process apps you used, if any, to achieve the final shot.
We look forward to seeing all the entries, and the final installation will be something special using every photo submitted in a slightly different fashion from your average photographic exhibition. CLICK HERE TO PRINT YOUR OWN POSTER

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.
You can sign up yourself, as I’m sure many of you already have, or you can join the Strong Island team and seek out sponsorship as a team. Through the Strong Island Movember page you can ask people to join the group, make donations, upload photos and post updates via the MoSpace page, Facebook and Twitter.
Head over to www.mobro.co/StrongIsland if you would like to get involved and grow a Strong Moustache to help raise awareness, or simply head over to www.uk.movember.com and sign up to personally raise money.
The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
