Sounds of Sumo Records & High Rankin

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:

YOSHI! Steve of Soulwax

No you havn’t read it wrong….STEVE OF SOULWAX aka ONE MAN PARTY will be taking a small break from touring with the band to smash the proverbial roof off of One Eyed Dog. This will be a seriously good night and I’d advise going. YOSHI sound, lighting and visuals for that full party flavour. Support from KRYWOLF, Udy and Tom Alex. Banging.

PRIMARY – A Phoneography Exhibition by Strong Island – Call for entries

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

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

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.

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.
