RIOT JAZZ – GIVES YOU THE HORN!
Tuesday, 25 January 2011
Tiny beams of sunlight dance through a galaxy of holes. Holes left by the shot-gun pellets that tore through the tarpaulin the night before. As the same greasy cloth jives in the cool Hudson Bay morning breeze, starry lights flicker across Detective McBride’s unshaven face...
It was Sunday. Easter Sunday. In the Year of Our Lord, 1933. But there was nothing holy about this place. Ave Ma-fricking-ria.
McBride rubbed his stinging eyes and looked over his blood-stained lapels to the pool of gasoline and rancid brandy that had been his bed for the night. Groaning, he sat up, striking a match off a sleeping elephant’s backside. He lit his cigar, inhaling deply: “What the Scarface happened?”
It all started two nights before... or 38 years later... depends how you look at things. All McBride knew was that at 0800 hours, Friday, a Ruski submarine ran aground under Brooklyn Bridge. Word on the street was the rusty Russian leviathan came from the future... maybe from another planet... planet CCCP. Who the finkelstein knew? Who the fonsworth cared? All McBride knew was that some Communist numb-nuts had run their bastard underwater machine into Don Tillettiʼs main bootleg depot on the bay, A.K.A The Riot Jazz Cafe, A.K.A. Satanʼs Cesspit... The only watering hole left in this prohibition wasteland...
At the Riot Jazz Cafe, anything was possible: a place of dreams and liquid wonderment. Where the air was thick with the smog of pumping jazz, liquor spurted like sulphuric water from demented geysers and sweat beads clung to the walls like bats on Guano Island. Where an undulating mass of human and animal flesh danced through the night, getting their kicks, before the morning came and they back-tracked their steps on the road paved with bad intentions... The road to Riot Jazz.
Every night at this joint was like the Eve of the Apocalypse - McBride would never admit to setting foot in the notorious watering-hell-hole. But last night was different. Was it all a twisted dream? A manic menagerie on the dance
floor... Russian sailors... deserters from some cold war in the future... painted-faced comrades... time- travelling bounty-hunters...? You wouldn’t believe it if it was branded on your mamma’s eyelids.

RIOT JAZZ vs HIT&RUN - DJ FRESH, RIZ MC, RIOT JAZZ BRASS BAND, QUEST & SILKIE & A Partridge in a Pear Tree!
:::RIOT JAZZ versus HIT&RUN:::
Twas the Last Night Before Christmas...
"It's the last night before Christmas and all through the city,
cool winds are blowing, it's gettin' real nippy.
Jazz-pants hung by chimneys with care,
long for the dance-floor and legs to take them there.
Mes dammes et messieurs, nestled snug in your beds,
with visions of ginger trumpet-men dancing in your heads,
Some may mutter gently in shivering slumber,
'Isn't it time for another Riot Jazz vs Hit&Run, I wonder?'
For few things are as sweet as the lovely clatter,
of DJs dropping the platters that matter...
Especially when there's so much more in the bowl,
as the thumping live music makes love to your ear-hole!"
MONDAY THE 13th
= THE BIGGEST GOODIE BOX IN THE ADVENT CALENDAR!!

All about Little Dragon...
From Dog Day Press:
“Machine Dreams is a step into a world of multi-hued musical possibilities” 4/5 Mojo
“Superb second album… it’s magic” Dazed & Confused
“It’s not easy to pull off cerebral dance music… everything shimmers beguilingly”
Sunday Times
“One listen to Machine Dreams confirms that beneath the sweeping, scattershot electronic/analogue approach, Little Dragon’s heart beats faster than ever”
4/5 Mixmag
“Twisted electronic pop” 4/5 DJ
“Machine Dreams sees Little Dragon ditch their former ways in favour of a taut electro funk which falls somewhere between the nightmare electronics of Fever Ray and prime Prince… The result is an album packed with highlights that will light up the summer nights”
Music Week
“Like Hot Chip partying with Madonna… Machine Dreams hovers this close to genius”
8/10 Clash
The hugely in-demand Little Dragon announce their new single ‘Blinking Pigs’ on 1 November. This year has seen the Swedish band rise to meteoric levels of credibility, with artists and producers from Damon Albarn and David Sitek requesting collaborations, to great effect – Pitchfork said the band’s work with Gorillaz tracks ‘Empire Ants’ and ‘To Binge’ are “two of the most arresting things here; they’re airy, elusive and amazingly beautiful” – and lead singer Yukimi Nagano has appeared on Sitek’s acclaimed Maximum Balloon project due for release in September. Add to this high praise from such luminaries as Big Boi (who was recommended them by none other than Dr Dre) P Diddy, Wendy & Lisa, DJ Shadow and The Bug…. Little Dragon are clearly visionaries that are proving quite the flame for these idiosyncratic moths!
New single and live favourite ‘Blinking Pigs’ will prove to be their crossover moment as it fuses all that they do best. What seemingly opens up as a slinky and percolating electro pop moment, soon gives way to a chorus that burrows deep under the skin. Maybe this is why Damon is so smitten?
B-side exclusive is a remix of ‘Never Never’ by SBTRKT (who will be supporting Little Dragon at their Koko show) that keeps the loose fabric of the song but attaches a dub laden undercarriage of epic proportions. It is a superb bookend to his recent work on Tinie Tempah’s ‘Pass Out’ & M.I.A’s ‘XXXO’ and easily one of the remixes of the year.
As well as headlining Koko on 23 September, Little Dragon will be appearing with Gorillaz on their worldwide tour throughout October and November 2010.

••LITTLE DRAGON•• (Peacefrog / Sweden)
http://myspace.com/yourlittledragon
Aaaah! Is this the radioactive destructo-reptile Godzilla? The King of Monsters!? Nay, it’s Gothenburg’s biggest reptile: LITTLE DRAGON
...paddling over from Sweden to rape our dancing shoes and pillage our ear holes with beat-driving urbanized-countryside-style future-redefined-in-the-‘80s eclectic-electric RnB-soul-jazz.
It’s Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano and her partially bearded compatriots! And they’re rising faster than radioactive lizard soufflé!
WHAT’s THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOU REED, SNOOP DOGG, DE LA SOUL, THE CLASH’s MICK JONES & PAUL SIMONON and LITTLE DRAGON??
Answer: Only LITTLE DRAGON appear TWICE on GORiLLAZ latest album!
...they will also be appearing TWICE in Manchester as they shall later return alongside Mr. Albarn’s cartooned clan.
...and have written a beautiful track called “TWICE” to celebrate these two facts!

Riot Jazz Cafe ☭ Kendal Calling Festival 2010
• • • • • • • • • •
"Detective McBride rubbed his stinging eyes and looked over his blood-stained lapels to the pool of gasoline and rancid brandy that had been his bed for the night. Groaning, he sat up and struck a match off a sleeping elephant’s backside. He lit his lucky, inhaling deeply: “What the Scarface happened?”
At the Riot Jazz Cafe, anything is possible: a place of dreams and liquid wondermint. A place where the air is thick with the smog of pumping jazz, sweat beads cling to the walls like condensation on an ice-bucket in a Cuban brothel and an undulating mass of mammal flesh dance through the day and into the night, getting their kicks, before the morning comes and they back-track their steps down the road paved with bad intentions... The road to Riot Jazz."
• • • • • • • • • •
Enter a non-stop method re-enactment uncovering the 20th century’s most secret weekend...
Where East met West, organic met industrial, hooch met vodka, then met now as a time-travelling Soviet submarine rammed in to the most infamous gangland barrelhouse of 1930’s New York.
Three days, three nights... a tale of two sides.
By day things were as they were most. Lounging jazz and booming boogie woogie with the finest freak lips, finger zingers and hid hitters this side of Satan’s Kichen to get your jitterbugs jumping! Served hot with a side of mouth-watering munch from the Café’s award-winning bagels, panninis, steak sandwiches and other all-American delectables! Feed your soul and fill your gutbucket!
But as darkness fell the time-travelling Comrades would storm the stage… transforming the joint into a roaring battlefield of Klezmer, Balkan beats, dubstep and other sounds from the dance floors of the future... and each morning the daddy-o’s, hot jazz hipsters and beatniks fought back...
• • • • • • • • • •
“Drop in pal. What you wanna eat? Let me fix ya sumpin... it gets pretty hot in here.”

I get more props and stunts than Bruce Willis"
All suggestions welcome…
