Star & Shadow Cinema is 20 years old this April 😩 Mad to think a community/co-op run venue could even last this long?! From purely a party club POV it’s got a mad legacy; the 2015 closing party at old venue stands out, Rimini nights hosting likes of The Hacker, Gesaffelstein (?!), the Creme / Bunker, Dutch crews. Alden Tyrell, TLR & Legowelt, Rude 66 et al Am trying to remember the others ?! Coldcut? DMX Krew ? Suono and Mark Seven ? The new venue carried on in much same tradition, wee bit more accessible, the big difference…… ownership of the building. Nights from @municipal_ncl @mememeparties @manpowermusic @shy.bairns Byker Groove @pokenewcastle @publichousehifi We’re gonna celebrate 20 years on Friday 17th April and it’ll be two rooms of action. Disk Jock rotation will include @richybrit , @doog_slo_motion and @mark_kenosist providing slo-mo action and visual treats in the cinema. Main room will be Municipal founders @lizgriffinmunicipal & @lew_is_griffin , @slacksradio and @thelubberfiend regular @ultimatejunk plus Road to Rimini alumni @worldisdiving and the ever reliable @586_records all providing the heat a steal at £8 advance tickets !!!?! tickets go to @starandshadow

Third in XX 7” lathe cut series on #signalsmmx Rare artefacts, sacred geometries and subtle textural cuts from a superlative line up of producers. XXiii is _DS, North Tyneside artist and creative polymath @dominicsmithstudio Dom has carved out such a unique and varied practice over the last 30 years it would be hard to pin it down in a couple of paragraphs. For many years he was known as Spoonbender, fashioning music with his gameboy and well known in the UK Chiptune scene of the 90s and early 2000s. Since the mid 2000s he’s been one half of the Fishery Commission ‘Whitley Bay’s finest purveyors of avant garde electronic pop music’ - think Erasure meets Fat Cat Spilt Series. As _DS Dom draws on field recordings, abstract textures, and generative music, exploring the spaces between noise and melody. For the lathe cut and extended bonus material he’s produced a series of luscious long and short form meditations; discreet, warm and dusty environments to immersive yourself into. Preorder link in bio, this is preorder to production, what gets ordered gets cut, no streaming, digital only with the physical, edition includes extended digital bonus. Preorder will be up for a month and then it closes for production. #signalsmmx
