Edinburgh’s Progression is reaching its fifth birthday and, rather than just asking a few guests to join them, they are taking it to the next level with a one-off Edinburgh Art College date, 24 September, with over 20 DJs over ten hours. Names include Layo & Bushwackal, Martin Solveig, Justin Robertson and Nic Fanciulli plus loads more, as well as a healthy showing from the Edinburgh scene.
There‘s this wee thing called T in the Park on this fortnight. You might of heard of it (see feature page 24 for more info and Slam interview). Alongside the usual dance tents this year's T will see a new feature with a Silent Disco. To tackle the problems of licenses and neise restrictions. each punter will be lSSLJed a set of headphones on entry with a choice of DJS playing live (the Silent Disco playing an eclectic mix up or Virgin Radio's John Osborne playing party Classics) so they can party on.
And as usual, some young whippersnappers by the name of Slam will be brewing up a storm in their rather fucking cool dance tent. Black Strobe are one of the acts putting in a dex & FX show and one half of Black Strobe is none other than Ivan Smagghe (pictured), who has just had a new mix CD out on Fabric. We have five to give away and as a cheeky wee bonus we also have five copies of Scratch Perverts’ new Fabric mix. So if you want a double bill of Fabric mixes send an email marked ‘FABRIC’ with your name and address to promotions@list.co.uk by no later than 20 July.
