United DJ's from Scratch & Funk Royale: Richy Pitch (Gorillaz Sound
System), Matt Smooth and Mr Chex (Funk Royale) and host MC Tukka
What a wicked start we had last month, with Mo Kolours playing a deep set on stage.
This month we have the seriously talented (and underrated) Royalty, aka
east London duo Chesca and Elliott Yorke whose music is released by the
badda than bad Five Easy Pieces.
Their latest EP, 'Purple
Nights', demonstrates the rapid maturity of their suave, electrofunky
digital boogie. XLR8R described them very well:
'Somewhere in
between Daft Punk's robotic revelry, Kraftwerk's chilly minimalism, and
Jimmy Edgar's austere sex appeal, you'll find Royalty's Chesca and
Elliot Yorke working out deep low-end melodies, incessant dance rhythms,
alien vocoder sounds, and icy synthlines - all of which perfectly
create the duo's retro-futuristic motif.'
And don't forget
the Royalty flexi-disc which B-Side are giving away to the first 100
people through the door. Get down early to pick up September's exclusive
edition'.
