★ MADAME ELECTRIFIE – AKA DJ Little Jo has been DJing breaks, electro and techno for over eight years across the country.
Taking this experience and introduce the vintage edged sounds of Electro Swing, and some crazy showgirl-clad glitter fuelled antics,
and Madame Electrifie is born. It’s the glamour of the 20’s meets the filth of the 00’s. Where swing meets synth, and big band meets bass...

Sweet, last Friday of the Month?  Good to see some nights popping up, we'd planned to move In Full Swing here seeing as I was back in the city but probably lucky it fell through as plenty going on now from the sounds of it.

There's plenty of things going on this end for sure, BIG acts at Cosies. Next there is tomorrow, but after that is April 12th. Check our Facebook (www.facebook.com/circoswing) or the Catgroove page (www.facebook.com/catgroovebristol) for more details

Ah shame, I'm playing out of town or would be there.  When's the next one? Will remember to keep it free.

Monthly at Cosies, and we might be at The Lanes in June.

Bump for tonight. Come get your Lindy Hop dance on and enjoy some live music and circus entertainment.

[MAX PASHM]

This time last year was our first outing at Blue Mountain, since then as a collective we have performed at some our favourite festivals and events across the country, and we will be again in 2013. This party marks our first birthday, and to celebrate this we have invited one of the main inspirations for starting the project in the first place. It’s been a long time coming, but finally we welcome back to Bristol the one and only Max Pashm! A Co-Founder of the world famous Electro Swing Club and a purveyor of Electro Swing, Gypsy Breaks and Balkan Beats comes to Cosies Wine Bar for a very special evening of music, circus and walkabout.

Help us make this an event to remember and invite anyone you think might be interested. This is the first of many to come!

You can't go 4 am at the Attic

You can once every now and then, we did a few months back. Ask Vikki if you can go until 4am, explain your situation and I'm sure the Attic will host it for you. It's also cheap to hire.

Hi there,

We run the only dedicated Electro Swing night in Bristol at the moment called Prohibition with the likes of Chris Tofu (electro swing god).  If you are interested, get in touch.  Cheers, Mark

'the only'? when's that on next? We know Chris well and haven't seen his name about for anywhere here?

bring on the chris tofu beef

No beef with Chris Tofu, the man's done good by us.

Thanks all, have passed on the address of this thread, so it's in Gabi's hands now - knew there'd be a good lead here!

Interested, check the links in my signature, see if we fit the bill. We have performers who do routines to the music, but have been getting a lot of DJ bookings recently and are currently producing our own electro swing.

The music behind the circus has been getting a revamp over the past few months, and here's the first clip of our first EP. The as yet untitled EP will include various forms of the genre known as 'electro swing'. To us, this term (electro swing) is an umbrella term used to describe the result of mixing different forms of electronic music with swing and jazz samples. This being said, expect everything from raw hip-hop beats, fast electro breaks and everything in between smashed together with a varied selection of swing and jazz numbers. This is a remix using samples from Dumbo, enjoy!

Any feedback welcome

More clips to follow, and we're aiming to release the full EP for download in early 2013.

We know him, PM me

Just saw this and it made me think of this thread...

Grounded on Church Road to great vegan pizzas.

Is the yoda show not at Lakota then?

Sorry yes Lakota!! My bad!!

Was gonna say, that lineup at STB!? wow!

But yes, I am getting tickets for this

Is the yoda show not at Lakota then?

yer that was a good n. James brown was on fiyah! Download is the liveliest festival ever been too still - love it

One of the best live performances I've ever seen!

what's been your favourite year? Download was a suprisingly good antidote for lack of pilton farm action this year.

Glasto? 2004 man, epic year! I don't do metal festivals anymore lol

But Shambala has a more of an early days of Glasto feel to me

early days glasto you wouldn't have even been born yet young Jude!

fleetwood mac  

Fair point Nil, however I've been going to Glastonbury every year pretty much since 1988 but friends of mine have been going from day one, and speaking to them they say Shambala's like how it used to be back in the late 70's / early 80's.

Did anyone who went to this do Boomtown as well?

I've heard that comparitively, it was shite.

Was looking at next year.

I did both, it's not shit in comparison just very different. Boomtown this year had 30,000 people, Shambala was 8,000 or so. It's a lot more relaxed then Boomtown, it's a nice break after the chaos of Boomtown.

Cheers man.

I get the impression it's a slower pace than boomtown - which is not to everyones taste. Since writing this had a few more even reports.

Will have to see what it's all about next year!

Yeah it's not so much an 'all out party' festival, I mean there are things like the Police Rave Unit, and the UFO stage blaring out bass until the early hours. But Shambala has a more of an early days of Glasto feel to me, nice healing fields and big open spaces to chill out in. And hot tubs.

Started the festival by being invited to the hot tubs by four hot hippy girls camped next to us, it just got better from there! Big love to you Shambala, 'til next year!
