awesome time!

His recent set for the Mary Anne Hobbs show went down really well, and for those
that missed it, you can download an archive of the show from:

Heres my blurb of Hot City from the website:
"Hot City melds together his love of UK and US dance music, taking cues from
UKG/2Step and early rave, splicing it with the raw energy of early chicago,
detroit and new york house music; aiming straight at the dancefloor, his heavily
swung rhythms, shuffling snares and tight edits roll with deep bass punch and
classic synth stabs, at once evoking memories of bygone eras, yet absorbing
contemporary production and memes to create some wholly modern steppa's!"

Couple of seasonal gigs coming up in the lead-up to the holidays too..

this saturday, we'll be taking over The Foundry, on Old Street, London, for the
evening; we being myself, Hot City, and Mat/Spatial. Should be a messy one!
Right aferwards, Actress is playing at FWD>>, so we'll be round there to follow
it up!

Coming up on tuesday, 16th December, we'll be back in Cafe Oto, Dalston, this
time for our xmas party proper - Keung/Mandelbrot and John Eden (uncarved.org)
will be DJing first, then live sets from Love's Tru Flavour and Hot City. Free
entry and free records, plus movies and Sierra Nevada beer too! come along, it
should be really good.

Aiight, well, think thats about it for the year - have an excellent holiday
season! I'll leave you with a parting gift - i've uploaded one of our classic
old albums, n.Ln's 'Astronomy For Children', now exactly 5 years old (shite,
we're getting old!), and awarded the BBC Experimentals' album of the month in
january 2004. Grab here:
