CATZMUZIK @ AQUARIUM, FRI 16 May.

MARC ROMBOY / ANDRE CROM / DAN CATZ / AND MORE.

It's part minimal, part old-school Classic Records - a label that throws curveballs at the dancefloor to see what sticks.  The brainchild of London party heroes the Catz (AKA the Cheshire Catz), the Catzmuzik label has fans from Justin Martin to Italoboyz to Hannah Holland to Simon Baker - each one of whom sent back exactly the same reaction to the last Catz track, Straitjacket - "I love it".  (OK, we exagerate - Simon said only, "Ooh yeah, I really like this".  But he's Northern.)

And so now it's the first Catzmuzik party.  Following on from being made Mixmag Future Heroes, their residency at the Veryverywrongindeed afterhours, and the Catz own insane "Cheshire St parties" - the second last of which had 1500 people crammed into four flats off Brick Lane, and spontaneously formed its own taxi rank, and the last of which was one of the most insanely rammed of the final months of much-missed venue the Key - this time round the Catz are focusing on their own sound.   With raves from Sasha to Claude von Stroke to James Zabiela, Radioslave to Audiofly, Ralph Lawson to Sebastien Leger, Tom Stephan to Funk D'Void, it's a wonky new stripped-back UK template for house that DJ magazine described as "taking acid, electro, techno and trancey influences and build it all together with a view to creating mass hysteria".

LAUNCH PARTY WITH GUESTS...

MARC ROMBOY
He calls it "electronic music with a certain breakdance appeal" - but it's made him one of the most established names in electronic music.  A regular at Watergate, Monza and Cocoon, he's also an one of the busiest producers around - head of the Systematic Records label, with a new album, Contrast, out soon, and a regular collaborator with huge names like Stephan Bodzin, Gui Borrato, Blake Baxter, and Chelonis R Jones...

ANDRE CROM

A regular on the London afterhours scene, Germany's Andre Crom is one of the fastest-rising DJs in techno.  From his bleepy releases on Heimatmelodie to his nastier tracks on Veryverywrongindeed Recordings (and a great remix on Catzmuzik), he's also a regular on Sender, Memo and Leftroom - and a favourite of Madga and Richie Hawtin.

DAN CATZ

The deeper and darker of the Catz duo, Dan Catz is about to release a string of singles on Catzmuzik - collaborations with dub KULT, Olivier Giacomotto, Timo Garcia and remixes of two major-label guitar bands to go with Claude von Stroke favourite "Dunewalker", including in a recent Mixmag cover CD.  That's alongside the Catz existing catalogue - remixes on Germany's BluFin, the US's Black Van, a remix of perennial faves Coldcut for the Ninja Tunes, and tracks on Berwick St, FAKT, Playtime and a Radio 1 Essential new tune with "Discotech".

BIG DADDY

The man behind Playtime, Big Daddy ran the night that first bought now huge underground names like Claude von Stroke and Abe Duque to the UK, and launched the Playtime label that made Mike Monday the UK's king of wonky house.  His new night, NO!, is a nu-queer Shoreditch extravagnza dedicated to the destruction of Vauxhall and the freeing of sheep-brained gays from the tyranny of disco house.

Future Foundations: Working to bring a better future through music

HOUSE I TECHNO I ELECTRO I BREAKS

Guests: Tom Real, The Rogue Element, Aquasky, Aiden Lavelle (Unkle) + many more

+ Big Prize Raffle including Glade Festival Tickets, Corona Mountain Bike & more

There are well over 200 night clubs in London and every weekend they provide a haven for tens of thousands of party goers to cut loose, express themselves, blow off some steam from dusk until the early morn. Future Foundations is here to bring another dimension to the party and harness the energy created and impact our community. All proceeds from the launch of Future Foundations will go towards The Synergy Centre in Camberwell which is desperately seeking funding to continue their great work within the community.

The Synergy Centre in Camberwell for the last three years has been working to engage neighboring communities experiencing economic disadvantage and high levels of antisocial behaviour amongst young people. The centre has three great spaces for community groups, professional arts companies and informal creative education projects to attract the interest of local, hard to reach young people. The centre provides access to music, dance, art, training and education and gives local young people an opportunity to express themselves. They are in great need of financial support to keep the centre running and continue with the remarkable work they have been doing over the last three years.

<> The intention of Future Foundations is not just to raise money for the charity but to raise awareness, inspire all those involved with the evening and show that with a little bit of effort and sense community we can make a real difference.
