We all know by now Filth don’t muck about: Just because

it’s the New Year, when clubs traditionally churn out the

residents and little else, that doesn’t mean Filth are leaving

you out in the cold. Instead, they’ve got what could already

be one of the party’s of the year planned on Jan 9th when

2009 breakthrough gem Riva Starr stops by to launch his

new album… January blues? Ha! Not at Filth…

In less than 12 months Riva Starr has risen to prominence

after storming releases like his ‘Thizzle’/’China Gum’ 12″

for Jesse Rose’s Frontroom Recordings. Then came the

‘Scratch ‘n’ Itch’ EP for Fatboy Slim’s imprint, Southern

Fried, before he hit the Beatport top ten with ‘La Conga EP’

for Claude Vonstroke’s Dirtybird Label. After such a solid

start in the production arena it’s no wonder Riva now has a

full album of weekend weapons all to himself, the likes of

which are likely to receive as much support as his early

work did, such is their freshness. From thumping, tribal

rhythms, to Latin vocals, flowery percussion via house

sensibilities and tech-y dance floor dynamite, Riva has

many strings to his bow and is likely to call on them all

come Jan 9th.

If that’s not enough Oliver $ is also set to play, along with

the always energetic and never predictable Filth residents

we all know and love, Eddi, Jamie and rising house talent

Will Matui, as well as King Tut & The Wookie and Lee-

Michael Kelsall.

Oliver $ has remixed house talents like Jesse Rose, Justin

Martin and Armand van Helden, has had his tracks licensed

to Get Physical compilations and has played Fabric such are

his skills. His productions have also made it on to Jesse

Rose’s Made to Play label (an imprint known releasing

tracks aimed squarely at the dance floor) and he is also

resident at the World’s Number 1 club – Panorama in

Berlin. Mr. $ has already earned himself a valuable name

among current scene leaders like Claude von Stroke,

Derrick Carter and Ricardo Villalobos for his consistent

quality and light-hearted approach, so Filth are proud to

have him.

So, burn off some of those festive calories with a damn

good dance floor workout alongside a packed club of

brightly coloured, high spirited Filth ravers.

Let’s start the year as we mean to go on: in style.
