COMPETITION: Win Brainfeeder London Tickets

Its impossible to stress how much fun I've had at Brainfeeder parties over the last couple of years. The first one in the Hearne Street carpark in Shoreditch was mental; simultaneous proof that this toxic stew of skewed hip hop has a voice beyond small basement clubs and evidence that whiskey maketh the man crazy. The next one I attended was in Barcelona, a first night pre-cursor to my first Sonar experience... crazy rammed, hot as hell and super super fun... I remember Martyn b2b Pinch.

Damn.

So, this post gives me double the pleasure to be able to give away a pair of tickets to next week's Brainfeeder LDN event at fabric. With the combined pull of Brainfeeder and the Red Bull Music Academy, the incredible initiative currently beginning term 2 today, you can scoop the opportunity to see Flying Lotus, Kode 9, The Mother Fucking Gaslamp Killer, Martyn, J Rocc, Dimlite, Daedelus, Nosaj Thing and TOKiMONSTA all on fabric's custom tweaked soundsystem.

Just email us the answer to the below question.

Q: Flying Lotus' debut album on the Plug Research label was called:

A) 1983
B) 1982
3) 1984

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

EVENT: RBMA presents Brainfeeder London

After twitter ruminations and rogue facebook updates broke the news of an imminent 2010 Brainfeeder LDN showcase - the two previous events were held at a warehouse location in Shoreditch - we're happy to be able to confirm that, yes, the Flying Lotus helmed Brainfeeder family is traversing the oceans and once again coming to London this March.

With the presence of the Red Bull Music Academy weighing heavy on our nation's capital this month, FlyLo has teamed up with the RBMA crew to bring his label's party to fabric on the 10th March.

Featuring a factual whos who in instrumental hip hop, the line up is hands down, jawdropping. Dimlite - the originator - alongside the only man alive capable of playing a micro korg with a shoe and making it sound beautiful, Dorian Concept, alongside future dubstep masters Kode 9 and Martyn, plus the bountiful energetics of Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus and J Rocc. Topped and tailed by Warp's wonderboy Flying Lotus (whose 2nd LP for the label, 'Cosmogramma,' is due around Easter time) and former Sonic Router mix giver (thats the official title of all SR featured artists), Tokimonsta.

So to recap, that's:

Flying Lotus (Warp/Brainfeeder)
Kode9 (Hyperdub)
The Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder)
Martyn (3024)
J.Rocc (Beat Junkies)
Dorian Concept (Kindred Spirits)
Dimlite (Now-Again)
Daedelus (Brainfeeder/Ninja Tune)
Nosaj Thing (Alpha Pup)
TOKiMONSTA (Brainfeeder)

All on the one night. From 9pm - 3am. 6 hours, 10 DJs.
