All round music don Throwing Snow is playing alongside a pretty heavy crew over at Notting Hill Arts Club this Friday. Their monthly bass night, Talking At Me – consistently held down with style by Rita Maia and Coby1 – has put together their finest lineup to date (present company excluded 🙂 ) to be headlined by Ben Westbeech (aka Breach) with Funkinevin also in capacity. Check out the press release below for more details, or the flyer above for the short version.

Producer and vocalist Ben Westbeech is refreshingly hard to pin down. His acclaimed debut album in 2007 mixed soul, jazz, drum ‘n’ bass, and breakbeats. He made one of the finest cutting-edge club tracks of last year – ‘Fatherless’, released under his Breach alias – and he’s currently busy putting the finishing touches to a new LP for the legendary house label Strictly Rhythm. His new single, ‘Fallin’ is out now and the album, ‘There’s More To Life Than This’, is set for release in April featuring an all-star cast of collaborators including Henrik Schwarz, Soul Clap, MJ Cole, Cosmin TRG and Motor City Drum Ensemble… As if that wasn’t enough, he’s also a seriously good DJ!
Funkineven has been blowing up over the past year. A real connoisseur of club music he always digs that bit deeper with a sound that references acid house, Detroit techno, ’90s garage and beyond, fusing it all with his own unique style. Currently signed to Alex Nut and Floating Point’s Eglo label his latest twelve, ‘Heartpound’, made it into Bleep’s top 100 of 2010 and his DJ services are heavily in demand.
Throwing Snow has been receiving great reviews for his releases on labels such as Alex Nut’s Ho Tep. His productions may be considered difficult to label – a sort of broken dubstep with more psyched-out textures and heavy bass lines – but 2010 was a particularly good year with the release of the widely-acclaimed Gold Panda’s remix of ‘Snow and Taxis’ and his most recent single, ‘Align’ on Super Recordings. Listen out for his most recent project, Snow Ghost, on the Black Acre label.
