There was some talk about Akufen on the list recently, so I thought this might be of interest to London 313ers, once you wade through all the blather. By the way, I reckon Akufen's remix of Cabaret Voltaire's 'Nag Nag Nag' (out soon on Mute) is the remix of the year so far.

Marc made his UK live debut at Fabric earlier this Summer, which saw the main room crowd going ape to his stomping butchered samplefest. Whilst the more perceptive punter may have already been savvy to his unique sound, his profile in this country has gone from strength to strength since this initial appearance - owing to the release of his massively acclaimed 'My Way' album, which has earned him a 'Best Newcomer' nomination at this year's Muzik magazine Awards. Many people have enquired as to when Akufen will be performing again in London, so I'm pleased to announce this exclusive appearance. Check the details: Sizzler 02: The Homecoming Guys and Gals, hot damn, Rizla and Wall of Sound have travelled throughout the summer spreading the word of Sizzler far and wide. At Glastonbury we kicked some ass in the Rizla Café with Full Cycle, then we jumped back on the bus (okay.plane, it's a long way you know) and headed for Scotland. The tickets in Glasgow had gone in record time. It took only 6 days for 1500 to be snatched up. Might have had something to do with the presence of Jacques Lu Cont on the line-up me thinks. So Scotland was bonnie and Glastonbury was.well.just beautiful.man. So now Ladies and Gents we return triumphantly on August 30th to London's Brick Lane. Mullet land. Home of the daft. And to celebrate we are rollin' into town on the Ho Down trail. Prepare yo'self for some genuiiiine Deep South shenanigans. Classic and Illicit will be joining us and the Wall of Sound boys, to bring you the best from London's independent record labels. You can expect deep dirty house, hippity hip-hop and in the We Love You Loft, well.anything really. It should keep you kickin' up yo' heels through the night. In the Main Room Luke Solomon & Kenny Hawkes - West London Deep - Tiefschwarz Trainer Boy & very special guest Akufen (live) In the Bad Magic Bar (Hosted by Tony Rotton a.k.a.
