The influence that the London based Hessle Audio imprint has had on the wider music scene has never really been more apparent. Evident most in the sounds adopted by their fans and followers after Pangaea’s work got even more rugged, following on from Pearson Sound exploring 808 drum packs in his productions and Ben UFO exploring deep crates of house and techno in his DJ sets and shows on Rinse FM; the fact they manage to maintain such a stringent and principal outlook in all of their collected output elevates them as a crew for a lot of music fans. Their residencies here have been no exception with a clear and palpable level of excitement surrounding the guests they choose to book and the way the trio present them amidst a flurry of breath-taking DJ sets.

Launched at the start of this year, our new artist led record label, Houndstooth, has so far only been home to work from Berlin resident, Call Super and the new artistic guise of Dylan Richards, House of Black Lanterns, but we’re launching the label proper in Room Two with performances from the entire roster for 2013, almost. Two live performances from HoBL and Throwing Snow will come flanked by DJ sets from the mysterious and heavy set dancefloor collective, Akkord, Bristolian producer Al Tourettes, Call Super and the world exclusive outing of Paul Woolford under his Special Request guise. It’s a launch party that we hope outlines a little bit of our immediate future as we work to align a group of artists whose work continues to inspire and excite us.

Idle Hands makes the return trip up the M4 to takeover Room Three for the second time bringing the close knit group of artists who populate the label and the record shop of the same name on Stokes Croft in Bristol onto the London stage. Kowton, a lad who’s fast becoming famous for his fusion of grime sounds and techno mentality, tops the bill with Manchester exports Alex Coulton and AnD joining the mysterious Rhythmic Theory and two of Bristol most prized and eclectic selectors, The Kelly Twins behind the turntables.
