Decked Out, the pioneering DJ/artist agency that launched in London in 2000, celebrates its 10th anniversary with what is sure to be the party of the decade with a line up that features Justice, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize, Dave Clarke and Crookers amongst many others.

Party promoters Bugged Out conceived the idea of Decked Out towards the end of 1999 and it is Decked Out’s first lady Martje Kremers’ roster that forms the line up for the party at the Coronet on February 5th. And what a line up! Most of the DJ’s will be playing either special sets or joining forces. In the main room Justice’s Xavier will play with Erol Alkan, Busy P from Ed Banger is playing a special French Touch set, Crookers are playing techno, Dave Clarke electro and Boys Noise & DJ Mehdi are playing vinyl only. Brodinski will hook up with DJ Feadz and The Glimmers and Aeroplane are already perfectly formed duos and the spectacularly named Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo from The Bloody Beetroots will conclude the night. In room 2 are Headman, JoJo De Freq, Rory Phillips, Midfield General, Mickey Moonlight and Decked Out’s first signing Justin Robertson.

All DJ’s will also all be giving up their fees as all proceeds from this special night will go towards local charity Kids Company.

In Flagranti presents: Electric Fling from Rory Phillips on Vimeo.

Out now on Codek, ‘In Flagrati presents: Electric Fling’ is the result of a jam session during a dinner party in London sometime in January 2009. As we were banging on cowbells and twisting knobs on a synth, it was all recorded onto multitrack. After the session, the assembled players, myself, G & S and In Flagranti each had a copy of the recording and made their own individual track. The results are now available on 12″ or on digital from Juno and Beatport.

‘Bangkok’ by Boris Dlugosch is the latest release on Phantasy. Already a staple in Erol Alkan’s recent club sets, ‘Bangkok’ has been one of the most enquired about records in recent memory. You can listen to a preview on the Phantasy Myspace and buy it from Beatport here! x
