CLUB TIP: Electric Soul Londinium at The Royal Inn on The Park
The Inn is just off the larger bit of Victoria Park and was a pretty average pub when I lived around the corner, but it has reinvented itself a bit since it started serving Pimms to the trendies, and as a result they are putting on a few events.
And this weekend's event should be awesome. The **Electric Soul
Crew are bringing down their team from Manchester and they have a peach of a line up: Compost records giant Rainer Truby**, the
Unabombers, Benji B (Gilles Peterson's sidekick) and my old mate Raf Rundell from Accidental Records - he was the Rocketscience
Media legend. Showcasing leftfield nu-soul, jazz, funk, disco, boogie and, of course, dope house (and whatever takes their fancy) it should be top, though sadly it only runs till midnight.
If you can't get down check Electric Soul Crew's mix album release at the end of May. It's very good.

CLUB TIP: Kill All Hippies at Canvas
Three quick things to say about the ever legendary Kill All
Hippies. Firstly, the latest edition is tonight and (as that classified ad above so charmingly informs you) you've got Whitey,
The Paddingtons, Moco and Gliss doing the live thing, with Eddy
TM, Jeff Automatic, Syrinx and the NME DJs on the decks. Secondly, the live sets from Whitey, Moco and Gliss will be recorded on the night and then available for download via the wonderful http://www.tunetribe.com from Sunday evening at 6pm (so if you can't make it in the real world, check it out in the virtual world). Thirdly and finally, there's some exciting news regarding
CMU's favourite London rock night - more on that on Tuesday.
Hurrah.
