Summer greetings music lovers!

Out RIGHT NOW on Artizan Music, our next 12":
 
The long awaited 'Undeniable Truth' features legendary New Jersey wordsmith Rich Medina. Produced by Jafar & Touch, it follows up their Marcus Begg penned 'Desertlands' project very nicely (Hustle Music). Check out a sample on this very page (See right). Dj Support has been very strong across the board: Jimpster, Fred Everything, Asad Rizvi, Jt Donaldson, Jake Childs, Kerri Chandler, Poussez, Pete Tong, Dj Spen etc. Next up we proudly bring you UK House legends Terry Farley, Dave Jarvis and Uschi Classen (Blackscience Orchestra) under their collective new alias 'The Smoke'; The deeply electronic 'Bone Sucking Sauce' hits shops September, with a quality package of remixes from Jafar & Touch, Funky Transport and Croatia's Blacksoul!!!

We also continue on our quest to bring back the deep to London's Sundays. 'Uptownboogiedown' our monthly collaboration with 4bit Art&Music rolls on. The next event is the big one SUNDAY AUGUST 24TH - AT THE NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL! Featuring Artizan's main men Jafar, Maxime Cescau, Andy Touchfingers, Lil Dom and a special guest appearance from Carnival's own Keith 'KCC' Franklin.  Jafar will be performing for KCC SOUNDSYSTEM at Carnival during the day, so we proudly showcase KCC at UTBD afters. As one of the three largest House rigs at Carnival (alongside Sancho Panza and Good Times), KCC are as much a part of it as the rice and pea so don't miss that one!!!! Early arrival to the Arts Club is strongly advised as it was one in one out by 6.30pm last year!!  To see just exactly what craziness you're in for, check out the pics in our forum, read the reviews from Time Out in the press section or  simply go to www.uptownboogiedown.com

Looking ahead at the other highlights over the summer: Andy Touchfingers showcases his mad keys skills on tour in Italy for the next three weeks, Jafar continues his residency at The End / AKA, whereby his next appearance at The Players is on Tuesday 12th August. He also headlines for Tenerife's annual 'Inspiracion' Festival to 5000 music lovers in the tropical sunshine!! If you fancy an away trip thats August 1st-3rd. Contact us for further info!
