"The annual list of the world's 50 best restaurants was unveiled in London tonight, containing some unpalatable news for those in the UK's culinary scene – and a new No 1. Just three UK restaurants made it on to the list, the publication of which is one of the biggest events in the food world's calendar.

J'aime Bien Les Party Harders

Liege Toxcity is not known as such because it is the ideal getaway for young neo-conservative newlyweds.    Non!  Liege is the home to one of the most extreme art and party scenes in Europe, and the Partyharders are the cordon bleu.

Dazed Digital speak to boy wonder Swindle. Airmiles drops Monday!

Swindle is working hard to define a current UK sound that seems to evade definition at every corner. After turning heads with his remix of Terror Danjah's dirty grime banger 'Zumpi Hunter' – an exercise in modern electronic madness akin to Joker - he rapidly switched direction with his two most recent releases, the ‘Who Made Funk’ EP and ‘Airmile’s EP. His own take on the funky house sound is on full display on Who Made Funk, and features collaborations with vocalists Shea Soul, A.L and Nadia Sulliman amongst others. Whilst the smoothness that flows throughout ‘Who Made Funk’ evokes a soulfulness akin to more commercial club releases, his brand new ‘Airmiles’ EP feels like a more personal experiment. An entirely instrumental endeavour, ‘Airmiles’ smashes driving garage into filthy basslines that will leave enough heads ringing to ensure heavy club rotation once it drops on April 26th.

Vybz Cartel: 'Tek Buddy Gyal' (Slick Dixxx Remix)

 Attracted to the social message intertwined within the lyrics of Vybz Cartel's medium-length rasper, I have decided to distract the listener from the verbs and nouns with a large variety of extra noises that should please minds and motivate rumps

Charity Begins On Sunday

Philanthopist souls with an affiction for nu pop-art and skateboards might do well to inform theyselves of a charity auction organised by Howies of Bristol.

Say they:

"The howies shop on Queens Road, Bristol will be holding an exhibition of rare, original vintage skateboards through the ages, from the private collection of Shiner Distribution.

"Also, we asked a bunch of our favourite artists to create some one-off hand decorated boards that could be auctioned off to raise funds for Unicef.

"We gave each of them an original 1980s blank deck from Shiners’ private collection and let them
do their thing.

"The results are a showcase of their unique take on what the skateboard and skateboarding means to them.

"Nobody got paid for the work they did. They all gave up their time, sweat, paint and ink voluntarily for the cause, so hats off to them for that.

"You can bid for the boards on eBay when the auction begins on 16th April 2010 at 6pm.

"All proceeds go to Unicef."

Moments In Scall

This is my new section where I will daringly expose those occasional glorious moments in time where Scall discos up and down the country get it right and get down, seemingly through no fault of their own, to a genuine banger-langer.

Ladies and Gentlespuds, I give you "Up Middle Finger".

Weekend Weekly Wild Week Wig Out

This is a bit of a curveball but aside from your other wig-outs this weekend, get your wig around this event.

Saturday April 17th is Record Store Day.  This years' patron is Queens of the Stone Age uber-ginge Josh Homme, who has provided this footage to promote the event:

This thing got up and rolling in 2007 at independent shops in the US, and is now linked with some shops in the UK too.  Expect Spain to catch on in about 2087.  Anyway, various special events take place in record shops all about the place, including the usual DJs, corn dogs, body painting and limited edition pressing release party jump-off wig-outs that hairy backpackers can dream up to encourage outsiders into their musty lairs on a Saturday afternoon.

This weekend, I say, forget about an MP3 and go and cop yourself a real-life tactile piece of music from a shop around your way, regardless of if they even know about this special day.  When that moody twat condecendingly hands you your change you can shed him some light on the occasion and maybe he'll be better prepared for next year, saving the soul of the industry in the process.

Cocktail Of Intricate Darkness

Two worlds collide to leave us with a modern masterpiece to keep your week rolling on...

Weekly West-Country Weekend Wig Out Of The Week!

So Razz seem to be trying to muscle in on the bass game los jueves, with a few quality city nights attracted by the reliable management and familiar setting, including dubstep juggernauts B.Low.

I feel embarrassed to say that I have yet to darken their door, but tonight the duck shall be boken as we go and represent for the team, with the soundtrack provided by a Punch Drunk upstart who goes by the name of Peverelist.

Those familiar with Guido will already have an idea of which way the night is headed, luxurious textures and post-Armageddon basslines order of the day, and enough organic percussion to keep the dancefloor rolling along.

This is nothing frantic, all about the craft and the mood, just what I personally am after after the last few weeks.  Reach!

Wild Ass Weekly Weekend-Long Wig Out

Discos Paradiso is a brave new venture about to test the waters of the vinyl-buying public in Barnaland.  I have high hopes for them.  They have the taste (illustrated in their blog), the location, the local connex and the space, as we will see tomorrow (Friday) night!

All down to the shop then fairly early, 2100 say, for drinkies, finger-food and Sinapsis BCN Soundsystem all up in the mini-gig spot they got tucked all up in the back of the shop.

The after party be at BeCool, the best thing about Pedrables, where one of our close personal favourites Chelis will be all up in the mix.  To remind your head how that might sound, let me refer you back to the funk mix from hell that he put together for Desparrame a while ago.

Get loose.
