Pussycat Residency Update...

The shortest residency in history? Well, probably not but pretty close.

The owners of the Purple Pussycat have decided that our music policy is a little too obscure for their clientele and we have agreed that rather than compromise our principles we would be happier if they employed DJ's who would be willing to play something mainstream to suit their customers requests.

Fair do's then as the last thing we want is to find ourselves being nagged to play filtered, funky house for 5hrs a time for a few measly quid, so stepping into the void will be the capable Silvestre who will be taking over as of the 12th December whilst we look for a new home for Close Encounters in the New Year.

Fear not as our friends over at Cosmic Disco are on hand to provide the stand out party of the Xmas period with Mark Seven flying over from Stockholm on the 27th December for what is a FREE PARTY! Be quick though as we are lead to believe they are already nearing full capacity.

Have a great Xmas and we will be back with party info soon but make sure to keep checking us in the meantime for weekly track uploads.

Marni - Marnimix

To help us kick off the christmas party season December's Close Encounters welcomes back Niles & baggy from the excellent Cosmic Disco and to celebrate, this week's track is one of their favourite records from 2008 in Marni's 'Marnimix' (Taken from the Issimo No.1 12") which is a oddball cover of Rod The God's 'D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?'

Hailing from Austria, Marni has been putting out stunning mixes under several guises of which you can sample a selection direct from his website - Marnimix. A rather elusive fellow with an obvious penchant for all things cosmic were very much looking forward to hearing more releases in the not so distant future.

Going back to our December party, you'll find us playing from 11pm - 4am on Friday 12th December at disco dive bar - Purple Pussycat where we hope you'll pop in for a glass of egg-nog, just ignore Niles if he decides to put some mistletoe above the DJ booth.

*Note* The guys over at Cosmic Disco are joining forces with Cut Loose on Saturday 27th December where they are flying over one of the most respected underground DJ's in the world right now in Mark Seven for a FREE PARTY @ Bookbinders, Manchester. They are installing a full Funktion 1 sound system with drinks promotions. As this is a free party, places are at a premium so if this sounds up your street get your free tickets from their Eventwax page ASAP!
