I'm into hour 4 of my 6 hour Aaron Mossey marathon afternoon, lol 
I hope to make it and hang out in the front room all night!
FYI, System has just finished installing their new soundsystem in all the rooms. They got themselves a Dynacord Alpha, which is the same sound system found at Boa and The Docks.
Big Bass and Big Breaks on a Dynacord... it's a dream come true!
Get On The Guestlist Now!
^^^welcome to TA.
Definitely looking forward to some monster breaks on the new sound system! Hope to see you all there!

| Originally posted by SgtFoo the new sound system will sound better, but will not get anything close to the sheer quality of Boa or the Docks, simply because SystemS, is an acoustical mess with all it's naked concrete and wood. Still it's nice to know one of my favourite places is getting an upgrade |
i think ill want to check this out, need good breaks
Like tight, now I can her Freq Nasty ... instead of taking care of a room like LOLIII. Heard so much good things about Freq Nasty.
Congrats Aaron - 5 Hours WOW!
You can bet i'll be there.
FREQ NASTY (Skint, Distinctive, UK)
The artist known as FreQ Nasty has over the last few years become known as the man behind a unique sound, championed by producers and DJ's alike - the person most likely to pull dance music out of the occasional creative cul-de-sac it finds itself in once every few seasons.
Born in the pacific Island of Fiji but brought up even further round the world in New Zealand Darin's musical upbringing was by his own admission unique. Not so much because his parents were into anything drastically avant garde, but because being that far outside the UK he was afforded the opportunity of growing up without the snobbery that comes with this country's obsession with musical categorisation. You can see this 'across the board' influence throughout Darin's work.
These influences and ideas were finally cemented with the release of his debut album, an effective round-up of previous tracks 'FreQs, Geeks & Mutilations'.
FreQ. Nasty's debut single was the much championed 'Boomin' Back Atcha' - A mid-tempo stomper of a track complete with bleeps and voice snippets straight out of trashy 50's sci-fi movies. It fast became the stand-out feature of the more daring deck-wrecker's set.
It was with the follow-up 'Underglass' however that Darin really started to make some waves. Truly a filthy ****** of a record it was near pornographic in its pursuit of the perfect low down and dirty kick. Acid sounds bent out of shape coupled with super-tight percussion and breaks pinned down by the fierce low-end responses that subsequently have become the FreQ Nasty trademark. 'Underglass' tweaked the music press enough for them to run articles in Muzik, NME, Update, and Jockey Slut. The ball was starting to roll...
Just as Darin was starting to be labelled as a leader of Nu-Skool Breaks he slipped that pigeon-hole with the release of 'FreQ-a- Zoid', a blinding piece of robotic disco that convinced even the techno purists that FreQ Nasty was utterly right in his pursuit of machine funk. Part Kraftwerk, part Daft Punk, with a little piece of Jaques Lu Cont's electro cheek dropped in for balance, the cut rocked techno, house and hip hop floors alike. This came as no suprise to anyone that knew that FreQ also released techno records under various guises.
Meanwhile and on the sly and at the same time Darin also released the superb 'Funky as...' with studio partner BLIM on Adam Freeland's much respected Marine Parade label. The style was different but the results remained similarly devastating.
This was about the time that FREQ Nasty started picking up more DJ dates around the country as clubs started looking for something new to rock their crowds. Darin's sound was perfect- A more varied and eclectic soundtrack that still blew speakers. An early residency at Bryan G's seminal Movement night at London's Bar Rhumba club had taught Darin early on that the key to his success as a DJ relied very much on bass, it was just a matter of time till this sensibility was relocated to new dancefloors.
Since those days things have rocketed. He's resident DJ at Bugged Out! meets The Boutique at London's Fabric. He's a constant fixture at Boutique dates around the world and keeps floors jumping in France, Poland, Zurich, Finland, Holland, Singapore, Slovenia, even New York's Twilo. He's toured Australia extensively (finding time to play back in native New Zealand now and again) and has another Antipodean tour lined up for July this year. You should be able to catch the FreQ out a Creamfields festival this summer as well as Drum Rhythm in Holland.
As a remixer of other people's material FreQ Nasty has proven no slouch. To a lot of clubbers it was his and BLIM's bomb drop mix of Sousounde's 'Metisse' - where what starts as a crisp bassline evolves into a monstrous slab of distorted acid. The track became a huge hit from DJs like Sasha right through to the more underground Bugged Out types. This was followed by a highly liberal reworking of avante-composer Steve Riech's 'Desert Music'. Since then FreQ has mixed Westbam, Asian Dub Foundation, KRS-One and hip hopper Mystikal.
2000 saw FreQ leave the consistantly supportive Botchit & Scarper for a new label- Brighton's Skint Records home to artists as diverse as X-Press 2 and Fatboy Slim. As if to show people changing labels wasn't going to change him Darin released his roughest release to date the agenda setting 'That's My Style!' which welded tough rap samples with crisp up-tempo breaks and an ascending bass-line that once again flirted with acid distortion. The record that almost broke Fabric nightclub. Further tracks such as 'Amped' and 'Transforma' confirm that consistency is another one of Darin's skills.
Aaron Mossey spining for 5 hrs will be a treat for sure ... he's TOTA's DAMAJA!
DANJA!
Aaron - Have a wonderful night and congrats again on the residancy!

K-SWING
K-Swing (AKA Katie Kabel) is one of the freshest new faces on the American clubbing circuit. Leading the next generation of "it" American-born DJs, Katie is making a name for herself with a style that far removed from the norm playing the hottest breakbeat tracks on the planet with fresh and exciting sounds, youthful enthusiasm, passion, charisma and a "sixth sense" for what the dance floor craves. She knows exactly how to move a crowd and keep bodies covered in sweat, begging for the next massive record.
While her DJ career is still young, she has already achieved a level of success that most DJs wait a lifetime for. In 2003, she opened up for Josh Wink, toured with Adam Freeland (arguably the world�s finest breaks DJ / producer) and played at Paul Oakenfold�s annual WMC Perfecto Party.
So far in 2004, she�s played a series of dates with Sandra Collins and opened for The Chemical Brothers. Already a fan favorite, Katie has played at some of North America�s finest clubs, including Buzz (Washington, D.C.), Centro-Fly (NYC), Club Space (Miami), Avalon (NYC and L.A.), Sonar (Baltimore), The Church (Denver), System Soundbar (Toronto), Stereo (Montreal) and Quest Club (Minneapolis.) Topping it all off, she was nominated (along with respected artists Behrouz, Gabriel & Dresden, The Scumfrog and Carl Kennedy) for the Best Breakthrough DJ Award at the 2004 Dancestar USA : American Dance Music Award Show. Katie has also been featured in the pages of top dance and lifestyle magazines including URB, DJ Mag (Adam Freeland called Katie "Best undiscovered DJ"), Teen Vogue and Loft.
The arts have always been at the center of Katie�s life. Growing up in New Jersey, she spent over 20 years of her life as a classically trained singer and dancer, and currently teaches jazz, ballet, and modern dance. As a teenager, her continuous thirst for music and motion propelled her into the dance community, where she was drawn to the sounds of break beat for its deep, funky and rhythmic bass lines. Katie found it to offer the most freedom of movement, interpretation and self-expression of all forms of dance music. With her fast-improving DJ skills and her passion for music and dance (not to mention her beauty and natural charisma), Katie started playing regularly at some of the East Coast�s (and particularly New York City�s) top nightclubs and parties. This brings us to the present, where K-Swing is no longer just a favorite in the east, but has also made some serious noise across the entire nation.
With her killer DJ sets making a major splash, and production work in the pipeline, it�s just a matter of time before K-Swing reaches the superstar level.
