Moving into 2009 your comrades at Moskow Diskow have decided to take the opportunity to showcase the breadth of their love for electronic music of the past, present, and future by starting with a techno hootenanny banger…
We are enormously happy to announce the arrival of special guest Warp DJ and producer Tom Hopkins, famous for his remixes for the likes of Hot Chip and Jamie Lidell. Stepping up with him we have the delectable Mr. Simon Shelley all the way from Holland. A firm Moskow Diskow favourite on the decks Simon produces his own unique brand of quirky melodic techno under the Tennis alias, and we expect to hear a show case of his latest material all for you dear comrades. As if that wasn’t enough we’ve also got Semi-Squared, head honcho of Pollinate Records. A former Jungle producer, Semi-Squared will be rinsing out his unique style of music, inspired by influences like Basic Channel and Kid 606. We’re also going to be graced by the presence of Chris Hammond, one part of the Janitors and well-known for touting ‘wonky electronic sex music’ around Sheffield and London. Finally, DJ Spuddha, minimal techno heavyweight of Sheffield’s C90 night.

Beyond that you’ve got the Moskow Diskow DJs, delving into the depths of their Detroit Techno record collection. Forget the January doldrums, start the new year the way you mean to go on… drinking too much vodka at the Russian Bar.
