hAllOwOnK 3 was wOnK’s 2nd Birthday party . . .

October 27, 2011

What a pArty!!! The attention to detail on this one was second to none. Everyone who came made a spectacular effort with costume and enthusiasm. With over 200 people giving it their all at one time or another on the dancefloor through the night, this simply was a party to remember. Stalwart wOnKers who have [...]

Sure is Pure – the way we were

August 12, 2011

We’ve got @NathanJay to thank for this old interview which he sent us yesterday. We thought you might like it. Click the image to expand it for easier reading. It’s from an old edition of Mixmag, sometime in 1993, which you’ll see from the Soul Mekanik Discography was a few years after we’d adopted the [...]

If you came to the party last night, we’re surprised that you’re up and about to read this! It’s a quick note to let you know that we’re popping off to Bristol on 29th April to avoid watching a Prince and Princess on telly all day. Instead we’re playing at what we’ve heard is a [...]

House Music is back in fashion

January 26, 2011

About time too! We’ve been waiting a while! House music as in the stuff with the original, simple ethic of classic drum machines, sing-able basslines and heartfelt vocals. For instant proof of this, remind yourself of one of 2010′s BIGGEST. There’s even PIANOS!  (without any trendy guilt of enjoying ourselves too much!). Chicago style acid tracks [...]

Thumbnail image for Creative Use – the album

You may have heard that we’ve had this in the works. Our most helpful friends in the North, All Ears distribution, are helping us get a rather lovely DigiPak CD (designed by himself at Eyeronik Eyekonik) of some of the highlights of the Creative Use series. Most of the original vinyl versions of these sought [...]

Our Way

January 20, 2011

As it’s my first post in person, I’m setting out my stall. This is the collective conscience of us 2 brothers. A stream of ill advised rantings about why MP3s are only useful for low level reference, what music we’re feeling new and old, and why Kenny Dalglish, Bruce Lee & Raymond Scott (amongst others) [...]

RowDent Returns with 2nd EP

January 20, 2011

We’re dead chuffed that the first EP by Rowdent on WONK went down a storm. We’re even more chuffed that they’re back again with a second offering! With another fiendish mixed bag of cuts which includes Cjords, Lurch and Machine Drummer, RowDent’s new E.P is released on 7th February on WONK. You can listen to [...]
