A nice weekend on the island

Aug 30 2010 // Carla-MacKinnon // Blog

Jersey is one of the strangest places you are likely to visit in Europe.

Mostly known for its potatoes and cows, this island just off the coast of France is culturally similar to England but seen through a glass, weirdly. In many ways it feels like some kind of Chimera-like cross-breed of England and France, which is reflected in it’s (now almost unused) language of Jerriaise – sounding to the untrained ear like a kind of archaic Franglais. Jersey was Nazi-occupied in WWII, which leads to this odd sense, when arriving on the Island, that you are stepping into some kind of parrallel-universe version of Britain, existing with a slightly different history and everything that springs from that difference. It is small – only a 40-odd miles round trip of the coast – and very good looking, with ruins, beaches and wild, unpredictable weather.

All this makes a brilliant backdrop for one of the most immersive new film festivals in Europe – Branchage. Combining a very strong programme of new films with music and parties, Branchage has made it’s name in a short time through its use of unusual venues and attention to detail. The first thing you notice is a giant mirrored Spiegeltent in the centre of the sleepy main town of the Island, St Helier. This tent is home to the festival’s nightly parties, which mix new talent live music (previous years have hosted Paloma Faith and Kitty, Daisy and Lewis) with a burlesque sense of occasion and some mighty hard drinking. Sponsorship from Jersey Dairy means loads of events also have free ice cream.

The music comtinues through the festival programme. Last year’s highlights included British Sea Power’s live soundtrack to man or Aran in Jersey Opera House as well as ethereal Icalandic soundscapes in the afternoon, followed by all-night ska and early hours d&b.

Did I mention the free ice cream?

You can pick up a Branchage pass for £60, and it’ll cost you around £100 to get to Jersey, but if you want a hit of music, films and fresh air all at once in a uniquely bizairre environment, it comes reccommended. More programme information at: www.branchagefestival.com

HIYA GUYS!

Aug 25 2010 // Loukia-C // Blog

Hi Hot110 crew *insert lots of hexclamation marks here*

How much have you missed me? Lots right?
How much have you missed my harping on about how much I love grime boys and bashment/daggering and all the other deep and meaningful things I talk about? Lots right?

No? Well even so, I’m here anyway init, so HIYA!

Lately I’ve been absent from, well..everywhere really. I got promoted at SUPERSUPER and in turn it now owns my soul but I adore it so please don’t be worried for me. I thought I’d make my “big return” to Hot110 today because it’s almost CARNIVAL time. I wish I had more to offer than this post of me chatting the most shit ever but alas!…you get what you’re given bruv.

So. CARNIVAL. You know what that means – an excuse to rub myself against sexy yardie men in public, dressed in hotpants and a string vest, whilst simultaneously eating chicken. LIFE DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

Obviously the party TO BE AT is the Hot110/Bullet Train shindig, featuring the likes of THE BEST GRIME ACT IN THE WORLD EVER AKA THE NEWHAM GENERALS, Rinse FM’s Marco Del Horno, the thugstep monster and our very own DJ Cable as well as the gorgeous Captain Green (Mr. Candyman) (big up my hometown Birmingham) b2b Antics, also DJ Yasmin and more, for just a fiver at The Macbeth in Hoxton. Of course there’s about another 6,000 things to go to as well, but just make sure you’re here on Saturday and you can do whatever you like before and after that – RSVP HERE.

So anyway. I just dropped by to say hi and let you know I’m still alive. You can anticipate some great posts coming from me very soon, including a very secret special amazing thing that I’m not really allowed to talk about but I’m going to call Jonny and tell him all about it tomorrow.

For now, let us get into the carnival spirit. I haven’t had the time to do a Carnival Mix (by the way I’m a DJ now as well. I’ve joined the church of, “learning Serato instantaneously makes you a DJ”. Hey, maybe I’ll play at the next party…) but my favourite ones are: The Heatwave Carnival Mix and DJ Motive’s Carnival Mix. I recommend you go download them and practise your wining in the mirror.

And if you see me at carnival, I’ll be the one reenacting this video… (I can’t wait)
