August’s party rockin’ mammal sessions welcomes not one but two long awaited guests!

One is a kingpin of the Birmingham funk scene, and a hugely respected dj and promoter, we welcome none other than Roy Roastbeef, from the Funkbox crew, who will be inviting you to shake your touche to the sounds of his well crafted vinyl collection.

The other is one of the most unique, skilled and downright funky djs we’ve heard. Going by the name of Billy Chill Fingers and the man behind “Our Corner” this man has been playing all over the world ever since dropping his seminal Music For Superstars mix.

Like all Mr Elephant events it’s not all about one style of music, and both our headliners will be demonstrating their other dance music passions on that very night, though we are most definitly on a funky tip this week.

Residentos Marc Reck will be playing switching it up with some funk, nu-swing, a lil breaks, and the large last hour of jungle and drum and bass, and Mr Liam Blendstate will also be performing on the visual side with up his unique mysterious and beautiful visual treats) and of course both will be on hand to deal with an concerns or questions you may have…should they not have been answered by our superstar door hosts.

ALSO NEWS JUST IN! – we also have 4 proper drinks promos from 9pm – 11pm courtesy of the Bulls Head!

Yes, yes, obviously we all want you there early. For us its because we only have 5 hours for a party, so music and vibe is crucial, and for the venue its also a sustainability thing.

SO on Friday 7th August we have 2 HAPPY HOURS on the Upstairs bar from 9pm – 11pm

This means that Happy hours drinks prices will be :

2 bottles of beck for the price of 1 !!
Glens Dark Rum / Imperial Vodka Double £2!!
A bottle of house wine for £8 !!!
And shots of Tequila for £1 !!!

Plus the summer rooftop terrace for when you need a breather or a summer smoke.

So that’s Friday 7th August – Bulls Head, Moseley. Come and do your thang, shake your stuff and your flex your own dancing style to some really seriously good dancing music.

This month was a blinder for the party rockin mammal stable. Mark Smallman on those wheels of music was a treat,  along side some nice juicy plump sets from our residents.

We only caught a few snaps before the camera ran out, but big props to all who bought the smiles and filled the floor.

Mark Smallman, one of the two legends behind award winning Custom Made events, was one of our first guests in the party rockin sessions who warmed the room up from trip hop, through to breaks with a load of house and 4/4 genres in the middle, all of which rolled out of the soundsystem with real nice bottom end!

Not limited to one style is why Mark is a choice guest for Mr Elephant events, and joined up with Marc for the big Drum and Bass & Jungle finale with ease.

Along with Liam Blendstate, it was fair to say that, T’other Marc of the evening rocked out with some massive new promo’s before launching into a crowd pleasing, wall shaking, drum and bass set, which was full of melody, and uplifting vibes, but extremely dirty!

The Party Rockin Mammal Sessions are seeming to bring back people who are into the wide range of music we try and get through. Our next event on the 1st friday of July will feature a local up and coming legend. He has many aliases, from 32dm, to Dr Pepperspray, from Captain Bluestain, to Iain Wainwright, whatever we call him, you can be sure he’s got one of the biggest record collections (hence his many pseudonyms) and an intense passion for underground dance music..and music in general.

Come check him out on July 3rd 2009 as part of moseley festival. We’ve just read we’re in the programme this year, which is really cool as we didnt know.

Its a shame it’s just down as Mr Elephant – breakbeat and drum and bass, as for all who have been before you will know that that, is but a portion of the large helping served to all party rockin mammals.

Neverthless we hope you can join us as part of your moseley festival adventures. It seems we are the only part of it geared towards dancing music on the friday, so if you like to dance, we’ll be in the bulls head from 9.30pm.

Its always free btw before 10.30 pm, and our special guest will be joined by our resident Vj and Dj, and our glamourous door host.

S ee you on the dancefloor sock rockers

———————————–

This month it’s the return of the Custom Made custodian and all round superstar dj Mark Smallman!!

Mark is one of the few djs who can play chillout all the way through to drum and bass. He knows how to rock the party, and his (and shona’s) award winning custom made events are testament to his wide musical tastes and party rockin style.

Mark has played at 2 of our previous events and the whole room was full and rockin from start to finish, so its no surprise that this is going to be one of the highlights of the party rockin mammal sessions for us so far.

Elephant Residents Liam Blendstate and Marc Reck will be once again be attempting to trick Mr Smallman with an wide array of visual and audible delights from film scenes, to monkey swing, so come along and see if the special guest can keep up, or if he himself will flumox the dastardly duo.

As always its free entry before 10.30pm and £3 after, there is absolutely no dress code, though anyone wearing a smile will get preferential treatment.

And it’s at that summery venue in moseley..you know the one with the big soundsystem, the cool bar staff, friendly security…but never quite enough room for 4 decks in the dj booth? Yes folks its at the award winning Bulls Head, and we all hope you can be there to dance the night away in a carefree fashion

We’ve been waiting a while to invite Russ back, and after hearing him on form last night, it was well worth the wait!

The Party Rockin Mammal Sessions have been going really well @ the Bulls Head as a bi monthly thing, so this month we  started a monthly residencies (1st Friday of Every Month @ the bulls head, and so to kick us off we had (in our honest opinion), one of the best party rockin’ breaks djs in the midliands, Dj R Caine.

Since winning the pionneer dj comp, he’s gone on to host some big residencies at Archangel, City Breaks, Raw, and the Canal Club, before joining us Rockfall crew back in 2007, and then part of the Drop Beats Events. Russ also played one of the sets of the night at our Celebrate Birmingham’s Underground event on the beach in September last year.

Our resident Vj Blendstate  was well on form with his visual multi screen magic, and our resident dj Marc Reck will be playing more of that monkey swing, before launching into the big breaks set, and the big drum & bass & jungle finale. Top Night, and big up to the security who let us end with that memorable finale!

On behalf of the whole elephant crew, we sincerely want to say cheers to any party rockin mammals who’ve been down, and for all the feedback as it has really helped shaped the night.

Next month we have Custom Made Custodian Mark Smallman! – Fri 5th June 2009
