Poussez @ Brickhouse Feb 20th
Advance date for your post detox diaries electronic buddies, (enough with the broccoli colonics, non?) Artizan Music's moist and warm label session Uptownboogiedown grooves back into gear SAT FEB 20TH...
2009 was a fantastic year for our parties, joining forces as we did with heavyweights Mulletover, Retox, Lovebox, Disco Geisha, in addition to some kick-ass events at East Village, Notting Hill Arts Club and The Egg. Pepe Bradock, Manoo, Charles Webster, Atjazz, Demarkus Lewis and DJ Deep all rocked the joint alongside us...
So, Feb 20th, we move to new venue Brickhouse, a great three floor space adjacent to 93ft East and the Vibe bar on Brick Lane. It has a heated outdoor terrace, plus a brand new booming FUNCTION ONE soundsystem!! Yeah!! We join forces with our latest signing Deporto and their night 'Finale' for the official launch party of their 'Solar Stripes E.P' out now on Artizan Music. Deporto and Poussez in the headline slot with support from Jerk's Toby Phickle and Pej the unstoppable prince of Persia!

Poussez Podcazt!
Its been a while Oh sweet and tender children of the night, we've so missed you, but whilst we've been busy missing you, we've also been busy being er, busy..so a belated Happy new Year from Poussez and we hope Santa made all your wettest dreams come true..
Our Artizan Music label has been keeping us occupied of late with new signings, releases, remixes and of course this rather tasty and delicious, full-fat, fortnightly Podcazt. Launched in December, the show alternates bi-weekly between Jafar in Sweden and Maxime Cescau in London. The Artizan Podcazt gives you the chance to join us upfront, close and personal, like a hot date with granny, only with less lip hair. You can hear all the latest from the imprint, our studio doodlings, remixes and some great guest mixes from label artists and friends...its powerful.

We've not put anything on Artizan Music for a while, as we've been concentrating on showcasing some of the decent talent around (shouts to Pete Dafeet and latest signing Nacho Marco

Poussez at Notting Hill Carnival 09
After spending two days transforming the Notting Hill Arts Club into an indoor summer meadow at last years Notting Hill Carnival (we'd rather not see another piece of astroturf again, thanks), it seemed downright illegal not to bring the pressure back to the UK's largest street festival for 09..
So here we are, taking UPTOWNBOOGIEDOWN back West for one special day only. We step things up another notch this year, partnering with our good friends DISCO GEISHA, run by the brilliant Tomoki Tamura (anyone remember him joining Jafar, Maxime and Andy at Neighbourhood a while back, will know how much this boy slams it. With a wealth of tracks on the likes of Four: Twenty & Satoshi Tomie's Saw imprint, it comes as no surprise)..
Sadly, we must mention again, our loveable Maxime Cescau is on tour that weekend, so, representing the Artizan alongside the main man Jafar, will be the welcome return of man like Toby Phickle from the excellent Jerk Parties (the bump, the roll, the jack, the jerk..). Meanwhile, Tomoki will be joined by his ace residents Eightbitrate, Naoki Shimizu, Supermethod and many more. There's also live percussion from Lil Dom and Carnival Sushi from Juzu!! Nuff said!
Kick off is 4pm on Carnival Monday AUGUST 31ST and runs till 1am. Its free entry before 6pm and a reasonable £6 till 8pm, more thereafter. BUT BE WARNED...with an average 2million people at Carnival every year, venues fill up quick smart. We were one in one out by 6pm last year so don't leave it too late!!
AND DON'T FORGET YOUR WHISTLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Natural Conditions on UV Compilation
Our good friends over at Universal Vibes have been making a lot of noise with their first label compilation mixed by label owner Paddy Freeform. The compilation has received outstanding reviews and a label of the month feature in IDJ Magazine (pictured) and a compilation of the month feature in DJ Mag!
Poussez' 'Natural Conditions' track is featured on the compilation as well as a Jafar & Bobby Strobe track entitled 'Don't Rush To Find Love'.
No wonder then it's receiving such high marks across the board.
Free track from us
Everybody loves a bit of free action. So get this one in your lugholes pronto. Originally produced by Jafar and Touch, we never quite got round to releasing our remix of 'What is Love?' (although it got a fair few radio and club spins). So here it is, in all its glory...

OUR NEXT RELEASE UP ON ARTIZAN MUSIC: PETE DAFEET 'LOSING THE DOG E.P' (POUSSEZ'S FOREVER DREAMING MIX)
Poussez and Atjazz, May 15
Hey Sexy Kids,
We're back at our regular label ho-down on Friday May 15th at East Village. Joining Artizan’s label heads, whizzkid producers and intergalactic fighter-pilots, JAFAR & MAXIME CESCAU aka Poussez (make sure you check out their latest offerings for the LoudEast, Huddtraxx and Pesto imprints), shall be Innervision / Freerange signee and general house star of the moment, ATJAZZ. Having recently remixed the boys for the Tonecontrol label, it was only right that the underground heavyweight was next up. Rounding the basement off, will be EV’s very own deep house ninja, Stuart Patterson - Stu finally turns 25 on the evening, so its an extra special birthday set from him.
Upstairs, we are extremely proud to announce the launch of our new sub-label ARTIZAN SOUL. Headed up by production partner in crime and all round keys wizard, ANDY TOUCHFINGERS, the label promises the very best in all forms of modern dancefloor soul. Andy will be rocking an extended selection of extremely rare cuts of fattest boogie, disco,deep funk, reggae and upfront previews of the label’s forthcoming output. Naturally, this will be interspersed with his live keys, plus P.A’s from three of Artizan’s promising young female vocalists. Backing Andy up in the Dj booth, will be the welcome return of man like Toby Phickle and his bag of delicious leftfield tricks…yummy.
