Hey folks,

Hope y'all had a fab Xmess and a gear New Year!

Our pre-Christmas bashment was a gas and a half - with many of you fiiine peoples, plus unexpected guests Andy Kershaw, Ray Davies (again!) and some EastEnders folks (honestly, you couldn't make it up!) showing Santa that they rilly knows how to get down!

Sadly, Mr Bosco Mann of New York nuevo funk legends Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings was a mite too late in confirming as guest DJ for this Friday (14th) ... However, we HAVE got guest spinner Le Gammage - of London's hottest rock'n'roll combo, The I.V.'s - who's gonna set yer ears aflame with some righteous tuneage (zounds, what sounds!) ...

Them testifyin' 'Dap Kings are playing the Jazz Café from 14th-16th, and we'd urge you to treat yer backbones to some SERIOUS live action ... Funk don't come no better ...

As y'all are no doubt aware, come Boxing Day, surf was up in the most terrible way on the other side of the globe, which is why we're holding a Tsunami Benefit night on the 28th, for which there'll be a charity tax of £3 entry. Hands in pockets means food in mouths, folks ... Helping us spread the love will be the one, the only KatManDude ...

As for February, we're pleased to confirm that we'll be moving to Saturday nites! Yes, thas' rite, children! Same Sonic Reducer fun, one night on ...

Dates and special DJ guests to be announced soon ...

But rest assured, each and every Sonic Reducer soiree will guarantee a hip-shakin', butt-tremblin', and backbone-slippin' mix of soul, funk, R&B, garage, beat, punk, soundtracks, mental country, deranged '20s reefer jazz, disco classics, ska, reggae and dub ... Luv & a currant bun

Joss & Joe
