New Year’s Eve at The End & AKA - Layo & Bushwacka!, Sancho Panza, Jimpster, Will Saul and more

December 12, 2007

Christmas and New Year –a time of peace and harmony, right? Or a time to throw some of The End’s favourite DJs into the booth to battle against each other and see who wins? This year we’ve opted for the latter, as we’ve taken some of The End’s much-loved residents and pitted them against each other in a battle of musical strength and wits. In the main room Layo & Bushwacka! will be wrestling the Sancho Panza boys, the Lovebox Allstars will be sword fighting with the Rant DJs in the lounge, and in AKA Freerange’s Jimpster will be having a dance off against Simple’s Will Saul. Peace and harmony indeed….let battle commence!

First up – in the main room we have two musical duos who have both played an instrumental part in shaping the End & AKA’s history. Layo & Bushwacka! are more at home in The End’s blue DJ booth than any other artists, and whilst they spin around the world, they always return to The End every month for their Olmeto residency, where you can expect to be taken on a journey through house, tech-funk, techno and more. 2007 saw more releases from the duo, including ‘Kick Your Ass’ and ‘Tabloid’, some solo productions from Bushwacka! including the powerful ‘Remember’, plus a double mix album for Global Underground. Sancho Panza’s residency in AKA goes back many years – renowned for their party-starting abilities wherever they play, from a tiny warehouse to the Notting Hill Carnival - they never fail to get the dancefloor rocking.

2007 saw the two of the most exciting house labels around start monthly residencies at the club. Freerange epitomises all that is good about house – deep, emotional and melodic whilst always surprising us with a wobbly bassline or a quirky vocal – this is a label truly at the top of its game. Simple has made a huge impact in its five years on the planet, with its trademark deep, futuristic, house, techno and disco winning the label many fans in high places. Who better to go head to head in AKA than label bosses Jimpster and Will Saul?

In the lounge the Lovebox Allstars will be squaring up to the Rant DJs. The Lovebox Allstars have been present at every Lovebox party at The End this year, and have torn up the lounge with their mix of house and disco. The Rant DJs are musical nomads, throwing parties in pubs, clubs, on boats, and even in bowling alleys – occasionally bringing their box of tricks and loyal following to The End’s lounge. Expect everything from house to breaks, from drum & bass to disco, from big tunes to rare remixes - if this pair don’t have it, it probably doesn’t exist.
