Testing. This is the first post for the Work Them blog, the online outlet of a new alternative and electronic club night launching on the 2nd of December, at Kraak Gallery in Manchester. Here, we'll be posting articles, relevant Youtube (less cats, more weird stuff) and writing in relevance to our little project. As we exist primarily for aural purposes, we thought it'd be a good idea to begin with a mix of what to expect from Work Them.
It's pretty bumper, but we've left the tracklist below so you can skip over anything you don't like, unfortunately we won't be operating this policy on the evening, so you'll have to take a risk with when you have a fag. In line with our musical 'policy' (urgh), the mix encompasses everything from disco re-edits, pop edits, post-dubstep and more. 'Eclectic' can be a dangeorus word, but we hope it flows cohesively. Eclecticism can lead to exciting musical discoveries, but it's also theoretically responsible for say, a collaboration with Lou Reed and Metaliica.
The mix is downloadable at the moment, just select that downward arrow. It encompasses everyone and everything from Lindstrom to The Fall, Space Dimension Contoller to Arthur Russell.
Visit back this week for more groove, more thoughts, more formatted text magic.
