After work drinks just got a whole lot better! Off The Record turns those wheels of steel and trundles down to Dalston and UP SOME STAIRS for the first party at the beautiful Dalston Roof Park!!

A heady mix of heights, great weather (I promise), great drinks, great food and great music will get your weekend off to an excellent start!

Providing the food for the evening will be Wingmen.

Wingmen smoke quality free-range wings over mixed fruit wood with a closely guarded Dry Rub mix.
Expect the likes of ‘Korean BBQ’, ‘Flaming Peach’, ‘Apricot Hot Sauce’ and a weekly rotating ‘Soda Hot Sauce’ flavours include; Cherry Soda, Dr Pepper, Mixed Berry, Blackcurrant…the list goes on!

Napkins are free on entry.

Drinks are covered by the well stocked bar on the roof so you should have no problem quenching your thirst and damping down the fiery wings if you tried to show off to your girlfriend.

Music will be leaving black discs and turning into audible delights from the Off The Record team. Vinyl only selections from DJs spanning all genres and ages.

Wed, 15 May 2013 19:13:12 +0100

The third instalment of Off The Record at Lockside Lounge is upon us and if it snows this time, there will be naked dancing from the DJ booth!

After two very successful events, Off The Record returns with a stellar line up of DJs ready to play records and records only for your drinking and dancing pleasure.

This time round we have gone out of our way to bring you two excellent guests.

Orsii – Jazzmanrecords.co.uk

First up we have Orsii. No stranger to the Off The Record format, I have been waiting patiently to invite her out again to play some records. Working for Jazzman and Fat City Records allows Orsii to get her hands on all sorts of gems. But who knows, it could be a straight up hip hop set on the night. Lets just see what happens. In the meantime, check out one or more of her excellent shows online here.

Paul White – One-Handed Music

Headlining this night is non other than Paul White. Now, I will start of with my personal views on Paul White and leave you with something from the internets about him. I first found out about Paul White from the myspace days as he was / is label mates with Bullion on the excellent One Handed Music run by Alex Chase. I picked up his first album The Strange Dreams of Paul White which featured neck snapping beats over obscure library samples and film chops. At the time it had a more homely feel over the American beats I was listening to at the time. Fast forward some years and now Paul White is an in demand beat maker. Working with people like Guilty Simpson, Tranqill, Marv Won and his latest EP with Danny Brown.

Quoted as ‘the enigmatic English producer with a penchant for psych and prog-rock’ things could get real wild on the dancefloor! Check out his music below

Bensamba - Differentgenre.net

Bensamba or Sambaman as I like to call him is a DJs DJ. Holding a huge depth of knowledge in Latin and Brazilian music his sets are all about the groove. Drums and Bass are what he knows well and we all know the effect those two elements have on the hips and necks of humans.

Ray Juss – OffTheRecordLDN.com

Writing about myself is weird, luckily, I am good at it. Not confined to one genre but being from a UK Garage background Ray can work any crowd. Whether they be sitting or standing, his choice will cause reactions. TV themes, dubstep, grime, broken beat all have a chance to be heard.

Off The Record Turns One!!

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:33:59 +0100

Off The Record Turns One!

12 months ago in a bar on Upper Street started a small yet quiet revolution. Off The Record was born. A night dedicated to vinyl but not just DJs, people who still bought, collected, found, stumbled upon could come and play those black discs.

Over the year there has been many first timers, new DJs, old DJs have graced the wheels of steel at Wax Jambu. Rare and unheard records were played as the bar staff mixed up some of the best drinks in the World (check the competitions, its true!) Over this time, there was not one lame set. From the early days of Ustreaming around the world to the later sets being recorded and preserved on Mixcloud, each person involved shared a little bit about themselves by the music they played.

While it is a celebration, it will also be the last time Off The Record will appear on a Wednesday evening at Wax Jambu. But fear not! After my well earned break, there will be something new to get excited about. I would like to thank all of the DJs that took part. In this order, almost!

June Listings

6th – Dave Metcalfe (Reggae) | Pete Byrne (Rock/Electronica) | amar_ (Electronic)

Summer is knocking on the gates of London and to help it get through passport control with the minimum of fuss we have the Reggae master Dave Metcalfe. He will be warming up for Pete Byrne who will take us on another musical trip. Closing the show will be amar_ who will be brining it up to date with a more up tempo and modern set.

13^th – Ralph | Lawrence | Ray Juss (Soul/Motown/Hip Hop/Classics)

There are not many more elusive collectors than Ralph and Lawrence. They showed an interest in playing a while back but after many emails, Facebook messages and meetings I got them to put pen to paper. Digging through found and acquired collections, these enthusiastic guys will get things moving!

20^th – K15 | Bensamba (insession) | Nijmakesbeats (Beats and Bootybass)

In life, they say you shouldn’t have favourites. They tell you that everyone is equal. They, are sometimes wrong. The stars have aligned to allow me to pick not only 3 friends, but probably 3 of the best talents playing and collecting music. K15 will no doubt surprise me and everyone else with his selection of tracks. Bensamba aka the DJs choice probably has a load of new things tucked away. (Ill be the train spotter by the turntables for that one). Rounding things off we have the laidback neck snapping master Nijmakesbeats. Playing them slaps until they kick us out!

27^th – OFF THE RECORD 1^ST BIRTHDAY

So here it is, 52 weeks later. The baby turns one. London’s best kept secret where anyone can come and play anything from vinyl has no doubt changed my and a few other people’s lives. It has been a fun and interesting learning experience and I am proud of what has gone on at Wax Jambu every Wednesday. Don’t let me spoil any surprise of who is playing. Want to find out… come a long!

2nd – Dave Metcalfe (Reggae) | Pete Byrne (Rock) | Dickon Storme (Bunker Funk)

As the sun tries to creep from behind the clouds its only right we kick things of with Bar favourite, Dave Metcalfe. Bringing his selection fine selection of Reggae music to compliment the cocktails. To help keep the drinks flowing, Pete Byrne will be taking over the middle set of the evening with his choices of rock and electronica. Returning to the fold we have the elusive Dickon Storme. My messages sent via de-commissioned Navy radios reached him at his bunker where he has been carefully selecting records for his second performance. Expect the old/new genre of ‘Bunker Funk’

9^th – Ashley Jno | Oli (Open The Gate)

The word of Off The Record spreads slowly but that’s just how we like it. Tonight we will be entertained by Ashley and Oli. From successful sets at Open The Gate, they will be bringing their electic selections to Wax Jambu. Loads of great music you may never of heard but will recognize. I promise!

16^th – alum (Ambient to Zouk)

The mighty alum sound comes back to Off The Record. 3 DJs all with their own tastes and skills rolled into one mighty musical powerhouse. No genre is safe so you are sure to hear something you like and even if you don’t, you can always drink more and then everything will sound great!

23^rd – Ray Juss | Senior Girls Own (Splinx and Mindy)

Back on my warm up duties for no doubt the greatest DJ duo since, I don’t know when? I will be providing excellent music to accompany the drinking of the fine cocktails from behind the bar. Once I tag in Senior Girls Own, who knows what sort of greatness will happen? If I told you they finished their set with a 90s rave classic last time, would you believe me? Come and find out for yourself!

30^th – Martin Daniels (Recordstore.co.uk) | Si Domone (WOODWORK) | Dnbenergy (Quondam Records)

One for the dancing crew tonight. Kicking things off is the musical mastermind Martin Daniels from Recordstore.co.uk playing classic and contemporary hits. The next DJ Si Domone will be picking up the pace and taking you through what he is feeling from the genres of house. Ending the month and evening will be Dnbenergy playing a drum and bass set catered for the surroundings.

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:38:47 +0100

April, the month of fools and when accountants praise the birth of the Sage and Excel lords. Please dont be offended religious people, they are just accountants. Anyway, lets crack on with what we have going on in the month of April.

April Listings

4^th – Ray Juss (Mixed 7s) | Senior Girls Own (Ambient to Zouk)

The first week of the April line up restores an excellent line from back in February. Once again I will be starting things of digging into my expensive 10p crates of 7s to set the mood. After, I will be handing the turntables over to Senior Girls own who will take you on a musical journey from A to Z. Hence Ambient to Zouk.

11^th – Ed | Rob Morgan (ifthereisahellbelow) | Ray Juss (Soul/Funk/Rock Night)

More members from the Recordstore.co.uk team come and play some records this week at Wax Jambu for Off The Record. Starting off we have the darling of Camden Ed who will be jumping back into his DJ role once again. We welcome back Rob Morgan from ifthereisahellbelow to help us discover and un cover new and old music, all of it will be well worth hearing. I will be closing the evenings entertainment with whatever treats I can find in my bag!

18^th – Mo Sean | Louis P | Laze Breaks (Breaks/Soul/Funk/BrokenBeats Night)

After some travel problems last booking, we are glad to have Mo Sean back on the bill. A master thrift store digger, his collection has been amassed from the four corners of the earth. Expect to hear breaks that are dying to be sampled. I have also managed to get Louis P back down to play some of his favourite records. With roots in jazz, hip hop and even broken beat it should be a good hour. Last on the evening is the digital champion, Laze Breaks. For someone with such a good record collection, he shouldn’t dismiss it so much. Dusty jazz breaks and 90s soul/hiphop is what I am guessing will come out.

25^th – alum (Ambient to Zouk)

Alum are previous guests Grace and Piers who have added a third member, Adam. Not to sound to comic book film trailer, together they are, Alum. The genre classification for these guys is just a loose one because to try to pigeon hole them wouldn’t be fair. They have the full 4 hours to entertain you musically. Will be a treat so come and get involved!
