You guys in the capital this week have some great nights of music ahead of you. First up on Wednesday (9th April), is Troublestock at The End. Troublestock was organised by Chew the Fat in aid of its founder and breakbeat pioneer, Paul ‘Trouble’ Arnold, who was diagnosed with Leukaemia in the closing months of 2007 and upon hearing the news, many of the world’s finest DJs have leapt at the opportunity to help out their friend who has done more than almost anyone in helping establish breakbeat as the major player it is today in dance music. The night is hosting a huge lineup of DJs including Plump DJs Vs. Stanton Warriors, Krafty Kuts Vs. Freestylers, Evil Nine Vs. Elite Force in the main room, James Zabellia Vs. Nic Fanciulli, Paul Woolford Vs. Yousef, Rob Da Bank and more in Room 2 and wonky house heroes Speaker Junk, Count Of Monte Cristal, Sinden and Kissy Sell Out preparing to pack out the dancefloor in the lounge, this may well be the gig of the year.
Also this week Fabric has a monster of a night lined up with Annie Mac hosting Room One with guests Sam Sparro, Ajax, Yuksek and Blaise Bellbille. Stanton Warriors, BBC Soundsystem (XXChange, Devlin & Darko), Duke Dumont & Patchwork Pirates will be rocking Room Two, while Filthy Dukes, The Black Ghosts, Skull Juice & Joe Ransom take control of Room Three. Definetly a good week to be in London guys!

Trouble & Bass have just released Boy 8-Bit's latest single 'Fog Bank' along with remixes from Jack Beats and Acid Jacks.

Download 'Fog Bank' by Boy 8-Bit on Trouble & Bass from Beatport now.
