One of the album’s high points is Stay Here, a collaboration between Friendly Fires and Toronto house crew Azari & III. Written exclusively for this compilation, it’s a stunning fusion of classic house beats, spoken vocals from the band and a belting chorus from Macfarlane, with Azari& III providing the verse.

We haven’t been this excited about a party since the Decked Out anniversary at the Coronet. Tiga’s Planet Turbo night comes to London on May 1st and we are slightly over excited to announce that the incredible production on the show is being put together by Andreas Nillson who has worked on The Knife and Fever Ray shows. The DJ line up features Tiga’s first London show in eight months, Boys Noize & Erol Alkan who are riding high with the ruddy brilliant Avalanche and Lemonade double A release and also Trevor Jackson, Matt Walsh, DMX Krew and Turbo top man Thomas Von Party. It’s what bank holidays were made for.

Tiga says of the DJ’s: “Erol is one of the big boys and a great friend. Boys Noize is the techno kid all grown up. An amazing dj and one of the few guys I really trust to destroy a party. Fits right into my Man’s Planz. Matt Walsh? When I first men him, he was dressed exactly like Peter Pan. Her even had a cable harness strapped to him and Thomas Von Party is my brother. The heartwarming glue that holds the Turbo family together and the first man to publicly ‘Kick it up a vibe.’

Get ready for the party of the May bank holiday as Tiga’s Turbo label descends on London for PLANET TURBO. Hosted by the man himself Tiga who has hand picked the guests who include Boys Noize – playing his first London show since September, Erol Alkan who has just been added following his 7 hour set at Easter, London legend Trevor Jackson, Clouded Vision’s Matt Walsh, DMX Krew and the man with the key to the Turbo office desks Thomas Von Party. Details of the incredible and very special Planet Turbo production to be revealed soon…

THERE WILL BE A NUMBER OF TICKETS ON THE DOOR – £13 STUDENTS, £15 OTHERS. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY.

Following last years 5 hour set on Easter Thursday Erol returns to Fire’s ace main room for another epic jaunt through his record box and beyond. But this time he’s doing the whole night! Arrive early and find Erol in a candle -lit room playing the kind of odd electronica he champions on his BBC6 music show, his Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve productions and his Bugged In selection. Expect the night to weave through Disco 3000 territory and full on mutant techno and into classics from his tenure at Trash, Bugged Out and Durrr. Durrr dudes Rory Phillips and The Lovely Jonjo play in room two. Anyone who travelled to this night last year will tell you it’s not to be missed! So. Don’t. Miss. It.
