Say Whoa! Launch Party @ Orange Rooms, Southampton

Just under a year ago, we started Say Whoa with the intent to rejuvenate Southampton's dwindling party scene by putting on monthly parties playing the best in new electronic music. All of this in an atmosphere where you're guaranteed to have a great party amongst some like minded people and good friends. Our mission is to create a strong underground community... Where everyone knows your name... Like that TV show Cheers, just at a phat party instead.

We've grown a lot in the past 10 months and now it's time to step it up a gear! We're moving to Orange Rooms on Friday 17th July 2009 which, will allow us to grow as a night and bring you a better experience.

This Summer is looking to be a very exciting one in terms of amazing music and you'll be sure to hear it first at Say Whoa. Expect some big entertainment, glo stick mania, top tunes, great drinks deals and much, much more. More information to follow shortly but in the meantime, show your support by checking out the event invite which will be going up momentarily on Facebook.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Quackin'

Armand Van Helden + A Trak = Duck Sauce

This is gonna be huge.... Word is this track titled 'aNYway' will be with DJ's by the summer ready for festivals ect.. and officially released on Fools Gold around september/october time as part of an LP which I'm sure will be full of tracks along the same vibe.

Awesome!!

Say Whoa DJ's in Bournemouth

Next Friday 5th June we are taking a little road trip to Bournemouth.

Nyle - "Let The Beat Build"

We are more than partial to some great hip-hop jams over here at Whoa! Towers. This video featuring young rap upstart Nyle, covers Lil Wayne's 'Let the Beat Build' from his album 'Tha Carter III'. Shot in one take with the audio being recorded simultaneously with the film, it stars a wide range of young musicians gradually adding more elements to the song (and generally having a bit of fun). I have to say it's a welcome move away from the 50 Cent side of the genre preaching to children that they need to get rich, or die trying. Nice.

Enjoy!

Another bank holiday another WHOA!

After smashing Mono apart for the last couple of bank holidays we have been drafted in to do the same again this time. Im not even gonna tell you how fucking good this party is gonna be because if you're reading this then chances are you've been to one of the previous parties and know exactly how good it's gonna be. All i will say is it starts at 8pm and will roll on till 2am.

Top Billin'

Yes, Yes...

Next friday Orange Rooms play host to the mighty Top Billin'. Myself and Sam Son are on support duties.

It's set to be a cracker so be sure to get down if your in town.

Say Whoa & Secret Wars

Here's whats going down...

Secret Wars is the World’s premier live art battle – working in similar ways to Fight Club, Secret Wars battles are set up & promoted through word of mouth.

The Secret Wars Grand Final is here and its been a long and entertaining journey. Defending champion Gustav has made it again, but Rem 1 DNK who has impressed the judges and the crowds is more than ready and capable of stealing the title to become Secret Wars Series 2 Champion!

Both artists will battle it out for the £500 cash prize, a load of goodies supplied to us by our sponsors and of course a place in the London tournament. This was always going to be a busy night, so we’ve decided to go all out with the entertainment. We have Jimi Crayon hosting the night along with our residents Mr Muffle & R-Kid, playing upstairs and downstairs. We’ve got our secret wars favourite beat-boxer REEPS 1 www.myspace.com/reeps1 to come down and seriously put the Soul Cellar sound system to the maximum test and if you thought that was all we’ve got special guest DJ Session.

Session is a unique producer/DJ who is taking over the club scene with his own brand of forward thinking dance music productions, remixes and genre-blurring DJ sets.

Session has produced for artists such as UK Hip-Hop’s Brotherman, Street Politiks and with Drum&Bass’ Superking. In addition he produces under other alias’, Noisses: Dubstep (bass heavy beats), Equalizers: Breakbeat (electro sounds for the dance floor), and Session And The Bear as a collaboration with Polarbear (thought provoking story telling).

Check out www.myspace.com/session70 to hear more.

If thats not enough... Say Whoa will be taking over downstairs of the Soul Cellar playing the usual type of hype to keep the party going to the early hours.

Entry is £3 before 10 and £5 after.

There’s plenty of FREE parking opposite the Soul Cellar and a load of drinks offers at the bar.

HYPE HYPE!!

Say Whoa! Bank Holiday Special: Part Deux

Well, well, well. We've barely got over the last Bank Holiday Special we threw a couple of weeks ago (aka the craziest Whoa yet) and it's already time to start gearing up for another! Expect the best selection of electronic music, new and old with a few surprises thrown in as always. There will be some sweet drinks deals until 10pm and we'll be rocking the very foundations on which Mono Bar is built until 2 'o' clock in the Gawd damn morning! Now, with no work the next day, we're looking at yet another HUGE party.

I don't know about you guys but I canny wait! Look forward to seeing you all there and in the meantime, as a prelude to the storm, here are some sweet Summer jams to limber you up before the mayhem:

The Pharcyde - Runnin (Philippians RMX)
