Already on the bill we have Back 2 Basics resident and party master Ben Owens.

Say Whoa! Presents: Masquerade Party 23/10/09


So, it's approaching that time of the month again to hear the bass and Say Whoa!

This month we're throwing a masquerade party because Doc McCoy watched Stanley Kubrick's 'Eye's Wide Shut' not too long ago and the repeated sex, spanking and drinking reminded him of Say Whoa! SO... We thought we'd throw to two together and make a night of it!

In preparation you can make a mask, buy a mask, pull that mask out of the back of your cupboard as anything goes. If you like your face more than your mask, bring it along anyway and wear it on the back of your head and as always, our resident face painter Nina, will be on hand to paint some slick designs all over your chevy chase! We're all about having a lot of fun here at Say Whoa to some beats, bleeps, synths, bass and bad ass acapellas so jump in and get involved!

As usual you can trust Say Whoa residents Doc McCoy, R-Kid and i-Dope to bring you the freshest new tracks as well as much loved classics with some mash ups, party breaks, fidget, dub step and more thrown in just for good measure. Glo sticks are available and Stacy the smoke machine will be back in full force to help transport you to a really ravey place.

So in summary, with great drink deals, cutting edge music and damn good vibes all for a few nuggets... You can't go wrong.

See you on the dancefloor.

For all information and to rsvp CLICK HERE

Time: 9pm - 2am
Venue: Orange Rooms, Southampton
Entry is £2 after 9pm and £3 after 10pm
Dress code: Masquerade (not mandatory but join the fun and throw caution to the wind)

It Was Bananas!!

So as you might have guessed from previous posts we had Sammy Bananas come and help us celebrate our 1st birthday on the 18th September. The hype was real and it WENT OFF! So a big thanks to Sammy for playing a sick, sick set going from party to electro to dubstep which is exactly how we like it here at Say Whoa! As ever the Whoa massive turned out in force rocking the right colour theme and made Orange Rooms a sea of yellow. Stay tuned to Say Whoa! as we have 2 parties this month which we are very excited about.

New Chromeo Single “Night By Night”


I for one have been waiting a very long time for this, Chromeo's brand new track and first original since 2007's seminal album 'Fancy Footwork'. The new jam is titled "Night by Night" and is available for free over at Green Label Sound. As you would expect from Dave 1 & P-Thugg, it's 80's... It's very 80's with that classic snare sound, driving synths, soaring guitars and catchy vocal hooks. Oh and not forgetting their now signature vocoder. If you EVER get a chance to see these guys live, do it... do it at any cost and I assure you won't be disappointed.

Remixes from Skream and & Siriusmo to follow. How exciting!

Stay fresh!
Doc McCoy

Say Whoa! Presents: SAMMY BANANAS (FOOLS GOLD RECORDS/ NYC)





Have you heard? Say Whoa is a year old and we cordially invite you to come and join us to celebrate our 1st Birthday. We're very lucky to be joined by the one and only Sammy Bananas who's flying in from NYC to party with us all night long. In his honour, this night is going to be straight up bananas from start to finish with bananas galore, some special drinks, a soundtrack that will send you ape as well as all your favourites such as glow sticks and a few other cheeky surprises.

=======================================
SAMMY BANANAS (FOOLS GOLD RECORDS/NYC)
=======================================
www.myspace.com/sammybananas

Rising Brooklyn remixer and party maestro Sammy Bananas lives up to his name by crafting ecstatic tracks that ditch trendy production tricks in favor of pure pop satisfaction. The approach has already made fans out of influential BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac and platinum producer Will.i.am, who ran up to the DJ booth at Sammy's last LA show to shout "YOU made this?!?".

Sammy stunned the DJ community in early '08 with his inventive bootleg of N.E.R.D's "Everyone Nose" which he rechristened as "All The Girls." He debuted the remix on the Screaming Bloody Murder tour in which he traveled North America with A-Trak, Sinden and Steve Aoki. The track was played across the world and became a staple in sets by heavyweights like A-Trak and Flosstradamus. After tours through both Europe and Australia in late '08, Sammy hit the ground sprinting in 2009 with remixes of buzzing acts Thunderheist and Passion Pit.

"He's definitely worth checking out, one for the future and an absolute party starter. Genius." - Jaymo & Andy George

"Wow I love these tracks! I don't know which one to play on the radio!" - Annie Mac

"In a musical climate where so many DJs and producers are doing the same thing as the next guy, Sammy Bananas is a breath of fresh air. His music is full of character and can be best described by one word: funky" - A-Trak

Free mixes/ remixes are available on his Myspace page and they are schweeeeeet!



Dresscode:
Yellow (if you come dressed in a proper banana suit you'll receive a £20 bar tab!)
Tickets/ Entry: Early Bird tickets £3 (until 4/09/09) £4 after 9PM £5 after 10PM
