ORIGINAL RESIDENTS James Lebens Rob Breezy + DJ Y___ (join the SPREAD LOVE group on Facebook to work out who it is...!) email - spreadlove2009@googlemail.com Back in 1999, if you were a fan of real hip hop in London then Spread Love at The Social was the only place to be. From '99 to 2004, the night played host to some of the most exciting hip hop DJs and acts from both the UK and US every other Tuesday night for no pounds and no pence. But more importantly, Spread Love was the original residency for one of the UK's most colourful and successful DJs in recent years, and also paved the way for many other classic hip hop events at the Social, including Hip Hop Karaoke and Southern Hospitality. Step back in time with us at The Social for a one-off reunion celebrating one of London's most innovative free hip hop events. Expect plenty of party time hip hop, super-semi-legendary special guests and don't leave home without your backpack. '09 TOP FIVE Jay-Z - D.O.A.

YOUNG AND LOSTDate: Friday 3rd July Doors: 6PM-1AM Cost: £FREE CHEATAHS live THE LIGHT SLEEPERS live CELESTIAL BODIES live (ex semifinalists) + djs Young and Lost Club plus more TBC. Launch party for debut single from Cheatahs - CHEATAHS is a lo-fi noise-pop solo project (from Nathan of Little Death). Recorded at home and by himself, Nathan's songs evoke the sensibilities of punk rock experimentation and deviation but are firmly rooted in traditional pop structures. Skate-punk nihilism and introverted obsession are underlining themes in his often self-deprecating lyrics and an adolescent "dungeons and dragons" undertone helps keep everything from becoming too serious. |

Their influence crosses continents and tonight their set will reflect their current tastes. AU/RA has been created to explore the relationship between pre-recorded sound and live musicians in performance.
