DJ CALCUTS
MISH MASH DJs
OSCAR FULLONE

To celebrate the launch of East London’s 162A
Records and the release of Spectrum 311’s
debut single, ‘Lying Eyes’, the label will be
hosting a launch party at the infamous
‘On The Rocks’ venue in deepest, darkest Shoreditch!!!
Spectrum 311 are a three-piece band from North
London, consisting of lead singer
Callum Johnston, Barney Monk on guitar and Jamie
Nash on drums.
The band (named after their favourite Hydroponic
lamp) are best described as a culture clash between
hip hop, soul and ska, all blended together with
a unique pop sensibility!
This is the first release for 162A Records and
has been remixed by the irrepressible
Simian Mobile Disco. Further remixes are due from
Juan Maclean (DFA Records)
and Oscar Fullone (Mish Mash).
On the night, the band will be joined by…
Simian Mobile Disco, playing a f**ked up selection
of electro, hip hop, acid rock, dancehall and
booty bass… with live remixes and a few Simian
exclusives thrown in for good measure.
These boys have supported the likes of N*E*R*D
and Air in recent months and regularly
host events at ex-East End strip club / boozer
The Spread Eagle, with the likes of
David Holmes, Goldfrapp and Ladytron propping
up the bar!
DJ Calcuts aka Callum Johnston
(the lead singer from Spectrum 311)
will be cutting it up on the turntables…
Oscar Fullone, a regular at the hugely successful
Mish Mash events at Cargo and 93 Feet East,
will also be providing some vinyl entertainment
and a sneak preview of his
remix for Spectrum 311…
Vocal support is being supplied by the elusive
MC Ras B (aka Skitzi B), who has worked with
the likes of The Bug, Adrian Sherwood (On-U-Sound)
and Andy Weatherall. Expect plenty
of manic conscious toasting and the occasional
melody!
