Welcome to week 2, as u can c I've been well slack with keeping this log up but it has been a very hectic week.

First up there was gay pride week end, which involved having to put on 2 free parties and a club nights.

The back room at the Concorde awaited us on Friday, as we hooked with other local sound systems Havok and Shindig. While the venue wasn't rammed the back room at CII
only needs about 20 people to create an atmosphere. I also got to drop my first funk set out in Brighton. Only the first hour but i enjoyed it, followed by Owen and then Jiminy finishing of with a 2 hour techno set.
Boom back home a couple of hours kip then on to Saturday, down the park for a bit to check out all kinds of misbehaviour and from there on to the party action.
While Jiminy and Chunk had their eyes set on Black Rock action I'd found a bit of private land out in Polegate to throw a party on.

There where a few problems to deal with from the start. the main one being that the nearest residential houses where about 100 meters away. This limited how much noise we could make ( no more than 2k of sound) and our ability to throw a huge party. But before environmental protection turned up we must of had over 200.
Still in the end we kept the music up until about 5 pm Sunday and I believe a good time was had by all.
Cheers to all those who helped out u know who u are.


The Blackrock party also went down getting about 2000 people and hitting midday Sunday, wicked

Now onto a much more important note, the Israel- Lebanon problems. Only yesterday I came accross, and I believe that this is a crucial fact for anyone who wants to understand this conflict in a wider context, this article by George Monbiot

If this claim is correct, and I believe Monbiot whose articles usually cut through the propaganda of modern political media to reveal its real goals and motivations, then all claims by Israel that this is a defensive reaction are a lie and Israel like the US is partaking in a strategy of pre emptive strikes. I leave out the term retaliation as I believe that Israel acts offensively using mainly ineffective Hezbollah attacks as pretext for military action in the same way as Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident to move the US war machine up a notch in Vietnam, or how 9-11 was used as a pretext to invade Iraq by the Bush Administration.

Another intresting article on the real reasons behind the offensive is here
The deeper u go into this one, the more it become obvious that Isreal future depends on military exspansion into the south of Lebanon. I haven't even touched on the issue of water. For more on this check Global Research

Back to lighter note. Preparations are underway for the next Psykotek at the Pressure Point (sept 8). Mood Deluxe (liquid Records) headlines with support from Magrah (organised kaos) & Mr Fox. Posters are done and the flyer's will be in the shops soon. Time to promote.

Meanwhile this Friday SweatBox will be at the Pressure Point. Black Box and Havok come together to bring a night of underground sounds as our residents collaborate for 4 hours of sweaty wonkey action.


Till next time, peace
