Into The Valley presents Lancashire’s Demdike Stare (live) and DJ MLZ

There’s a line-up to shake Hebden to its valley roots with a band from way over the Yorkshire / Lancashire border. Fresh from Manchester’s FutureEverything festival, Demdike Stare, named after Pendle's most famous witch, is the occult new project from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty, both obsessive vinyl collectors and two individuals operating at the heart of Manchester's fragmented music scene.

Miles is probably better known as Modern Love's DJ MLZ or one half of Pendle Coven. Sean Canty is the dedicated digger behind the Haxan events and a member of the hugely respected Finders Keepers crew of vinyl vultures. This incredible project tracks the sonic leylines of cult soundtracks, classic House templates, punctured dub and modified techno with a proper Lancastrian twist, into asymmetric music that quite brilliantly defies categorisation.

Demdike Stare will be bringing their melting pot of sounds to the Hebden massive live and on wax as DJ MLZ takes over. Resident support comes from local jocks Flash Atkins (PAPERecordings / We Are Woodville) and Chris Price (What the Freak)

The last few Into The Valley’s have been a lock out so tipping a wink to the faithful in these credit-crunching times entry is £5 in advance, online and on the door before 10pm, then £6/£8 thereafter.

Or On Beatport

Flash Atkins…Superhero, boozer and welfare sponger is back with a remix package of Chant No. 1 (I Don’t Need This Pressure On) originally by 80s chubsters Spandau Ballet.

Chant No.1 features Crazy P’s Danielle Moore on vocals and was out last year as part of the Fags & Booze EP. It’s quirky nu-disco got props from Chris Coco, Groove Armada, Leo Zero & Cosmic Disco. The tracks in this package are the result of a remix competition that We Are Woodville ran.

Manchester’s DATG have created side-chained piece of deep, dark disco that guaranteed for dancefloor mayhem, especially after the drop!

New kid on the block Aaron’s Smith’s Stop The Car remix goes down the disco edit route by cutting things up and piecing it back together to ride the groove with snatched efx.

It’s a quirky all round a package that hits the disco zetgeist!

Jim Stanton (Horsemeat Disco) - GREAT! In the set , what good sound. I still play the original and will def be giving this a good play. Love it!

Stuart Knight (Toolroom) - I think i'm becoming a BIG FLASH ATKINS fan !!! Aaron Smiths mix is the one for me here.

Billy Scurry - Killer, been hammering the original, great package...ten stars

Untitled Music - Funky nu-disco house 4/4 beater tunes are the stuff superheroes are made of and Flash is no different! With Danielle Moore on vocals the two tracks are a heady blend of intoxicating beats, synth chords and a slap of soul to the grooves!

Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) - stop the car mix - odd but interesting

Murray Richardson - Love this, always loved this & love the remixes too!

Jonny Miller (Jus’ Listen) - Flash is a loser but this tune is a winner! Love it, silky disco for silky discos

Beats in Space - liking the DATG mix

Henri Kohn - Wooo wooo, nice one, feelin it big ups

Joakim - Interesting mix by DATG, unexpected.

Martin Brew - DATG mix is a winner...suitably wonky enough for me...love it!
