With Mr Jones on summer holidays the folks at The Twisted Pepper will be throwing a one-off bash at MUD with fast rising beat star and future BBC Radio 1 jock Alex Metric. Metric has gained quite a name for himself over the last year through his numerous EP releases and his flurry of remixes for bands such as Hard-Fi, Alphabeat, Reverend & The Makers and The Infadels and, more recently, Ladyhawke and Phoenix. Alex Metric's grinding electronic output is hugely pop-centric - quirky, offbeat vocals backed with fuzzy, cracked-at-the-edges synths and huge, sing-along choruses. His ethos is to throw together the best bits from his favourite sounds and influences - 80s synth-pop, filter disco, big beat and indie. Alex will be unveiling his own live show, along with his debut album, later this year. Meanwhile, The OneSevenFour DnB massive take over the newly re-vamped Mezz room upstairs with some finely tuned undaground flava courtesy of Rockwell, who'll be making his debut Irish appearance, alongside 174's Fraher. Also in the Stage room the Richter Collective will be continuing their monthly Singles club with Herv, The Vinny Club and the !Kaboogie DJs to close the night.
