babble collective soundsystem

no trouble – no tax :: FREE PARTY @ J21 (Midland St, Leicester) Friday 15th March babble bounce back for a fun filled night of fumpin house frolicks. babble allstars will be in attendance: Manners, Mono, Damien, Dave, Debs & Mr Rob, along with the usual fluffy decor and sparkles. Trancemission will be doing their thang for those who like their beats with a psy-twist. Get you’re groovin asses down there!!

If you’re looking for the bits and bobs from our old website, we’re slowly moving them across – check out the links right at the very bottom of this page or click here. Matt’s working on getting the flyers and piccs up – we’ll post a link when they’re up. Stay tuned for more details on forthcoming dates in Czech… babble djs will be playing out there at a free party on the 30th of April, along with Rob and Steve (Smokescreen) and djs from our hosts, Fuzzy Logic (we may have some gigs in Prague too, courtesy of Quadrant Soundsystem).

babble regret to announce we’ve decided to pull our planned dates at Soho until further notice. Thanks to all who came to the last one – I think its fair to say that while the majority of folk had a top night as usual, a sizeable minority did not, due to a complete lack of respect (at best) and downright abuse of rights (at worst) from the security (=thugs). We did our best to work out the problems with the club owner, but at the end of the day members of babble and trancemission all agreed that if we can’t put on a night that is safe and fun for all then its just not worth doing. Look out for a free party in the near future – we’re currently actively looking for a venue (please get in touch if you can help); a boat party is a strong possibility too. Anyway, nuff said, peace, love and chunky house music forever, respect to you all – normal service will resume asap.

Next party: 25th Jan 2002 – double trouble @ Soho, 41 Halford St., Leics. UK.
Featuring: Mark (krunch), Debs, Mono & Mr Rob.

Free Party: 31 Dec 2001, Glasgow if you fancy some deep house north of the border, come and join us. The babble rig will be pumping out tunes all night – the location is thanks to a local dub sound system who’ll also be in righteous attendance [link to directions removed]. UPDATE 06.01.02 :: Scotland is beautiful, as were the people and the music… we may be doing this again.

Next party: 28th Dec 2001 – double trouble @ Soho, 41 Halford St., Leics. UK.
Featuring: Long Jon, Debs, Dave & Manners.

Thanks once again to all those who made our birthday celebration last weekend such a corker. Slight change to the line up for the next night… Bov & Damo step down to let Debs dish out the tunes, although they’ll be coming along and may well end up funking things up again.

On a personal note, I really enjoyed playing at the birthday party. Sorry about the temporary power outage at 5am – one of our really old amps seems to have taken a turn for the worse and is being particularly cranky. Thankfully persistance payed off, you lot didn’t go home, and we did get everything cranked back up for the last half hour, with cheeky ol’ Bov stretching the night till well past 6am ;-).

Went to the Smokescreen birthday party last weekend at a gorgeous site in derbyshire. We danced bathed in moonlight to chunky tune after tune. I was supposed to be driving back at some point on Sunday but it took me a long time to drag myself away from the rig for some sleep. For breakfast I discovered some kind of motorcross going on outside my Van (not nice) and Rick from DiY playing back down at the soundsystem (much more like it).

babble 8th birthday party: 30th Nov 2001 – double trouble @ Soho, 41 Halford St., Leics. UK.
Featuring: Tom & Banksy (Smokescreen), Bov & Damien (babble), Mono (babble), Debs (babble) + Rob (Trancemission’s Trance Traitor & Secret House Lover)

I can’t remember that much of the last babble night so I’m guessing it was good 😉 lovely to see so many good friends, especially Doris & Luke who travelled all the way from the middle of nowhere (aka deepest France). Looking forward to seeing you all again at the birthday party for mashed up house madness and tickling your fancy with tunes to make you dance, fatboy, dance.

babble next appearing: 26th Oct 2001 – double trouble @ Soho, 41 Halford St., Leics. UK.
Featuring: Chilly Phil (oldskool DiY deep house lushness), Debs (babble), Manners (babble) + Len Da Survivor (Roadblock)

I think its fair to say the first night at Soho last friday was an absolute ripper. Thanks to all you lovely people for making it such a fine start to the Autumn dancin’ season.

We’ve just confirmed a new monthly night @ Soho for the Autumn. The first date will be the last friday in September. See you all there (we’re off to Europe now).

At the moment your probably wondering what’s going on. Well the babble website is having a massive overhaul just before we go to europe. This will probable mean that the site will look like this for a while, but let me tell you when we get back you will love the change.

One of the chages is that you will be able to add your own coments to this site. So after a party you’ll be able to tell us what you thought, or add pictures from the party to the site for everyone to see. Try adding a coment now.

Technology!
