Hackney is where the Curved Pressings is... http://www.curvedpressings.com/CurvedPressings.htm

Quote:
Curved Pressings was initially conceived by Lawrie Immersion aka Pounding Grooves/ Curve Pusher and his business partners. In the late months of 2000, seven 1202 and one 702 Toolex Alpha pressing machines were bought and imported from Croatia.

This set the seed for outside investments from the likes of Space Djz, Glenn Wilson from Planet Rhythm/ Punish, Chris Liberator and the Stay Up Forever collective, Smitten, Wedafuqawi, Subway records from Bristol, Kakattack and Dekked Sounds, GMT Audio, Sativae Records and a few well known promoters and faces from the London dance scene. Together our aim is to provide a premier service for pressing your vinyl.

Its also got no tube and the council got done for corruption... Hackney Wick is a bit further east, basically just old factories that run along the Lea Valley Canal, between Bow and Stratford (not Upon Avon!) - soon to be re-developed for London's Olympic Bid

**spiralx** · 24-11-2003, 09:33 PM

Yeah, there's been a shocking lack of consultation between the Olympic bid people and the London underground party scene ;)

I think I'll give Ken Livingstone a ring. He's a hippy at heart I'm sure he'll reconsider :)

**Si the Sigh** · 25-11-2003, 12:28 PM

...worth a shot. hey, why not invite him round for a smoke? :lol:

100% agree with you there Mark! Some of the track names, aliases, and etchings with acid techno always make me laugh! It's almost like a close knit comunity up in London, a load of mates having a laugh & providing some wicked & fun party music! :clap:

:clap:

bedroom jazz tangle and bathroom jizz manouevre! :clap:
