Size Doesnt Matter with Billy Biznizz Feb 20th 09
Big up to Ashley Beedle who terrorized the West London faithful in to a storm of musical anarchy at the last S.D.M… Shepherds Bush didn’t know
what hit it.
So, taking no prisoners the second official S.D.M. party of the year sees the legend that is Billy Biznizz take us in to the wonderful world of his seven inch collection. Since the 1980’s, Billy Biznizz has developed a name as a leading UK based DJ at the forefront of his field. Initially embarking on his professional career as a DJ with the legendary UK Rap group The London Posse, touring the UK and Europe, he then went on to DJ for the UK’s first female Rap group, The Cookie Crew. He has supporting bands such as De La Soul, N.W.A, Public Enemy, House of Pain, Roy Ayres and The Jungle Brothers to name a few.Both his partners DJ Pogo and Cut Master Swift have both guested with Size Doesn’t Matter in the past, so it is with great relish that we complete the trilogy that is the Mighty EN4CERS.
Support as always is provided by the illustrious residents and their unique format of strictly 7 inch vinyl mayhem. Book your early bird guest list and arrive in good time to avoid huge queues on the door.

On Fri 20th March SDM welcomes as a guest, the one, the only Dave Jarvis.
He’s been around a while has Dave and of course his 7 inch collection is no joke…..
Here’s a spot of info on him for those of you that haven’t been paying attention over the past 20+ years!!!
Dave Jarvis has been around on the rave scene since before acid house kicked off, when he used to promote the soul sound systems of West London. In the first summer of love he ran parties around the M25 and he has been a stalwart of the rave scene ever since, running record stores, club nights and producing with Rocky and Diesel. Dave is also a founder member of FAITH, alongside Terry Farley and Stuart Patterson.
Dave plays everything, from straight up jackin’ house right through to boogie, funk, disco, soul, broken beat, northern soul and jazz (he’s never happier than when he’s mixing things up). His record collection – huge, fantastic – matches a fellow of such passion and dedication. Back room or front room, late or early, hither or thither, Dave’s your man – which is why we here at SDM are asking him back for a second time!!!!

For two thousand years the myth of Babylon has haunted the European imagination. The Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens, Belshazzar’s Feast and the Fall of Babylon have inspired artists, writers, poets, philosophers and film makers. Drawing on the combined holdings of the British Museum London, the musée du Louvre and the Réunion des musées nationaux, Paris, and the Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin, the exhibition explores the continuing dialogue between the Babylon of our imagination and the historic evidence for one of the great cities of antiquity at the moment of its climax and eclipse.

Listening Post is a ‘dynamic portrait’ of online communication, displaying uncensored fragments of text, sampled in real-time, from public internet chatrooms and bulletin boards. Artists Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin have divided their work into seven separate ‘scenes’ akin to movements in a symphony. Each scene has its own ‘internal logic’, sifting, filtering and ordering the text fragments in different ways. By pulling text quotes from thousands of unwitting contributors’ postings, Listening Post allows you to experience an extraordinary snapshot of the internet and gain a great sense of the humanity behind the data. The artwork is world renowned as a masterpiece of electronic and contemporary art and a monument to the ways we find to connect with each other and express our identities online.

As nearly a billion people go to bed hungry again tonight, the question of feeding the world has never been more urgent. But is genetically modified food a good choice to have on the menu for our planet? Or does it leave you feeling queasy? This new exhibition explores the science and technology that could boost crop yields. Do we need GM to increase food production in the future, or are there other options? Weigh up the benefits and risks – then step up to the table and have your say. This exhibition is supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.

The world of Japanese car design set against the backdrop of Japan’s unique culture is explored in a sophisticated new exhibition at the Science Museum, from 29 November 2008. Japan Car, an exploration of the car as a “mobile cell”, has been conceived by two world class names from outside the world of automobile: Kenya Hara, the man responsible for much of the success of Muji, and Shigeru Ban, the distinguished Japanese architect currently designing a new satellite gallery in Metz for Paris’ Pompidou Centre. The exhibition shows how Japanese car design reflects the ’soil and the spirit of Japan’, shown through concept cars and special home market models. Japan Car explores three themes while examining the future of mobility in cities. Japan, being both highly innovative and densely populated, can be seen as the driving force behind transport solutions for twenty-first century cities.
