About Me

Bittersweet, because life is.....


Welcome to our webpage. A clubnight for like minded people. A banging party atmosphere where you can let rip on the dance floor to the funkiest dirty house and electro, or chill and chat in the bar to a vintage blend of roots, world music, funk & electronica. Born out of a love for music, having a top night with mates, and then some... join us on our journey, the quest for the new sound. Perhaps you too will find your door to kukundoo?

Jane Dinmore: DJing since at school, a teenage taste for dancing at rare groove & funk clubs and hip hop parties lent to vinyl hoarding and DJing. At Art College Jane was the resident DJ supporting mostly Acid Jazz bands that were doing the rounds in the early 90’s. Hanging around with performance artists and creative types lend to MOONA, anti club parties with vintage up tempo music & arty cabaret. Jane has played funk to post punk, to rockabilly, to house, decades of soul and hip hop for b-boys and indie rockers. Wild Hammond organ & trumpet instrumentals are always a MOONA set list favourite. http://www.unclejane.com
Cardiac: DJing in East London since 1998, having spun at major hotspots including Fabric, Turnmills, and 333 club. His collective hosted Mooch rooms at www.Hoxtonpimps.com clubnights, performing mammouth 6-hour DJ sets at these underground parties, alongside the likes of Attica Blues, Fat Truckers, Roots Manuva. 1999: Drum and Bass DJ set at 200% Tripaller infekt, Dresden Germany. 2001: Promoter of regular clubnight Mooch at Bar Cocomo, co-promoter of various other DJ nights in bars around East London. 2005: DJ set alongside Radioactive Man at Shifty@ on the Rocks, London. www.shifty.org.uk for details. Cardiac started producing tunes at the tender age of 12, creating multi-track style recordings of his cheap casio keyboard using two tape recorders. Later on came sampling using a special alarm clock, and making tape loops from cassettes. The second phase consisted of simple loop-based music made with a Yamaha QY70, leading to the current phase of music-making, based around laptop computer. 2005: Chief commander track played at Burntprogress @ Plastic People, London, to critical acclaim. Back in UK now after a year in NZ and Australia, his recent track Week Impression (2007) went down a storm at Burntprogress "Week Impression:Dubstep! And serious dubstep at that. Cardiac have been reaching for a few sessions now...deep bass smacked us square in the gut. Cardiac you have bare skills in the bottom octave". (May 2007)http://www.myspace.com/djcardiac
