Lo-shi: Flasque - release party on March 17th 2013

Call And Response mates Lo-shi are unleashing their instrumental kraut'n'bass on the world for the first time in a home-listenable format, with a release party for their first album, Flasque, this Sunday. It's not strictly a CAR event, but everyone playing is connected with the label in some way, and all come highly endorsed. Jebiotto and Slow-Marico were on last autumn's Dancing After 1AM compilation, while DJ Memai has played at Fashion Crisis. I'll be playing, as will regular Fashion Crisis collaborator James Hadfield, and frequent DJ guest Sue from Youth is Wasted.
