BREAKFAST@EGG.W/ X-Press 2! - 2009/03/18 16:26
X-Press 2: first burst onto the international club scene in 1993 with the demented sirens, typewriter-noise percussion and dance floor pyrotechnics of Muzik Express. The three DJs, Ashley Beedle, Rocky and Diesel all from unfashionable suburbs of London, had each played leading roles in the capitals cooler, more influential club scenes.
Their first studio session left them cold theyd intended to sample an old Cloud One track but that typewriter percussion noise was all that survived. Everyone else disagreed. Muzik X-Press was an instant worldwide club hit. DJs as influential as Pete Tong and New Yorks Junior Vasquez then in his Sound Factory prime loved it. Clubbers around the world declared it an instant anthem. Its follow up, the juddering, funky London X-Press with its exhortation to "raise your hands!" was just as monstrously successful, it was the daft dancefloor smash, Say What, that came next. When their records began to get, as Ashley puts it, "more oblique", the three were content to put X-Press 2 aside and move onto other projects, and the three moved effortlessly into jazzier, funkier, more downbeat arenas with their internationally respected Ballistic Brothers team-up.
In April of 2000 X-Press 2 found themselves back together on the road and in the studio. In 2001 they released the mighty AC/DC. The boys were back in town. Into 2002 the singles Muzikizum and Lazy (more on that later) followed before the lads dropped their debut album also titled Muzikizum, the album was critically acclaimed and charted at number 15 in the national charts. A massive success.
"Breakfast is a institution and is incomparable to any other afterhours in London. The party is the biggest of its kind in the capital.. Falling over 3 floors (the basement: minimal tech, the terrace: house, electro, prog) and the loft: soulful house. We also of course have the infamous EGG
garden. The garden is the very heart of what makes Breakfast special. A place to chat, smoke, drink, be very silly, dance like loonies and even do cartwheels if you wish!! Covered and heated in the winter months and uncovered in the summer for that "SPACE, IBIZA" terrace feel. The garden sees different themes every month, from a full beach (no heonestly), a mad hatters tea party, a graveyard, to lit up 70's style dancefloors.. You really have no idea what will be coming next when you walk in the venue
