EROL & FILTHY DUKES AT BIG IN JAPAN....

So I did have a nice little blog post planned - which would have been fine for any nice little wednesday evening, but this isn't just any wednesday evening - news went out that EROL ALKAN will be playing BIGINJAPAN in february. It's been in the pipeline for weeks but we can finally break our silence. Yes february seems like a long way away - but we're SO excited! It's part of the legendary Kill Em All club night usually based at fabric... but the Filthy Dukes fancied a seaside getaway so are heading down, mayhem in tow, to the sunny little town we call Bournemouth...

KILL EM ALL @ BIG IN JAPAN FEATURING: EROL ALKAN, FILTHY DUKES, STOPMAKINGME, A LOVE SUPREME and TOSH OHTA. 18/02/10

FIRAS WEAZ THIS WEEK + BIGINJAPAN TSHIRT COMP !!!

BIG POST COMING UP.... so prepare yo selves.

First up... FIRAS WEAZ (FILTHY FEW) take their rightful place as the basement guest DJ's this week (tomorrow!) - their LDN club night, started in November 2006 (the same year as us!), has played host to the likes of FLORENCE & THE MACHINE, LATE OF THE PIER, FRANKMUSIK, MASTER SHORTIE, KISSY SELL OUT, SCARLOT HARLOTS, TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS & many more...

As they say "In at nutshell; music that rocks our world has a definitive beat, plenty of bass...and that factor that makes you want to cavort around the dancefloor like you're a person possessed."

Expect big things.

and checked their website for free podcasts... FILTHYFEW.CO.UK

BIGINJAPAN TSHIRT DESIGN COMPETITION

We're excited here at BIGINJAPAN... for the first time we've decided to get tshirts printed in the new term... But... we want YOU to design it!

Those plastic hearts are setting you a bit of holiday homework over the christmas break - we want to see you get creative, think drawings, photos, fingerpainting even - ANYTHING! The only thing we ask is that you have the BIG IN JAPAN name in the artwork.

The winner gets to see their design printed on a limited amount of tees (of course we'll give you some for free), and have a few rounds of drinks on us!

And as this wasn't enough... To celebrate the first BIGINJAPAN tee's, we'll be kicking off the new collection, gala fashion Vogue style party at dusk. Expect a catwalk, visals and hot hot fashion photo shoot with photography joe.

Just send your designs to jason@big-in-japan.co.uk 
(please send in jpeg format 72 dpi, the winner will have to send the file in higher resolution)


Lastly... check back in the next few days for BRAND NEW PHOTOS.

fit xx
