Every Saturday night, Jon from FC/Kahuna and This Time of Night will be joined by friends from the wide, weird and wonderful world of electronic music for an evening of dancing drinking and falling over

The only music policy we have is that we don't have one; if it's good and makes you wanna dance is all that matters to us.

This week we're proud to host a live performance by Black Affair; the new Electro R&B of Steve Mason [ex-Beta Band frontman] with a cascade of synths and beats, in support of his debut single 'TAK! ATTACK!' on V2, October 8th.

A pouting, sensual electro-pop b-side in 'Blush' and a remix from Brixtonian beatsmith SuicideDogz, give the first taster of Black Affair's forthcoming long player 'Pleasure Pressure Point' set for release in the New Year.

Mixed with Warp artist Jimmy Edgar in New York, the Black Affair have delivered a collection of atmospheric, catchy, body rockin' tunes realising once again Steve Mason's status as one of UK music's great non-conformers.

Steve honed his haunting pop under the gaze of Myspace scrutiny, posting new songs, ideas and studio experiments as and when they happened, to a growing band of online fans.

Along the way an amalgam of musical allies amongst the new generation original artists. From Jimmy Edgar to SuicideDogz, through to London MC MissOddkid who duets on the future Black Affair release Same Same.

Afterwards, an accomplished and varied crew of top DJ talent will be joining in to make sure the party's always on. Expect the likes of (in no particular order) Paul 'Phones' Epworth, Ashley Beedle, Cagedbaby, Nathan Detroit, Barry Ashworth, Richard Norris, Justin Robertson, Dan Lywood, Jon Abblett and many more.

As one half of FC/Kahuna, Jon is one of the true pioneers of electronic dance music and has an impressive body of work behind him. The critically acclaimed FC/Kahuna album, 'Machine Says Yes', went on to sell over 50,000 copies and includes such landmark tracks as 'Glitterball', 'Hayling' and the title track itself.

As a DJ Jon has helped to create three of the most memorable London clubs of the last 10 years. The legendary Big Kahuna Burger from 1995 featured many of today's biggest names in music including The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Death In Vegas.

Headstart at Turnmills followed in 1999, a truly groundbreaking club experience that championed forward thinking electronic music. Dave Clarke, Andrew Weatherall, Josh Wink and Justin Robertson each joined Jon as monthly residents and Headstart provided the blueprint for many of the tech-edged nights out there.

Up next was 21st Century Bodyrockers in collaboration with Damian Lazarus and the City Rockers label, and once again Jon was at the forefront of pushing new music; Soulwax, Tiga and James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem all appeared here long before becoming the massive acts they are today.

Jon is currently in the studio working on his 'This Time Of Night' project and has recently completed remixes for Mika, Ali Love, The Rumble Strips and Armand Van Helden.
