“Super Electric Party Machine is a night filled with the newest stars of club-land who look like they’ve rolled straight out of The Blitz. Drag queens, dancers and all-out posers get down to filthy beats courtesy of Larry Tee. With heavy fashionable line ups and hard sweat dance-offs, it’s the only place to be” i-D
On January 13th Carnage Music present ‘Super Electric Party Machine’ - less a debut album, more an explosive statement piece from the notorious night of the same name, that’s been described by Time Out as “an always-fierce and always sweat-drenched polysexual party”.
The album features a weird and wonderful cast of producers, DJs, artists, performers, MCs and club-land characters. Larry Tee, Mike Q, Andrey Bartenev, Roxy Cottontail, Princess Superstar, Nwando, Sharon Needles, Cunty Savage, Lady Cartel, QBoy and singer-cum-cover girl Portia Ferrari make up this colourful, creative gang of esoteric characters, who go against the grain and do things their way.
Not for the faint-hearted and definitely not for the boring, Super Electric Party Machine is an eleven track attitude-packed riot of ghetto bass, badass booty, throbbing house and ballroom, packed with future club anthems that scream mainstream crossover.
This album was the brainchild of hotly tipped-new London producer/remixer AttackAttackAttack and New York dance-music lynchpin Larry Tee, who having run London's most newsworthy parties, now look set to become one of hottest new production duos. Despite being very young, AttackAttackAttack has already added his expert touch to remixes and productions for Sia, Iggy Azalia, Steve Aoki and REM. Expect 2014 to be the year that Super Electric Party Machine puts East London talent at the centre of the international entertainment map.
Super Electric Party Machine started life as a weekly London party that has since spread to Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin and Lisbon. It features live entertainment and to date has seen inspired turns from Brooke Candy, Charli XCX, A*M*E, Peaches, Darq E Freaker, Ssion, Le1f and reality TV star Sharon Needles (the winner of Rupaul Drag TV Show), not to mention DJ sets from Horse Meat Disco’s Severino, Raf Daddy from The 2 Bears, Danny Rampling, Hannah Holland and The Lovely Jonjo.
Ever the fashion lovers and trend starters, Super Electric Party Machine have also hosted parties for London designers like Henry Holland, Basso & Brooke and Louise Grey, plus several of the featured artists also have their own clothing labels.
With such a wealth of talent ensuring Super Electric Party Machine is one of the most individual and unique parties around, combined with the fact that London is a world leader for new music, it made perfect sense to showcase this huge groundswell of new underground talent.
