Fabriclive 43: Switch & Sinden Present Get Familiar
Two years ago, Graeme Sinden and Dave 'Switch' Taylor decided to knock heads on a bimonthly residency at Fabriclive in the shape of a club night named, quite aptly, Get Familiar. At the time, they described the night thus:
"It's an anything-goes eclectic club music blaze of the best in everything forward-thinking and party - from the booty popping sounds of Baltimore Club Music and Rio's Baile Funk to JA's upfront Dancehall riddims, hyperactive Hip Hop to House/Electro and everything that's good in-between. Expect familiar DJ faces and live bands at the top of their game to kick it alongside the hottest up and coming acts from around the world, as well as over-looked scene legends."
And that's exactly what they've done. Since January '06, Get Familiar has grown from strength to strength, showcasing immense live performances from South Rakkas Crew, Buraka Som Sistema, Kid Sister, Spank Rock, Plastic Little, Bonde Do Role, Kool Keith and Boy Better Know; jam-hot DJ sets from DJ Funk, Diplo, A-Trak, DJ Assault, Toddla T, The Rub, The Heatwave, Sany Pitbull, Dexplicit and Hot Chip, among countless others. Showcasing an all-embracing variety of sounds and styles, their programming for Get Familiar mimics Switch & Sinden's unconventional creations as a production duo.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
