YES! We are incredibly excited to announce that this year you will find an extensive Wah Wah attendance at one of the summer’s finest festivals – Soundwave Croatia.

This year, beside the seaside, you will be able to hear Scrimshire playing with his full live band including Faye Houston from Resonators and Stac on vocal duties. Scrimshire will be playing new tracks from his album The Hollow along with live remixes and dub versions made perfectly for the sunny setting. Expect afrobeat, house and soul.

Stac returns to Soundwave this year to play classic tracks from Turn That Light Out alongside plenty of exclusive new songs. Last year when a massive storm set in Stac relocated to the warm and intense indoors of Barbarellas and then performed one of the festival highlights to a packed room. A mesmerising set that captivated a rowdy crowd of festival goers.

With her new EP alongside Royce Wood Jnr out now, a week of exclusive session tracks on Mary-Anne Hobbs’ XFM show out of the way and a new album in the making, expect to be mesmerised once more!

Stac will also be running around and putting on stunning performances with the OneTaste collective including the likes of Eska no less!

Celebrating the release of their 2nd album Lightfalls, the Part-Time Heroes will once again be in attendance. Expect several bouncing, beautiful DJ sessions to keep your weekend in exactly the kind of spirits it should be.

Our very own DJ legend Dom Servini himself will also be on board this year to grace the Soundwave decks with his own unique brand of afro funk, soul, beats and boogie and party classics – not to be missed.

And Scrimshire will also be playing a record or two…

And that is not all!

On the Friday Evening Wah Wah 45s will be hosting a KILLER boat party to really heat up your weekend!

Live music, beach bar DJ sets, a boat party, all in classic Wah Wah style! How big is THAT?!

Get tickets for Soundwave Croatia at their website right now, and follow Soundwave on facebook here too.

They don’t come along very often, especially with the boys producing a monthly 2 hour show for Space Invader Radio and Samurai FM too. So when a 1 hour 10 minute DJ mix pops up from the Part-Time Heroes you have to pounce on it! Especially when it’s as big as this one.

You can listen to and download it from their Soundcloud page, and you should really do it now…

===================

Following on from last year’s magnificent 10^th Birthday event, which saw over 1000 people attend, renowned UK record label Wah Wah 45s return to The Scala to showcase some of the imprint’s finest acts, new discoveries, new friends and welcome international guests from across the globe.

On Saturday November 27th we’re bringing together another enormous soundclash of musicians, DJs, beatboxers and VJs to once again give you the biggest and greatest Wah Wah Party known to man.

In the main room you’ll find yourself being warmed up and enchanted by the label’s number one chanteuse – and a lady who’s winning fans as impressive as Mark Ronson, The Mercury Music Prize and The Roots’ ?estlove – Stac. This unique talent will be performing with her full band and incredible 12-piece choir. And that’s just the beginning! We’ve got live sets from brand new Tru Thoughts signings The Hidden Orchestra (think Bonobo meets the Cinematics), and Matt Ford (AKA DJ Format) & Simon James’ new project The Simonsound (featuring Laura J Martin and Debbie Clare) before we unleash another live Wah Wah outfit on your ears in the shape of the fattest brass to come out of the East End since Pat Butcher, The Hackney Colliery Band! This ten piece brass juggernaut have been blowing the roofs off venues far and wide this year, and what better way to finish it off than with a headlining live set at our annual extravaganza.

And we’re not finished there! Room One also plays host to a quartet of the finest DJs known to humankind. Mancunian duo The Unabombers are famed for their legendary Electric Chair nights and seamless DJ sets taking in disco, soul, boogie and house. They don’t play very often in London, so when they do you can expect a roadblock. Similarly, you can expect the same when our co-headliner plays in the big smoke. Since moving to Columbia, Quantic’s UK sets are few and far between, but on the rare occasions he does make it to the capital you can expect to be dazzled by his selection of tropical rarities, hip hop treats, exclusives from his own productions and silky DJ skills. And talking of silky skills, our final guest has them in bucket loads. Maybe not a household name, but German DJ Florian Keller is one of our favourite DJs full stop. His “Party Keller” compilations (Compost Records) are simply brilliant, and his sets, comprising as they do of the finest funk, boogie and old skool rap, are not to be missed! With your favourite Wah Wah residents filling in elsewhere, this is the line-up you’ve been waiting for, and would be more than worth the ticket price alone were it not for two more rooms of musical mayhem!

We’re bringing something very different to Room 2 this year. The boys and girls from Musical Bingo host nights across the capital that combine everyone’s granny’s favourite pastime with quality DJs and a combination of top and rather kitsch prizes. You’ll receive your Musical Bingo card on entry to the venue, and games will take place on the hour between 11pm and 1am on the night.

Finally, in Room 3, we’re proud to present our latest signing, Resonators, who’ll be performing a live acoustic jam at 9pm sharp, so make sure you get down early to catch this extremely talented outfit. Then, we’ve invited one of London’s finest underground parties and Garden Party favourites Boglewaltz to bring their party to our party for one night only! They’ll be joined by some of Europe’s finest eclectic DJs who collectively make up The Scandinavian Jazz Mafia. Special guest DJ Astroboy from Edinburgh will also be stopping by to drop some quality global niceness, and if you need a break from all that, then head to the Wah Wah Shop for limited edition tees, stickers, vinyl and CDs courtesy of Hands On Music.

Optical delights come courtesy of our favourite light surgeons, Exceeda & Jim Hairy Eye.

Live recordings of The Apples, Part-Time Heroes and Ashley Thomas from last year’s landmark event at The Scala.

Flevan’s 4th full length release is out on Dec 14th 09 on Tru Thoughts. It’s a remix album, featuring several re-rubs of tracks from his ’27 Devils’ album. It includes remixes from Hint, Lack Of Afro, Regal, Vono Box & Azaxx. There are also several superb mixes from the man himself, Flevans.

But most importantly of course is the remix by Wah Wah 45s legends the Part-Time Heroes!

This year you have been treated to a number of remixes from the PTH boys and this one will certainly bring back memories of Carnival for most of us (even if it is snowing outside right now).

Find out more about how to get the PTH remix on the Tru Thoughs website…

Part Time Heroes, with Laura Vane and Bridgette Amofah, performing live at the Wah Wah 45s 10th Birthday bash @ Scala in London, 30/10/09.
