We all know by now Filth don’t muck about: Just because it’s the New Year, when clubs traditionally churn out the residents and little else, that doesn’t mean Filth are leaving you out in the cold. Instead, they’ve got what could already be one of the party’s of the year planned on Jan 9th when 2009 breakthrough gem Riva Starr stops by to launch his new album... January blues? Ha! Not at Filth...

In less than 12 months Riva Starr has risen to prominence after storming releases like his ‘Thizzle’/'China Gum' 12" for Jesse Rose's Frontroom Recordings. Then came the ‘Scratch 'n' Itch’ EP for Fatboy Slim’s imprint, Southern Fried, before he hit the Beatport top ten with 'La Conga EP’ for Claude Vonstroke's Dirtybird Label. After such a solid start in the production arena it’s no wonder Riva now has a full album of weekend weapons all to himself, the likes of which are likely to receive as much support as his early work did, such is their freshness. From thumping, tribal rhythms, to Latin vocals, flowery percussion via house sensibilities and tech-y dance floor dynamite, Riva has many strings to his bow and is likely to call on them all come Jan 9th.

If that’s not enough Oliver $ is also set to play, along with the always energetic and never predictable Filth residents we all know and love, Eddi, Jamie and rising house talent Will Matui, as well as King Tut & The Wookie and Lee-Michael Kelsall.

Oliver $ has remixed house talents like Jesse Rose, Justin Martin and Armand van Helden, has had his tracks licensed to Get Physical compilations and has played Fabric such are his skills. His productions have also made it on to Jesse Rose’s Made to Play label (an imprint known releasing tracks aimed squarely at the dance floor) and he is also resident at the World’s Number 1 club – Panorama in Berlin. Mr. $ has already earned himself a valuable name among current scene leaders like Claude von Stroke, Derrick Carter and Ricardo Villalobos for his consistent quality and light-hearted approach, so Filth are proud to have him.

So, burn off some of those festive calories with a damn good dance floor workout alongside a packed club of brightly coloured, high spirited Filth ravers.
Let’s start the year as we mean to go on: in style.
