Now you’re probably wondering, “Jamie, why the hell are you posting acoustic stuff? And OFAV? Why the rubbish change in name?”
Well wonder no more, people, as this is not Jamie, neither has he changed the name of the blog. This is OFAV (OneFourAudioVisual) and I have joined Jamie and his blog in his mission to bring you everything related to the artistic world.
Trying to put together a summary of what I can offer is proving quite difficult, YAB is already doing a great job in offering what he does. The only thing I can say that I can offer more of what YAB brings and maybe even widen the range of material that lands in the lap of YAB readers.
When speaking to Jamie, he told me that acoustic music/indie wasn’t his cup of tea, so for those who enjoy the sounds of UK Indie; I give you Northampton based band, Dirty Fair.

Here’s one for all of you peeps who love your Hip Hop and Breakdancing. At Plan B tonight, there will be a massive event, one you cannot miss really.
It’s only £6.00 OR £5.00 if you manage to write your name on the Facebook guestlist by clicking here!
There will also be DJ sets on the night too, brilliant ones may I add. The highly underrated Deft, who DJed at the same event as last week, will be throwing down an epic Ableton Live DJ set alongside Manni Dee. Deft was so good, he managed to convince DJ Alex Kella, who I manage as well as take bookings for, that Ableton is a perfect DJing tool. Alex by the way, despised Ableton live sets… until last week.
Anyhew, I recommend you come down to this. It starts at 8:30 and finishes at 2am, but it gets packed out REAL QUICK on a Thursday. Must be a Plan B thing, I have no idea.
I cannot wait to take pictures tonight, HIGH SHUTTER SPEED IS A MUST!
Deep progressive house label Anjunadeep, sister label of Anjunabeats which is owned by Above and Beyond, released Full Tilt’s ‘Take Me Away’ single yesterday and I absolutely love it. It features two tracks, the Original Mix and the Andrew Bayer & James Grant remix.
The Andrew Bayer & James Grant mix is featured on the Anjunadeep 04 compilation, which I am yet to buy. I don’t know why, but I’ve seen the tracklisting on that and I own quite a few of the tracks on there. Never the less, mix CDs are always good for the travels!
Unfortunately, this EP is a Beatport exclusive which means that YOUR WALLET WILL TAKE A POUNDING. But I think it’s worth it, it’s a neat gem to add to your sets. The breakdown is absolutely orgasmic, yet ambient at the same time. Standard from Anjunadeep!

Nu’Hippy in association with YABLDN present - F*CK THE PEACE EASTER MONDAY!
Tonight I shall be going to this event! The last time Nu’Hippy hosted an event was at Camden’s Barfly and they surprisingly filled it up for a weekday! Again, YAB is in association with this event, and it will see acts such as The Chase, Tides, Ian & The Bear, and one that I am very familiar with…Cloud Boat!
You can grab last minute tickets here, it should be a good one to end the Easter 4 day weekend! Oh and also, it’s 20% off drinks before 8pm! This doesn’t mean you should get totally gazebo’ed before then though! Just save yourself a little dosh when you’re there having a good time! :)
