next thursday and friday dalston - london's latest 'little neighbourhood that could' - gets taken over by the inaugral land of kings festival. utilising many of the spaces in the area that have hosted some of the hottest parties of the last couple of years the event offers punters access to 10 venues hosting the great and good of 2009's musical landscape. most of those appearing having connections with the area, or call the place home.

the crowded line-up includes faze action, slutty fringe, kathy diamond, joel martin, idjut boys, rory phillips, john burgess and many more. check the full list here. we'll be there as well on the friday getting all nostalgic about past hungover walks to dalston mcdonalds for an egg mcmuffin. you can find us in the basement of dreams (95 kingsland high street) from 11 alongside serge santiago and living in a disco.

also on the line-up are arch diggers soft rocks. to celebrate they've put together this mix - "a brief stroll up what Kingsland Road might sound like in our heads - some reggae, turkish vibes, arabic disco, jazz, afrobeat and a touch of psych."
