Pour Decisions

29 May 2025 at 19.00–23.00

Join us at The Corner for a monthly get together of beers and wax

As a companion piece to the cross-disciplinary, multi-media publication Brewing Folk, this regular gathering is yet another feather in the pluming cap of our good friends Verdant Brewing Co’s extra-curricular activities. Encompassing a podcast, the Beer & Book Club, and regular parties at their Penryn taproom, not to mention their ongoing mission to bridge the worlds of music and beer with a steady flow of collaboration brews.

For anyone who couldn’t make it to Cornwall, Pour Decisions has come to London. Once a month, a carefully curated congregation of guests, ably hosted by resident DJ Doug Shipton, will share their wisdom and their wax, while the bar plays host to a line-up of your favourite hop-forward beers and special guest collaborations.


This month’s DJs

Mixmaster Morris (aka The Irresistible Force)

Morris is a bone fide institution. An encyclopaedia of music on two legs who has provided inspiration, adoration and deference to subsequent generations of electronic music royalty the world over. A first-generation punk who may have scrapped his safety pins but still wears defiance on both sleeves, he has wholly immersed himself in the world of electronic music, relentlessly and fearlessly cross-pollinating genres for the last four decades, morphing into THE holographic suit wearing authority on ambient chill-out music. A veritable patch bay polymath, his credits as a recording artist, DJ, tastemaker, remixer, producer, A&R scout, journalist, radio host, essayist (and more!) stretch far beyond the confines of this humble programme you are currently holding. Should you have slept through this crucial lesson in contemporary music history first time around, your homework is to seek out the seminal 1992 debut studio album by The Irresistible Force, Flying High, which is due to be reissued for the first time later this year on We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records.

DJ Food (aka Stricktly Kev)

A man whose talents are so immense he needs three names, Kevin Foakes is an insatiable devourer of graphic design and recorded sound, so it would make sense that he is also one of the finest purveyors of both. An indelible cornerstone in the history of Ninja Tune – as inhouse art director and now the last remaining member of the mutating four deck collective DJ Food (once featuring Coldcut’s Matt Black and Jonathan More, as well as Patrick Carpenter of Cinematic Orchestra) – his Solid Steel appearances and mixes have set an impossibly high bar to this day, while his kaleidoscopic genre defying DJ sets continue to amuse and bemuse, reaching deep into the deepest recesses of his eclectic myriad of cross-medium influences. All of this has combined to inform an impressive discography, extensive remix catalogue (Nightmares On Wax/David Byrne/The The/Amon Tobin/Amorphous Androgynous), and an enviable design portfolio. As a founding member of the Openmind collective while studying at Camberwell College for Art, the Telepathic Fish parties he played a key part in promoting (of which Mixmaster Morris was a central figure) remain the stuff of legend and an important, yet criminally overlooked, chapter in the still largely untold history of after-hours chill-out club culture.

Doug Shipton

When not scouring South London record shops and buying a million records a week, our humble resident DJ can be found bolstering the fecund world of independent music as co-founder of Finders Keepers Records as well as piloting mutable back room record label Fundamental Frequencies. Leaving no record unturned in the unearthing channel-hopping black wax artifacts from the alternate annals of subculture pop history, DJ duties have seen him traverse the globe sharing needle time with the likes of David Holmes, Andrew Weatherall, Jarvis Cocker, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Richard Norris (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve/The Time And Space Machine) and Graham Massey (808 State), whilst compilation call-ups have seen him pit his wits and his wax against The Gaslamp Killer, Bob Stanley (St. Etienne), and Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian) amongst others.
