Distrikt Videos

Distrikt's 1st birthday was really good fun last weekend. Maurice Fulton was wicked, amazing music and he mixes old disco with live drums absolutely effortlessly - not a dropped beat or hi-hat clash all night! I took a couple of videos throughout the night when Me & Seb were playing and thought I would bang them on here. There is a link at the bottom to the pics Soonnight took also - some really good shots.

DISCO FUTURE HEROES?

The amount of legitimate free music that I am aquiring and actually loving to death at the moment is phenomenal - soundcloud is surely the best thing in the world at the moment for aspiring disco/re-edit producers and fans.

Check these guys out - they are the absolute fucking bomb!

IBIZA ROCKS..

I have landed a residency at the Ibiza Rocks Bar (formerly Bar M) for the summer season in Ibiza. I've been playing 2/3 times a week for the preparties for the nights at Eden, Amnesia and Es Paradis such as Cream and Pete Tong's Wonderland. It's so far been very fun but also very challenging as rather than knocking out my normal set of disco through to pitched down house music I have had to adapt (quite a lot!) when warming up for DJ's playing the bar such as Zane Lowe..... The first two hours are where I can really play the music that I want but I have enjoyed the challenge of having to play and mix music that is a lot faster, tougher and harder than the kind of stuff I would normally put on!

Definitley having a lot of fun out here though, loving the lifestyle, sunshine and ridiculously cheap alcohol.

I normally play Saturdays and Sundays and one night during the week - if you are out on the White Isle this summer pop in for a quick sangria!

SEMI-DETACHED BBQ THIS WEEKEND

We had a cracking time playing at the Cognosco afters at Stinkys Peephouse in the early hours of Saturday morning last weekend and after a couple of days rest we now have our eyes firmly planted on the weekend ahead. After a couple of years in the wilderness we launch Kill The Disco again this weekend as we host the VIP room at Beaverworks for the first of Detached's summer BBQ parties.

Detached have really been on fire this year and have had the likes of Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero and Derick May spin some tunes at their wicked warehouse venue on the outskirts of Leeds. I've had the privelege of knocking out some disco in the backrooms quite a few times and each time I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

It' all kicks off around 10pm and there will be a BBQ in the courtyard for the first couple of hours - We have invited our friends from Filthy Habit to come and play after they hosted such an excellent boat party a couple of weeks ago. Full event details are here - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=112753342088331&ref=ts AND HERE... http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=102169

NEW MIX FROM MOI - I LOVE YOU BUT I'VE CHOSEN DISCO..

Just had a cracking weekend playing at Detached at Beaverworks in the new Room 4 - the event was absolutely heaving and there was some top class techno being knocked out in the main room. The Modern Love showcase downstairs was quite lush on the ears and the venue itself is quite simply amazing - warehouse vibes central. Anyhow, new mix from me, representing what you would expect to hear should you catch me playing anywhere.

BIO:

Five years ago, I would have been plying your ears with two mixes of sci-fi electro so spooky it would have had Luke Skywalker running for his light sabre. Whilst I am still a massive fan of the aforementioned music, over the past 2-3 years (and especially now I have reached the grand old age of 25) I have been getting more and more into the dubby, disco and downtempo sounds that my local record emporium has been able to provide. This was initially due to my residency at Kill The Disco (see below) where I realised the latest Anthony Rother and DMX Krew releases perhaps wouldn’t suit an 8pm warm up slot, but since then, my hunger for these sounds has burgeoned and now I quite frankly cannot get enough! A very bizarre Monday night in Berlin dancing to the most unbelievable underground 80’s disco music in the infamous Tachelles Squat venue has further increased my appetite to expand my knowledge of disco music both old and new.

In the previous few years I was involved in running a night entitled ‘Kill The Disco’, which began in my hometown of Middlesbrough before emigrating to Leeds when the vast majority of us involved began University commitments there. Will Saul, Marc Ashken and DNCN were among some of the many guests knocking out shapes behind the hallowed turntables. The night ran for the best part of a year and a half and grew from a weekly free party in a small bar to hosting numerous events at both the Mint Club and Cornerhouse. More recently I have begun playing in the back rooms at the last few Detached nights at Beaverworks, with headliners such as Derick May, James Ruskin, Andy Stott and Pendle Coven appearing on the same line up. I also play the Cognosco after parties at various venues of debauchery across the city.

I have been a runner up in the I-DJ raw talent competitions twice, once in May 2005 and again in July 2006. I ran a radio show entitled 'Live @ The Underground' on www.lsrfm.com for three years whilst I was studying for my BA and over the duration of the show we attracted guest mixes and appearances from the likes of Billy Nasty, Tim Sheridan, Ellen Allien, Slam, Marco Passarani and James Holden amongst many others. The show was featured in both I-DJ magazine and DJ Mag as podcast/radio show of the week/month (or something like that!).

This mix is what I'd hope to play in a club with no restriction - starting off nice and slow and deep before building it up a little (but not too much!). I like to play for as long as possible if I get the chance so if you can imagine this mix spread over three or four hours then you'll get a pretty good picture of how my set would go.

I do hope the sounds on this CD are kind on your good folk’s ears, and all comments are appreciated!

A TECHNO VALENTINES GIFT

Detached is hosting it's Valentines party and if you are searching the internet for that elusive romantic gesture for your special day then I don't think you can go far wrong with buying her a ticket for this event at Beaverworks on the 13th. The main room is hosted by Labyrnth Records but it is the basement that grabs my attention where Modern Love stalwarts Pendle Coven and Andy Stott headline; I love that warm dubby techno sound these two produce and an appearance from fellow Modern Lover Claro Intelecto would have been the icing on the cake.

Alas, it is not to be, but rather than getting saddened by this you can comfort yourself with the fact that I will be doing my disco/house thing in Room 4 alongside Errol Brown (Dirty Disco), Scott Broadhead (Detached) and Mundyke (Audio Punk Records). Should be a cracker as always and you can buy advance tickets for the event HERE or alternatively send me a message on here or Facebook and I should be able to sort out some kind of discount guestlist..
