Hey Folks,
Well, as promised and with heaps of new music to cover, like our last post, we continue the theme of “Pride” with all three of the D.J’s here performing at parties over the weekend, although these mixes have a much harder edge.
First up is yet another new mix from Brent Nicholls, who set the party well and truly alight at The Edge on Saturday evening, getting the whole of the bar dancing in an instant & then followed it up with a similarly uplifting & funky set at Club Together. In this mix, Brent goes a little deeper with his musical choices and as the title “underground” suggests, some of this material isn’t for the faint hearted! quoting the man himself "this mix shows that there is plenty of aceesible gay, sexy & uplifting house music out there without being lathered in vocals". Mind you, the compilation kicks off with, for us, THE record of 2009 so far, “Last Forever” by Norman Dorat but then, like the Northern Line escalators, takes you deep underground with a succession of tougher tunes that showcase this D.J’s diverse musical tastes & skills. We particularly like the 2009 version of “Needin You” by The Face, the Sugarstarr's & Sykes remix of the hard house classic, “To The Beat of The Drum” & David Penn’s “Our Darkness”. So, to catch your slice of the “Underground” (and we don’t mean the Tube), go to http://djbrentnicholls.com/music & click on the album cover to stream.
Next up is a D.J. talent that needs no introduction, but one who has made a real mark on the music scene. Originally from Manchester, where his first cut his stuff, bigger & better things were in store as he stepped out & hit the London scene mixing with some huge names, including Danny Teneglia & Junior Vasquez, opening lots of doors, not least gigs across the globe, special appearances for Radio 1, including the legendary “weekend” in Ibiza, even his own radio show on House FM. Add to this a whole string of mixes & recordings with some of the big D.J. talents in the hard house music game, as well as his various ventures into club promotion (Hoof, Reverse & the hugely popular Black Rabbit). With continual regular appearances overseas as well as residencies in London’s clubs, it is no surprise that he is one busy man, this weekend being a perfect example with spots at Lo-Profile, the White Party, then at the club which (for us) he is most synonymous with, Trade, having been resident during the Turnmills days & in the parties since. His performance at the 18th Birthday was awesome & he repeated it again this time round, having us dancing from start to finish of his set in Ministry’s main room. Of course it is non other than Guy Williams and in celebration, we just had to cover his latest mix, which was recorded live on the sunset terrace at “We Love Space Ibiza” on Sun 21st June (you can even hear the clubbers noises). To get you fill of some classic Guy, go to his download link at https://rcpt.yousendit.com/706026868b2fcf2d9f7cfe652ffbaf049bf2ef047.
Our final choice goes to one of our favourite D.J’s who never fails to entertain us every time we hear him play. We have chronicled his works in previous posts, but it goes without saying that his music genres of tech, electronic & progressive house have won him residencies throughout Europe and beyond, including Propaganda in Moscow, Queen in Paris, La Chapelle in Lyon & New York and Jazz in Rome, not to mention DTPM, Fiction & Discotec here in London. Recent outstanding performances at Barcode & SuperMartXe have only been eclipsed by his scintillating set at Trade’s Xmas party which was the real highlight for us. He repeated it all at Trade/Orange this Easter and did it again this Sunday at Trade “Pride 09 The Afterhours”, playing out to an audience packed “Box Room” and then in true Nick style partied with the best of us way past midday. So for those of you (naughty things) that missed his set yesterday, we suggest you go to http://nicktcherniak.podomatic.com where you will find his latest “June” mix, which epitomises his music style perfectly, but with an added afro/latin vibe hinting towards summer (well it is isn’t it!?). Just click on the download option or simply play & when you do, raise a glass to the man, not just for this fab mix that gets our tip top choice, but in celebration of his birthday today (Mon 6th July).
So, that’s our choices this time round which we hope (like us) you will love, but we still have lots of catching up yet, so watch this space for mixes from Hi-Fi Sean, Rob Sykes, Steven Artis, Max Morel, Leomeo & more!
In the meantime download or stream but enjoy!
