Hey Folks,
Well, after a long break we are back with our music recommendations and by way of catch up we are covering four artists in this post, although the plan will be to concentrate on just two per newsletter, with releases planned for each Saturday. Anyway, lets crack on with our recommendations this time.
First up is D.J. "Hi-Fi" Sean Dickson, who has cemented a number of residencies across the scene, including Juicy at Fire, Beyond at Area, Hard-On! at Hidden and regualr appearances at Barcode Vauxhall. He performed superbly at the massive Hustlaball party back in May and also featured in the launch of Suzie Kruger's new night "sex" at The Sweatbox. Add to that his forray into club promoting with "Loaded" and it is clear this man has many strings to his bow, not least his reputation for playing out a true mix of tough, raunchy, chunky & funky tech house. His latest two mixes "Pyschedelic House" Vol 8 & "Tech Noir" Vol 4 are trademark Hi-Fi Sean, the latter laid down directly following a recent gig at Beyond, where he played out to an ardent following in the black room. Listening to both mixes transports us back to this magical space where we often "dance under the mirrorball" (camp or what!?!). To get downloads of his compliations go to http://hifisean.podomatic.com and click on the relevant options.
Next up is hard working Italian D.J. talent Micky Galliano who has established a reputation for mixing superb euro style deep & electro house, having been influenced by some of big names in D.J. circles holding down residencies in his home country. Heading to London in 1999, he had the opportunity to play out at clubs including Ministry of Sound, Turnmills, Pacha & Mass, but he really made a name for himself at Vertigo, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Danny Rampling, Pete Heller & David Piccioni, which soon lead to regular appearances at Ibiza's Space & El Divino as well as clubs back in Italy. He has also starred behind the decks of London's clubs recently, most notably at SuperMartXe, where he set the main room alight with his energy and enthusiasm. He continues to tirelessly work in the studio intermixed with trips around the scene across Europe and his mix "Mad Summer 2009" is evocative of his life & music style, being a vibrant mix of everything that is great about euro & deep house at the moment. To grab your slice of Mr Gailliano's music, go to http://mickygalliano.podomatic.com and locate the mix.
Our third choice goes to D.J. Alessandro, another Italian, that has really made a name for himself on the London scene over the last two years and played out regularly at Barcode & Fitladz which secured resident slots at Lo-Profile and Matinee, which have firmly established him a a torre de force in the D.J. scene circles of London. He can be seen playing at premier bar venue Rupert Street every Sunday and is the power behind lining up some great D.J's there on Saturdays, including, Jamie Head, Paul Heron & Robb Sykes. Alessandro is passionate about his style of electro, funky & tech infused house and it is at Matinee where his style has particualr effect, his most recent set at new home Cable being a perfect example. Other apperances include Club Together, Pendulum, & bpm and some of London's biggest club brands are hankering for his services, being testament to this man's talents. He continues to work regularily on compliations and his latest release https://download.yousendit.com/MnFoMFhqQ0NnYU5jR0E9PQ is well worth adding to any collection.
Last up is scene favourite Brent Nicholls who has been busy laying down some new mixes this summer, squeezing this between his D.J. appearances at clubs Industri, Matinee, Hard-On! Sex, Barcode & Lo-Profile, amongst other duties that keep him very busy indeed. To pin down a particular music style within the genre's that this talented D.J. turns his hands to would be difficult, as his mixing skills range from uplifting, comtemporary, dance house, through funky chunky & electro house, to deep & dirty underground house. He seems to have an amazing ability to spot forthcoming dancefloor hits before most others and continues to keep his audiencies instep with the latest sounds. This is definately true of his latest compliation Disco Electrique which parades some superb beats to truly capture the electronic, the uplifiting, the dirty & the disco in us, with surprise 90's pop tracks remodelled, current floor fillers & remixes of recent big house tunes lined up against deep dance tracks, which are blended to perfection. To get a sample of this superb fusion of sounds, spread across two volumes go to http://djbrentnicholls.com/music and follow the stream instructions.
Well, thats our "catch up" choices & some scintilating sounds out while we were on our summer sabactical. Now back on track, our next post will be celebrating everything that is Matinee, with latest single & compilation releases from D.J./Producer Danny Verde & D.J./Club Promoter Oliver M., so keep your eyes peeled for that.
In the meantime download, play or stream our choices and enjoy!
