Hey Folks,
With the spotlight on D.J.'s not just being out there playing & entertaining in clubland, but also remixing & producing music, we are proud that the gAylist scene in London sports some great exponents, a whole handfull also having associations both past & present with one of our favourite clubbing brands Matinee, think, Guy Williams, Paul Heron, Nick Tcherniak & Pagano, all who are making waves in the producing market.
So in celebration of D.J. producing, remixing (even mixing) and ofcourse with their Bank Holiday spectacular at Cable this weekend, we are focussing on all things Matinee with two talents that are great exponents of the game.
First up is non other than D.J. Oliver Mohns aka supremo of Evolved Events behind Matinee London as well as spin off clubs Revolver & bpm. With long associations with Matinee over the years, Oliver was out in Barcelona for the Circuit Festival earlier this month, playing at Salvation's VIP pool party and being in the thick of it during Salvation's main party at Space Barcelona, then at the massive Waterpark Festival, the huge Circuit main party in the Olympic Stadium and the incredible La-Leche closing party. His summer has seen a host of other gigs across Europe and moving Matinee London from Colosseum to Cable has been a major part of his focus. But his D.J. talents always shine through & with recent regular appearances at The Box in Covent Garden, our Friday's have never been so good! In celebration of The Circuit Festival, he has released a special mix entitled "Salvation Live at The Circuit Festival" which features some of the summer's biggest house tunes and in his words "Get yourself beamed away again to Barcelona and Ibiza with this compilation before the summer ends". To download go to http://djoliverm.podomatic.com and click on the link. But it doesn't stop there, as Oliver has been busy in the studio producing a new house track "Strings Of Motion", which we were really lucky to priviledge the first public airing in London two weeks ago. Working with D.J/Producer Jean Phillip, this is a truly uplifting house track in true eurostyle fashion which we are sure will become one of 2009's biggest hits, especially when the original vocal version gets released. You can stream the track by going to http://djoliver.com or download at http://download.yousendit.com/MnFqTmZhU1BPSHhFQlE9PQ
The other D.J./Producer to get our attention this week is Italian Danny Verde who has exploded onto the European clubbing scene over the last twelve months, his talents migrating from his native Milan to cities across Europe, including Cologne, Paris, Madrid, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and even here in London where he played at Revolver in February. Danny also starred in the D.J. line up at The Waterpark in Barcelona during the recent Circuit Festival and played a storming set, which resulted in appearances at the iconic DBoy to add to his ever increasing list of venues & gigs. But its in the studio where his meticulous & hard work has really paid off, with some superb tracks produced, including "Pushin To the Top" & "Open Your Heart" which have featured on many D.J.'s playlists across the capital & beyond. He has worked with the likes of Phil Romano & Pagano, his latest collaboration with Phil, "Express Yourself" feat Anna Buckley reaching the top 10 on Masterbeat.com and djdownload.com. Other recent remixes include Pagano & Wayne G feat Peyton "Trapped" and G.Martin & Alex Barroso feat Rebeka Brown "This is my life", to add to Blow Up "Let Me See Your Underwear" and Pagano feat Stewart Who "Back To the Future", which have secured his reputation in the production game. As if that wasn't enough, it looks like he may well make this years top 100 at djmag.com, a true accolade indeed. So, to get your slice of his remixes & music visit http://myspace.com/dannyverde where you can grab download details of his work. What's better, why not hit Matinee at Cable tonight (Sat 29th August) when Danny will headline in the bpm room.
Well, thats our Matinee tainted tip top choices this week, which we hope you will enjoy and don't forget that Oliver M will also be playing at Matinee with a b2b set with Moussa.
