Hey Folks,
Well, after a hectic Bank Holiday weekend which filled our heads with music, we enjoyed some superb sets from Guy Williams, Danny Verde & Brent Nicholls at Matinee, Pagano, Lady Bianca & Pete Wardman at Trade/Orange & two stunning back-to-back sets from Nick Tcherniak & Steve Thomas, then Jamie Head & Mickey D, all of which were testatment to the fact that we have some amazing talent here in London town.
But there were plenty of great D.J.'s on duty last weekend and in celebration we focus on two superb talents.
First up is gAylist scene legend Steve Pitron who continues to thrill across London's dancefloors, injecting that extra special amount of excitment into any event and performed magnificently at Trade/Orange to a stifiling & brimming main room at Fire. He also continues to produce top quality remixes of dance tracks which headline his and many fellow D.J's sets, working on artisits tracks that include Kelly Rowland, Kylie Minogue, Anastacia and dancefloor favourite Therese. With current residencies that include Juicy, Beyond, SuperMartXe and Lo-Profile in London, as well as regular appearances acroos Europe, his poplarity continues, having made a real name for himself at iconic club Crash over 10 years ago. His last series of compilations "Addicted" were extremly popular and we still haven't put Vol 1 down, although we suspect it will soon be superceded by his latest release "Ibiza Vibrations" which is a glorious collection of all the biggest anthems played out on the white isle this summer. Split into two volumes, to get your slice of the Steve Pitron magic go to http://stevepitronsessions.podomatic.com and make sure you download both volumes (we love the album covers too!).
Our other choice goes to Hi-Fi Sean Dickson who is now a regular face across some of London's most popular clubs, but his roots are in his native Scotland where he began in the D.J. game following his early days as a sonwriter, producer and frontman of non other than The Soup Dragons. He certainly made waves with a 5 year residency at "Burly" as well as co-promoting one of Scotland's biggest underground parties "Record Playerz", which cemented his introduction to the scene in London with appearances at Tonker & XXL before making a massive contribution to the very sucessful and still running Juicy where he remains a resident. He still has a passion for club promoting with his latest forray "Ursus Cave" receiving a very popular welcome launch at Barcode Soho and he really enjoys playing both there and at biiger sister Vauxhall. His style of music is very much on the tougher side of house with a hint towards the funky and he has an amazing ability to pick on tracks that others would overlook, making him one of the freshest talents around at the moment. His series of compiliations, Tech Noir & Psychedelic House continue with latest volume releases 5 & 9 out now at http://hifisean.podomatic.com evoking the "Hi-Fi" style, both which get a massive thumbs up from us.
Well, that's our choice for this time, two great D.J.'s with mixes out well worth a listen and you can catch them both playing this weekend at super afterhours club Beyond, with another "Belief" 12 hour spectacular, Steve on the main floor and Sean in the Terrace bar. Mind you, if you can't make it to Beyond you can be there in spirit by downloading & listening to their mixes.
Enjoy!
