Hey Folks,
Well, as 2009 draws to a close, what a year it has been for music, which has definitely been the answer to our problems and in a “special” round up post due out on Thursday, we look back on some great tracks, compilations & more that made a real impact across dancefloors & in living rooms, also voting for our favourites (will they be yours too?).
But in our last regular post, as promised, we focus on two gifted talents, who have similar tastes in music, although that’s where the comparison ends, although both had an immediate impact of the London scene when they launched their D.J’ing careers here.
First up is the cute & sexy Eduardo de La Torre, who will be best known to Londoners for his performances at Matinee in its days at super club Colosseum. A native of Venezuela with those smokingly sexy South American looks, Eduardo took to the D.J’ing game really early, moving to Miami at the age of 16 and drawing musical inspirations while finishing off his schooling, then moving to Spain experiencing & guesting at some of the best clubs in Barcelona, Seville, Madrid & Valencia. But it was the raw & tough euro sounds coming out of Germany & Holland that grabbed him and it was inevitable that he would again up sticks, moving himself & all his D.J. equipment to Berlin, where he got the opportunity to play regularly at Generation bar. With his name spreading like wild fire, gigs at Hamburg Pride, Gay Happening, & Pearls Of The Night followed, with appearances at clubs United Hamburg, Spundloch Club, Gay Convention & Krefeld to name just a few. However, London was calling & monthly visits soon made the city his permanent home, which thrusted him into the eyes of the capitals club promoters, securing the Matinee residency as well as Future, Revolver, & every Friday at Ku Bar, but with a long list of appearances across the scene. However, London’s loss was Germany’s gain, as he once again returned to his beloved Berlin where he now lives & works, with a regular spot at uber sexy club Ken and plenty more besides at Cologne & Hamburg, but also across northern Europe, where his funky, tribal, Latin inspired, vocal & electro style of music goes down a storm. And this is no better displayed than in his latest mix, “Addicted To Berlin”, classic Edu at its sheer best, which you can listen to & download at http://djdelatorre.podomatic.com, not forgetting that if you are around Berlin, drop into club Ken where he is resident every week & plays on NYE.
Now to our second talent, Tim Mcloone, a name relatively new to many, but in the short time he has been on the scene in London, has definitely made an impact, already racking up guest appearances at Crash, Future, Beyond & Brighton Pride to mention just a few. Music came early to him, as at a young age Tim took to playing instruments, becoming skilled in both the piano & the guitar, but with an ever increasing interest in the music others played, he seemed destined to become a D.J., although his earlier influences were in the indie & metal genre’s, listening to bands like Queens of The Stonehenge & Mars of Volta (heard of them?) and whilst house music was to lead him into his D.J. career, strands of both metal & indie still run through his sets. In 2004, Tim moved to London, where the house scene was well & truly rocking & soon became drawn into gAylist clubbing, where listening to tunes was followed by an ever increasing & developing collection of first vinyl’s and then, following the trend, CD’s, which allowed him to experiment in the D.J. game, first playing at friends parties and then appearing at bars like Barcode & South Central (now The Eagle), where he was noticed & soon signed up to play in some of the clubs he loved dancing in. Tim also loves mixing music and his latest, entitled “Release” is well worth a listen, being a collection of vocal & progressive tracks to get those hands in the air and feet more than just tapping. Catch it now at http://timmcloone.podomatic.com & catch him, regularly at funky, hunky club Megawoof & this NYD at the massive event “As One”.
Well, that’s our music choices up for this time and as 2009 draws to a close, the last of the year when we focus on two talents. However, as mentioned earlier, in a special post due out on 31st, we look back on some of the great compilations of the year, the tunes that made the biggest impact on gAylist dancefloors and the D.J.’s that not only made it big in 2009, but performed exceptional sets. We also cast our vote for the best single of the year, the best mix and the best D.J. set and with the choices available, it’s going to be a tough one for sure, but with so many great mixes, singles & D.J’s out there, you, like us will realise that “Music IS The Answer”.
In the meantime, don’t forget to visit http://seenqueen.com/music where you can get all the latest mixes released by your favourite D.J’s as well as Seenqueen’s very own “Top 10” chart.
So, as we get ready to wave goodbye to the “noughties” and embark on a new musical decade, sit back and enjoy our latest choices & as we love to say, let the music play!
