Hey Folks,
Well, there is no doubt that some of the scene’s favourite D.J.’s have not let the dust settle on their mixing decks, as the New Year has already brought a myriad of releases that have left us floundering in an attempt to keep up, not helped by being laid low for the last few days.
Anyway, now back on track, we get ourselves up to speed, focussing on two talents that are new to our posts, but nevertheless deserve their place, as not only are they superb D.J’s but each have made an impact across gAylist London and beyond, also both having produced new compilations of their live New Year’s Day sets.
First up is the supremely talented & gorge looking to boot, Mattias, who first grabbed our attention at Lovechild’s London launch last year, although he has been skimming our radar for a while before that. A product of Sweden but with definite afro-scandinavian blood in his making (a beautiful combination), Mattias has been playing with music since he was a 5 year old and it was this early interest that saw his parents encourage a spurning talent, securing all the musical education he needed in his homeland. It was inevitable that the draw of the Swedish nightlife & clubbing scene would attract a post graduate Mattias, although it was a trip to London’s iconic club “Trade” in 1994 that changed his life, when he met the then co-promoter of global brand “Salvation”, Alex Erfan, who brought him into the fold, recognising his eye for the D.J’ing game. Mattias’s “Salvation” residencies & tours spurned appearances in clubs across Europe including Antwerp’s “Red & Blue”, Paris’s “Queen”, Malmo’s “Wonk” and “Heaven” in Ibiza and again it was Salvation in London that got him spotted & resulted in guest appearances at club events across the capital, securing his reputation for filling out the dancefloor with his funky, electro, progressive and Latin tainted house, always being capable of reacting superbly to his audience. Bang up to date & Mattias regularly appears at Barcode Vauxhall, at many events at Fire, continues to play for Alex Erfan, being in the thick of it at Hustlaball last May and intrinsically linked to Lovechild since its inception in the capital. We have been privileged to enjoy some scintillating sets of his, which included a fabulous performance in the Lovechild room at “As One” on NYD, which he recorded for posterity via his self designed special D.J. computer. If you were there to savour his set, what better way to be reminded than going to http://djmattias.podomatic.com/ and clicking on the “Lovechild @ As One NYD 2010 Live” mix and for those that weren’t, you can experience the magic that is Mattias, not to mention previous mixes of his, many including his remixing & rehashing of popular dance floor hits. 2010 looks like being another busy year for maestro Mattias and you simply cannot miss him at “Lovechild’s” first birthday on 13th February.
Our other delectable devotion goes to Tony English, the larger than life D.J./Producer & radio presenter, who certainly knows how to live his life to the full and never seems to stop. Music is central to Tony’s existence and he thrives in and around the social circles it creates, spreading his enthusiasm and extrovert yet endearing charm wherever he goes. And he does go some, globetrotting whenever he can, whether it be work, with top clubbing brands “Puscha” & “Bora Bora” with their world tour, or visiting his beloved Spain & of course the white isle, Ibiza. But, back home, Tony’s real passion is his radio show on Push FM, which goes out every Saturday evening. Push is, without doubt, THE radio show for D.J’s and Mr English’s skills in networking have brought some of the world’s biggest talents in house music to his show, the list being huge but includes Roger Sanchez, Bob Sinclair, Frankie Knuckles, Robbie Rivera & Seamus Haji, as well as recent big hit names that have had an impact of the gAylist scene in the capital, J Velarde, Juanjo Martin, & Danny Verde. So, you can imagine that the music through the show is absolutely top notch and in his own words is “a medium for up to the minute information on global club land events and the most cutting house music”, so is a must listen, which you can do by simply logging into http://pushfm.com/ & clicking on the “play” icon under listen live on the home page (don’t forget....6 p.m. every Sat). Tony also works with some of London’s biggest club venues, Matter, Fabric & MOS, through his show, with free ticket offers & more, so by now should have a picture of this influential & evervescent character, although, away from the limelight he is a very private person & no amount of research & digging has deluded us to his home life or origins. But, we know Tony best for his appearances at super gAylisting clubs “Lovechild” & “SuperMartXe”, he having really got the party going at “Lovechild’s” inaugural London event as well as at Alex Erfan’s latest sexy outing, at Fire back in December. Logan Schmitz has also seen the talent in Mr English, particularly his slant towards the Spanish sound, so “SuperMartXe” is part of Tony’s biograph and his appearance at the NYD party “Alice In Wonderland” is what we concentrate on, with his latest compilation, an extract of his set, which you can grab now at http://djtonyenglish.com/ a real flavour of this man’s music & a worthy addition to any collection. Tony’s hectic 2010 schedule includes a return to “Lovechild”, D.J’ing alongside Mattias at the 1st Birthday in February.
Now, just a quick mention goes to another Swede & one of our favourite D.J.’s, Per Q.X., whose talent has been picked up by worldwide magazine “Time Out” and has produced an exclusive mix which we absolutely love, which has been released under Per’s “Nasty Habits” label. Catch the mix at http://soundcould.com/nastyhabits/per-qx-dj-mix-jan-2010-for-time-out. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for some fresh track remixes as Per is (as always) busy in the studio.
Well that’s about it for this time, but we have a very special Italiano tinted music post due out this weekend, in celebration of Milan club “Pervert” coming to London, showcasing new compilations from Scilly’s finest Gabriele Cutrano & Alessandro Londra, as well as looking at the studio works of another Sicilian, one Francesco Pagano and Milan’s best & the biggest emerging talent we have seen in a long time, Danny Verde.
But if your insatiable appetite for music needs more feeding right now, why not go to http://seenqueen.com/music, which has links to some of the best & latest compilations (great minds think alike) as well as their very own top ten tunes.
So, we hope you enjoy our music choices here and if so, it’s time to turn up the volume, treat the neighbours to some super sounds & let the music play!
