Excuse The Mess

Posted in Club Night with tags , , , , , , , , , , on May 24, 2012 by rachaelwilliams

Excuse The Mess at Basing House

London clubnight Excuse The Mess is kicking off June with a bang, bringing Parisian Terence :Terry: to respected Shoreditch club Basing House on the 1st. Completing that line-up will be Lo*kee’s Louis Guilhem, Leftroom’s Robin Ordell and Excuse The Mess resident Nick Maleedy. They say:

“Many will remember Terence:Terry: (or one of his many monikers) from his fledgling releases on the ubercool Parisian label Freak n Chic, since then his sound has developed into a sinister but groovy blend of deep trippy tech house, releasing on the likes of 2020, Highgrade, Lowpitch, Real Tone, Robsoul and his new label La Vie En Rose which is already on its fourth release. The formation of this new label and his new band Woman (who he formed with old friend USH) has further developed his fresh and futuristic style…we can’t wait to hear it on 1st June.

After impressing us so much at our February event with Ittetsu, we decided to invite lo*kee resident Louis Guilhem back again to show us what he can do on the decks. Always unpredictable, Louis plays with a freedom and originality which is as rare and refreshing as it is entertaining. He plays under the house and techno bracket although his sound sees him take many influences often weaving between funk, cosmic disco and minimal techno. 

Completing our lineup of guests, and giving the night a real French feel, we welcome Robin Ordell down to play for the first time. As resident for the hugely successful Half Baked, Robin has played alongside many of the best DJ’s and producers in Europe learning what makes dancefloors tick along the way. Already releasing on the likes of Leftroom, Safari Numerique, Remake Musique and Serialism Records, Robin is rapidly establishing himself as a household name within the scene.

Resident Nick Maleedy will be on hand to warm up the proceedings, fueling the night with his experimental blend of deep and tech house.“

We say: check out Terence :Terry:’s Jaunt podcast…

Posted in anthem, Deep House, House, Playlist, Top Ten, We are not a rock band with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2012 by Montagano

So I’m currently taking a well deserved break in America right now (Denver to be precise), and I thought I’d knock up a cheeky top 10 of some of the house / deep house tracks I’m digging at the moment. These are in no particular order:

INTRODUCING: DEBUKAS

Posted in After-party, Deep House, Gigs, We are not a rock band with tags , , , , , on March 14, 2012 by Red Ben

We’re hoping to see a lot more of the name Debukas this year. This young Glasweigan first stood out as a talented, interesting producer with his self-titled debut release on 2020 Vision last summer. The track ‘Pointers’ is an immediate attention-grabber that manages to combine hard and soft elements really well. It starts with quite a warm, fuzzy disco-house feel and gradually evolves a sharper, peak time feel before sliding back into a melody-driven groove.

Debukas – Pointers

The 3rd track on the EP, ‘Some Days’, is a darker, slower number, but still definitely tickles your stomp gland. The underlying synth line sounds kinda like Daft Punk’s ‘Da Funk’ meets Detroit techno.

Debukas – Some Days

But proving exactly why this guy could and should be big, his recent remix of on Crazy P’s last EP, ‘Beatbox’, does exactly what a great remix should – outshines the original. A down tempo groove underpins a thoughtful and well-crafted disco soundscape, with some creative re-working of the original vocals. Definitely a nice after party tune to drop. Check it out HERE. And his latest collaboration with another 2020 artist, Simon Baker (following their last collaboration last summer, NO PRESSURE), is another step  towards him being a big name on the deep house scene.

Simon Baker ft Debukas – Let Me In

His live sets are supposed to be pretty amazing as well, taking in heavy synth action, late night slo-mo discoid chuggers and the ghosts of techno past. Go check him out supporting Crazy P alongside Horse Meat Disco, it’ll be a belter.

When WANARB Met: Subb-an

Subb-an interview on We Are Not A Rockband

This weekend sees Subb-an playing at the launch of Gist, a brand new deep house and techno night in Chelmsford, Essex. It’s not often We Are Not A Rockband ventures outside London town but with one of the masterminds behind Gist being DJ Mag’s Adam Saville, we thought it worth investigating.

With Birmingham’s Subb-an being one of the residents for groundbreaking night Below in his hometown and one half of label One Records with Adam Shelton, we caught up with him to quiz him on playing Essex, what’s new on his label and what one record he just can’t stop playing…

Light Year – Moderation

Posted in New Music, Video with tags , , , , , , on February 9, 2012 by rachaelwilliams

Light Year - Moderation

Check out the amazing new video from Sydney’s Light Year. Not only is it a great video but it’s a great track as well, and after receiving high-profile online support from Tensnake, it’s sure to your most shared video this month.

Light Year (aka the mononymously named Jordan) have already released 2 EP’s and toured both America and Europe but with a Australian-style take on the Hot Creations brand of deep house groove combined with an acid-house rave video, he’s sure to have a big year.

Introducing: Toky

Posted in Deep House with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 23, 2012 by rachaelwilliams

Toky

Chances are, if you download a lot of deep house podcasts, you’ve already heard Toky. The Hot Since ’82 remix of his track About You is currently making itself known to all and sundry after appearing on Noir’s latest ‘Recommends’ podcast. No surprise there really as it’s due for release on Noir’s label on 30th January. There is another remix by hot tip Fur Coat but it’s the Hot Since ’82 version that’s the big draw here. Pushing what seems to be January’s sound, of deep, down-tempo melancholic house; the remix is the type of track you might miss first time round but then you hear it again and say oh hey what’s that? Then maybe you’ll hear it another time and this time it sticks in your mind. With haunting androgynous vocals coupled with a dirty and deep bassline; it’ll be a 4am killer on the dancefloor for when everyone’s ultra-smashed.

Toky – About You (Hot Since ’82 remix)

Toky’s certainly set for big things this year despite only getting into dance music production last January after a live session with fellow Italian Karm from Tale Of Us. To be on Noir’s label, remixed by two very upcoming acts *and* gained such attention in a year is staggering. And if that weren’t enough, he’s already formed an ace side-project called Superhero with Italian DJ and producer Leon. There’s only a preview available of their new track Drugs And Choices but it’s fucking ace so do check it out. Dry humour laces spoken word lyrics over a sparse beat creating a surprisingly addictive little number.

Superhero – Drugs And Choices (preview)

It’s actually the first track on Toky’s recent Purp & Soul podcast which is well worth a listen and a download. Definitely keep your ears out for more from this man.

Potty Mouth Pulls It Out The Bag With February Line-Up

Posted in Club Night, Deep House, House, Parties, Tech, Warehouse Party with tags , , , , , , , , , , on January 12, 2012 by rachaelwilliams

Potty Mouth February Droog Vs Inxec

O hai epic Potty Mouth line-up. What’s that you say? Inxec has coaxed his LA cohorts Droog over to London town to play with him? And Polish duo Catz N Dogz are in town playing a rare live set? And somehow Danish DJ and producer Noir has been thrown into the mix too??

It’s no surprise that clubbers have been going mental for Droog Vs Inxec‘s tech-house track Westbound. It’s got a dark tone to it with a wonderful build-up that will excite both experienced ravers and those new to the scene. But it’s one of the more deliciously darker track from the Westbound EP, Unhinged, with its melancholic female vocals that’s really what 2012 is going to be about.

Inxec Vs Droog – Unhinged

Catz N Dogz are amazing DJs and with a whole box of tricks from their own record label, Pets Recordings, to delight crowds with, seeing them play out is a treat that London get’s its fair share of (luckily). But how often do we get to hear them play their own stuff? This is no doubt a problem that has been eating away at you for some time and thank god for Potty Mouth to the rescue. Expect choice picks from their latest album Escape From Zoo, maybe even a bit of their recent side project with Soul Clap on Hypercolour’s off-shoot label Glass Table, the wonderfully named Clapz II Dogz (if we’re really lucky), and most certainly recent tracks like Jon Bovi.

Catz N Dogz – Jon Bovi (snippet)

Aside from being one half (the music half) of one of the biiiiigest hits from last year, Noir & Haze – Around, Noir also has one of the most downloaded deep house podcasts going. And when you consider how many DJs and producers are constantly churning out podcasts for our ears, this really is no mean feat. Couple that with the fact that HIS tracks regularly pop up on all those other podcasts and you know you’re in for something a bit special.

Noir – We 2 / Are 1 (snippets)

Get your tickets NOW for the very next Potty Mouth before they all sell out.

Potty Mouth
Sat 4th Feb
Secret warehouse, e. London
9am – 6am
£8 – £15

M.A.N.D.Y vs Bookashade – Home (Tim Green Remix)

Posted in anthem, Deep House, Tech, We are not a rock band with tags , , , , , on December 13, 2011 by Montagano

‘Home’ by M.A.N.D.Y vs. Bookashade has been put through the remix mill and the results are explosive. Tim Green, Jona and Monaque have all added superb interpretations to it – but  my personal fave is the Tim Green mix.

London-based Tim Green has been an ever-present name in Tech / Deep House in recent years, but a string of impressive releases in 2011 has catapulted him to the upper echelons of the scene. Looking forward to what 2012 has in store…

Home Remixes Part 1. is out now. You can buy it here, or you can download his remix (192Kbps) from the SoundCloud player below.

Till Von Sein – Non Existent Love

Posted in Deep House, Tech, Video with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 29, 2011 by rachaelwilliams

Till Von Seine LTDI’m a bit late to the party with this Till Von Sein track, as the video has been floating about since the beginning of the month. But hey, I just saw it this morning so there’s a chance you maybe missed it too. Non Existent Love is the first single from debut album LTD (Living The Dream apparently) and features Tiger Skin, Lazarus and Meggy…… and a topless chick in a Venetian mask. Oh yes, I know how to spoil you on a Tuesday afternoon.

Have a listen to the rest of the album (the track with Catz N Dogz is really quite something) as he’s been kind enough to post all the tracks on his YouTube channel, or if your place of work is one of those pesky types to block distracting sites like that, try listening to a little mix he made of all the tracks for his Soundcloud.
