OOFT
THE DEEP END FEAT. CHRIS DUCKENFIELD
SAT 26 JULY
CHRIS DUCKENFIELD (SWAG)
FUNKY TRANSPORT (CLASSIC / PLAYHOUSE / CHEZ)

Yes, I know I told you about this last time, but here's a wee reminder just incase...
As one part of SWAG, Duckenfield has earned quite the reputation as being one of the UK’s (if not the world’s) most versatile and interesting DJ’s. Equally at home playing House as he is Downtempo, Disco and classics, his career behind the turntables has consistently inspired him to keep digging deeper for those special tracks, and to make one-off edits and mixes for individual gigs all over the world, returning to the roots of Djing. With Richard Benson by his side, SWAG was developed, through which they recorded and released a number of records for WARP. On the solo train Chris runs labels Odori and previously Primitive, as well as setting up his own second hand record store - Duckbeats Records. After 15 years of djing, he's still up there as one of the UKs top exports, regularly playing at Fabric, Sub Club, Electric Chair and Jigsaw Music.

DOORS 10PM :: 3AM £6 ADVANCE

Regarded as one of house music’s most forward thinking producers of recent years, alongside the likes of Switch & Claude Von Stroke, Jesse Rose twists up the template of house music as we know it today.

Jesse holds residency at his monthly Made to Play night at the Panorama Bar in Berlin, while recording for the likes of Classic, Get Physical, JBO, Simple, his own Made to Play and Front Room imprints and is currently signed to Dave Taylor’s Dubsided label. If you need a dance-floor remix Jesse is the guy you turn to, lending his skills to artists such as Hotchip, Underworld, Simian Mobile Disco, Layo & Bushwacka!, Claude Von Stroke and literally tons more. While all of this has been going on Jesse still managed to put away a collaborations album ‘More Than One’ and the highly respected ‘Body Language 3’ compilation on Get Physical.


DOORS :: 10PM - 3AM £7 ADVANCE

SLAM

GET SOME TWISTED DIRTY ELECTRONICA AT MIXTAPE

FRIDAY 15 JULY 
SLAM (SOMA)
DECIMAL (SOMA/ICHICAGO)
Mixtape plays host to the latest SCI-FI-HI-FI party with Soma legends SLAM, who lets face it needs little introduction. Joining SLAM is Soma’s latest recruit DECIMAL, who’s been kicking up a techno sandstorm with his relentless live sets.
Decimal’s performance is driving, hypnotic, and improvisational; he completely restructures and re-loops his productions on the fly, creating a unique dance floor experience each time he rattles the bass bins. His tracks have been burning up dance floors at the hands of some of the world’s most respected figures in techno, with his hypnotic jam, "Idiosynkratik,” recently being licensed for M.A.N.D.Y.’s Fabric 38 mix.

DOORS 10PM :: 3AM £8 ADVANCE
