a weekend off…

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

hi there. Rob Cain here.

For the first time in nearly 5 years i have a weekend to myself. I have no gigs what-so-ever. Now some of you may see this as a bad thing, i however am exstatic about it.

 Im debating what to do with my evening, obviously my missus is going to be with me, so im at ends where to take her.

currently on the cards in ‘Bandstand’ which is run by ‘DJ Rob Da Bank’, this evening will feature a DJ set by ‘Mark Ronson’ ‘Kissy Sell Out’ & our very own ‘Steve Parry’. Its either this or i drop into liverpool glamourous nightclubs ’Society‘ or ‘Garlands‘…

so much choice.

I’ll probably end up in the ‘Grafton’

Friday, May 9th, 2008

one of the greatest producers of our time, Henrick Schwarz is back with a brand new single - I exist because of you feat Amapondo. A wicked future afro House cut with a groovey techie feel. This has so many levels! also inc a more striped down mix from Dixon. Miss this at your peril!!

Guy Gerber - Disorientation - what a tune…

Friday, May 9th, 2008

the Amazing Guy Gerber returns to his own awesome Suppliment Facts lable, with what we can only desribe as a belter of a track!

Guy seems to take in house, tech house, techno and progressive flavours with his music, and somehow cpture all of those musical genres superbly that they are played by DJ’s accross the board without having to compromise.

Disorientation is a hypnotic undergroung groove with orchestral strings, techie percussion, a housey groove, mad jazzy licks that are effected to the max, an old school house groove and a subtle progressive edged structure.

If thats not enough remix honours go to Johhny D and reboot, and with DJ’s like Garnier, David K, Chaim and Fortier already spinning this gem, we’re sure that the list will grow and grow.

Pezz’s 40th birthday, chats with desa from bassheads,greg wilson on tele and 20:20 vision

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

yes I know thats a heck of a title ‘Pezz’s 40th birthday, chats with desa from bassheads and greg wilson on tele and 20:20 vision‘ for a blog, but it does all make sense.. I’ll explain..

On Saturday we celebrated Pezz from 3 Beat Records 40th birthday (happy birthday baldy if you are reading this), and Greg Wilson the disco legend was DJ-ing, and dropping some damn fine underground disco classics.

I was speaking to Desa from the Bassheads at Pezz’s party, and he was telling me a story that greg Wilson was the first DJ ever to play on Uk television, on the legendary Tube no less!

Anway, Monday morning comes and I’m sent a new promo CD, mixed and compiled by Greg Wilson for 20:20 Vision (the fine label of Ralph Lawson), and part of the press pack was a link to Greg playing on the Tube…

And so, you see, the worlds craziest blog title of ‘ Pezz’s 40th birthday, chats with desa from bassheads,greg wilson on tele and 20:20 vision’ does make sense after all…
