Respect to Stuart for making the first of our parties at East Village a massive success. Derrick played an extended 4 hour set to a packed basement.
Next up in London will be Luke Solomon and Doc Martin on 20 November – the night after Luke and Derrick take on Week-End in Berlin.
Viva house music!
Everyone loves a ‘feature’ these days… last minute additions on festivals that aren’t selling enough tickets, the classic Ibiza myth that DJs turn up unannounced, or the latest craze in stuffed deers heads above the wood burning stove in our local alehouse.
The heads at Mixcloud.com know their stuff – check Luke Solomon’s latest mix, featured in the ‘Some Songs Have Words’ series, # 3 here:
On Saturday 1st May Doc Martin was asked to launch a new night in the industrial and innovative city of Manchester: ‘I AM’ has the interesting concept of allowing DJs to play all night long, start to finish, without musical boundaries.
For a fascinating insight into Doc and his ways, values and contributions to the underground house music scene, check the interview with the I AM promoter, Andy Proctor here
Here’s the full set from 1st May – enjoy…
In a world of laptop trickery and studio pre-production, not a lot of people can do this kind of thing…

Brett Johnson’s new EP, ‘Things That Go Bump In The Night [Part 1]‘ is out now on Cynosure Recordings – listen on SoundCloud here:
There’s been lots os positive feedback on Brett’s recent music and rightly so – check below for the review by XLR8R:
“Brett Johnson might be from Dallas, Texas, but his latest EP, Things That Go Bump In the Night (Part 1) shows that he isn’t your typical southern gentleman. Nimble beats, wonky bass, and a lot of attitude are evident on the record’s four tracks, and with endorsements from Mark Henning, Ernesto Ferreyra, and Lauhaus rolling in, Johnson’s sounds will be brought to many more ears in the coming months.”
He just keeps them coming… another excellent mix of music from Luke Solomon
Tracklist
1.Ciao Bella (Neider Weidermeir mix) – James Blonde
2.La Boca Loca – Daniel steinberg
Apologies for not posting this earlier, it’s probably on all the forums already
But hey, great music doesn’t fade, so enjoy the first hour of Derrick’s mix from the first Classic residency at his home-from-home back in April, Chicago’s Smart Bar
It’s the warm up set so a more mellow side of D than people usually get to hear…
Luke Solomon was stricken with a nasty illness so Chez Damier stepped in to man the deck after Derrick
