Calling all producers & remixers! Shine on Remix Competition!

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Calling all producers & remixers!

Degrees Of Motion – Shine On
Remix Competition!

Cayenne Recordings has teamed up with leading MP3 download store Trackitdown.net to offer all budding producers, beat makers and music creators the opportunity of remixing the legendary house classic Shine On by Degrees Of Motion.

Perhaps one of the greatest uplifting moments in dance music history Shine On features the outstanding vocals of Biti, coupled with ‘that’ piano riff making this one of the biggest house records of all time.

So this is a call out to all producers and remixers, no matter what level you’re at, fancy chopping the vocal and riff about, injecting a bit more bosh or stripping it right back to the percussion? Do what you like, the more creative the better, but keep it house!

The winning entry will be part of the final Cayenne release in March 2008, which will be launched at the world famous Miami Winter Music Conference, plus the successful winner will also walk away with sample packs from the Trackitdown site worth £100!

To enter go to:

All entries must be received by the 31st December when the competition closes… Good Luck!!

Pacha NYC presents X-PRESS 2 : ‘Makeshift Feelgood’ CD Release Party – December 7th

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Pacha NYC presents X-PRESS 2 Live on Saturday, December 7th. The three DJs are back in the US to celebrate the release of their new album MAKESHIFT FEELGOOD out now on Tommy Boy Records.

For your foot-tapping pleasure and mind-expanding enjoyment, we present the men of X-Press 2: Rocky, Diesel and Ashley Beedle. The UK club-rockers are back with Makeshift Feelgood, the follow-up to the 100,000 selling Muzikizum. Their latest album features lead vocals by Tim DeLaughter (The Polyphonic Spree), Kurt Wagner (Lambchop), Anthony Roman (Radio 4), Rob Harvey (The Music), Kissing The Pink and Bernard Fowler (NYC Peech Boys / Rolling Stones).

The last time they were stateside, their humongous fanbase propelled their vinyl-only 12-inches (i.e.: “London X-Press,” “Muzik X-Press,” “The Sound”) — sold sans barcodes— thumping up the charts. But they’ve been away for a while, sweating in the DJ trenches, frequenting international clubs aplenty, trapped in the studio with Sixties sunshine-pop LPs, wrangling vocal stars from far and wide. But four years after they—and The Talking Heads’ David Byrne—swaggered to #2 on the UK pop charts) in the charts with “Lazy,” then waltzed home with an Ivor Novello Award, the X-Press 2 triumvirate is back!

X-PRESS 2 — MAKESHIFT FEELGOOD is out now on Tommy Boy Records.

Inigo Bar 4am License launch party with Mike Monday & The Loose Cannons

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

**Clapham’s Legendary DJ Bar Announces 4am License**
Inigo Bar
4am launch – Fri 7th & Sat 8th December 2007!
Featuring special guests: Mike Monday (Fri) & The Loose Cannons (Sat)

Since it’s launch in 2001, South London’s original DJ bar has always been a firm favourite on the London bar and club scene. With a reputation as a guaranteed top night out for those in search of great tunes, amazing DJs and a house party vibe in comfortable, intimate surroundings. Inigo remains an oasis in the lack of quality nightlife desert that is Clapham.

Over the years its reputation has been sealed through bringing some of the biggest DJs on the planet down to this intimate 150 capacity venue to give attendees the experience akin to having major DJs playing in your mates house party, over the years world class DJs such as Nic Fanciulli, Yousef, Fergie, James Zabiella, X-Press2, Jon Carter, Eric Prydz, Freestylers, Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs have passed through the venues doors and they keep asking to come back for more.

But it’s not just about the big names, Inigo has always been a firm supporter of new and local talent, featuring events seven nights a week and playing host to events such as Electric Sex, Dirty Groove, Break Free, Blow, Stereo Zoo, Elektronik as well as the legendary Ignition parties which was where the then-aspiring DJ and producers Tom Neville and King Roc cut their DJ teeth and honed their skills and sound.

When it launched the bar was something of a one off, the term ‘DJ Bar’ hadn’t even been coined, DJs played records in pubs but it was normally through a tiny crackly sound system. The bar’s owner Will Campbell-Jones saw a gap in the market for combining his love of clubbing with his love of errrr, drinking and Inigo was born and became an instant hit on the South London nightlife scene as well as drawing clubbers from all over London as word of mouth news spread of this rocking party featuring great DJs where you were actually allowed to dance on the tables and bar!

Since then every bar and his dog now features DJ nights and the Clapham scene has become somewhat diluted which is where Inigo’s latest announcement – it’s 4am license for Friday and Saturday nights – will see the bar once again shine as Clapham’s leading DJ bar.

To kick things off, Inigo has drafted in two amazing DJs and Inigo favourites for it’s first weekend – kicking off on Friday 7th with South London’s finest purveyor of wonky disco Mike Monday (OM Records / Playtime / Worldwide) who heads up the charge for resident event Dirty Groove, whilst Kiss100’s The Loose Cannons joins Inigo’s resident Saturday nighter which has seen long standing residents Dugal and James C rocking each and every weekend since Inigo launched!

Made Event presents MAURO PICOTTO + SANDER VAN DOORN @ Webster Hall – December 7

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Made Event presents Italian techno titan MAURO PICOTTO and Dutch phenom SANDER VAN DOORN at Webster HallFriday, December 7th, 2007 – sign up here for a special $25 guestlist before midnight.

After many years spending half his life producing and doing A&R for BXR Records at the Media Records studio complex in Brescia, Italy, and half DJing every weekend, Mauro Picotto decided in 2003 to dedicate his energy towards to his DJ career and his own Meganite branded events and parties. Now with Meganites in London, Miami, Turin, Glasgow, Montreal, and at Priviledge in Ibiza, Mauro frequently plays much of his own music designed specifically for the mood & energy of these nights. His sound now is a fusion of funky minimal house, with the techy edge and melodic elements that were always involved with his trademark sound. With renewed energy in 2007, Mauro sees the release of his new artist album ‘Now & Then’, on the brand new imprint SW Records and the Meganite Ibiza 2007 CD and DVD, following another successful season of the Meganite residency in Ibiza, now in its 4th year. This is a fresh and exciting new chapter in Mauro’s incredible career, and Now & Then is an excellent album marking a brilliant shift in musical direction.

In just four years, and coming out of nowhere Sander van Doorn’s rapid ascent continues with his latest #15 ranking in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll and the launch of his own label Doorn Records. With Sander on A&R duties, the ethos behind Doorn Records is simple – to discover new, unsigned talent and expose it to the world. To date the response has been tremendous with heaps of new tracks being submitted, be it via Myspace or the website. The first release on Doorn Records will be Sander’s own massive “Riff” with a killer remix by none other than techno giant, mister CARL COX! On the horizon for 2008, Sander readies his long-awaited debut long player and a global album tour.

Mauro Picotto ‘Now & Then’ is out now on SW Records.
Sander van Doorn single “Riff” is out now on Doorn Records.
