LWE
presents SIDEXSIDE - a three part series of contemporary music events
that create DJ partnerships that will excite, challenge and inspire -
*13 October - Horse Meat Disco SXS Danny Krivit
*19 October - Justin Martin SXS Redlight
*20 October - Nina Kraviz SXS DJ Stingray
SIDEXSIDE
is a celebration of DJs and the power of shared creativity that drives
our scene forward. The concept is very simple: Two artists sharing an
entire night of music, playing together; side by side. With an
eight-hour night as their ‘blank canvas’, the DJs have time to push
boundaries, to dig deeper into their record collections, pulling out
classics, dancefloor destroyers, hidden treasures and even a few guilty
pleasures along the way.
Part 1 - Horse Meat Disco SXS Danny Krivit - 13 Oct, 2012 / venue TBA
Now
into their eighth year, Horse Meat Disco have continued to lead the way
with packed residencies at HQ at The Eagle in London’s Vauxhall, Lux in
Lisbon and with the Tape organisation in Berlin. Inspired by the music
and inclusive ethos of New York’s club scene during the ’70s and ’80s,
Horse Meat Disco have garnered a unique reputation for amazing parties
and unmatchable sets, the quartet of DJs each mixing their own
individual quality blend of disco juice with all manner of dancefloor
fillers: be it punk funk, italo, house, electric bangers or plain old
oddities!
HMD
will perform alongside New York legend Danny Krivit, his list of
residencies and associations demonstrates every ounce of his legendary
status. Danny Krivit is the don behind the immensely popular 718
Sessions and one-third of the Body & Soul collective. He started
DJing at age 14 and learned from all the greats, including James Brown,
David Mancuso and Larry Levan and became famous for his funk, soul, and
disco edits (under the Mr. K name). Expect Danny to dig through his
enormous record collection to deliver an inspirational insight to one of
house music’s living legends.
The
collision and combination of Horse Meat Disco and Danny Krivit sharing
an entire night of music is something that has certainly got us excited.
Now where are my dancing shoes?
Tickets on Sale: On sale now priced from £15 - £20.
Time: 10pm - 6am
Part 2 - Justin Martin SXS Redlight - 19 Oct, 2012 / Crucifix Lane
We
welcome one of the more diverse pairings of the SIDEXSIDE concept to
date and two DJs and producers who come from vastly different
backgrounds, Bristol’s Redlight and San Francisco’s Justin Martin.
Redlight
isn't one to be pigeonholed. Whether it underground bangers or A list
radio playlists its all about doing his thing his way without
compromise. Growing up in the underground scene helped inspire the move
into new musical territories and the need to be challenged and the
desire to create new styles. Recent Top 10 summer anthem “Lost In Your
Love” is a perfect example of that mix, taking inspiration from the
musical backdrop of Redlight’s misspent early teens and the eclectic
sample sources of jungle and the energy from the illegal warehouse raves
he grew up going to in Bristol.
By
contrast Justin Martin was born out of London deep house imprint
Buzzin’ Fly, and went on to establish himself on the label he founded
with Claude Vonstroke, Dirtybird. In demand everywhere from Panorama Bar
(Berlin) to fabric (London) and Space (Ibiza), music
journalists typically describe Justin’s sound as ‘melodic and tough’
with his music encapsulating both melody and emotional depth, but always
with enough undeniable ass shaking properties to translate to the
floor.
Both
artists have enjoyed two very different career trajectories, but their
sounds today have distinct similarities, united by a love of low-end
bass and booty shaking! A match made in dancefloor heaven we think.
Tickets on Sale: On sale now priced from £15 - £20.
Time: 10pm - 6am
Part 3 - Nina Kraviz SXS DJ Stingray - 20 Oct, 2012 / East London Warehouse
The
third announcement in our first run of SIDEXSIDE events is as special
and unique a combination as can be. Nina Kraviz, the name on everyone’s
lips in the world of house and techno goes head to head, shoulder to
shoulder, toe to toe and deck to deck with Detroit legend and Urban
Tribe founder, DJ Stingray (aka Sherard Ingram).
This
partnership is particularly enticing as very rarely does a DJ shoot to
stardom as quickly as the young, and ever so talented Kraviz. Mixing her
raw blend of house, techno, acid and rare groove, she has released cuts
on Jus Ed’s Underground Quality imprint, Bpitch Control, Cocoon and
Rekids, the label which released her self-titled debut LP earlier this
year. By contrast, DJ Stingray has been a legendary presence in the
world of techno for over 20 years. He founded Urban Tribe with DJ
partner Kenny Dixon Jr, this was quickly followed up by a release of his
debut album on Mo Wax Records in London featuring collaborations with
long time friends Carl Craig, KDJ and various others. Ingram’s latest
projects include collaborations with Carl Craig and Planet E and the
launch of his new label Micron Audio Detroit.
