Calling all garage heads… Who remembers bugging out to MJ Cole’s ‘Sincere’, Wookie’s ‘Battle’ or Dem 2’s ‘Destiny’? Who remembers DJ EZ’s first Pure Garage CD, tuning into Upfront FM or the days when Locked On Records were runnin’ tings?
Who remembers
This
One?
Just 12 months after we brought the classic two-step and UKG sound back to East London with a fresh 2010 twist, Days Like That returns to our intimate Dalston home with our biggest line-up yet – bringing together both first generation two-step innovators and today’s underground heroes looking back at the sounds that defined their musical youth.
T Williams
Championed by everyone from Martyn and Kode 9 to Four Tet and Mary Anne Hobbs, Deep Teknologi’s T Williams has proved himself one of the most innovative artists in the UK house scene. Tonight he’ll be delving back into his crates for a set of vintage garage influences that shaped his futuristic sound.
Horsepower Productions
Responsible for definitive albums like ‘In Fine Style’, ‘To The Album’ and the recent ‘Quest For Sonic Bounty’, the Horsepower Productions team were more arguably more responsible for the modern dubstep/two-step template than any other artist. Repping for them will be Lev Jnr aka Matt Horsepower with some serious crate-digging UK garage action.
Scott Garcia
The man behind archetypal speed garage anthem ‘It’s A London Thing’ and Kronik Records boss, our long-time friend and resident Scott Garcia returns.
DJ Para
Driving production force behind South London’s legendary underground outfit DEA Project, Para has been part of the DLT family since day dot and has been in resurgent form thanks with killer productions on his Yosh! Records.
DJ Haus & Mackavli
One half of Moshi Moshi-signed mutant techno/rave/garage duo Hot City, DJ Haus will be teaming up with UKG obsessive Mackaveli for some two-step trainspotting party carnage.
Scratcha
Rinse FM’s breakfast show joker and Hyperdub artist, Scratcha will be touching down with a rare nostalgia-flooded set of jungle riddims.
Damu
Prodigious production talent with forthcoming tracks on Keysound and Local Action, Damu is one to watch in 2011. He’ll be showing East London why with an eclectic neon-tinted set of future bleep badness and synth mutations.
Tom Lea b2b Shandy
Music editor at taste-making online music portal Fact Magazine and boss of the innovative Local Action Records, Tom Lea will be teaming up with DJ Shandy - the brains behind Bristol’s finest two-step/funky/house smash-up Crazy Legs. Expect them to smash up the basement with some proper party riddims.
