Secretsundaze with Lawrence, Marcellus Pittman, James Priestley & Giles Smith

  • Due to circumstances beyond our control we have decided to move the party very close just down the road to Westbourne Studios in Portobello from the original setting of Loft Studios. The venue itself has previously been on our radar as it has many elements that suit the secretsundaze vibe with huge windows and plenty of natural daylight, white washed walls and palm trees. Of course we have two outstanding talents joining Giles and James in the shape of Dial's head figure Lawrence who has just announced his forthcoming LP 'Films and Windows' for late summer and of course Detroit cult DJ and producer Marcelus Pittman who is part of Moodymann's famed 3 Chairs Project. ===================================================================================== Having broken our west London cherry last year we decided to go back westside to Loft Studios to take over the courtyard and ground floor building adjoining it. Due to unforeseen circumstances Wbeeza will not be playing at this event but we have a more than suitable and heavyweight replacement in the shape of one of our favourite DJs Lawrence (Dial). Lawrence is definitely one of the most consistent DJs we have witnessed with his unique approach to house and techno. His choice as mixer and compiler for Cocoon's one off 'Timeless' compilation speaks volumes. His appeal as an artist and DJ is indeed evergreen. His label Dial and also affiliated Smallville and Dial imprints with their outstanding vision of music and unique artwork have marked him out as a hugely respected DJ and producer and we are very much excited to have him back at secretsundaze. Also guesting on this date will be one of the most uncompromising talents from Detroit, Marcellus Pittman. Marcellus or 'Malik' as he is also known is one of those very special artists alongside the likes of Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Rick Wilhite whose productions veer from techno to house to disco and always have that raw, dusty vibe. His solo productions are quite outstanding and you can hear the influence of jazz and funk as much as house and techno. Of course alongside Moodymann, Parrish and Wilhite he forms the great 3 Chairs who are headlining Dimensions Festival this year.
