DESCRIPTION
DANCE DANCE DANCE EASTER RAVE UP!
HOUSE | TECHNO | BASS | HOUSE | TECHNO | BASS | HOUSE | TECHNO | BASS | HOUSE | TECHNO | BASS
Celebrate the end of term, have an early Easter rave-up or simply go mental on a Friday night with Dance Dance Dance's 2nd event of 2010.
Our 1st Birthday was a massive success, the collaboration with the mighty Subheavy soundsystem worked perfectly and a good night was had by all. It was nice to see some new faces out and really getting in to
4/4 house and techno orientated music. That Subheavy sound certainly helps!
Quote of the night "I came tonight to see if I actually liked house music, I can say now that I know I do!" (Thanks Miles).
Big up to Andromeda, Necta, Chex and Damo as well as the DDD lads for providing such excellence behind the decks. Sets from the night were recorded and will be posted up soon - eagerly awaited!
So, continuing with quality in to 2010...
Friday 26th March - Dance Dance Dance Present DJ's:
:MAGNET: (JAMTHECHANNEL/AEON FESTIVAL)
The Magnet aka Exeter DJ & promoter James Gill, l has been lurking around and behind the decks for about 14 years, playing House, Techno, Breakbeat, Big Beat, Drum & Bass, Funk, Hip Hop, Motown and every crazy sub genre that came out of the original elements.
James has played all over the South West, starting off at house & free parties before starting Exeter house night - Soundcheck. Soundcheck ran for 5 years at various venues across the city with guest's such as
Switch, Inland Knights, James Holroyd, Bionic Bump Band, Sonny Wharton + More. He was also a resident for the longest running breakbeat night in the UK â?? Beatz & Bobz where he played alongside James Lavelle, Plump DJ's, Aquasky, Soul Of Man, Cut La Roc, Rogue Element, Dreadzone, Atomic Hooligan, Krafty Kuts, A-Skills, Slyde, Alex Patterson, Hybrid & many many more. Also a regular guest at many a South West night for Squeeze - Exeter, Magik Bullet - Plymouth, Gobstopper â?? Taunton & Butt Wild Cornwall's first ever Breaks night run by his long time best friend, dj partner & co promoter James Hewson, aka Bump.
He is no stranger at festivals either with performances in the Dance Village at Glastonbury for the last 3 years and slots at Glade Festival, Beautiful Days & Aeon Festival where JamTheChannel have hosted the dance tent for the last 4 years.
Over the past 4 years James has been promoting Exeter's JamTheChannel, A collective of rave generators, party boys and girls, DJs, producers, radio presenters, mookers, boat bumpers and field funkers. Over the last 4 years they have been responsible for many a party bringing the likes of Trevor Loveys, Elite Force, Lee Mortimer, Calvertron, HeavyFeet. Hijack, Inland Knights.

:MARKUTZ: (NONOM/Z-BOP/GET ON IT!)
I was first known as DJ Bailz 'back in ye old days' but am now known as Markutz - This name was thought up randomly before a gig one evening by a friend in Gloucester - (Crystal Clear).
I first went on the turntables in about 1999 when I mixed House and Old Skool Hardcore. My cousin used to play tapes to me and I built up a collection of lots of old rave tapes - I was instantly hooked. After really getting into these tape packs I wanted to be able to scratch like the hardcore DJ's. I bought a scratch mixer, some DMC championships VCR's and the rest is history. I have been practicing (attempting!!!) Turntablism from about late 2001 and am fascinated by it, although still cant stop doing the same scratches!
The style that i play now, and have been for quite a few years is Techno. I have always liked it and I used to listen to the likes of Carl Cox fact / fact 2 on cassette, my dads old Acid House and Inner City tapes, deep heat tapes, kaos theory and many more. From this I have built up my own original style where I drop techno, house, electro, disco, and related sounds. I enjoy the more obscure side of the genre, and the Detroit sound. I really appreciate the soul and the realness that goes into this style of electronic music.
I try to incorporate the turntablism element into my techno mixing and I'm fully utilising new technology. My current set up consists of: Serato Scratch Live, 2 x 1210's, DJM 800, CDJ 400's, Acer Laptop, Midi keyboard, FL Studio 8 (making tracks and my own intros / fx)
I am part of the NONOM crew (www.nonom.co.uk) and we are a crew of DJ's and producers linked with the sister label Z-Bop (www.z-bop.co.uk). We have links to like minded artists worldwide, and the group has a good history behind it. We hold a weekly radio show on Tuesdays 6-8pm GMT on SWU (www.southwestunderground.net) and a twice monthly show on PHONIC FM (106.8) EXETER (www.phonic.fm). Check out the site!
Previous gigs / residencies - Get On It (Exeter), Brock Out (Exeter & Bristol), NONOM - (Exeter, Cornwall), The Deep End / Breaksphere (Exeter), Jam the Channel (Exeter), Breakdown and The Mixtape Sessions (Cheltenham). Tekno Notice - (Cheltenham), Screechin Breaks (Cheltenham), Custard Factory Birmingham, Where have all the good Girls Gone (former weekly Friday Residency - Cheltenham), or in a field/forest/quarry/warehouse somewhere around the country!
Supported - Jerome Hill, Clatterbox, Lukes Anger, Mustard Gunn, LA Synthesis, Baobinga, Kanji Kinetic, A-Skills, 30Hz, The Disablists, Far Too Loud....
We've been eagerly awaiting the chance to have him come and play for us, without doubt one of the Westcountries finest DJ talents.

:EDGY & HASSLEHOFF: (BITSTREAM/KITCHEN SINK)
Both Hasselhof and Edgy started mixing at the beginning of the millenium, at the time playing trance and hardhouse but they soon began exploring other avenues. Hasselhof joined Claires nightclub in Torquay around 2006, warming up with tough electro and tech house for around a year and a half, leaving to pursue his own locally based night Spank. Meanwhile Edgy was pursuing his own path musically, moving on to harder techno styles and breakbeat, playing at beach parties and house parties with regular slots at the Town House and Koko Lounge. Edgy then hooked up with a residency at "The Lost Weekend" with old school experts Gavin Titley and Mr Laureston - Torquays original breaks pioneer. From this meeting the TBF (Torquay Breaks Foundation) was formed and went on to put on some properly awesome summer boat parties. Mr Laureston left the lost weekend leaving a hole at the venue Plan B to fill - and so BITSTREAM was born.
Having both always loved techno but having nowhere to play it, Edgy and Hasselhof have been striving to bring new sounds and fresh local talent to Torquay and their style has been described simply as deep,
funky, minimal house and techno. They also co-run a new night called the Kitchen Sink catering for dirtier music such as fidget and breaks.

:AUDIOSLUT: (DDD/WONKEYLEGS)
Another co-founder of DDD, Audioslut has been playing in and around the South West for the past 5 years - primarily setting out as a drum n bass / jungle DJ in 2002 playing a number of bars and clubs, supporting the likes of EZ rollers, Goldie, The Jungle Drummer and DJ Fu. This grounding set him in good stead to become the promoter of a long running weekly club night in Plymouth, Wonkeylegs, where he held a weekly residency, playing themed parties and supporting acts such as the Freestyler's Matt Cantor.
University life gave Audioslut the chance to really experiment with different genres and also the opportunities to play at many different venues to diverse crowds, from student union club nights to all night
house parties.
Last year saw Audioslut deliver the goods on a much larger scale, from playing boat parties and club nights with the DDD Collective to playing 10,000 capacity Sellout festivals such as the UK's Student Festival Beach Break Live and premier UK club night MICRON in London's infamous Shoreditch.
This year promises to be another big one, after taking six months out to travel and snowboard in Canada, his tastes in music have been further refined!
Expect to hear house music from right across the board, anything from jackin and rolling tech-house, to dubbed out and driving techno.

:KRAFTY SOUNDS: (DDD/JAMTHECHANNEL)
The Dance Dance Dance resident and part founder had a busy 2009, playing gigs alongside the likes of Darren Emerson, Trevor Rockliffe and James Talk with JamtheChannel and Flawless, a set at The Den (formerly the End) in London and plays at Beach Break Live, Spring Dance and Aeon Festivals. Having paired up with Fynndalux to form FYNNK, and with a few big gigs in the pipeline - 2010 looks to be an
exciting one for Krafty.
"Tech House â?? I play Techno, I play House, and I mix them together a lot. Sometimes deep and minimal, sometimes jacking and funky. Always Kraftyâ?¦"
