The next SWITCH includes not 1 but 2 headline dj’s between the 2 rooms of the cavernous underground Timbuk2 club… TOMMY FOUR SEVEN (main room) & SLACKSON (room2)

Headlining the main room… In 2007 IDJ picked him as "one to watch". This year DJ mag said "Tommy Four Seven is primed to blow them away in 2008". And all before he turned 21...
First appearing on vinyl as an 18-year-old on oldschool tech label Brique Rouge, Tommy Four Seven has since released on labels from Love Minus Zero to iO Music Catwash, and of course has been a regular on Brique Rouge's nastier sister label Kill Brique. He's remixed Wink, DK7, Mike Monday and Tom Pooks, and been a regular guest at nights from Paris's tres cool ship-borne party Terrassa, London's underground afterhours Redlight, and parties from Tahiti to Lithuania to Ibiza, as well as key local London clubs like Fabric, the End and the Key.

TOMMY FOUR SEVENCont…Now the supporters of his hypnotic deep techno range from Perc to Chloe, Ewan Pearson to Garnier, Len Faki to Joel Mull. "I like dark moods in general," Tommy told DJ magazine. "Deeper sounds are more hypnotic. There's more to connect to than wham-bam-here's-the-riff-now-dance-to-it. You have to get drawn into tracks.”
There's also his use of live instruments, an approach he and label mate James Kronier call '60s techno'. He says, "It's deep techno at the core but much more organic than just using one hit samples like most tracks do, the 60s techno sound is about finding a better balance between human and machine. Digital music doesn't have to sound like a computer has made it."
Hence starting his own label, Shooting Elvis. Gathering artists from Remute to Darko Esser to Mark Broom to Sebastian Roya - as well as the already mentioned second 21-year-old UK wonderkid, James Kronier - it's a European approach to electronic music. Release one, "Strix", was described as "wow" by Chloe, with DJ mag calling the label "edgy ... intoxicating ... seething". Release two, Contact, meanwhile, had Laurent Garnier saying "fucking brilliant", and Mixmag has raved about loving all three of the first releases. The label itself has also picked up raves for Elvis, the alien whose quizzical, distant look stares leads the rave at every Shooting Elvis party....
SLACKSON (ANDY CHILDS)

Headlining room2… We are pleased to announce the SWITCH debut for a multi talented artist and fantastic dj– Andy Childs. We literally don’t have room to list his record releases or for that matter famous artist’s Andy has worked, so here is a brief summary of his current projects. Andy has worked as a DJ in some of the finest venues in Europe including Pacha and London's legendary Wag Club. Well known as one half of Childs and (Dan) Moore the duo are currently redefining and honing their unique soul and funk sound. C&M were recently honoured to have been asked to remix "Get On The Goodfoot" for a forthcoming album by the original JB's (Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins, Clyde Stubblefield etc.). This will be released on May 28th on Columbia Records. Childs & Moore are currently in the studio writing and recording their debut album which is due for release early summer 08'.
Other recent projects include a remix of "What Planet Are You On?" by Bodyrox which is on heavy rotation throughout the world. FORTHCOMING RELEASES!: An exciting collaboration with the Big Welshman Himself, Tom Jones (to be released on Rob Roars Phonetic Recordings).
