Uber: The Return of The DJ Competition


Uber kick-start 2012 with a rip roaring showcase that doffs a cap to the past as well as the future; with two of the clubs most celebrated former guests headlining alongside the return of the annual and highly feted DJ competition. The prize involves a set alongside Uber’s next headliner (James Zabielia, more about him next time) and the chance to be established as one of the called upon DJs for Carlisle’s longest running House music soiree. Entries have already been flooding in for what looks set to be another stunning smorgasbord of fresh djing talent.

Returning to headline this showcase are London House music heroes X-Press 2. Rocky and Diesel (and the now departed Ashley Beedle) have been responsible for some seismic impacts upon House music. Fully part of the warehouse scene of the late eighties, they exploded into the production world with the beyond seminal ‘Music X-Press’, a track that has been remixed more times than the trademark air-raid siren has sound-tracked a rave, with the original still able to take centre stage in any DJ’s set.

Their huge ‘Lazy’ record took deep house back to the top of the charts, whilst ‘Smoke Machine’ celebrated Amnesia’s dry ice cannon with deft ease. Their latest album ‘The House of X-Press 2’ sees a return to Skint, boasting guest contributions from Roland Clark, James Yuill and Amber Jolene, and is already celebrated as a sterling return from the duo. Their last appearance in Carlisle took the roof off and this is set to be as equally rambunctious.

Support comes from San Fran’s jack master Justin Martin. Justin has flown the flag for Uber in both Carlisle and Liverpool previously, with his fidgeting dj sets gloriously wide-ranging across House music’s finest caveats. He’s still doing the do on Claude von Stroke’s inspired imprint Dirtybird and his signature is something of a mainstay in Uber’s sound. Expect jacking house, visceral techno and body popping grooves to sift through with the funk on constant overload.

Uber’s resident roster back things up, with Ki Creighton heading up the talent that includes one jock well aware of the benefits of DJ competitions; Jordan Grierson was selected by Minus to play for them through a similar contest that saw him lining up alongside Ritchie Hawtin.
