Music : House
Saturday 4th April sees the launch of 54 London’s Light Side parties. After the global search for the producers of tomorrow, which found talent in the shape of Parisian producer, David Federmann and Bristol Born DJ, Owain K, the Light Side is fired up and ready to make waves in the dance scene.
With a host of incredible DJs lined up on the night to provide a musical feast of deep house in East London’s coolest, most cutting edge venue, 54, you can rest assured the Light Side will be launched with the unfaltering style and standard 54 Music is already becoming synonymous with.
Hailed as ‘the most exciting thing to happen to UK house music’ by Jockey Slut, headliner Milton Jackson is well on his way to becoming one of the biggest names in the scene. His productions have already received backing from legendary figures in electronic music such as Carl Cox, and after extensive tours playing out to the biggest dance floors in the world, as well as remixes and collaborations with the likes of Shur-I-Kan, Andy Cato and Mylo, no one can question Jackson’s incredible talent and ability to rock a crowd hard. And with two nominations in the Beatport awards (Best Deep House Artist and Best House Track) ahead of his forthcoming second album, things are set to get even better for him in 2009.
Alongside Milton, and making an exclusive UK appearance on the night is Daniel Kyo. Preceding two upcoming releases on 54 Music, Kyo has been backed by artists such as Laurent Garnier and Johnny Fiasco and is tipped as one of the major players in the Deep House scene. Having already toured all over Europe, sharing the booth with the likes of the seriously cool Italoboyz, he’s now UK bound to work our scene up with some deep European sounds.
Freerange Records’ Matt Masters, and DJ/producer and friend Mr Chenzo, aka MidiDropMusic, have been working together long enough to make serious noise in the deep house world. Having already remixed incredible artists such as Jimpster, they throw out faultless studio gems and receive plaudits left, right and centre from the people that matter. And completing this already stellar line up is the runner up from the light side of the competition, Owain K. The Bristol born DJ impressed the label with his take on eclectic house, and thanks to his years spent working in the studio, and ability to fend off competition from hundreds of worldwide producers, is well on his way to domination in the scene.
With all these amazing artists boxed into the intimate red surroundings of Bar 54, you can only expect that magic will happen…
