54 MUSIC PRODUCERS COMPETITION
WINNERS ANNOUNCED
LABEL LAUNCH PARTY
06.03.09 @ 54 COMMERCIAL STREET

After 6 months of searching the planet, and endlessly scouring through hundreds of demo’s, 54 Music have found the winners of their once in a lifetime competition. With a double-sided brief entailing a Light side (broken beats, nu jazz, deep house and all things eclectic) and a Dark side (tech house, minimal and techno), 54 opened the gates wide for new, exciting and unique productions. They had one aim, to sign the producers of tomorrow…? ?

The winning track on the Dark side of label, and to be remixed by one of the most exciting new acts on the scene, Audiojack, came all the way from Siberia. Oleg Izergin aka ‘iZerg’ has been organising parties since the age of 14, and via regular slots at club nights in Russia, as well as a 4 year stint in Chicago playing at various clubs, he has honed his sound and ability in the studio.? ?The runner up track on the Dark side, and set to remix one of the minimal scene’s newest and most talented acquisitions, Kanio, is a combined effort by 3 called Sour Grapes, from Sweden. Mr Aleks Patz, Alexander Stefanow and Tom Liljegren. Keep an eye out for this talented trio.?

?The Light side of the label was conquered by David Federman, a producer that’s drafted in some of France’s finest musicians to record a studio project of sheer excellence. With members heading up everything from vocals, to double bass, to the harmonica, this unique musician won over the judges with his truly eclectic sound. Due to be remixed by legendary DJs, producers and promoters, Inland Knights, this is going to be a track to look out for.? ?Runner up and set to remix deep house mastermind, Shur-I-Kan, is Bristol born DJ Owain K. Describing his sound as a mixture of everything from acid house to funk, he has played gigs all over Europe, and with his upcoming release on 54, this looks set to be his year.? ?

To start off proceedings and before they take the Winter Music Conference in Miami by storm, 54 Music have one hell of a launch night planned… With performances on the night from incredible 54 London collaborators Audiojack, Inland Knights, Shur-I-Kan and Kanio, as well as by the winning producers, you can expect a legendary shindig firmly placing 54 London on the map as one of the most unique and exciting new labels around today.

With an unbelievably talented array of DJS/producers and all the competition winners to boot, this is shaping up to be one of the parties of the year. Put 6th March firmly in your diaries NOW!
