Now the summer is over we turn our attention to bringing some quality labels onto the boat for the remainder of the year, starting with Andy Moor's AVA Recordings label. Andy has hand picked 3 of his labels finest acts and producer/ Djs to showcase the AVA sound to the max.
This is the second AVA Party we have done. Last years with Andy Moor, Orkidea and David West was an amazing success and with the innovative and fresh line up we have in store this time with 2 London debuts it will definitely not be a party to miss!!

Producer, DJ & Label Manager; Mike Shiver has been one of the most talked-about upcoming talents over the last years.
Since breaking onto the scene in 2003 with one of the year's most exciting productions: 'Mike Shiver - Feelings (Lost Language)', Mike has worked with labels like Armada Music, Nebula Records, Euphonic Records, Lost Language and the list just goes on.
December 2003 saw Mike start his own label, Captured Music. The first release on Captured 'Sonicvibe & Mike Shiver - Lunation' received massive support from many of the world top DJ’s.
Since the label launch of 'Captured Music', things have really taken off and Mike is currently DJ'ing throughout Europe & the states as well as spinning on various radio stations. Mike has also broadcast his own radio show entitled 'Captured Radio' on Digitally Imported (Di.Fm).
With excellent remix work from well known acts such as Solarstone, Ronski Speed (Sun Decade), Mike Koglin, Lost Witness, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Markus Schulz, Darude and Benno De Goeij (Rank 1), a long with keeping you constantly updated with fresh material. Mike has reserved himself a spot amongst the most promising of tomorrow's DJs. This will be Mikes first London appearance for over 2 years, so it's one we are very much looking forward too.
MYON AND SHANE 54
Myon & Shane 54 might not have a long history, yet they managed to achieve some notable success in terms of productions and / or remixes, besides weren't short of fully-blown A-list Dj support in the past few months of their existence.
The duo started separately: Shane 54 & Myon were already established artists on their own right when they joined forces. Remixes for Oakenfold, Above & Beyond or Vandit on one side, a triple release as an introduction for Black Hole on the other. All entities were gone, resulting a "real" band, not just two guys who happened to work together for a few moments.
"We have this incredible musical bond" - says Myon, the 24-year old Hungarian from the South of the country, Szeged. - "Either of us starts a musical sentence, the other will finish it like it was meant to be. It's weird, but very useful: we're very effective together."Their music speaks for itself: the guys scored a Beatport Number One remix (Andy Moor & Carrie Skipper - So Much More), and a Number One Single on Audiojelly (Vampire's superb Gareth Emery remix, but their own version was number two as well).
Within a couple of weeks' time three of their remixes were voted "Record Of The Week" on Above & Beyond's "Trance Around The World" radio show, where they been just awarded "Guestmix of the Year" for their 30-minute mini-epic, that has clearly caused quite a stir on the TATW forums.
One of their signature songs, "Not A Lot Left" (with its fairly ironic vocal sample) also was a big record on Anjunabeats: it ended up on Above & Beyond's 2008 compilation, "Anjunabeats Vol. 6." According to the guys themselves the track was one of the highlights of their summer sets. The world's number 4 dj trio seems to be really fond on them, just as most of the other guys in the top 10.
This was only the beginning though: after being featured on Armin Van Buuren's ASOT 2008 compilation (and countless times on his radio show), Myon & Shane 54 has been asked to remix "Never Say Never" for his new artist album "Imagine The Remixes".
"The challenge is tough: your music not only have to meet the standards and expectations of the number one dj of the world, but it actually has to be so good, he could call it his own." - Shane 54 agrees they both had a hard time finishing it. - "We made 4 different versions, just to ditch them all immediately for the 5th. A lot of struggle went into this one."
These days the guys working on something big again: they've been offered to make a mix compilation for Armada, Armin Van Buuren's smashing international dance label. The tracklist is full of exclusive material, mostly their own takes of tracks they like, some of them never heard before or haven't been available anywhere else.
They will be making their ES Debut, London Debut and UK Debut on this party!!
ASHLEY WALLBRIDGE
Ashley Wallbridge started his career very early on as a DJ. Known as a prodigy for winning 18+ dj competitions in the UK with fake ID. Ash has been featured on Radio 1 at the tender age of 16 alongside Fergie and Dave Pierce. During this time he also played at Newcastle superclub IKON to over 2500 people and all over the UK and now Europe. Age has never been a factor for him and 2008 saw him sailing his way into the production world with his first signing to Lyon Echo in NYC followed by the Definitive VOL 1 EP on Auryn Music and CAPTIVE on DBR. Ashley has had the support of most of the biggest names in HOUSE & TRANCE and is equally comfortable producing Prog, Electro, Trance, Vocal and Techno under no separate Alias. All but 2 releases have been in the top 30 in beatport prog and he has charted on too many playlists to mention. Always improving on the last and becoming very unpredictable Ashley is proud to be a son of all EDM music both as a dj and a producer. Look for him to surprise many this year and next and be the UK's next big thing.
Ashley comes to us from sunny Stoke-on-Trent in England like Andy Moor with his own fusion of electro, trance, and progressive. Blasting in with his own EP, we're sure to expect great things in the near future! Again this is another ES and London debut and one we wait for eagerly.
LIZZIE CURIOUS
One of the most popular Djs around and definitely at ES, Lizzie returns to us for her first ES gig since July after her summer in Ibiza where she had the privilege ( pardon the pun ) to be a weekly resident for Robbie Riviera's Juicy night at Privilege. There she has continued to make a name for herself as one of the Uk's top female Djs handing over the headphones to not only Robbie but also Marco V and Stonebridge to name a few. Many of the ES faithful will be eagerly awaiting this set, especially as Lizzie has managed to get her hands on some of the finest upfront tuneage possible over the summer. Don't miss it !!
