INN HAUS
The Den & Centro launch party Saturday 09-05-09 10pm – 7am
Finally! A reason to be cheerful in the recession, the end is re-opened! Its sound- system, contents and even aroma remain un-tampered with. Effectively the only thing that you will notice to be different is its name, now known as the den. Upstairs however the former AKA, now known as Centro Bar has had major design & structural change with a new stage for live performances, and a repositioned DJ booth.
For the launch party on Saturday 9th may INN HAUS brings together three of Ibiza/London’s favourite electronic music promoters. In the main den we welcome FILTHY Gorgeous with special guest Justin Drake. In the Den Lounge Phase records is flying over Jonathan Tena direct from Ibiza and in the Centro Bar we welcome Too Damn Glam.

JUSTIN DRAKE (PEACE DIVISION)
Having dedicated 15 years of life to his passion for underground house music, London born Justin Drake has found huge success as Peace Division alongside Clive Henry whist also pursuing a parallel career as an engineer, producer and DJ in his own right. A taste for warm, heady and hypnotic grooves can be found in both his production and behind the decks, he has played the world over almost every weekend for the past ten years. Preferring to stay out of the limelight and avoid press attention, Justin has managed to maintain a constant focus on underground music without being influenced by trends or fads. This has led to respect from peers, promoters and punters worldwide.
SCOTT MARTIN & JAMIE GITTINS (FILTHY GORGEOUS)
Filthy Gorgeous DJs Jamie Gittins and Scott Martin are renowned for their amazing parties in Ibiza. Demand for their fun loving events and trademark ‘underground deep / tech house & techno’ has also taken them as far afield as Australia, Asia, UAE, Mexico, The Middle East, Europe and everywhere in between. But it’s really Ibiza they call ‘home’. Having hosted parties in various locations including Privilege, Space, Eden, ex-Strip Clubs, an Old Zoo, Private Villa’s and other unusual locations, this is where they have made their reputation as serious party people!!
ROBBIE ROMERO (DEEPFLIGHT RECORDINGS)
Has a kind of progressive Tech-House-Sound in Germany, a respected international DJ being established in two of the headquarters of electronic music, Ibiza and London. Resident for the world´s biggest club “Privilege” from 2001-2005, he gained monumental success in 2003 with worldwide super hit “Paris Latino” on Universal records in Germany.

CHRISSY MARENELLO (WONKY DISCO)
With a residency for Electric Sex at Eden, Sounds Like Us at Boulevard and his own brand Wonky Disko at Eden/ Itaca and around various clubs in London, Chrissy has stamped himself as prominent reputation in London’s underground scene. The focus for 2009 will be on his productions and the promotion of his own events to showcase his individual sound.
DZETA & BASILE LIVE
Italian duo Davide Zeta and Claudio Basile moved to London from Milan in 96’ & 97’ respectively, they quickly achieved themselves their individual niches in London’s spotlight as promoter/DJ duo, moving into production with their first official releases in 2008, Claudio as a solo artist, and Davide as part of ''Slimboystwo''. When they finally joined forces for their first release as ''DZeta N' Basile'' gained lots of attention from different record labels throughout UK and Europe. Claudio's sound comes from a progressive background and Davide's has more of a house feeling. The result is a unique blend of hypnotic grooves, deep vibe and minimal/house beats, which is the trade mark of their style.
JONATHAN TENA (SPACE IBIZA & GLOBAL RADIO)
Born in Barcelona, Jonathan Tena spent his adolescence surrounded by friends who where into music. His first contact with the decks took place by the end of 2000 in some clubs and venues around Barcelona. He managed to get a monthly residency in Manumission Motel (Ibiza), and later on is contracted by the Splash collective to perform in clubs from Barcelona such as Discothèque, Razzmatazz, República and Danzatoria. In 2003 he decided to move to Ibiza, once he got there Jonathan started to play in some small clubs and local radio stations. He started playing at Space at “We love Sundays”, and soon afterwards he gained a residency to play in the RedBox area every Tuesday night at the Carl Cox parties, there has been no stopping this versatile DJ since.
AMELIE (SUPERNATURE)
Amelie is the newly born production outfit Sophie Oliver & Claudia Lovisa, already a highly acclaimed duo on the DJ circuit. Their names have been on everyone’s’ lips this year for the dynamic and stylish way in which they bring a dance floor to its knees. Gaining accolades from some of the industry’s most credible DJ’s and producers they are being watched with interest by their peers. This May saw the girls launching the new “Supernature” Label show which is being aired fortnightly on Proton Radio, wedged between the ‘Soma’ Records show and John Digweed’s ‘Transition’ show on the 2nd Saturday of every month.
CLINT LEE (WILDLIFE)
Clint Lee loves a little disturbing behaviour; with roots in the richly cultured soil of Africa and a penchant for mind-bending minimal and tribal techno beats; he entices clubbers to twist in all sorts of distorted array, and has firmly embedded his name in London’s electronic jungle. Clint has held residencies with Zombies Ate My Brain and Circo Loco, two of London’s biggest club nights, since their inception, and also plays a residency with Zoo Project in Ibiza in the summer. Clint launched Wildlife in Ibiza last summer alongside Zoo Project in the old abandoned Zoo on the island. Clint’s ethos is ‘be creative, be yourself and just let go!’ Something he encourages from behind the box through his sets.
ALEX CORR (PHASE)
Initially a bass player for a local band in Lisbon, Portugal, now based in London, Alex started leaning towards producing, creating live sets under the alias Overtone breaking boundaries in the electronic scene. Alex has now created his own record label Phase Records to create Organic Nature, focusing on a sound that offers a melodic balance between Deep House and Techno with a focus on native influences and tribal rhythms. The result is a pure, organic and wholesome experience!
NICK MALEEDY (EXCUSE THE MESS)
An exciting new addition to London’s thriving underground electronic music scene, with a penchant for deep house, stripped down techno and tribal grooves, Nick mixes and matches a sophisticated playlist of sonic beats and luscious experimental flavours.
