Ahead of our big boat party next week, we thought we'd share a little bit of information about our guest headliner: Shur-i-kan. As always, tickets are available from coordinated-london.com if you fancy coming down.

Shur-i-kan’s trademark blend of musicality with cutting edge electronic production has been turning heads and gaining fans for a number of years now.

An accomplished keyboard player Tom Szirtes aka. Shur-i-kan, cut his teeth working in various jazz funk bands in London and to this day is still a long time member of improvisational dance super group The Bays. As a producer however, Shur-I-kan was first discovered by legendary DJ Tom Middleton (Jedi Knights, Global Communication), who released the debut track "Niomi's Dream" on the seminal Jedi's Night Out compilation for Mixmag.



Shur-i-kan has been a long time and key contributor to Jimpsters’ Freerange Records label (voted Best British Label 2007 by DJ Mag readers) - a relationship that started with the dreamy jazz influenced "Advance" (2001), and the more dance orientated follow-up album "Waypoints" (2004) and continues with a string of classic house EP’s that include “Living Inside”, “I Want It”, “Special Powers” and “Future Fantasy”.

Representing the deeper side of house, Shur-I-kan’s distinctive acclaimed productions have been in heavy demand having remixed the likes of Akabu, Trackheadz, Miguel Migs, Milton Jackson and Fred Everything amongst others. Recently Shur-I-kan has ventured into tech house territory with his much lauded Berlin Rising EP on Defected imprint Physical Graffiti and forthcoming releases on Urban Torque, Winding Road Records and Freerange Records.



Now considered amongst the top of the new wave of deep tech house producers/djs, Shur-I-kan fans include Ben Watt, Funk D’ Void, Spirit Catcher and Jimpster. Shur-i-kan has been building a reputation as a formidable and exciting international DJ and has traversed the world many times rocking crowds from Tokyo, Dubai to LA with his deep and jackin’ sound.

Great booking mate

Indeed - down at Coordinated HQ we're really digging some of his latest tunes! Saturday should be immense :)

We're busy that night mate, but we'll definitely make it down to say hello again soon.

Rock that boat.

Rob, shame you can't make it as you'd probably have a lot of fun with Shur-i-kan...

Keep up the good work though and we'll def catch up soon!
