OXIA
Since his very first EP in 1995, Olivier Raymond aka Oxia has been at the forefront of the French electronic music scene. With his friend The Hacker and their label Goodlife, Olivier has regenerated the sound of French production. A critical part of the "nouvelle vague" French electronique and a comtemporary of Agoria, Vitalic, David Carretta, Kiko and Black Strobe, recently Oxia has also been releasing on Kompakt and UK label Tsuba. And his biggest UK track of 2006, Domino, was the monster that soundtracked nearly every confused underground afternoon in shoreditch ...
ABE DUQUE (LIVE SHOW)
Abe's new album, When the fever breaks, is a huge stylistic leap forward from its hugely successful predecessor So Underground it hurts. Part of that is a new emphasis on live playing from an artist who has released music on labels as famous as Tresor, Disko-b, Gigolo, Warner and V2, Vortex, Mainframe, Tension, Abuse, Mille Plateaux, Sonic Groove & Rapture. That's before you consider his history - a residency at the Limelight - the scene of the film Party Monster, and a place that made a four-day bender in London seem like a quiet walk in the park - producing the most recent DJ Hell album and remixing artists from Miss Kittin to the Chemical Brothers. Playtime/GEEK was the first ever club to bring Abe to London, and we're very pleased to have him back...
BIG DADDY
The man behind Playtime the club and Playtime Records, "one of the best labels to come out of 2005" (IDJ), Big Daddy has long been the cheerleader for a new London sound built around local boys like Mike Monday, King Roc, the Cheshire Catz and internationals like Kerowack, Justin Martin and Claude von Stroke (whose first ever London gig with was Playtime). 2007 sees the first release of his own productions and the UK and European launch of a new club with John Acquaviva, Electrodeluxe.
