Who the hell is Kevin Saunderson???????????

Cast your mind back to 1984, when dance music consisted of tacky chart hits and Fame-spin-off one-hit-wonders. Imagine a world today where the only alternative to a night-in in-front of the box is dancing around handbags to High-School Musical tunes, and you're getting close....

Your review

Music : Jackin House, Deep House, Tech House, Acid House and Techno



..............................................

Ladies, Gentleman and Insomniac Freaks! Your attention please! Lend me your eyes for but a minute to relay upon them notice of a future treat - one that you might share with all your senses.

SATURDAY 21ST FEBRUARY! (I shout)

But a week will have passed since cupid’s arrows rained down on our hearts, so let us inflate them once more with the love of music...

dirty pounding tech-house music!

First let us face the ultimate conundrum – how can music this sordid, this FILTHY! Provoke such Cheshire cat beaming, such a gorgeous feeling in your soul?

Ask not: why? Why not! Just unite! Rejoice! And dance until the cockerel crows, (and after too if it takes your fancy!)

with Kevin Saunderson (Detroit)

A master will be in our midst, shining forth his majesty. Not since yesteryear has he graced these shores, one not to miss, nor to forget in haste. Plying his trade for over a score of years, his legend is widespread and on this night it will be for all to hear.

at the Lightbox (Vauxhall)

With Ibicencan warmth we shall greet you and welcome you into our home – a box of light as bright as Helios shines on his birthday.


By Jove! A party has been promised, and a right royal shindig we shall have! Hedonism, debauchery and dancing feet - your invitaions are on the side... All others, take this as so, COME!

* DESCRIPTION *


On Saturday February 21st Kevin Saunderson returns to London to play for Filthy Gorgeous at the Lightbox in a rare visit that is sure to have fans twitching in anticipation.

When you talk of legends in techno music, only a few can really say they were there at the beginning. Along with Derrick May and Juan Atkins, Saunderson made up the "Belleville Three” who are widely credited with inventing the genre in the motor-city of Detroit. Names from Carl Cox to Sven Vath count him as inspirational in their own journey to greatness, and after last March's roadblock London Coronet show, he proved once again that his style and passion for music are as fierce as ever.

Underground tech-house party-starters Filthy Gorgeous are putting on the night, adding a chupito or ten of Balearic hedonism to South London. It is their first date of the New Year, after 2008 saw a residency in the Ibiza institution that is Space as well as tours of Mexico, Thailand and Australia. Residents Scott Martin and Jamie Gittins both appeared for We Love Space and on Cream Terrace respectively in 2008, while Lee Rands and Nic & Kaleb are current hot-properties on the London underground party circuit.

They will be joined by Leftroom records' MarcAshken, one of the rising stars of London's party scene. A prolific producer, who has come into his own within his home, the Leftroom imprint. Ashken treats his productions as a personal journey, an expression of his influences and his environment, never conforming MarcAshken is making his own rules.

Hosting the back-room will be "Metrik" the brain child of some very serious industry players! They've drafted in the telented (oh and gorgeous) Rebekah to see their debut off with a bang!

All this is taking place at The Lightbox in Vauxhall, a spectacle in itself with 15,000 separate LED lights and lasers lining the main room to put on a show that provides a unique clubbing experience.
