The countdown has started to EASTERN ELECTRICS
House | Monday 11th July 2011 | Osh
You may have felt it before; three times a year London trembles, and from under the ground rise talented new stars of the electronic music scene to take part in eastern electrics’ massive musical showcase. The next takeover of Great Suffolk Street Warehouse is occurring this August bank holiday Sunday (the 28th) and promises a suitably formidable line-up, specially selected by three of the finest house labels: mulletover, Made to Play and Reprise. Simon Baker is to feature in the mulletover room following the release of his hotly-anticipated long player ‘Traces’ earlier this year from 2020 Vision, along with the flourishing Robert Dietz who will be bringing his rich, hypnotic house to warm up the floor. The mulletover mischief-makers have also just added leftfield house aficionado and front-runner of the nu-school Richy Ahmed (resident at Hot Natured) to their list, along with a very special guest to be announced… Made To Play label founder and DJ Jesse Rose is himself featuring in the Made To Play room, performing his own blend of deep and heavy minimal tech; you have been warned to ‘expect the unexpected’ as his insightful selections give his sets an overall vibe that is impossible to define. Also representing Made To Play on the decks will be Riva Starr, Zombie Disco Squad and long-time favourites Renaissance Man. Reprise have chosen to saturate the warehouse air with the fresh dubstep and drum and bass sounds of Icicle, along with Rinse FM favourite Monki (Lucy Monkman), Paul Woolford, T. Williams and Seams (live). As if that wasn’t enough, the Dark Sky trio will be supplying their progressive mix of every genre from UK garage and house to jungle and disco. DJs will be running all night from 10pm to 6am, and there are to be four releases of tickets in total, rising in steps from £10 up to £18.
