LINE UP:  BEN SIMS, THE ADVENT (LIVE), MARK BROOM, JUSTIN ROBERTSON, COLIN DALE, STEVE STRAWBERRY, ROBIN BALL

Tilted Disco has breathed some much needed life into the capital’s electronic music scene since it began back in 2004. Over the past six years it has hosted parties all across London and beyond – from Ministry of Sound and The Egg to Glastonbury Festival – teaming up with promotions with the calibre of Tresor, Split, Closer and Hi-Tek Soul. They have played host to some of the world’s most revered techno DJs and live acts. They now team up with Socialeyes one of the newer electronic music nights on the block. Created in 2006 from the Groovepressure & Groove Pleasure labels the Socialeyes parties have been popping up for one-off nights in and around London until finding their home at Corsica studios in 2010. They have hosted a broad spectrum of quality electronic guests from Funk D Void to Bar9, Terry Francis to Elite Force and always pushing open-minded, forward thinking electronic dance music on the best quality sound systems in intimate fun spaces. Socialeyes are proud to team up with Tilted Disco to bring you this heavyweight line up of Djs and live acts;

Ben Sims - Theory/Ingoma

Known as the '3 deck master', 'the human ableton' and 'the machine', Ben Sims is one of the UK’s biggest techno exports and a much in demand producer. Ben has been involved in running 9 labels, a couple of which are on hold at present (Theory, Killabite, Hardgroove, Native, Ingoma, Symbolism, Assembly, KB Records inc, Split Music), each one with a distinctive sound, ranging from hardgroovin’ and funk driven techno and house that is the trademark of his DJ sets, via tribal, to melodic electronica.

The Advent (live) - Kombination Research // Portugal

Advent – a coming, or an arrival; a coming into being or use. Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions!

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries.

Mark Broom – 2020 Vision

Former East Londoner now Norfolk based Mark Broom has always been a name that is synonymous with the UK electronic music scene. A truly prolific artist, he has a myriad of production credits to his name having worked with world renowned labels such as Mo-Wax, Warp, R&S, Soma, Ifach (with Baby Ford ) Bpitch Control, Platzhirsch,Rotary Cocktail, Material and more recently 2020 vision. Producing some of the worlds most exciting dance music Mark is a must for this party.

Justin Robertson – Bugged Out

Justin Robertson's tastes have always been catholic though in 2009 you would be hard pushed to find a musician working successfully in areas as diverse as techno, house, dancehall and art pop. Justin is a true modernist: he excels as a DJ of international repute; is a creator of bespoke techno; one third of New Pop band Thee Earls, a remixer for the likes of The Whip, Bjork and Felix Da Housecat and, most recently he has written and produced an album called Silent Life.

Colin Dale - Wildlife-am / Tilted Disco

To call Colin Dale "legendary" is no over-estimation here is an artist that has been one of London's most cutting edge Djs for over 20 years and still continues to surprise and marvel. As resident of Tilted Disco and also a regular at Socialeyes events it's only right to get Colin to rock the dance floor.

Steve Strawberry - Sedition DJs / Tilted Disco

Steve Strawberry is emerging as one of the most passionate and talented young DJs around. Promoter and resident of Tilted Disco his enthusiasm and skill behind the decks have won him much support from both fellow DJs and clubbers alike. Don't be fooled by the light-hearted name either, this guy likes his music rough and tough, and has developed a fresh interpretation of the acid house blueprint.

Robin Ball - Socialeyes / Samura.fm

Robin has been djing since his early teens, he did his first club gig in 1992 and since then has played in clubs from the Uk to Australia alongside all his heroes, in 1997 he started the Groovepressure and Groove Pleasure record labels and club nights which ran right up to 1996 when his newest project Socialeyes was born.

Gus Brown – Mixtape Records

Gus label owner and producer at Mixtape records will be warming up the main room with an alternitive set of Funk, Disco and House.

Silicone Soul - The Darkroom Dubs interview

Ahead of the next Socialeyes party we catch up with Graeme from Silicone Soul to chat about Soma Records, the Glasgow scene, listening to and making music and what makes a good party.

Q:  You are signed to the excellent Soma Records, and you have your own label “Darkroom Dubs”, do you release music yourselves on both labels or is Darkroom Dubs for other artists?

A: Darkroom dubs is there more to release work from other artists although we do like to put something out of our own from time to time and we get involved remixing some of the releases. We recently released "The Time Mariner's Mirrour" on the label which was well received.

Q:  Soma Records has been a force on the electronic scene since the early 90’s, what positive benefits have you found being part of a family like that? Did you release music on any other labels before you signed to Soma?

A: For us it means a great deal to be signed with soma, we first were exposed to the music by Slam at the arches, the first records we bought were soma releases so it's really encouraging that they support us, I think when you are working with a label that has such a great, long running reputation it can only help when it comes to getting your music across to people. we actually started out releasing 2 records on our own “Depth Perception” label in the late 90s , slam were playing the tracks at their gigs and that was kind of the first step to us signing with them .

Q:  There’s a really strong electronic music scene in Glasgow, it’s certainly been an important city for house music over the years, why do you think this is?

A: For me the strength of Glasgow’s electronic scene can really be traced back to the guys that kicked it off – Slam / Soma and Harri and the gang at the Subclub, they’ve guaranteed that you can hear the best in electronic music in the city ever since.

Q: Do you get time to listen to other music and if so what music do you take inspiration from?

A: Yeah we both try to keep our home listening as varied as possible. We grew up pretty mad for rocky/punky 60s/70s music and to this day it's something we feel rubs off on the tunes all the time, obviously dub has had a big impact along with soul & disco sounds, 

 but in general it's impossible not to take something from everything you hear - even if it's " I don't want to ever sound like that ".

Q:  What else in life gives you inspiration to make music?

A:  Everything and anything from personal experience and emotional responses to books, movies, current events... Again I think if you're into music and making music, whatever you live through and come across will affect matters in some way .

Q:  What projects and releases are you working on at the moment?

A:  We are working on a bunch of remixes at the moment as well as starting to put together ideas for a new album. Next year is Soma's 20th birthday so there's going to be all kinds of exciting stuff happening with that .

Q:  Silicone Soul is a duo but I believe you live in different countries? How do you work the production process?

A: These days it involves a lot of swapping projects by email, we both run the same daw so it's really easy. In many ways it helps because between us we're like an octopus now.

Q:  At your gigs do you play records, cds or are you computer based? 

A:  I play with cds these days and Craig uses Traktor. I think a lot of folk get hung up on this but it's the noise that matters not what makes it.

Q:  What makes a good party for you?

A: For me the important stuff is the people and the soundsystem. I enjoy playing so it's got to be quite a dire situation before a party could be anything other than good :)

SOCIALEYES 25 SEPTEMBER @ CORSICA STUDIOS

On Saturday 25th September, Socialeyes returns to Corsica Studios for its third party of the summer with another killer line-up, merging the sounds of the new-breed with some of the best loved DJ’s on the circuit for a night of quality techno, electro, house, disco, dubstep, breaks, beats and bass. 

Since 2006 Socialeyes have been running special one-off parties around London.  This summer saw the first party at Corsica Studios back in May, followed by the 6th boat party down the River Thames.   Always pushing open-minded, forward thinking electronic dance music on the best quality sound systems in intimate fun spaces.  Corsica Studios is a favourite venue for Socialeyes, having been voted ‘Best Small Club’ in DJ Magazine, boasting two intimate rooms, both with Funktion 1 sound systems, and with its raw underground vibe it fits perfectly with the Socialeyes ethos.

Socialeyes is not restricted to one genre of music, the emphasis is quite simply on ‘good’ music.  Created by Robin Ball, Socialeyes was born out of a passion for quality electronic music, a desire to hear big DJ’s on big soundsystems in small intimate spaces, and a place for friends old and new to just come and dance to music they love.  Through Socialeyes, and a lot of hard work Robin is realising his dream.

So on Saturday 25th September, in the ‘Groove Pleasure’ Room you’ll find the brilliant Funk D Void, Silicone Soul and Justin Robertson, complemented by Socialeyes creator Robin Ball, all playing a sublime mixture of electro, disco, house and techno.  While in the ‘Groovepressure’ Room is one of London’s favourite pioneers of breaks, dubstep and beats; Elite Force, alongside man of many musical talents; Tayo (known for his infamous Tracksuit Parties, and a long-serving residency at Fabric with his Cool & Deadly nights), plus Robin Ball in his Robin Beats moniker.  This is one busy man!

The Groove Pleasure and Groovepressure rooms represent the different sides to Robin’s musical passions.  They are also the names of his previous record labels and are currently used as titles to his radio shows on Samurai FM.  Tune in here to check them out – www.samurai.fm/groovepleasure   /  www.samurai.fm/groovepressure

AND ONE FOR THE MEMORY BANKS, WHO DOESNT LOVE THIS CLASSIC RECORD....
FUNK D'VOID 'DIABLA' 
 

Terry Francis Interview

Q: You’ve been in this game a long time; please explain what got you hooked on the idea of being a dj?

A: I'd always collected records and loved music and this bikers bar I knew had a basement and decks and they asked me to do a night in there, it became really popular, then someone asked me to play on the South Coast, which lead to playing at Sterns and it all carried on from there.

Q: What dj’s were you listening to before you took up the headphones?

A: David Rodigan, Paul Trouble Anderson, John Peel, Kiss FM when it was a pirate station and Solar Radio.

Q: As a dj you are well known for your clean fluid mixing style, was this the way your heroes played and do your current favorites play in this style, or could you also be impressed by a more cut and paste, chop it up style?

A: I’m not really into the cut and paste style; I prefer music to have a bit more flow.  I was going to listen to Eddie Richards and he blew me away, we had very similar taste in music at the time and he is still my current favorite today.

Q: If you were going to have a night off and go out to a club which artist / dj would you like to hear?

A: I'd go and see Sasse, Eddie Richards obviously, Andrew Weatherall, or I'd just go to one of my mates parties in London such as Kerfuffle and have fun with my friends.

Q: In 1997 you won Muzik Magazines ''Best New DJ'' Award” which I know changed things dramatically in your career, but I always remember when I was abroad dj’ing in places that Muzik Magazine wasn’t as well known, people knew you for a mix cd that you had released, I think it was on Pagan, can you tell us more about that release?

A: It was called ‘Architecture’.  At the time most of the music out there was wishy washy disco loops or banging techno so I think it was different and went down well, it caught peoples imagination as I think there was need for something a bit different at the time.

Q: You celebrated 16 years of Wiggle parties this year! I remember going to an early Wiggle party and it sticks in my mind as being exactly what acid house was and is all about, a good sound system, dark warehouse and deep tech house sounds! How did the Wiggle parties come about and what is your favorite Wiggle moment?

A: At the time in the early 90's when Kiss FM had become a commercial radio station, they had taken over London with the same old DJs, so we decided to do a night in an old warehouse to bring back a bit of a vibe which the underground crowd appreciated.  The Wiggle name comes from my friend Tobi, her Dad used to call her My Little Wiggle when she was younger and Nathan and I thought it a fun name for a fun party.  As for my favorite Wiggle moment there are far too many for me to put down here ;o)

Q: There have been some releases lately by you and Klunk on Wiggle Recordings, is this a new partnership and can we be expecting more music from you soon?

A: Yes my partner Klunk and I have been making music under the moniker Klunk & Zilly.  We have done a few remixes for various labels and we are starting up a label to release our own music and remixes we've done for other people.

Q: What’s your favorite thing about being a fabric resident?

A: I'm blessed to be able to play at fabric, it’s a forward thinking club musically and it’s in my home town - I also met my girlfriend Sassie there.

Q: All the rooms at fabric have a different musical and atmospheric vibe, which do you prefer to play in and why?

A: It’s great to be able to play different styles in different rooms which you wouldn't get the opportunity to do at many other places so I like them all really.

Q: Obviously having to be at fabric every Saturday means you don’t get to travel as much as you used to, do you miss the weekends away playing at different clubs around the world? Or is it nice not to have to spend hours in airports and hotel rooms?

A: I still travel every Friday and I take the odd Saturday out to play other places, I’m enjoying travelling at the moment.

Q: Obviously you are known for your house and techno sets but are there any other styles of dance music you like? Do you ever get to play an alternative set?

A: Every now and then I do a funk and soul set, but only if I’m asked by mates really.

Q: As a dj do you play records, cds or are you computer based?

A:   At the moment I’m playing with cds as when I’m travelling its easier, but I still play vinyl at fabric sometimes and will be switching over to Traktor soon

Q: What makes a good party for you?

A: Good music!

The Socialeyes Boat Party is back! On Saturday 14th August with Terry Francis, Justin Robertson, Matt Tolfrey and Robin Ball

The Socialeyes boat party is back again this summer and setting sail on the great waves of the River Thames on (what will hopefully be) a balmy Saturday evening in August, where you can listen to the sublime sounds of the Socialeyes dj’s whilst taking in the beautiful sights of London as we sail by into the sunset and into the night with one of the most fun parties in town.

Last years boat party was the best yet! Justin Robertson did us proud with a perfect mix of Balearic, acid house, tech and disco sounds. It was so good in fact that we’ve asked him back! And last year we couldn’t get enough of the sounds, the sail and the good times, so this year we’ve added another 90 minutes onto the sailing time and brought another world class dj into the fold; Fabric resident Terry Francis! And on top of that we've secured an exclusive after party at Corsica Studios in London to take us through to 6am with special guest Matt Tolfrey.

So expect quality house, techno, electro & disco with some well chosen classics; good vibes; good people; and definitely a better way to party.
