RE:PLAY, returns with special guest MARTIN BRODIN and host DJ Ben Osborne.

Featuring only one seminal guest DJ each month, RE:PLAY is a back to basics club night that gives guest DJs space to express themselves in full length sets.

This month sees Martin Brodin, one of Scandinavia’s most influential deep house exponents, take to the decs.

Brodin is the founder of Sweden’s deep-house labels, Deeplay Music and Soultec, and the MB Disco neo disco imprint.

He emerged on the international scene in 1990s as a key figure in the deep house wave sweeping through Scandinavia. His Deeplay imprint became a flagship of the movement.

Since then his fluid DJ style has seen his love of early Chicago house develop into a deeper jazz tinged period, followed by a recent return to his roots in disco.

A skilled producer, he’s recently re-worked Georgio Morodor’s The Chase, while his own compositions have featured on such seminal labels as Buzzin Fly, Mood Music and Seamless.

Martin started his neo disco imprint  MB Disco in 2010, releasing on point records by Ilija Rudman, Ray Mang, Chicken Lips and Drop Out Orchestra.

His own releases for the label, such as Gamma Ray and Blood Stud, have been hammered by the likes of Aeroplane, The Revenge, The Glimmers and Tensnake – to name a few admirers.

Martin will be making a rare London appearance at May’s Re:Play.

RE:PLAY with special guest: MARK MOORE & host DJ BEN OSBORNE (Noise Of Art)

Following its packed-out debut at Shoreditch’s new two floor nightclub, Bedroom Bar, RE:PLAY returns with special guest MARK MOORE and host DJ Ben Osborne.

Featuring only one seminal guest DJ each month, RE:PLAY is a back to basics club night that gives guest DJs space to express themselves in full length sets – with one twist. During the set the guest DJ will play a section of music from a particular point in their career. The period selected won’t be announced before the night.

The second guest DJ is one of London’s longest serving and most inspirational DJs.

Mark Moore shot to fame as the driving force behind Eighties electronic pioneers S’EXPRESS and his number one hit ‘The Theme from S-Express’. But to most clubbers today his notoriety owes more to his unique and eclectic DJ skills, than his string of hit records and remixes.

Moore’s pedigree in London’s DJ culture is unparalleled. He started DJing at Philip Salon’s ground-breaking MUD Club – a residency he held for over five years, before being offered a slot at Heaven’s PYRAMID night. There, alongside Colin Favor and Evil Eddie Richards, Moore was one of London’s first exponents of Chicago house and Detroit techno music.

In acid house’s heyday, 1988, ‘The Theme From S-Express‘, written with co-producer Pascal Gabriel – shot to number one across most of the world. But Moore’s rise also saw him bring many others into the limelight.

For his first album Mark worked with a new singer called Billie Ray Martin. He then sought out his favourite producer, a little-known William Orbit. Both went on to become stars.

On his second LP he introduced Sonique and an undiscovered Carl Craig. Sonique became one of the world’s most successful female DJs and a successful solo artist, while many consider Craig Detroit’s finest techno producer.

Over the years Mark has indulged in a huge number of projects, from writing and art projects, to running labels. He was probably the first DJ pop star and ‘Theme From S-Express’ certainly brought UK house to the nation’s homes.

Mark still travels the globe playing electro-disco, twisted house, neo techno and whatever else he fancies to express himself as a most extraordinary DJ.

None of which will help guess what he’ll play at Re:PLAY.

Ben Osborne (Noise of Art Slipped Disco) kick-starts the weekend this Thursday with a return to the Big Chill Bar near Brick Lane, East London.

Our apologies to anyone who came along expecting to find the steampunk and psychedelic shoppe last week. It was Friday 13th and we were duly struck by an endless series of problems, finally coming to a head when the van carrying the props and peformers broke down on the motorway, too far away to mount a rescue operation and leaving us with no choice but to cancel the Shoppe. Our thanks to everyone that supported this event. There will be more soon.

“A brand new club night that sees great London DJs get stuck into a session all night long.” (Time Out)

Celebrating this month’s transformation of Bedroom Bar into a new two floor nightclub, restaurant, bar and live music space, DJ Ben Osborne (Noise of Art) launches his new club night RE:PLAY.

Featuring only one seminal guest DJ each month, RE:PLAY is a back to basics club night that gives guest DJs space to express themselves in full length sets and dancefloors time to get on their groove – with one twist. During the set the DJ will play a section of music from a particular point in their career. The period selected won’t be announced before the night, so it’s up to the train spotters to guess the era.

With the first six months of guests to be announced soon, the first guest DJ is Severino.

Hailing from Northern Italy, Severino literally grew up on a diet of Cosmic Disco. A young disciple of Italo legend Daniele Baldelli – the man who gave cosmic its name – Severino became a DJ in his own right during the Nineties.

After moving to the UK to manage Italian label, Disco Inn, he hooked up with Rob Wood (Editor of Jockey Slut) and Michael Morley (Zomba Records/ Lucky Numbers) to start the infamous Happy Families club night. It was soon snapped up for a residency at Fabric.

At the same time he became a fixture at hip venues on London’s gay scene, taking his trade mark house mixes into such clubs as Crash and AM and starting the CODEX club with fellow Italian jock Nico De Cigelia.

His next big break came at the end of the era dominated by electro clash. Jim Stanton, at the time running the seminal electro night, Cock, decided to open a neo disco club in London (Horse Meat Disco) and Severino had the perfect pedigree for resident DJ.

The growth of disco over the last seven years has seen Severino rise to international fame, particularly in New York, which has more or less adopted him as his third home.

In the process he’s became a conduit for the new NYC sound, importing New York’s cool handclap soundtrack back to the UK. Meanwhile he’s formed underground house outfit Hyena Stomp with Nico and started releasing his own material via labels such as Munich’s cutting edge Gomma imprint.

RE:PLAY will be inviting Severino to revisit a set from a classic period of his past on Saturday 31st March, as well as getting him to unearth new gems. Meanwhile DJ and host Ben Osborne will be keeping the dancefloor moving with a trademark genre blending set.

Line-up // Justin Robertson// Ben Osborne// Kal Lavelle// Kevin Pearce Band// Woolfette// Peter Hepworth// Tiny Dragons// The Art Works// Mystic Rock// Rupert The Brewer

Slipped Disco continues its series of eclectic events celebrating seven years of cross genre clubbing, with a second night of DJs and up-and-coming acts at 93 Feet East.

Split over two rooms, a live room and a club room, and featuring everything from bumping b-line house and cosmic disco to live electronica, folktronica and deep techno.

The first 7 Year Itch in January featured a new singer called Ryan Keen, who has since been garnering a shed-load of Radio 1 airplay. This month’s line-up sees Justin Robertson (Madchester mainstay and Lion Rock founder) return to spin alongside Slipped Disco resident and Noise of Art founder, DJ Ben Osborne, DJ Rupert The brewer and Mystic Rock.

The Live room features three up-and-coming female vocal talents. Irish singer Kal Lavell is a one of Ed Sheeran’s favoured support acts. Her vocal dexterity has also been noted by several dance acts, including Artful, who asked her to sing on their “It Must Be The Bassline” single.

Tiny Dragons are a female fronted Brighton based teen band that’ve been stunning all who’ve seen them with their precocious talent. Their sound takes in everything from funk ridden grooves to spaced-out prog rock.

Although she has so far only released one EP, Wolfette has been grabbing a load of attention with her infectious electronic dance music. Her second release is out in late March and is destined to see her acclaim rise further.

Kevin Pearce blends songwriting with electronica, creating a sound reminiscent of early Nineties downbeat acts such as Portishead. He’s being tipped as an act to watch out for in 2012 by Music Week.

The Art Works are an old school trad folk duo who stumbled into an armoury of effects peddles and accidently morphed into something more Balearic. Their sound is not quite like anything you’ve heard before.

Thank you to all who participated in our Phenomenal Psychedelic Curiosity at Village Underground. The night was a great success and we’ll have film of it soon.

“If you only attend one gig this month make it this…” DJ Magazine.

New York’s Phenomenal Handclap Band are teaming up with London music and art collective, Noise of Art, to play their surround club experience, the Psychedelic Curiosity Show, at Village Underground, London, on 24 February.

The London show marking the release of Phenomenal Handclap Band’s new LP (Form & Control), sees New York’s purveyors of psych, soul, and cosmic disco enter Noise of Art’s psychedelic steam punk world.

Phenomenal Handclap Band’s sound has roots in New York, San Francisco, San Paulo and London. Imagine Curtis Mayfield and Deee-Lite throwing a Nu-Yorican house party with Afro-beat, Cosmic Italo-disco, Turkish psych and ‘70s West Coast music thrown in.

“Brooklyn collective TPHB bring their justly acclaimed psych-rock-cum-cosmic-disco party to town.” (Time Out London)

On the 45th anniversary of the UK’s Psychedelic movement, Noise of Art’s new show is inspired by contemporary steam punk and the 19th Century imagery that inexplicably became prevalent in the late Sixties. It imagines that Sergeant Pepper, Pink Floyd and The Avengers were the result of two universes colliding in 1967; throwing people from a parallel steam punk world into swinging London.

The resulting psychedelic Victoriana features coal-fired flower power, contemporary dancers, curiosities of nature, magic lanterns of psychedelic imagery, steam-powered cosmic house, psyched-out-disco and coal-fired techno.

‘…encapsulates the nostalgic elements of ESG, ELO, Tom Tom Club, The Doors and Sly And The Family Stone, applies a gloss of New York cool and then re-packages it with the modern production of the LCD soundsystem, CSS and Beck variety. Forget the handclap, they’ll take a standing ovation.’ – NME
