The birthday in February and the Anjunadeep party in March most certainly lived up to expectations. Michael Cassette and Solarity’s storming 4 hours of uplifting house, progressive and trance was one of the highlights of ES over the past few years and we will be keeping this high quality standard of bookings as the year moves on.
Yet again the party was a sell out and that is officially are 36th sell out in a row. Doing these monthly was a risk, but one that definitely has paid off and is helping ES go from strength to strength.
Musically we toughen things up slightly for May on the upper deck, with the usual driving, uplifting and dirty house and electro downstairs. Adam Sheridan will be making his long awaited debut for us alongside an ES favourite Mike Foyle, who has supported us when ES Have gone on tour in the UK. The bank holiday will not get any better than this and we have 2 days to recover so time to party hard!

Mike is best known for integrating his lush piano compositions with smooth, melodic trance music, and has now released four piano trance hits on Armind Recordings along with remixes from some of the best producers on the global dance music scene. Between his own name, his various aliases such Andromeda, Statica and Bolt, plus numerous collaborations with the likes of Filo & Peri, the Signalrunners and X-Vertigo, Mike has put his hand to a broad range of styles from the serene and uplifting vibe of ‘Love Theme Dusk’, the smooth, progressive and lush ‘Deadly Nightshade’ and the groovey, melodic and fresh ‘Buff Monkey’ – this guy delivers anthems more reliably than your postman delivers the mail!
His DJ sets are an affair just as eclectic, featuring anything from classic trance to modern and edgy madness drenched in tantalising melodies, atmospheres and soundscapes, all expertly blended together. Mike is a man on a mission, bouncing from continent to continent on an insane full time international adventure performing at the hottest clubs and festivals in the world.
Armed with a potent classical background, he is also well respected as a composer of piano music, and has begun working alongside film production companies in a bid to further develop his skills as a writer and producer on the audio-visual playing field.
Having gained a Degree and National Diploma in Music Technology, Mike is now working on experimental sonic arts projects, the most notable of which is a project designed to integrate music with audio based brainwave entrainment and biofeedback.

The birthday in February most certainly lived up to expectations. Dance legend Matt Darey’s storming 2 hour set of uplifting house, electro and trance was one of the highlights of the past 4 years and was fitting to have such a great label such as nocturnal on board for the 4th birthday. Matt will be back later in the year for another one he enjoyed it so much! with people travelling from all over the world including Mexico, The States and Asia you can see the appeal he had. March sees us keeping up with our high level line ups where we bring in two sets of Djs who are flying the flag for the much loved and highly popular label Anjunadeep! Michael Cassette and Solarity will headline this special event and they will be supported by some of the best local talent around!

Michael Cassette
Michael Cassette are quickly becoming many people’s favourite Progressive House act, thanks to a string of magnificent productions on the Anjunadeep label that have captured the attention of the masses with their tracks starting to crop up ever more regularly on the worlds best Dj’s playlists. It’s interesting to see how they combine influences from the 80’s into their melodic breakdowns, while balancing it out with modern and funky beats & basslines. Definitely an act to watch out for, especially if you like your Progressive House in equal parts melodic and funky.
Komytea is the collaboration between producers Matti Heininen and Erkka Lempiäinen. Today, Komytea’s deep, dark and twisted sound has rendered it one of the key names in cutting-edge progressive house, and Komytea’s productions have been included in remarkable compilations such as Above & Beyond’s Anjunadeep: Vols.1 and 2, James Zabiela’s Renaissance: The Masters, and Ministry of Sound Clubbers’ Guide 2008.
Michael Cassette made a huge impact at the forefront of the dance scene, with tracks like “Zeppelin” and “Shadow’s movement”. Combining up-to-the-minute production techniques with retro influences and nostalgic, melancholic melodies, the music of Michael Cassette is nothing if not unique.
Komytea presents Michael Cassette LIVE is a unique new concept act comprised of live performance and visuals, bringing together music from each extremity of the duo’s sonic spectrum, and everything in between. Not to be missed.
This will be their first appearance for ElectronicSessions and one we are very excited about.

Solarity
Solarity are the much-hyped duo of Alfie Granger-Howell and Nick Harriman, both born and raised in London.
Since their very first release appeared in the record crates of some of the world’s most popular DJs in July 2008, Solarity have been proving themselves as a shining beacon of innovation in an often stagnant musical world. In a time in dance music where genre continues to be obsessed over, Solarity have been pioneering their unique sound with a healthy disregard for categories and labels. Their music takes in the best aspects of techno, house, trance and everything in between, fusing it together in a potent mix that is full of both musicality and emotion. From hypnotic grooves and understated melodies, to epic breakdowns and mind-bending electronics, their music has been eagerly winning over fans on a global level, DJs and clubbers alike.
Headline names from traditionally separate corners of the dance music world have been championing their sound, from Armin van Buuren, Above and Beyond and Nick Warren to Dubfire and Laurent Garnier. With a stream of releases and gigs scheduled for the near future, this duo are quickly moving up the ranks to become some of the brightest up and coming talents in dance music.Again making an ES debut we are very excited to see them perform.
