Filed under Event News
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.

It all started in February 2006 when we kicked off ES parties at Se1’s ‘Deep Blue Arena’ with Ashley Casselle, John Askew, Gavyn Mytchell and Andy Bagguley. We would like to think 4 years on we are still pushing boundaries and putting on some of the best and most upfront line ups in the Capital. We have come a long way since then though. With regular parties at Deep Blue in 2006 with the likes of Andy Moor, Simon Patterson and the forementioned we moved onto Hidden in Vauxhall for 4 parties in 2007 with some of the worlds biggest Trance Djs like Gareth Emery, Solarstone, Matt Hardwick, John O’Callaghan and Lange, to name just a few. We also tried out new up-and-coming venues, like Corsica Studios, where we handed London and UK debuts to the likes of Leon Bolier, Jonas Steur, Andrew Bennett and Re:Locate.
It was in 2007 that the boat parties really started to kick off and over the past 4 years we have managed to sell out over 25, which has been an incredible experience for us. It was something we realised no one else was doing on a regular basis and has taken off more than we could of have ever imagined. If you like dancing to some of the best Djs in the world, in an intimate surrounding, with 240 other people then this is for you! Basically one big house party on the Thames.
Over 300 Djs have now graced the ES turntables on the Thames with headliners including Andy Moor, Agnelli and Nelson, Menno De Jong, Futureshock, Jody Wisternoff, Smith & Pledger, Sied Van Riel, Prok and Fitch, Orkidea, Dj Montana, Phil Kieren, Jon O’Bir, Slacker, Greg Downey, Dj Tab & Super 8, David West, Ronski Speed…..the list goes on and on. 2010 is the year we hope to take things up yet another level and we feel for our 4th birthday there is no one better to fit the bill than a legend in the music industry. None other than Matt Darey…..
MATT DAREY
Matt has been one of the pioneers of today’s dance scene being a major influence on today’s world class DJ’s. Because of this, and the fact that this will be Matt’s first London appearance in well over a year, makes this a very special gig.
Throughout his 17 year career of producing & writing house, trance, breaks and progressive and much more he has sold well over 2 million albums & singles with numerous top 10 & top 20 chart hits.
His Nocturnal radio show is the worlds fastest expanding multi genre dance radio show now broadcast on 116 FM stations worldwide. In recent years Matt has been playing his unique “Nocturnal” blend of many styles including electro, progressive, tech, trance and occasional house & breaks. Matt’s new project is an album by his rocktronica band alias `Urban Astronauts` which fuses rock influences with EDM and will be released in 2008…
Matt Darey started his musical career back in 1992 when he released his own independent record and soon after signed his first major album deal with Warner Bro’s and Sire Records in NYC. Matt’s productions have been a major influence on many of today’s top DJ’s like Oakenfold, Tiesto, Armin Van Buren, Paul Van Dyk, Above & Beyond and many more. A chameleon of sound, Matt has produced everything from breaks to house to trance and progressive and was responsible for some of the pinnacle tracks and top ten chart hits to come from the scene including Li Kwan – Point Zero, Lost Tribe – Game Master, ATB – Till I Come, Binary Finary – 1998, Grace – Not Over Yet, Matt Darey – Beautiful and countless others! Constantly touring the globe Matt is respected as a leading DJ in the scene bringing a truly international & Multi genre flavor to his sets.
Li Kwan – Point Zero was one of the first records to be made of the new Genre that then went on to be known as Trance. Embraced by leading DJ’s at the time Pete Tong who made Matt his essential new tune twice and Paul Oakenfold who quoted that Li Kwan was in his top 5 all time fav tracks. Following on from that Matt got into the remix game and turned out numerous club hits which are listed in the discography section. Meanwhile Matt launched his new act Lost Tribe and created one of the all time club anthems Gamemaster on the legendary Hooj Choons label. Matt also went on to launch artists like Tall Paul and Agnelli & Nelson in to the top 20 for the first time with his massive A-side productions.
Since 1998 he sold well over 2 million singles and albums with the Darey imprint, and has been responsible for some of the biggest remixes and productions. Matt took a vacation from the world of music for almost 3 years from 2001 to 2004 and then came back to launch his own label Darey Products. Today he continues to push forward the sounds of dance music into new areas with his rock influenced productions and has continued to tour the globe with his own unique blend of music from many genres.
It’s not often we bring the labels in to represent themselves, however after the success of Andy Moor’s AVA Party last year we thought this was the perfect opportunity to bring in another one.
TYRRELL
Hailing from Toronto, Canada. Tyrrell moved to London to continue and progress with his music career in the 1990’s. First and foremost a fantastic producer, and engineering for the likes of David Bowie, A Guy Called Gerald, Boy George, George Michael, Blue Pearl , Simply Red, Giles Peterson, Lilly Allen, Ronie Size and Dirty South to name a few you can see how widespread his talent must be. Producing also for the Stero Mc’s and The Orb, his experience and expertise grew and is now making some of the best progressive and top quality house music around. He has been hand picked by Matt Darey himself who is a huge fan of his work and we are all very much looking forward to him making his ES Debut !
THE PERSUADERS
http://www.electronicsessions.co.uk/residents/the-persuaders
ES legends, this djing duo have been with us for the best part of 3 years and continue to rock the dancefloor with their energy and quality house music
SHAUN MYNETT
Shaun’s “prog’ with a punch” DJ style went down very well at his ES debut in September, and for Plastic Fondu back in April where he played one of the sets of the night.
In 2009, Shaun appeared at clubs including Ministry Of Sound and Gatecrasher, alongside Ronski Speed, Andy Duguid, Seamus Haji, Sonny Wharton, Alex P, and also featured as a Nu Breed DJ on Galaxy FM with Riley & Durrant.

LEOLIFE
LeoLife aka Luke Curran & Stephen Glide were formed back in June 2009. Luke & Stephen have known each for nearly 10 years so joining forces was an easy decision for them both. Before LeoLife, they had been DJ’ing individually in some of London’s top nightclubs causing some serious dancefloor damage, so by bringing their combined DJ experiences and skills together, a formidable partnership was created.
LeoLife pride themselves on their versatility in terms of music selection and set arrangement. Luke and Stephen have experience in a variance of set times and music genres ranging from house warm-up sets to big room Trance closing sets as well as driving Techno sets. Peak time sets are just as regular for LeoLife and the carefully chosen tracks reflect exactly the party atmosphere generated in the room. Being perfectionists, LeoLife are highly skilled when it comes to mixing techniques and using effects to compliment mixes and build ups.
The beginning of 2010 went down a storm playing the midnight set on New Years Eve at Scala under the Fused brand alongside Internationally acclaimed Smartie Partie, which is a sign of how far LeoLife have come in just over a year of Dj’ing. 2010 is set be a follow on of 2009’s success, with sets at potentially many new venues across the country as well as moving further into the realms of music production. Already there are a few tracks in progress with a view to exposing them in DJ sets over the course of the next year.
MARK MYERS
Mark has been playing for us now for nearly a year and this is already his 4th appearance. A Popular Dj who really knows how to set the tone of the night. The very best in progressive and tech house! We are delighted he will be performing on this special occasion!
BEN RUFFELL
Having played at some of the top clubs in London we are giving this young Dj his debut and a great place to showcase his progressive and electro based sound. Having played on the continent at clubs like BCM In Majorca as well he isn’t short of experience for his age.
Completing the line up we have TONGUE AND GROOVE who are a couple of Dynamic dj’s with exciting sounds, intergrated styles, with a passion for dance/club music and TWIN BEATZ who are a very talented due in the tech house, progressive mold, making their second ES appearances.

ElectronicSessions 2010 begins on…
However Wisternoff met with fellow DJ Nick Warren in a Bristol record shop which saw the birth of the progressive house act Way Out West. Fusing the dub sounds of Bristol with club beats the duo saw the peak of their success in the mid to late 90s with tracks like “The Gift” and “Ajare”.
Recently Jody has been producing solo 80s inspired electro house tracks, with three productions released thus far: ‘Cold Drink, Hot Girl,’ ‘Nostalgia’ and ‘Starstrings.’
Way Out West’s long-awaited fourth album, titled “We Love Machine,” was released on October 6, 2009 and the duo are also planning a live tour.

ElectronicSessions & AVA Recordings October Boat Party flyer
MIKE SHIVER
Producer, DJ & Label Manager; Mike Shiver has been one of the most talked-about upcoming talents over the last years.
Since breaking onto the scene in 2003 with one of the year’s most exciting productions: ‘Mike Shiver – Feelings (Lost Language)’, Mike has worked with labels like Armada Music, Nebula Records, Euphonic Records, Lost Language and the list just goes on.
December 2003 saw Mike start his own label, Captured Music. The first release on Captured ‘Sonicvibe & Mike Shiver – Lunation’ received massive support from many of the world top DJ’s.
Since the label launch of ‘Captured Music’, things have really taken off and Mike is currently DJ’ing throughout Europe & the states as well as spinning on various radio stations. Mike has also broadcast his own radio show entitled ‘Captured Radio’ on Digitally Imported (Di.Fm).
With excellent remix work from well known acts such as Solarstone, Ronski Speed (Sun Decade), Mike Koglin, Lost Witness, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Markus Schulz, Darude and Benno De Goeij (Rank 1), a long with keeping you constantly updated with fresh material. Mike has reserved himself a spot amongst the most promising of tomorrow’s DJs. This will be Mikes first London appearance for over 2 years, so it’s one we are very much looking forward too.
MYON AND SHANE 54
Myon & Shane 54 might not have a long history, yet they managed to achieve some notable success in terms of productions and / or remixes, besides weren’t short of fully-blown A-list Dj support in the past few months of their existence.
The duo started separately: Shane 54 & Myon were already established artists on their own right when they joined forces. Remixes for Oakenfold, Above & Beyond or Vandit on one side, a triple release as an introduction for Black Hole on the other. All entities were gone, resulting a “real” band, not just two guys who happened to work together for a few moments.
“We have this incredible musical bond” – says Myon, the 24-year old Hungarian from the South of the country, Szeged. – “Either of us starts a musical sentence, the other will finish it like it was meant to be. It’s weird, but very useful: we’re very effective together.”Their music speaks for itself: the guys scored a Beatport Number One remix (Andy Moor & Carrie Skipper – So Much More), and a Number One Single on Audiojelly (Vampire’s superb Gareth Emery remix, but their own version was number two as well).
Within a couple of weeks’ time three of their remixes were voted “Record Of The Week” on Above & Beyond’s “Trance Around The World” radio show, where they been just awarded “Guestmix of the Year” for their 30-minute mini-epic, that has clearly caused quite a stir on the TATW forums.
One of their signature songs, “Not A Lot Left” (with its fairly ironic vocal sample) also was a big record on Anjunabeats: it ended up on Above & Beyond’s 2008 compilation, “Anjunabeats Vol. 6.” According to the guys themselves the track was one of the highlights of their summer sets. The world’s number 4 dj trio seems to be really fond on them, just as most of the other guys in the top 10.
This was only the beginning though: after being featured on Armin Van Buuren’s ASOT 2008 compilation (and countless times on his radio show), Myon & Shane 54 has been asked to remix “Never Say Never” for his new artist album “Imagine The Remixes”.
“The challenge is tough: your music not only have to meet the standards and expectations of the number one dj of the world, but it actually has to be so good, he could call it his own.” – Shane 54 agrees they both had a hard time finishing it. – “We made 4 different versions, just to ditch them all immediately for the 5th. A lot of struggle went into this one.”
These days the guys working on something big again: they’ve been offered to make a mix compilation for Armada, Armin Van Buuren’s smashing international dance label. The tracklist is full of exclusive material, mostly their own takes of tracks they like, some of them never heard before or haven’t been available anywhere else.
They will be making their ES Debut, London Debut and UK Debut on this party!!
ASHLEY WALLBRIDGE
Ashley Wallbridge started his career very early on as a DJ. Known as a prodigy for winning 18+ dj competitions in the UK with fake ID. Ash has been featured on Radio 1 at the tender age of 16 alongside Fergie and Dave Pierce. During this time he also played at Newcastle superclub IKON to over 2500 people and all over the UK and now Europe. Age has never been a factor for him and 2008 saw him sailing his way into the production world with his first signing to Lyon Echo in NYC followed by the Definitive VOL 1 EP on Auryn Music and CAPTIVE on DBR. Ashley has had the support of most of the biggest names in HOUSE & TRANCE and is equally comfortable producing Prog, Electro, Trance, Vocal and Techno under no separate Alias. All but 2 releases have been in the top 30 in beatport prog and he has charted on too many playlists to mention. Always improving on the last and becoming very unpredictable Ashley is proud to be a son of all EDM music both as a dj and a producer. Look for him to surprise many this year and next and be the UK’s next big thing.
Ashley comes to us from sunny Stoke-on-Trent in England like Andy Moor with his own fusion of electro, trance, and progressive. Blasting in with his own EP, we’re sure to expect great things in the near future! Again this is another ES and London debut and one we wait for eagerly.
LIZZIE CURIOUS
One of the most popular Djs around and definitely at ES, Lizzie returns to us for her first ES gig since July after her summer in Ibiza where she had the privilege ( pardon the pun ) to be a weekly resident for Robbie Riviera’s Juicy night at Privilege. There she has continued to make a name for herself as one of the Uk’s top female Djs handing over the headphones to not only Robbie but also Marco V and Stonebridge to name a few. Many of the ES faithful will be eagerly awaiting this set, especially as Lizzie has managed to get her hands on some of the finest upfront tuneage possible over the summer. Don’t miss it !!

“The challenge is tough: your music not only have to meet the standards and expectations of the number one dj of the world, but it actually has to be so good, he could call it his own.” – Shane 54 agrees they both had a hard time finishing it. – “We made 4 different versions, just to ditch them all immediately for the 5th. A lot of struggle went into this one.”
These days the guys working on something big again: they’ve been offered to make a mix compilation for Armada, Armin Van Buuren’s smashing international dance label. The tracklist is full of exclusive material, mostly their own takes of tracks they like, some of them never heard before or haven’t been available anywhere else.
They will be making their ES Debut, London Debut and UK Debut on this party!!
ASHLEY WALLBRIDGE
Ashley Wallbridge started his career very early on as a DJ. Known as a prodigy for winning 18+ dj competitions in the UK with fake ID. Ash has been featured on Radio 1 at the tender age of 16 alongside Fergie and Dave Pierce. During this time he also played at Newcastle superclub IKON to over 2500 people and all over the UK and now Europe. Age has never been a factor for him and 2008 saw him sailing his way into the production world with his first signing to Lyon Echo in NYC followed by the Definitive VOL 1 EP on Auryn Music and CAPTIVE on DBR. Ashley has had the support of most of the biggest names in HOUSE & TRANCE and is equally comfortable producing Prog, Electro, Trance, Vocal and Techno under no separate Alias. All but 2 releases have been in the top 30 in beatport prog and he has charted on too many playlists to mention. Always improving on the last and becoming very unpredictable Ashley is proud to be a son of all EDM music both as a dj and a producer. Look for him to surprise many this year and next and be the UK’s next big thing.
Ashley comes to us from sunny Stoke-on-Trent in England like Andy Moor with his own fusion of electro, trance, and progressive. Blasting in with his own EP, we’re sure to expect great things in the near future! Again this is another ES and London debut and one we wait for eagerly.
LIZZIE CURIOUS
One of the most popular Djs around and definitely at ES, Lizzie returns to us for her first ES gig since July after her summer in Ibiza where she had the privilege ( pardon the pun ) to be a weekly resident for Robbie Riviera’s Juicy night at Privilege. There she has continued to make a name for herself as one of the Uk’s top female Djs handing over the headphones to not only Robbie but also Marco V and Stonebridge to name a few. Many of the ES faithful will be eagerly awaiting this set, especially as Lizzie has managed to get her hands on some of the finest upfront tuneage possible over the summer. Don’t miss it !!
