MATTER
Friday 30th January 2009:
MN2S have been holding events in London for the last 14 years and it is with this experience we make our debut at London’s newest and most talked about venue, matter. Situated in Greenwich, as part of the recently developed O2, matter is a 2600 capacity multi-roomed venue designed for large scale events. Owned by Fabric, matter is committed to innovation with a passionate and eclectic music policy; it is with this philosophy that we move comfortably from our 9 year residency at The End towards this exciting new venture.
Headlining the party we have a special 3 hour set from the Dutch supremo Fedde Le Grand. Responsible for the club banger ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit!’ and summer anthem ‘The Creeps’, Fedde’s production skills have seen him achieve record music sales and a host of awards culminating with reaching #29 at this years DJ Mag Top 100. On a roll Fedde’s collaboration with Ida Corr earlier this year took no prisoners, storming straight into the charts at #2. Fedde continually tours world wide and his DJ sets and music productions contain energetic house music with an acoustic touch and electro influences while maintaining his underground roots. Le Grand has already become one of the most requested DJs in the world so we are pleased to have secured his services for what will be a rare London performance.
Sharing the bill with Fedde we have DJ & producer Martin Solveig. Having scored a wealth of club hits such as his productions’Rocking Music’, ‘Jealousy’ & ‘Everybody’ and with Fedde’s remix of ‘C’est La Vie’; it’s safe to say that Martin Solveig is a stellar producer & song writer. With a reputation for tearing up clubs all over the world we’re expecting a show stopping set from the French legend! In addition Joey Negro will be performing in matter’s Main Room and with deep house in mind he has a special Akabu set planned.
Taking over room two is MN2S’s sister label 1TRAX who have been pushing the boundaries of underground house with a host of recent releases. To date they have released tracks from big hitters like Todd Terry, Bart B More plus new comers such as Germany’s rising star Nils Nurnberg and the incredible Maya Jane Cole who’s remix of Todd terry’s ‘Uncle Tech’ has been released to great reactions. With exclusive signings 1TRAX has programmed room 2 to offer a sound track of deep house with a techno influence. The line up on the night will be label artists Tiger Stripes, Maya Jane Coles, Hauswerks & Daley Padley. An exceptional line up in both rooms show casing the best in today’s house music.

The Retro Sonics launch party
Launch Party, 31st January….
The Retro Sonics launch party promise to be something special, with LIVE PAs from two of the forerunners of the early rave scene.
Shades of Rhythm
With early rave classics such as “Sounds of Eden” and “Exstacy” Shades of Rhythm were an integral part of the emerging dance music scene in the early 90’s. Nearly 20 years later their music still sounds fresh today, and the boys will be performing LIVE as well as spinning some of their favourite vinyl for us!
Retro Sonics is a new London based night dedicated to exploring the origins of house music. Brought to you by DJ Kid Fiesta (AKA Franc Gooding – one of the brains behind Bloom Festival) Retro Sonics promise to bring something special to the Capital in 2009. Something which has been missing, but has been there all along gathering dust on peoples record shelves – a top quality night which celebrates early house music on a regular basis. Retro Sonics aims to rekindle the true essence of house music and recreate the intimate, underground atmosphere of the late eighties / early nineties which turned clubbing upsidedown and set the foundations for the dance music scene as we know it today. A gathering which will appeal to the original house heads who were there, as well as the newbies who might have been a been a bit too young at the time.
House is a feeling!
Steve Proctor (Shoom)
Steve (along side Danny Rampling) was one of the original resident DJs at London’s pioneering underground house night Shoom – widely regarded as the FIRST real house music night in the UK. Steve has been out of the scene for a few years but is back to dust off his record collection especially for Retro Sonics, and we are chuffed to pieces that he’s agreed to be a resident at Retro Sonics!
Terry Farley (Boys Own / Faith)
Terry’s “Boy’s Own” parties were a must on the London clubbing scene in the early nineties, and spawned the Junior Boy’s Own record label famed for bringing both Underworld and Xpress2 to the fore. Also a talented producer in his own right, Terry had a club smash with driving house anthem “Ultra Flava” and has handed his midas touch to a variety of artists including Primal Scream, Happy Mondays, New Order and the Pet Shop Boys.
