The Move

We’re very excited to announce we have Space Terrace legend, Viva Warriors kingpin & all round DJ royalty Steve Lawler playing at Aynsley Mill!

Certain DJ have had a big impact on Stoke on Trent & none more than the mighty Steve Lawler!

Steve was a legend here in Stoke as far back as his Golden masterclass gigs at The Void where he cemented himself as one of the biggest UK DJs, then went on to become an absolute hero in Ibiza in the naughties by making the Space Terrace his own for years and thus becoming a huge worldwide guest DJ in every territory.

After this, his label Viva Music and his club events Viva Warriors became the go to brands for the quality sounds that everyone was clambering after and his labels music and club events came with the gold seal of approval.

Still with a heavy global touring schedule, we’re lucky to get Steve to fit us in his diary for a party this summer that should be one of the most exciting parties in Stoke this year!

Get your tickets and sunglasses and get ready for a special party indeed!

There’s a free afterparty at The Underground for everyone with an Aynsley Mill ticket!

The year is almost over so I thought I'd treat you all to one last upload in 2022. Here's the recording of my set from The Move's Boxing Day party with Darius Syrossian, I was lucky enough to open proceedings for this event and warm the venue up for one of my all time hero's. This set has over 2 hours of deep, funky & jackin grooves so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

See you all in the new year!!!

I'm not one for massive social media posts but sometimes certain things warrant one and this definitely does! 

My journey with The Move started over a decade ago a fresh faced 18 year old raver who saw himself as a bit of a DJ... 😂 My first experience came from the dancefloor and that's how it stayed for many years it gave me some of the best nights of my life and definitely pushed me on with my music! 

Fast forward a few years and after DJ'ing out locally on many different events an opportunity to take over the Room2 residency at The Move came about, of course being the young & hungry DJ I was saying no just wasn't an option and that was the moment I went from the dancefloor to becoming a resident. Alongside Mark & Marv we absolutely destroyed that box room in the mill on a monthly basis if you know you know kinda vibe... 😉 8 years later I'm still a resident I've seen many raving faces come and ago, I've seen the scene and music change however one thing that's always stayed the same is the vibe it's always been second to none! 

As soon as I heard about a special one off event remembering 12 years of Move classics I just had to be involved. What an honour it is to dig deep bringing back all those tunes and remembering some of the most legendary night’s experienced over the last decade in Stoke on Trent... ❤️

Easter Saturday is the date, The Sugarmaill is the venue, the tickets are below and to get you all in the mood I've dug deep to put this mix together its strictly Move Classics only... 🙌🏼 I don't think I've put a track in there past 2014 expect plenty more of these bombs on the night!!! 🔥

Aztec - CH3 7th Birthday Set (Re-Recorded)

Seeing as the next CH3 is just around the corner it seems like now is a good time to drop our extended set from their party last month! 

Myself and Nallo had never played together before this event but we've always been fans of each others sounds it was only a matter of time before we both joined forces behind a pair of CDJ's and the outcome was nothing short of sensational. The phrase 'take you on a journey' comes to mind as we dug deep playing records records that we've spun for years Deep, Tech, Uplifting and even a big of Garage for good measure we hope you enjoy as much as we did.

You can catch me and Nallo back in action next weekend at CH3's summer closing party tickets for the day and afters are available via the links below

CH3 Extended @ The Jug - Aztec B2B Nallo (10.08.24)

Co-founder of CNTRL Records. 

Growing up with a rich musical heritage it was almost destined that Aaron better known as Aztec would be involved in the music scene one day. An open lover of many different styles it’s Dance Music that’s always been closest to his heart, As a child he’d find himself having countless hours of joy listening to his parents cassette tapes. Being Dance Music lovers themselves he was exposed to everything the 90’s rave scene had to offer and It was these sounds that helped pave the way to what he plays today.

DJ’ing didn’t come around though till his mid teens but collecting music is something he’s always done with him having to spend most of his life dealing with the passing of his father. Music was the way he escaped from the harsh realities life had offered up for him, As he approached the age of 16 it was then when the decision was made to take all his musical knowledge and passion one step further by taking up the art of DJ’ing. In the early days Aaron mastered his mixing skills playing a selection of different genres until mid 2012 when he heard “Hot Natured - Forward Motion” for the first time, It was that moment his arm hairs stood up and he knew House Music was what he wanted to play since that day he’s never looked back. 

Fast forward to the modern day and Aztec has earned the right to support and play on events hosting some of the best House & Techno DJ’s the world has to offer. With sets on global brands Defected & Do Not Sleep you can now see him holding a residency at The Move one of the Midlands premier nights. Aaron is also heavily involved in Freakshow a brand new night which has a target of becoming a major force in his local city of Stoke-on-Trent. His goals for the future will see him being involved in the studio a lot more while also continuing to grow his label.
