High Tide Recordings Radio Show 001 -  Guest Mix from Collective State

High Tide is a collective of great friends, seasoned promoters and we like to think accomplished DJs!  We have regularly performed alongside our peers including the likes of Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, Groove Armada, Jamie Jones, Sasha, John Digweed, Joris Voorn, Hot Since 82, Steve Lawler, Skream, Annie Mac, Kolsch, Pete Tong and Dubfire to name but a few as well as locally based pals James Zabiela and Alan Fitzpatrick.  We’ve put on some cracking parties too, our most infamous being the High Tide Boat Parties from Southampton in the UK.

With an endearing love for electronic music and some positive traction from the producers within our ranks it has been a long time coming for High Tide Recordings.  We don’t give a flying f#*k about making money (lets hope we don’t lose too much though ☺), but if we get to release great underground dance music, educate ourselves in the process and have fun along the way we’ll be more than happy.

Collective States formed when two likeminded individuals crossed paths just as the club scene reached its first stratospheric peak and forged a union that has spanned the decades and seen them develop into a formidable chart-topping duo.
 
Their unmistakable melodic groove is the type that joyously infects your bones, it seeps in via an acid house influence accompanied by a bass that makes your blood bubble and there’s no escaping where their beats intend to lead you. The combined experience of two individually talented producers and performers is something most artistes can only aspire to and that enviable luxury has planted them in a position to create music that top labels can’t wait to get their hands on.
 
Collective States has featured on the world-renowned Knee Deep In Sound, Toolroom Records, Skint Records, We Are The Brave, Born Electric, 43 Degrees Records, HORIZN, Kenya Records and Perspectives Digital to name just a snap shot of imprints that have welcomed them with open arms. They are also regulars on Oliver Koletzki’s label ‘Stil vor Talent’, where they’ve racked up over 3 million combined streams of their knockout release ‘Kamino’ - the numbers only cement them as a failsafe production house that cannot be ignored. 
 
A quick scan of playlists from the industry’s biggest tastemakers—John Digweed, Hot Since 82, Joris Voorn, Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, and James Zabiela—confirms that Collective States’ productions are a staple in the sets of dance music’s elite. Few producers can rely on consistent support from the scene’s most influential figures, but for Collective States, it’s a given.
 
When it comes to remix duties they have had some of the biggest names come knocking. The heavyweight Dancefloor commanders such as Róisín Murphy, Carl Cox and Christopher Coe have handed over the parts to their iconic tracks and trusted Collective States to reshape and redeliver something uniquely electrifying. 
 
Beyond the studio, they are commanding dance floors across the globe, orchestrating the journey of their own label High Tide Recordings or masterminding Hide Tide club nights which will continue to go down in the history books as one of the longest running, most loyally supported nights on the south coast.
 
Collective States is a union that transcends; a harmonious creative powerhouse which uses their force and focus to determine their own reality - the ride is far from over.

Dancing without prejudice since 2008.

Stephen Knight has a great deal of his life so deeply entrenched in electronic music, that becoming a DJ seemed more like an inevitability than a hobby. Growing up in London on a strict diet of House music, he began frequenting Fabric, Turnmills and The Cross and immediately developed a strong affinity for legendary DJ John Digweed, as well as a host of other high pedigree DJs and producers such as Sister Bliss, Xpress 2 and Argentinian maestro Hernan Cattaneo.

After moving to Southampton in 2000, away from the bright lights of London, Stephen was surprised to discover a thriving and energetic house seen under the helm of Gary Bennetton. He began, as many do, from the bottom and worked his way up, starting as a flyer boy for Southampton’s longest running house night – “Release” and began to further shape himself as a DJ.

In 2008, Stephen joined High Tide and has since helped take a mainly boat party based event into the mainstream of Southampton’s nightlife, hosting parties with some of the worlds most renowned DJ’s, as well as many exciting up and comers. In 2012 when the house scene began its resurgence back into the hearts and minds of many, and began to captivate a generation, Stephen helped orchestrate some of the best events Southampton has ever seen, including the brave choice to hold an outdoor party in the relatively unknown Sobar – a party that has since become a right of initiation for many Southampton house heads.

Among his memorable moments, Stephen cites warming up for astronomical names such as Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, Sasha, Lee Foss, Scuba, James Lavelle and James Zabiela. Understandably so, with many of those names at the height of the game when it comes to electronic music. This kind of broad education has of course influenced Stephen a great deal – in his sets you can expect anything from stripped back, minimal groves to more melodic, uplifting and driving techno, the one certainty though, is that his set will leave you grooving away for as long as he decides.
