With his three track ‘Hustler Stomp’ release currently blazing hot on the I’m A House Gangster label, Sidney Charles drops by with an equally hot mix for the Gangstercast.  The mix features 80 minutes of Sidney’s trademark jacking, stomping and booty shaking house, just the way we love it at HG HQ.

Born as Sidney Charles Hurricane Vieljans in Hamburg, Germany, Sidney’s introduction to music was through the magic of two 1210s spinning Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Breakbeat and Turntablism, before transitioning to the faster BPMs of House and Techno and the culture which accompanied dance music.  Sidney is clear to state that he is not a musician, nor a percussionist, but a collector. A collector of culture and experiences.

Speaking of the I’m A House Gangster sound, Sidney comments, “It’s pumping, raw house, mainly influenced by funk and hip hop orientated samples. The sound represents a certain state of authenticity and realness. As the House Gangster style points out, House Music is not only music, its a way of thinking, acting and living. The attitude towards house music is the most important thing, that stands behind the whole House Gangster sound.”

EXPLOITED PODCAST #35: DJ Sneak

El Chino, better known as DJ/producer Ken Fan, joins the I’m A House Gangster camp bringing a fusion of organic sounds to the label, all underpinned by a classic jacking Chicago ethos.

‘I Won’t Fall’ is Ken’s first ever release under the El Chino moniker and he explains the story behind the EP, “I made my trax at home in Ibiza where Sneak used to come round for a quick joint and catch up.  A lot of the time I would be working on some beats and he would sometimes give me a couple of tips here and there, then I would give him some of the tests to try out at places like Pacha or Manchester’s Warehouse Project where I would hear the problems which I needed to rectify.”

Born in China and brought up in the UK, it was only after a five year spell in Ibiza for the renowned DJ and producer that the ‘El Chino’ name was truly born, when DJ Sneak gave it to him as a nickname.  From his formative years where he became an integral part of the UK scene through residencies for Birmingham based clubs Miss Moneypennys and Chuff Chuff, Ken Fan has gone on to tour the world and share the booth with the world’s A-list DJs.

Now, influenced by DJ Sneak and the House Gangster which he describes as “bumping, jacking, with large subby bass lines with some hip hop and latin influences”, El Chino is finally answering the problems he sees with the scene, as he explained when he recorded a mix for the Gangstercast series back in June, “I took a step back from DJing and producing for a short while to look at the scene from a different perspective, as it was soul destroying due to the fact that the industry is now unfortunately over saturated with fake ass talentless people who get paid a hell of a lot of money, who play shit music badly on laptops and too many of which cannot produce their own beats.”

"This is a live recording from Movement Turino Italy October 31st, 2015. This is a little bit more than half his set, in a tight room, Chicago boys representing that night, Me, Derrick and Marshall Jefferson. It's a great honor to have Derrick be a part of this series, he's been a great friend and a huge influence on my career. Very happy to be sharing this jacking jazzy groovy mix with you all!" - DJ Sneak
