GULP! - SEPTEMBER 23RD - PRE-ORDER NOW

https://sportsteam.lnk.to/GulpWE

Sports Team have been described as one of the most raucous, electrifying and chaotic acts in the UK. Coming up on the back of word of mouth live hype, drawing round the block queues to chaotic early gigs at The Five Bells and Moth Club before releasing any music - the band have consistently set themselves apart with their intoxicating ambition. Their Mercury Prize nominated debut album Deep Down Happy (released June 19th, 2020) delivered on all bold claims, and confirmed their place at the head of a group of young guitar acts. Documenting modern Britain in all its messy complexity, and their own lives as young tyros fine-tuning their plan to ravish the charts, their songs are both affectionate and disdainful - much like the band’s oft-cited folk hero John Betjeman, whose poems and documentaries poked around suburban habitats with appalled fascination. But it’s in the band’s dynamic and character where inspiration yields. Overhearing Sports Team in the pub is what you hear in the songs. An endless back-and-forth with no give or take; a succession of vivid snapshots of modern Britain and the follies, foibles and frustrations of youth. The band calls to mind a loving but fractious family, bickering one minute, weeping with laughter the next.

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.

Music was my first love and it will be my last.

Electronic music producer based in Kent, UK, Justin Lawson is rapidly gaining a following with his innovative mix of tech-house and melodic/progressive influences. Since debuting with his first singles in early 2019, he has been steadily building momentum, revealing his gift for hypnotic rhythms and memorable melodies on every new track. And while he has already become a fixture on the UK’s thriving scene, 2021 is set to be the year he reaches the global audience his music deserves. Justin Lawson is one of the most exciting independent artists going, and his journey is just getting started.

With infectious basslines, hypnotic drum patterns, and repetitive, groovy hooks archetypal of the
genre, English electronic producer Justin Lawson is bringing Tech House back into the limelight.
Drawing inspiration from techno icons like Carl Cox and Claude VonStroke, the Murston native
has been releasing his own brand of deep, loop-heavy music since 2014.
In that time Lawson has put out new tracks consistently, one of which is the April 2019
release “Beat Back”, released on Big Mama’s House records. With hooky vocal samples and a
ceaseless, driving bass synth, the song quickly became the artist’s most popular single to date.
With momentum on his side, Lawson started his own label - Murston Records - and released the
three-track EP “Mr Officer”, expanding on the sample-based vibes of his previous work.
Now, Justin Lawson wants to take his sound beyond the UK; aiming to tour his music at all of
the world’s electronic music hotspots, from Chicago to Ibiza.
