DJ Diz - UMC Set - May 9 2021

Kinky Movement @ Smokescreen Soundsystem The Hidden Warehouse Nottingham 3rd Feb 2024

At the turn of 1990s two acid house fiends, Alistair Cook and Dave Beer, started a night in their home city of Leeds in the north of England. With its punk rock attitude, Back To Basics was an instant success. Tragically, Alistair was killed in a car crash in March 1993 but Dave decided to carry the club night forwards in his great pal’s memory.

It was the friendly, community feeling and hedonistic aesthetic that made Basics one of the success stories of the 1990s. Musically, they were on-point: they gave UK debuts to US DJs such as Doc Martin, Derrick Carter and Francois K, early opportunities to Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx and Groove Armada, and helped nurture resident DJs such as Ralph Lawson, Denny, Paul Woolford, Tristan Da Cunha, James Holroyd, Huggy and Burnski. At the centre of the dancefloor madness was Dave Beer — the life and soul of the party, always thinking of others before himself.

Hosting a long-running party is a talent in itself. What a lot of people haven’t realised is that Dave, latterly, has become a great DJ himself, a surrealist painter of some repute, and has dabbled in producing music himself over the years — without ever releasing anything into the outside world. Until now.

2025 will see Dave release his debut album, preceded by a number of top-notch singles. First up comes ‘For The Beloved’, which features some amazing soulful vocals from Chicago house music legend Robert Owens, recorded when he stayed over in Leeds. 

The new year will also see the release of a film and a book about Dave. With his new wife Aimee, who he married at Glastonbury Festival, and legacy assured, everything was looking rosy for Dave. Until he was diagnosed with cancer.

As the cancer was cut out during an operation in early November, Dave had to be taken to intensive care to have a blood transfusion, but he rallied — it’s not the first time he’s diced so closely with death — and recovered in time for Back To Basics’s 33rd birthday party in Leeds in mid-November. And now it’s time to refocus on his art, putting himself squarely in the limelight to receive the plaudits he so heartily deserves.

One of dance music’s true characters, and a fighter, this music by Dave Beer demands to be heard. Proper underground house music with an acid house attitude, Jack Said What is delighted to welcome another legend into the fold.

Jack Said What co-founder Irvine Welsh has known Dave since the 90s, while Steve Mac and Dave Beer have also had long associations with the Basics man. When he said he wanted to send his album over, it was received at JSW HQ with some trepidation — in case it wasn’t up to scratch — but the guys needn’t have worried. The album is called ‘What Goes Around’, and a nice circular element to the relationship came when Jack Said What and Back To Basics jointly hosted a takeover of the main dance tent at Mucky Weekender in September 2024. Marshall Jefferson headlined, while Dave, Ralph Lawson and the whole JSW crew on deck duties made it a night to remember.

And now comes the music. First single ‘For The Beloved’ has several iterations and, in a few weeks time, will come with a remix by none other than house music pioneer Todd Terry, one of many US house DJs to frequent Basics over the years and leave with a lifetime of memories. It’s a corking first package, a fine way to kick off a priority album campaign for 2025.

To be a successful house music producer, you have to make tracks that DJs want to play. And, to be a good DJ, you have to play music that inspires people to move their asses. Simple in theory, but not in execution. Wally Callerio’s inherent ability to do both — and to do both well — has served him justly over the last two decades, establishing him as an artist with talent, vision and staying power in a genre that has navigated tumultuous highs, lows and growing pains in between. 

With over 20 years of experience behind the decks and in the studio under his belt, Callerio has put out a remarkable 250 original tracks and remixes on over 50 labels worldwide. Most recently, his music has been released on such respected heavyweights as Defected, Cajual, Farris Wheel Recordings, Grin Music and Sampled Recordings. In addition, Callerio has earned accolades under his alter ego moniker Poncho Warwick, consistently ranking as a top annual pick for best chillout artist on Beatport. 

In his role as Music Supervisor for “Unconscious Therapy,” a documentary released in April 2016 that chronicles the rise and evolution of house music via the lens of Frankie Knuckles and his fellow innovators, Callerio took on the crucial responsibility of​ ​ licensing and curating the film’s soundtrack.​ ​ He is also a featured artist in the documentary, alongside Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Masters at Work and a bevy of other house icons. 

Possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to embrace change, Callerio has earned and enjoyed enduring success as both an artist and label-owner. Los Angeles-based Dufflebag Recordings, which Callerio launched in 1998, has been churning out deep and funky grooves suffused with soulful vocals since its inception, and the label boasts an impressive roster of artists that includes Demarkus Lewis, Manjane, Alysha Kid, Corduroy Mavericks, JT Donaldson, Natural Rhythm, Ryan Truman and R&B legend Jon B. under his moniker Jah Ques. 

For Callerio, house music still holds just as much untapped potential as it did when he first cut his teeth on the genre in the early nineties — and he’s never been one to rest on his laurels when his passion is at stake and opportunity abounds. “I don’t try to predict the future of house, I try to give it my imagination and push with my music,” Callerio says. “I try to inspire people into making and playing the right stuff.” That drive and openness have kept Callerio prolific, relevant and on top of his game — and better still, are a promise of many good things yet to come.

J.Dub is a unique and edgy presence in the Chicago house music pantheon with years of touring and genre smashing production under his belt. He’s toured North America and Europe extensively as a headlining DJ and lead vocalist for Greenskeepers as well as holding multiple residencies at clubs in Chicago, LA, Toronto, and Vancouver.  Material at the legendary Shelter nightclub, regular appearances at Red Dog, Karma, RedNoFive, and notably his Sorted night alongside DJ Heather at the iconic Smart Bar all culminated in his eventual sets at London DJ institutions Ministry of Sound, The End, and Turnmills.  Shows at Toronto’s Industry nightclub propelled him into Canadian house scene leading to tours across the country. His classic mixtapes released by Canadian imprint Blu Funk Recordings solidified his status as an underground house standout and must see live performer.  “Love On The Line”, “Vagabond”, “We Just Won't Stop”, “Through All This Stuff”, “Back and Forth”, “Master of Time”,  “Deepest Trip” and “Too Cool To Dance” are just a few of the buzz worthy vocal projects released by dance/indie labels DFA, Smash Hit, Rockstar, GKM, Farris Wheel, Homecoming and new label home Exploited. During the summer of 2008, J.Dub joined James Curd and L.A. DJ/Musician Chris Holmes in forming electro/rock/rap group Science & Industry.   This multi-talented artist has had past projects remixed by the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Mark Farina, Stacy Pullen, 1200 Warriors, Chuck Love, JT Donaldson, Members Only, David Duriez and Jason Hodges. Vocal projects on Exploited Recordings with longtime collaborator James Curd opened new doors including extensive radio play in the states especially on L.A.’s globally recognized KCRW. J.Dub recently relocated to the City of Angels and has taken up the mantle of Label Manager for longtime friend and fellow Chicago expatriate Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio Recordings imprint.
