Brighton Mixtapes

We're so excited to bring back our Brighton Mixtapes Series. Next up we bring you Brighton legend Brunonumerouno who cut his DJ’ing teeth on the South African clubbing scene. He first started spinning the wheels of steel way back in 1994 starting at private parties, as he was too young to land gigs in night clubs. He quickly developed a reputation for an impeccable taste in music as well flawless technical ability, able to respond to any crowds’ needs on any dance floor. 

Once he was old enough to start playing in clubs, raves and private after parties, he quickly started to establish residencies all around Johannesburg. In addition to the club residencies, he established his own regular Friday Night Deep House venue, the first in Johannesburg. In 1999 Brunonumerouno took the decision to move to the UK to broaden his horizons and pit himself against the finest DJ’ing talent around. He started playing at all sorts of nights in Brighton, establishing several residencies at reputable venues. He also secured a position at Covert Records, the south coast’s premier Techno, Deep House and Electro record shop. While there, he took it upon himself to learn from the best around, and be influenced by some of the finest talent in and around Brighton. Soon, he developed the same reputation as he had in South Africa for his fine taste in music. His sets are lively and energetic as well as proving to be the life of all parties he has played at. He also hosts a very popular weekly breakfast show on www.codesouth.fm, The Friday Wake & Bake every Friday morning. We linked up with Bruno to find out more.

Brighton Mixtapes - Brunonumerouno - Episode 010

Next up we bring you Darien J a producer, curator and mixer of deep atmospheric club music. He has a firm belief that dance music is for dancing not chin scratching, foot gazing, ego stroking or selfie taking. Darien constantly absorbs wide-ranging influences and like a musical sponge is wrung out on radio stations and dancefloors around the world.

Totally ignoring genre limitations he manages to combine elements from the deepest side of house, electronica and techno in both his DJ sets and productions.

Since his debut release of The Dubstar EP on Cubism Records in 2008 his skills in the studio have improved in equal but opposite measure. His latest releases can be described as sounding like ‘the abandoned love child of a twisted love triangle between Olivier Giacomotto, Stephan Bodzin and Solomon’. 

Over the last few years Darien’s music has found homes on trendy labels like Motek, Submarine Vibes, Inside Out and Chapter 24. 

Throughout 2021 he started to self-release one track every week that was made available free to fans who subscribe to his newsletter the week before general release.

We caught up with Darien to find out more.

Next up we welcome Chemz who started mixing in the midst of the pandemic and quickly started getting recognised in his local Brighton scene thanks to his regular live streams. His passion and dedication quickly granted him radio shows and gigs across his second hometown, where he started making a name for himself thanks to his energetic performances and groovy sounds.

This energy translated into Chemz becoming a resident at our Berlin-Brighton nights.

Next up we welcome the lovely and super talented MysD. Originally a performance artist, theatre director and dramatherapist, who turned her skills and energies into performing and hosting at festivals. Before she knew it she subsequently fell into DJing through sheer coincidence. During the pandemic she honed in on the craft and began playing on a local radio station which led to bookings at events across the UK. 

MysD, formerly Mysdeeque, discovered her passion for music at a warehouse in Oxford, wide eyed and bushy tailed dancing to Acid House in 1989. She became immersed in the free party scene and attended the likes of Spiral Tribe, Circus Warp, Bedlam and DIY parties all over the UK that paved an immersive way for a new cultural revolution that promoted freedom, diversity and unity. MysD has witnessed the underground scene with its genres develop over the past 30 years. 

MysD with her infectious passion has only one agenda when she’s DJing... to fill the dance floor with joy; curating a journey of connection and meaning with a sucker for atmospheric hardline drops. She is a multi-genre artist playing sounds that transcend across house and embraces melodic techno with always an ear for fusing music that spans the last thirty years and ahead. 

Expect big things this year as she completes her MA Music Entrepreneurship and continues to build events as a solo artist as well as with her collective ‘4totheFloor’. Let's find out more!

Next up we welcome one half of super duo Evil Nine AKA EVL TOM. Tom has been focusing his time on an eagerly awaited up and coming solo album, which has got us all at Berlin-Brighton HQ very excited. 

As a background, Evil Nine first came together in 1998 after meeting in Brighton. After sending in a demo cassette they were signed by Adam Freeland to his Marine Parade record label, with their first release being the single 'Less Stress'. According to Tom (in an interview given to Fabric Nightclub) part of the reason that their demo cassette tape was actually listened to rather than thrown away (by 1998 cassettes had become virtually obsolete in favour of CDs) was because of their friendship with Jemma Griffiths, who worked for Marine Parade at the time. 

After further single releases their debut album 'You Can Be Special Too' was released to critical acclaim in 2004, winning the breakspoll 2004 award for best album. The album featured collaborations with Aesop Rock and Juice Aleem, amongst others. The album track "Hired Goons" features in the video game Test Drive Unlimited.

In addition to their own material, Evil Nine has also released two albums for the Y4K and fabric mix series (see FabricLive.28), as well as producing remixes for dance artists including Adam Freeland, Timo Maas, Ils and UNKLE.

The pair has developed a reputation amongst both fans and critics as not being afraid to push the boundaries of what is considered breakbeat music, and tend to incorporate a multitude of styles into their DJ sets. An example of this is the track listing for Fabriclive 28, which includes artists as diverse as Simian Mobile Disco, Bodyrockers, Mystery Jets, and The Clash.

As well as regularly playing at various nightclubs both in the UK and Europe they have held residencies at Fabric Nightclub in London and Audio (now Patterns) in Brighton, as well as holding the position of 'Super-Residents' at Urban Gorilla in Sheffield.

Having met Tom many times across various decks and venues in our beloved city of Brighton, we thought it was about time we sat down together and chewed the fat about all the exciting things past, present and future. Here we go!

Next up we welcome one of Brighton's longest running DJs and Berlin-Brighton resident Matt POoK. Inhabiting a harmonic ecosystem from inception, he has spent a lifetime gathering inspiration from artists as diverse as: Hawkwind, Hendrix, King Kurt & Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns – and from genres ranging from punk, break beat, psychobilly and acid house.

With solid foundations hammered into the cold, dark, granite of the Welsh Mountain free party scene, his musical journey has seen him stick to roads less travelled and choose to remain in the darker realms of the sub-terra.

Initially concentrating on carving out his space as a DJ, organic growth from the 90s rave scene and through early progressive house - it was then that breaks became a real thing. Fully embroiled in the scene and never content to simply exist, it was during this time (circa 2000 onwards) that his much lauded brap.fm radio show “The Beatroute Sessions” received regular nominations for “Best Radio Show” at Breakspoll. With breaks his chosen rhythm for nearly a decade it was not until 2010 when he rediscovered techno and prog-house that his focus switched back to 4/4. It was with this move across to driving beats that also came the decision to hone his production skills – PS1 Music Maker made way for Logic which was then switched for Ableton and rather than selling his soul for quick fire success, spent time diligently putting in the hours to learn and craft the exceptional skills he holds today.

Now certain in his sound and ability to consistently deliver; initial releases including “Lola” (Dino Audio) have seen huge support from the likes of Dave Seaman, Davide Squillace, Aly & Fila, Paride Saraceni, Danny Tenaglia, Paco Osuna, Cid Inc, Solarstone, Soul Button and many more. Since then releases have come far and wide with a recent signing to Hollens label - Prospect Records plus EPs on Krafted, Nightshift as well as Meat Katie’s label Lowering The Tone Records.

To take things a step further, POoK has launched Red Giant Recordings which has seen a string of top ten releases and achieved a number one on Beatport in the techno charts.
With regular bookings across the UK and as a central figure in Brighton’s inspired, underground, electronic music scene; POoK is a rising star with sights, much like his beloved techno, set firmly on the future and all that his hard graft and undeniable talent will bring.

Since the success of our beloved Berlin Mixtapes Series, which has featured awesome guests so far, we felt there was a real gap in terms of showcasing the amazing talent within our own home city right here in Brighton. We have a wide spectrum of artists that span across many genres therefore we decided we would create the 'Brighton Mixtapes' Series, so that we can not only showcase established artists but also feature up and coming musicians that would like a platform to be heard.
 
Equally, whilst our focus at Berlin has always been somewhere between Deep House and Techno we can now open up and extend a wider reach into other genres that Brighton has to offer. Also each artist will be subject to a series of one answer quick-fire questions to accompany each guest mix to give readers a quirky insight into the artists' likes and dislikes.
