A child of the London acid-house explosion, British-born DJ and producer Dave Angel has been responsible for an astonishing amount of music over the years. Dave's journey, since his first foray in production with his 'Nightmare Remix' of Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams', has been an enviable one. The son of a jazz musician, Angel's roots are in bebop and modern jazz as much as in the Detroit-styled techno he has famously helped to pioneer.

His back catalogue is littered with singles, EPs and remixes on some of music’s most esteemed record labels that include Polydor/Love, OuterRythm, Fnac, React Records, Island, R+S and Outrage imprints, and now he finds himself launching a new chapter in his career, releasing tracks on Bedrock and Crosstown Rebels.Responsible for the formation of one of the scene's most important imprints, Rotation Records, not only served as a platform for Dave's own exquisite work but was paramount to the beginnings of many careers: Adam Beyer, Christian Smith, Deetron, Vince Watson, Laidback Luke, The Advent, Jamie Anderson, Bryan Zentz, Steve Rachmad and Misstress Barbara amongst many, all cut their earliest grooves on the label and each helped to define Rotation as both a purveyor for new sounds and new talent.

Now, his sights are set on the future, busily crafting a slew of cuts that are set to take this year by storm. And in a very special treat, Dave Angel has mixed the very first Balance Selections podcast for 2015.

Balance Selections 007: Dave Angel

A live recording from Room 2 where seasoned selector Ceri took us on a considered, raw and emotive journey through Detroit inspired music.

Fitting, as she returns to Room One this Saturday alongside Detroit's very own Carl Craig.

“Detroit is very important to Dance Music, so I wanted to honour the roots of Techno for this set, featuring music either from Detroit itself, or by other artists I love whose music sounds influenced by the raw and soulful essence of Detroit Techno that I love.

It's really important, at a time when 'techno' has become hard, fast and soulless (in some parts of the industry), to also show that it has a softer and soulful side too, whilst still being phat and raw, a sound that originated in Detroit, and influences so much music to this day. It's really important to understand the history of Detroit and its part within Dance Music's history.” - Ceri

Laurent Garnier ist nicht nur der dritte Pariser, der Ramona in diesem Monat beehrt, sondern auch der – mit Verlaub – sagenhafteste. Im Manchester der späten Achtziger hat es den begeisterten Musikliebhaber und damaligen Gastronomie-Azubi per Zufall hinter die Plattenteller eines namenslosen Clubs verschlagen, wo er den Hunger der anwesenden Meute mit allerlei Gedöns zwischen Abba und Zappa stillen musste. Nachdem er sich dort die Hörner abgestoßen hatte, folgte der nächste Club mit besserem Musikprogramm und auch heute noch klingendem Namen.
In der Hacienda durfte Garnier neben Mike Pickering und Graeme Park an dem Soundtrack einer Stadt Teil haben, die zwischen New Order und den Happy Mondays schlichtweg in afroamerikanische Tanzmusik verliebt war. So drehten die überspannten Clubkids umhüllt von der schwarz-gelben Nuklearästhetik des Clubs, Woche für Woche Pirouetten zu Songs von Carly Simon, Jomanda, oder dem FPI Project und Tracks von Adonis, Derrick May und DJ Pierre.
Zurück in Paris und derart geschult, wollte Laurent Garnier auch Frankreich den „Summer Of Love“ bringen. Einem Club namens „Wake Up“ und seinem nicht zu bremsenden Enthusiasmus sei Dank, sollte er nicht nur dieses Vorhaben in die Tat umsetzen, sondern auf dem Label FNAC bzw. F-Com Platten veröffentlichen, Techno in Frankreich installieren, mit seinem Plattenkoffer durch die Welt reisen und schließlich mit „Electrochoc“ ein Buch veröffentlichen, von dem sich einige DJ-Autoren ein Scheibchen abschneiden könnten. Eine der letzten wirklich großen DJ-Figuren unserer Zeit, dabei grundsympathisch und zwischen Techno und King Tubby auch noch musikalisch versiert wie kaum ein zweiter DJ. Was für ein homme du métier!

Laurent Garnier Live @ Robert Johnson, 26.10.2005 (7.5 hrs!)

Michael Mayer and German techno go hand in hand. In the late 90s Mayer became one of the co-founders of Kompakt, the Cologne institution that’s widely regarded as one of the world’s most important techno labels.

Outside of his quintessential imprint he’s also earned his stripes as a DJ, with an ear for melody and a flair for extended marathon sets helping to define his 20-year career.

He’s also been a staple of Farringdon history, with his Room One appearances dating back as early as 2003 and a legendary edition in our mix series. Mayer has played the club over 20 times since then, but one of the most memorable remains his Room One set from back in April 2012.

Closing out the room after a set of wizardry from Craig Richards, Mayer stepped up to deliver 3.5 hours of the warm, luscious house that’s been at the heart of his 20-year career.

With his return to Room One happening just a few days from now, we dug through our archives to find Mayer’s set from that night to share here in anticipation.

Murf 5.5 hour set part 2.
"Murf is a legend in London but barely known globally. A music buyer for record shops & a human house & techno encyclopedia, Murf is easily my favourite DJ in the world. We lived on the same small street in our late teens & he went on to become resident DJ of Subterrain at The End. Both his solo & our back to back sets are that of London rave folklore. Enjoy 6 hours of excellence. I love Murf." - Mr.C
