Aloha,

Here you go my friends, something different from me….

This is not a promo mix and I’m not trying to generate work off the back of it, it’s simply a mid-tempo DJ mix.  I have been collecting tracks for a while that didn’t seem to fit anywhere in my sets, but that I really love, so I decided to put them into a mix in their own right… music with a late night, deep & sleazy electronic feel, full of atmosphere, with a splattering of dark funk thrown in. 

I’ve got plenty of brand new peak time releases coming shortly on my Lowering The Tone imprint, from Pook/ & Lola, Lee Coombs, Matt Goddard/Dopamine, Ben Coda, Carbon Kingdom and myself, but in the meantime welcome to the “Den Of Iniquity” :-)

Enjoy!!

Meat Katie & Elite Force - Lazer’ - Lowering The Tone 

Release notes:
The word ‘classic’ gets thrown around a lot these days, but in the case of ‘Lazer’ there is no debate. Originally released back in 2006 (Vinyl only) as the B-side of the duos ‘Divine’, a collaboration with legendary House vocalist Roland Clark, which at the time had a more commercial appeal, which went on to be a huge success. But for the real Tech-Funk/Breakbeat hardcore, Lazer’ was the reach for club weapon with it’s precision beats, grinding bass-line and a hook that would still be rattling around your head way after the haze and debauchery of the previous night had worn off. 

18yrs on year on, Mark (Meat Katie) & Simon (Elite Force) have had this underground gem re-mastered and is now available for the first time in digital form. I’m sure you will agree ‘Lazer’ has stood the test of time, and now a new generation of DJ’s, ravers & clubbers can have some new memories hearing this un-sung classic for the first time. 

Enjoy!

 POoK
The stuff of Norse folklore and with a brilliant mind undulled by over two decades of raving, despite his greatest efforts, POoK is as confident deploying bangers from his studio as he is storming dance floors with his inimitable mix of relentless beats and vivid melody.
 
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, Dino Audio 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.
 
Resident: Berlin-Brighton, Freebass, Sicknote.
Co-Promoter / Resident: SiZE – collaboration with Lola-DJ (@wearesize)
Radio: Codesouth (on hiatus after 10 year run, weekly residency)
