Grey Matter 01 // Launch Mix //Tadgh Cronin

To celebrate the launch of Grey Matter we are kicking off a mix series on our SoundCloud. The series will include guest mixes from the artists playing on the night, starting with Grey Matter 01. This will provide a platform to showcase the different sounds and styles to expect from the line-up. 

We jumped straight into this mix starting at a high tempo which we pushed throughout. Incorporating tech and deeper minimal sounds we curated a short 30 minute set, with the dancefloor on the 25th in mind.

Next up on the bill is HOT2, coming off the back of their successful debut show in the Soundhouse. For this mix the pair put together a 30 minute selection, showcasing their finest blends of tech and vocal driven house. Their sound is tailored to the dancefloor, facilitating for all tastes. Expect high energy rollers from the lads on the night.

With years of experience being punters on the dancefloor, their passion for music has grown and evolved. The lads are now hot off the block and we are expecting a big year ahead for them.

Here’s a few words from the duo below:

“With the mates that we have, a few of them well known DJs and producers already, it was sort’ve inevitable that we’d end up DJing ourselves! Now we’re looking forward to seeing where it goes and enjoying it as we do”

Grey Matter 01 // Launch Mix // Murka

Closing out the terrace this Saturday is Murka. Expect deeper minimal cuts and flavours for this set as Murka takes a dive under the surface of the minimal genre exposing more submerged rhythms and tracks. Murka is familiar with the scene having played shows across dublin including a live set in the button factory. Based in Berlin for many years, its clear to see that this has influenced his musical taste and selections while also peppering in some of his own productions.

For this mix he sticks to the same principles and provides a sample of his deeper tendencies and rominimal influences complete with robust basslines and hypnotic synths and pads. He keeps to the same style for the duration of this mix making for a smooth hour of listening. We are buzzing to have Murka back behind the controls and it will be a real treat to see him close out the terrace party.

Grey Matter 01 // Launch Mix // Buckley 

Kicking off terrace proceedings this Saturday is Buckley. He has been immersed in club culture for years now, living abroad in different cities exposing him to different strains of club culture. After many years honing his style and technical skills, he decided to push himself to make his first club appearance. Expect house,deep house and minimal from the get-go. Here’s a quote from the man himself: 

"Me and lads go way back. Im delighted to be given the opportunity to play at Grey Matter 01, really looking forward to saturday, good energy with good people" 

For this mix he lays down some smooth minimal house tracks accompianed by disco inspired groves. This makes for 50 minutes of selections filled with clean transitions and feel good house rhythms. Buckley plants in an assortment of well recognisable tracks with the aim to get the crowd moving on the night.

We look forward to him pressing play and kicking off the party this Saturday.

Groove Central // Guest Mix // Jack Whelan

For this mix we kept the District Rooftop in mind, opening up with our best deep house selects. Understanding the art of the warm-up set, we kicked off at 120 BPM, increasing the tempo as we progressed into the minimal side of the genre, exposing what the deep-tech scene has to offer.

Throughout this session we showcase some of our favourite artists, new and old. ‘So Fine’ by Daniel Leseman, was a foundational track for our love of deep house, and slotted straight into the vibe we tried to capture. Roland Nights featured ‘Chicago Soul’ and Ben Watts' all time classic ‘Lone Cat’ brought the vibes deep into the mix. 

Bruno Bar, a DJ/producer from Brooklyn, NY is an artist we feel is flying the flag high for Deep House in 2023, and we selected ‘Stop’ from his stacked Discography. Emerging talent Jerome Six represented the best of minimal/deep-tech with his bomb edit of J-Hus - ‘Who Told you’.

We are delighted to take part in this mix competition, for an opportunity to play on the Cardiff Rooftop B2b with the Wizard, Lucas Alexander.
