Gramrcy & John Loveless - Highdive, out now on Phantasy
https://lnk.to/GJLPH118

John Loveless is a DJ and writer, hailing from the North-West of England and based in Berlin, founder of Hot Concept, a series of parties and a digital label. Resident on Cashmere Radio and a creative force at Phantasy Sound.

Impulsively fascinated by music and culture since his teenage years, John Loveless has quietly earned a reputation as one of electronic music’s most devoted and unlikely characters. A sonically malleable club obsessive, Loveless is founder and resident DJ at the party and label Hot Concept, as well as a regular fixture at underground Berlin events such as Weeeirdos and Power Play. He has performed at clubs across Europe including The Warehouse Project, Ohm, XOYO, Soup Kitchen, Golden Pudel and The White Hotel, as well as the Manchester International Festival.

Initially founded in 2018 as a party series, Loveless’s label Hot Concept has quickly earned acclaim in fostering a community of independent minded but radically different artists. Each connected by leftfield perspectives on electronic music, it’s quickly expanding discography has included singles and albums courtesy of Bleaching Agent, Beigean, Pokies and Yr Lovely Dead Moon. 

Hot Concept also hosted Loveless’s first remix production, a collaboration with Gramrcy under the guise of ‘Gramrcy & Loveless’, providing an extension of Discovery Zone’s ‘Dance II’ in the generous mould of Francois K or Shep Pettibone. The pair continue to collaborate in similar spirit but always diverse sounds, providing thoughtful and floor-ready reworks for Ghost Culture, Galaxians and Shanti Celeste.

Since 2014, Loveless has been an increasingly influential creative force within Phantasy Sound, the London-based record label founded by Erol Alkan. In 2020, Loveless curated and mixed ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility’, a special mix and collection revisiting the label’s back catalogue as it approached 100 single releases. The release was reviewed as ‘Compilation of The Month’ in Groove Magazine, and featured as ‘Compilation of The Week’ on BBC Radio 6 Music.

Loveless has also presented one of the longest-running shows on Berlin’s community focused Cashmere Radio, ‘Display Resolution’. True to his open-minded musical endeavours, each show features forward-thinking selections, reissues and unexpected finds, as well as guest DJ sets and live performances from friends, allies and influences such as Daniel Avery, Justin Strauss, Josh Cheon, Fred P, Cormac, Karen Gwyer, African Acid is The Future and more.

As a writer and music journalist under the guise of ‘John Thorp’, John has written extensively about electronic music for a number of publications over the past decade, including The Guardian, Bandcamp, Mixmag and Beatportal. He maintains a long-form artist interview series, ‘The Forum’, for Phantasy Sound.

Matt Walsh’s inter­est in DJing and pro­duc­tion was fos­tered in the late 1990′s, while he was at uni­ver­si­ty and pro­gres­sive house was at its peak. Fast-for­ward a cou­ple of years, a new decade her­ald­ed the birth of Elec­tro­clash and with it DJ Hell’s Gigo­lo Records, City Rock­ers and Play­house. As Matt began to devel­op his trade­mark sound of mod­ern dis­co-infused elec­tron­ic house and tech­no, an offer of a res­i­den­cy at East London’s sem­i­nal T‑Bar club set off a chain of events that would lead to Tur­bo Record­ings don Tiga spot­ting him there in 2007. He then became a long term res­i­dent of Bugged Out! and Tur­bo and has since toured the globe alone and with oth­er artists.

Matt’s record label, Cloud­ed Vision Record­ings has seen releas­es from tal­ent from all cor­ners, includ­ing Red Axes, long term friend Daniel Avery and many more. His two mixed com­pi­la­tions “The Cloud­ed Vision Exper­i­ment” received crit­i­cal acclaim from Mix­mag, GQ and DJ Mag.

Since relo­cat­ing to Mar­gate in 2017, Matt has been busy opening The Tap Room and has trans­formed one of Margate’s secret spots into a boom­ing small bar, where you can expect to see local and trav­el­ling DJs play­ing every week, as well as a great mix of cock­tails and craft beer.



In 2023 Matt reignited his old clubnight "Movement" which was originally formed with Daniel Avery back in 2011. The new version is held quarterly at Faith In Strangers, Margate and the first three sold out parties have seen Erol Alkan, Daniel Avery , Optimo and Richard Fearless join Matt on the decks for the night. August will welcome Manfredas to Margate for the first time and some very exciting collaborations are to follow in 2025.

Sean Johnston has been DJ'ing since his formative years in the frozen North. Acid House Veteran, Techno Survivor, Hardway Bros, Beard Scientist and Freelance Disco Consultant he has played at some of London's landmark clubs including The Promised Land, Sabre Sonic, Club UK, Final Frontier, Disco Bloodbath and was one of the founding residents at London Super Club Cable. He also plays regularly at Voyage Voyage in up and coming Berlin venue Salon Zur Wilden Renate.
His productions, alongside fellow Hardway Bros, Jake Davies and a mysterious South Londoner known only as Rico have graced Sabres of Paradise, Third Mind, Flashcomm and more recently Beard Science, Pointless Edits, Aniligital, History Clock, Astrolab and cult Norwegian act Mungolian Jetset's label Luna Flicks. 
 
Sean's DJ'ing style described by FACT Magazine as "Future Disco" is hard to pin down to one convenient genre, taking in house, disco, re-edits, techno and frankly anything else that takes his fancy. 
 
Alongside Andrew Weatherall he runs and DJ's at A Love From Outer Space, a cult monthly residency at The Drop in North London. The night's manifesto is to never knowingly exceed 122bpm and is home to a multitude of genres including ambient, balearica, dub, krautrock, post punk, proto house, un-disco and other curiosities from the pair's extensive record collections.
