Woodhead  - Manuscript Mix - May 2023.WAV

Woodhead - Candy at The Beaumont

"A true west coast staple, Darren Woodhead has been holding down house vibes in Vancouver's underground for a while now. Woodhead first moved to the town of Nelson, BC during the mid-90s, before settling down closer to the Pacific. Known for his legendary Sauna Sessions parties, where folks dance in nothing but towels, Woodhead has built a name for himself as one of Vancouver's best for progressive four-to-the-floor beats. Woodhead aligns with some of Western Canada's finest such as Neighbour, Max Ulis, Jesse Bru, Ryan Wells, and Andy Clockwork.

In his NORTHMIX debut, he kicks off with some easy, soulful house, before elevating the sound to more techy terrain that really gets the dancefloor going. And it all comes together in the end, easing out on a euphoric note. Before heading out to your next party, be sure to put on this tasty sample of Vancity's underground.

Tracklist:

Woodhead - Call My Own
Jesse Bru - I'm One Of You
Secret Lover - Ready To Pop
Neighbour - Sizzle
Andy Clockwork - If You're So Inclined

WOODHEAD 
CLYPHS / Body Language 


It was actually a mobile sauna that brought Vancouverite Darren Woodhead to the attention of many in Western Canada’s dance music scene. Beginning in 2001 these weekly sauna-slash-DJ parties in East Vancouver became a cultural hub for a group of Vancouver creatives. The ensuing Podcast and events brought the sound of sauna to the world while the outdoor shower and thumping beats captured the attention of the neighbours. 

Woodhead's sets get better every year and are guaranteed to bring the vibe he is famous for. Who else can DJ in a 100 degree wooden box or battling 90km winds on Canada's rugged west coast? 

Woodhead's Call My Own out now on Royal Soul. New vinyl 12" and 12" compilation on Masterworks Music(UK), as well as new releases on MSLX, Sheppard Records and Substation Recordings xo
