Discotech Podcast 32 | Rhythm Plate

Rhythm Plate consist of Ant Plate and Matt Rhythm, two friends who met at school through a mutual love of shoplifting and warm real ale. Plate constantly varies in age and Rhythm gets younger by the day.

Hailing from the beautifully backward peak district town of Matlock , in Derbyshire, they began recording their efforts on a borrowed 8-track tape player down in the local bus station. Early attempts at pop stardom, however, were hampered by the duo’s crippling tourette’s syndrome.

After conquering the bourgeoning village hall/pub scene in Matlock they set their sights on taking over the midlands through collaborations with Mantis (Derby), DiY and Winding Road (Nottingham), Flat & Round (Manchester) and Procreation (Birmingham) - they find the transpeak bus service a particularly useful way of getting to gigs - and then eventually the world, by releasing material on record labels “not from ’round ‘ere” such as San Diego’s Bluem, San Francisco’s Roam and Portland’s own, Losofono (LSF)and Lost My Dog.

At present Plate sells deep house insurance and Rhythm is a dancer. Should the need arise they are both willing to travel to DJing gigs with their much-sought-after collection of cassette singles at the ready.

Ceri.

Ceri has been making big waves across the scene recently, most notably her appearance this summer at Jamie Jones's legendary Paradise party at DC10 in Iibza. She also holds down a residency in London, at the capitals most forward thinking and respected after-hours; Jaded, where she regularly plays 8 and 9 hour sets combining all things house and techno. Over the years she has showcased her sound at a host of the world's most respected nights and venues. Clubs where reputations are solidified, DJs really make their names and only the strong survive such as; fabric's Saturday and Sunday night parties, Back To Basics in Leeds, Junk, Burning Man, The Treehouse Miami and many more.

Her rapid rise up the ranks is not just due to her prowess behind the turntables though... her work in the studio has seen her go from strength to strength. This month alone she is releasing on ViVa MUSIC and Suruba X. With past releases on Save You, Wiggle, Dilate and Hot Creations and many more. There's a deliciously dark, seductive element to her sound which, coupled with crisp percussion and funk-infused basslines, is a sound that has found favour not only with a ever-growing fanbase of partygoers, but with some of the electronic music world's most influential figureheads including plaudits from techno don Richie Hawtin.

Hector Moralez / LIVE @ STRKTURE 8.07.15

Its been a while since our last Discotech podcast. We're back with a mix very kindly donated to us by the one and only Hector Moralez.

Hectors ambitions began at an early age of 17, where he would spend hours practicing on his decks with the vinyl he had just worked hard for at the infamous Primal Records. The knowledge gained from his experiences at Primal together with a long list of friends and contacts, allowed Hector to develop what has become his resourceful and creative sound. Whether in the studio or, performing live behind the decks, Hectors love, passion and energy is clear to see. His sounds take influence from Latin, jazz, funk, hip hop and soul and are of course sewn together with his apparent grooving bass lines and solid fat beats.

Hector’s character, hard work and innovative ability has given him a prominent standing in the house music scene, leading him to become one of the most sought after artists. Also forming the production phenomenon's "Nickelz & Dimes, "Block Committee" & “Fries & Bridges”. Releases from Hector have enhanced highly respected labels such as Music For Freaks, Nightshift, Detour, Vista, Brique Rouge, Doubledown, Lowdown Music, and Robsoul. These popular works have lead to further demand with new releases due on Restricted Access, DJ Sneak Classics, Magnetic, Pacha Recordings. As well as managing and producing on his own distinguished underground labels, Minority Music & The Factory.

2013 saw the release of his highly anticipated debut album with Chris Carrier, on the acclaimed French imprint Apollonia. The LP spawned a new (live) show, a first for Hector. Pushing boundaries and creating a new sound, is taking his career to the next level.

Hector sets no boundaries as he expands the limits with his exceptional and versatile approach to producing and presenting his interpretation and version of house music. This attention to detail, evident in every beat, has led to acclaim from house music’s highest ranked artists "DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Doc Martin, Dan Ghenacia, Apollonia, Chris Carrier, Mark Farina, Diz and DJ Heather
