Egg London Podcast

Flashmob joined us on Friday 20th June and as a very special treat they performed an exclusive vinyl only set live on air.

The Brodanse lads stepped up in our studio ahead of the Danse Club Records showcase on Friday 13th June.

The Paris underground scene has given rise to some of the biggest names in dance music across the board; Daft Punk, Laurent Garnier, Dimitri From Paris, Ivan Smagghe, Jeremy Underground Paris and DJ Mehdi to name a few. Right at the top of this very talented pile lies Franck Roger, a man dedicated to old school house whilst still pushing things forward.

Circus curator, international DJ and in-form producer Yousef continues to make a strong, well earned impression with both his Liverpool and now London Circus events; hosting huge events with both current and forward-thinking lineups and surpassing all expectations both in the studio and behind the decks.

The next installment of the Egg London Podcast features two veterans who have been causing a stir once again recently.

With over 40 years experience in the music industry, Paul C and Paolo Martini have certainly been, seen and done it all. Joining forces in 2009, the Italian duo have worked tirelessly in the studio not only seeing their music supported by many of the industry’s biggest names, but also releasing on labels such as Hot Creations, Area Remote, Terminal M, 100% Pure, AMA Recordings, Great Stuff, Kiara Records and of course, Paul’s Boutique.

We caught up with them ahead of their gig at Egg London on Saturday 22nd February.

It’s a studio mix done with 2 CDJ Pioneer 2000. It includes some of our own exclusive stuff plus some great tracks by others artists that we really like at the moment

Usually Paul C starts to make some beats and a groove by himself as he’s very good on that and then we build it up the track together, choosing the main elements and all the rest to make sure the track works until we are both satisfied.... we care about all the details, as sometimes a very small element can be elaborated and became a successful main ingredient of the track, making it sound completely different. Today you can do miracles with the technology ... and yes we argue sometimes but at the end we always find a good compromise smiley

Yes it's true it was a great year for us ... quite a few good things happened, like when our track "We Repeat" on Cecille was chosen as the soundtrack for the official trailer of "Love Family Park 2013" or when "Spunk" on Material reach No. 2 on Beatport Tech house chart, the collaboration with Mousse T on Terminal M, not forgetting the massive support we had from a lot of big DJ's, thanks to all of them! And of course, being signed to Hot Creations was something really special to us.

Quite a lot of the tracks off our forthcoming EP on Hottrax always go down well, and a pair of remixes that we have just finished ...also there's a lot of good music around at the moment like the new single of Joyce Muniz - Back In The Days on Exploited and Tom Flynn - Hoochie on Hot Creations .... both of them are real bombs!

We really can't wait to come and play at the EGG on Saturday February 22nd…it’s our first gig together in London and we are very excited about that ....hope to see you all there!

With a career spanning well over a decade, Glimpse’ unique sound has shown both his versatility and creativity as a producer. His London roots shine through in his music, constantly pushing boundaries and exploring new ground, with his imaginative blend of house and techno winning support from the likes of Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin and Damian Lazarus.

With releases on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Aus Music, Leftroom, Planet E and his own imprint, Glimspe Recordings, he has consistently shown his ability as a forward-thinking producer.

Recent work has seen him branch out musically as one half of popular Hotflush duo, Dense & Pika, with numerous shows worldwide and a RA podcast already under their belt.

We sat down with Glimpse after his recent set here at Egg London.

The Flipside Sound system is absolutely incredible and easily one of the best sounds systems in London. It was really great to play on.

You go through ups and downs as a producer. Times when it feels easy and times when you feel like you don't know what your doing. My inspiration usually comes from the people around me and the music im listening to at the time.

I haven't had a chance to play on the new Roland kit but am interested to have a go for sure.

A friend of mine Dean Mushin sent him one of my demos and he signed it.

Me and Alex have been writing music of and on for 10 years now and it seemed like a logical step for both of us as our musical interests are very much aligned.

I've never liked sending my music to other labels maybe scared of rejection. This way I could release my music exactly how and when I wanted. We did the same with dense & pika at the beginning. Just put out a series of 12s and waited to see how they went. This way there is no hype and no bullshit. If the music isn't good enough it won't work. But if it does you know you have something solid and no one can control that apart from you.

Release wise I have a Glimpse EP coming out on Aus in a April, a dense & pike EP out in March on Hotflush and a dense & pika remix of Paul Woolfords 'Erotic Discourse' out in March as well.

Kris Wadsworth & Luke Viberts albums on Hypercolour are ridiculously good and worth buying on vinyl.

It’s time for podcast round three, and this time we’ve got someone very special to lay down a mix for us. Pirupa has spent four years grafting in the business, and in that small amount of time, his work has been found and picked up by some of the biggest names in the business. Having worked with everyone from Defected to Noir Music, in his second year in the game, this Italian scarlet was already one of Resident Advisor’s most charted artists of 2010. With tracks like Party Non Stop becoming a winter essential for any clued-up record collector, his mix for Egg was always bound to be something big.

Starting a new chapter in the history of one of London’s biggest venues is Kurv at Egg London on 31st January. A one stop showcase for the best in underground music. Kurv will show you Egg in a way you’ve never seen it before. Giving you a teaser is 50 Weapons very own PHON.O in this exclusive mix...

Now, as we approach the end of 2013, we’re stoked to be unveiling our shiny new Egg London Podcast series. This gives you, the discerning beat disciple, the opportunity to hear our sound wherever you may be in the world. Episode 1 comes from a bona fide legend in the scene, step up Visionquest and Desolat gal Cassy!  We caught up with Cassy for a quick-fire interview to pick her brains about the mix and her NYE performance here at Egg for The One.

1) Where, how and on what was the mix recorded?

It was specially recorded live from from residency at Output Club here in NYC.

2) What are your highlights from 2013 so far? Any stand out moments?

Stand out moments for me this year has to be the whole season in Ibiza. All my gigs were great and it felt so good living on the island for the summer.

3) On NYE you’ll be performing for the first time here at Egg alongside Circoloco favourite Tania Vulcano. You’ve also been a regular fixture at Circoloco over the years do you plan to bring some of that magic to London for The One’s NYE special?

I’m sure it’s going to be a very magical night and I’m very excited about being a part of it.

4) What can we expect from your set? Any secret weapons or unreleased cuts you plan to drop?

No secret weapons just me! I never know in advance what I will be playing. It’s about the moment, the atmosphere, the people and the vibe.  I will play the music I really really love.

5) Anything else you’d like to shout about?

My remix for Philippe Quenum is out now. It’s a remix I did for one of his tracks on his album ‘face to face’.  I’ve been playing it a lot lately.

Cassy will spin alongside Tania Vulcano, wAFF, Pirupa and a special guest headliner for The One’s NYE special here at Egg. Full event info and tickets can be found by clicking here - http://www.egglondon.net/portfolio-item/the-one-nye/
