Luke Solomon is undeniably one of British house music’s unsung heroes, with an impressive track record of underground success. No one could debate Luke Solomon’s dance music credentials. From setting up the seminal label Classic Recordings with Derrick Carter to taking quirky house to the UK Top 10 and international charts, with his band Freaks, to DJing around the globe and performing live, Luke has been there for many of the more interesting 4/4 moments of the last decade. Along the way he has recorded for labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Rekids, Playhouse as well as his own Music for Freaks & Classic imprints.

De:bug Magazine Love...

2011-12-30T22:07:00.004Z

As 2011 comes to an end we squeeze one more review into Germanys Uber cool mag De:bug.

Our 6th entry into the Berlin based magazine this year.

For Our German speaking pals here it is, translation coming soon!

DE:BUG

"Immer noch gibt es in Belfast diese Schule unglaublicher Detroitproduzenten, und Samaan bringt hier mit drei Tracks alles auf den Punkt, was man sich von einer solchen EP erhofft. Treibend funkige Basslines, Oldschool-Drumpattern, warme Synthflächen und sich langsam über allem erhebende Melodien, die den Tracks noch mal eine weitere Dimension verleihen. Perfekt und in seiner Art diesmal keine Neuinterpretation dieses Sounds, sondern eine Fortführung, die genau da ansetzt, wo wir die besten Zeiten Detroits verlassen haben mögen. Der Mark-Broom-Remix wirkt da fast schon wie ein Fremdkörper aus einer anderen Zeit."

Yes indeed, I am long standing fan of Planet E's Vince Watson and it is super to be working with him next year as he is currently reworking samaan's next EP due out early 2012.

FBV002- Jan Tenner -blue vinyl

2011-11-01T11:45:00.007Z

What a first vinyl only release! We have had reviews from Mixmag, DJ Mag, Teshno, 4clubbers and all sorts. Also plays in Berghain and by Ed Davenport, Iron Curtis, kind words also from Agoria, Agnes, Paul Woolford, Slam, Hotchip, Vince Watson, Christopher Rau and many more uber cool artists.

With this first release out in most record stores either right now or shortly , we will soon be welcoming after some delay - the stock for fbv002,

Hamburg’s Jan Tenner makes his 2nd EP appearance following up the hugely successful ‘F.N.K EP’ from earlier this year with 2 original tracks of delightfully deep and tech inspired house. ‘Whatever’ has a wonderful techno inspired vibe to it, with it’s filtered stabs and gated riffs while ‘Piece of Cake’ journeys into deeper melodic territory with a track that draws on keys, horns and warm bass to create rich musical groove.

The first of the remixes comes from Swedish born, Berlin based producer ‬Hans Berg who gets to work on ‘Whatever’. Berg’s mix stays true to the original, keeping much of the feel and flow of Tenner’s production but adding his own style to the mix, bringing the stabs to the fore and creating a piece that has a real hypnotic vibe to it.

And finally we have a remix of ‘Piece of Cake’ from 20 year old Munich producer Henry Gilles. This is his third remix for fullbarr and on the strength of this you can see why he has become such a firm favourite of the label. Gilles takes the already deep and mesmerizing original and leads it even further underground with some superb production and edits creating a groove that has you hooked from the start.

Steve Bug - henry gilles cake taste the best!
Christopher Rau - full suport for my man jan tenner!!!!!
Ed Davenport - henry giles gives it some nice classic vibes. good quality, positive music all round
Jay Tripwire - Piece of Cake is my jam!

Martin Landsky - Hans Berg mix is my fav, but i like all tracks here...
Alex Arnout - The Henry Giles Remix is well good :)
Audiofly - Whatever original for me (ANt)
Oliver Deutschmann - cool ep. Original of whatever is great.
Midland - Liking the original and the Henry Giles remix! Cheers
Ben Sims feeling the henry giles remix of piece of cake, proper old man house deepness ;-) love the vinyl crackles

Heads Up

2011-07-22T14:52:00.006+01:00

I first really met these lads Hamish Cole,Jonny Sleight & Hugh Bailey at there wicked night the other month in Leeds, when they had Cottam at their Buttersideup shindig, Their warm-up for Cottam was the best set Ive heard in quite a while. plus they boys are from Norfolk and fly the Norwich Flag!

Anyway they have posted a mix up on the web which certainaly desevre's some attention, even perhaps a gathering. Get a nice chilled beverage and enjoy!!

Area (M50) on the mix

2011-07-19T12:31:00.003+01:00

Someone who Ive admired for a while and was very chuffed to get on the label in the early stages was Chicago's M50 aka Area, thought Id just pinch this quite trippy cool mix from his soundcloud. I believe it was a recent closing set at Modern Funk @ Podval

Also worth a check is his EP that was released on vinyl which including a really heavy mix from Brendon Moeller.

Matthias Vogt - Rudiments EP

2011-07-05T15:49:00.006+01:00

Matthias Vogt needs little introduction as an artist. Co-founder of Motorcitysoul he has recorded for the likes of Freerange, Simple and Tsuba whilst his solo productions have graced such labels as Saw and Urban Torque. He is a resident at Sven Vath’s Cocoon club in Frankfurt, travel the world as a DJ and when away from the hustle of electronic music he is an accomplished Jazz musician.

Vogt’s latest musical offering opens with title track ‘Ghost Train’, a deep and deliciously dubby slice of subtle and mesmerizing house music. Vogt’s musical and production abilities are very much on show here, with understated melodies and sublime audio layers creating a simply stunning piece music that is certain to work as well off the dancefloor as on.

Next up we have ‘Rudiments’, a classic slice of deep house with bubbling bass, jazz inspired percussion and intertwining keys and synths. This is quality, laid back house of a very high caliber as you would expect from such a producer.

The package is tied up by James Teej’s ‘Periodic Table rmx’ of ‘Rudiments’, which strips the original and takes the parts on a journey into dark electro tech inspired house. Teej’s mix has a perfect balance of deep edginess and musicality and provides an excellent accompaniment to the two originals.

Another great record from Matthias Vogt, another great remix from James Teej and another great release from Fullbarr, what more is there to say….

Samaan is let lose - FBD015 to Buy

2011-05-14T22:16:00.005+01:00

Great start to Samaan's production career, this great EP out now in all good online stores, super feedback and even some nice reviews so far, -

The release opens with title track ‘Navigator’, a deep and pulsing slice of hypnotic techno that draws you in with a tapestry of sounds, woven together with a refined precision that belies the artists tender years. Warm, rich and immersive this oozes quality.
Next up we have ‘Five’ which again ventures into deep techno territory in classic style. Layers of FX and stabs over rolling drums provide a perfect slice of late night action, Finally we go even deeper as M50 working under his Area moniker steps up to rework ‘Navigator’. Subtle, understated and powerful techno at it’s best.

IDJ Mag Review's April.

2011-04-13T01:32:00.005+01:00

Death On the Balcony & Ste Roberts - Emmanuelles Party EP

"If you dont know fullbarr digital yet, then your missing out on one of the finest deep labels around. Deep House? Deep techno? Who cares.. The bradford based imprintis on fire and lo-slun, dubbed out funk like this is reason why. Its your underground people... use it or lose it." 9/10 IDJ April'11

Gliesers - Kuiper Belt EP

"Fullbarr step up with some delectable dub techno business from Gliesers. Both original tracks are streamlined and elegiac in their execution, with 'Riverside' especially standing out as it builds into a piano-driven groover. Remix wise, Youandewan steal's the show with a shockingly goodcavernous dubstep mix" - IDJ April'11

poland calling.

2011-04-12T21:40:00.003+01:00

Having landed at Wroclaw Airport, and straight to the promoters house for a round of 5 shots of 50ml vodka... I quickly learnt this wasnt going to be a chilled affair!

Thanks to all the Wroclaw crew, Luz Radio, Das Local and clubbers for some awesome times and memories, will be back in June.....;)

Loads of pics to come here is just a few!!

Welcoming Samaan to the stable

2011-03-21T15:34:00.000Z

Ok this month we welcome to the plate another debut artist with two EPs already confirmed, the first out in April...

SAMAAN is very much a second generation house and techno head, having spent his childhood around two acid house uncles who frequented Belfast’s infamous Sugar Sweet in the late Eighties and David Holmes’ night’s in the nineties. It was through the discovery of said uncles dust covered vinyl collection that Samaan found his passion for electronic music and by the age of 19 he was co-promoting Belfast’s ‘One’ night and playing alongside the likes of Michael Mayer, Sascha Dive and The Wignomy Brothers to name but a few.

His latest mix up on soundcloud live from his night the other week,

ALso a little preview into his first Up coming EP with Fullbarr.

Amsterdam Trips

2011-03-10T20:01:00.001Z

Wow I must say Amsterdam is quite a city indeed! Firstly heading to the really cool studios of XT3 Techno Radio on the outskirts of the city where I played a 2 hour set live on air, very enjoyable indeed! Thanks to Maurits & James!

Listen again to the mix below;

Something else I must recommend is the young lass djing on the show before me Sandrien promoter of Imprint @ Trouw, really cool girl really cool sounds!

My debut in Amsterdam came at 10.30 in the Morning alongside Moscow's Archie Hamilton, in one of the coolest venues Ive been too,(A disused laughing gas factory) this illegal rave was already rammed to capacity, Thijs & TJ really had thing's well prepped respect to those guys indeed!! Looking forward to getting back.

Dropping Green Velvet - Flash in front of 400 mad dutch bastards in a disused laugh gas factory in Amsterdam at 10.30 am was definitely a result!

Next Up Poland with Huxley.

4clubbers.net review on Gliesers..

2011-03-01T14:40:00.001Z

"In a little over a dozen releases, Fullbarr Digital has admirably jostled its way to the front of the queue in the race to prove that not every digital label is simply putting out filler in a bid to plaster the electronic music scene with sub-standard tuneage. Having begun 2011 with the brilliant Emmanuelle’s Party Bucket EP from Death On The Balcony and Ste Roberts, Fullbarr looks east with an EP from Serbian pairing Gliesers. Milos Pavlovic and Nenad Petrovic have been putting in the hard yards back home, and offer a pair of stargazing tracks that form the basis of another solid release.

The title track is a slow-burning, hypnotic cut of deep techno that builds momentum with its gently expanding chords, firstly washing over the listener, then suddenly breaking out into shimmering melodies. Accompanying it, Riverside follows a similar path, with deep, reverb-drenched stabs, that slowly emerge from the mid-range to cascade over a military drum, a deft piano making an appearance to lend a wistful edge. There are two good remixes of Kupier Belt included: Echologist adds subtle percs and leans into heavier techno territory, while Youandewan’s deconstructs the 4/4 into a a swirl of reverb, chords and off-centre beats."

"For our latest single excursion, we have teamed up with Death on the Balcony duo Mark Caramelli and Paul Hargreaves who join forces with the superb Ste Roberts for an EP of quality deep house, backed with some top notch remixes. Death on the Balcony and their own Magicbag label have been one of 2010’s real success stories, drawing huge international support, whilst their own nights in Leeds and London have become a roaring success. Ste Roberts is one of the key figures behind the superb Hypercolour and Glass Table labels and is a much respected DJ and label A&R.

The ‘Emmanuelle’s Party EP’ is kicks off with the original version of ‘Emmanuelle’s Party Bucket’, a track named after the DOTB club night which bears the same moniker. The story goes that the name originally arose after a night the studio sampling a famous adult movie over a bucket of fried chicken! The track itself is a superb slice of deep and understated house, with a warm rolling bassline, sampled vocal edits and subtle layers of percussion, great stuff.

Next up comes the chunky and hypnotic ‘Parental Guidance’ which takes things into slightly techier territory whilst retaining the same depth and character of production. This is heads down, late night tackle that is bound to find favour at all good underground house clubs.

The rest of the EP provides 3 excellent remixes of ‘Emmanuelle’s Party Bucket’, the first from Archie Hamilton, who turns things acidic, the second from Henry Gilles, who provides some classic melodic house and finally Robert Cashin who delivers a sterling slice of underground house for the closing opus.

FBD012 - Jan Tenner F.N.K EP

Near the Harbour of Hamburg, Pedestrians look up to the window of Jan Tenner's Appartment building as the bassdrum rips through the walls.
Jan Tenner is at work. He has put down the headphones and like us all turns up the volume...

Hamburg based newcomer Jan Tenner dishes upsome lusciously deep chunky cuboid house for Fullbarr's latest outing. Consciousness presents us with a tight rhythmic percussive arrangement which is carried along on a bed of warm piano chords, and marrys in with some warped spoken word, bringing some strong overall sophisticated chicago flavours. great for warming up.

So strong ups the momentum a touch with a surging electronic synth pattern making up the leading hook. cushioned by a distant sad string pad and a soulful, this track captures an immense amount of emotion, and if used correctly, could mark a really special moment in a set.

Funk plunges even deeper, starting off with a nice low-end buzz which slowely evolve into some solemn organ chords, backed by a warped "get the fuck". As the track progresses, the leading hook is eventually overpowered by a high-pitched, yet soft drone of a siren, which brings the track to its climax. The drop is met by a substantially wide bass melody which provides that extra needed groove. Mystical.

Brendon Moeller's take on Funk is far more focussed on the dancefloor.. He provides a hypnotic shuffly swing-based percussion that rolls along nicely over the top of deep dubby chords. During the break, Moeller inserts plenty of signature glitchiness. perfect wonky early morning basement vibes.

Shinedoe -Consiousness paradice rmx and original, will play it...
Iron Curtis - 'hey guys, thanks for this! "Consciousness" is really nice aswell as the brendon moeller and henry gilles remixes. cheers johannes'
The Revenge - Feeling this - plays this weekend for sure. Thanks
6th Borough Project - Excellent package, all cuts nice on 1st few listens. Remixes sound dope also.
Kris Wadsworth - "Brendon's mix is tight. really digging it. like some 1940's ballroom on drugs. cool."
Terry Francis - - "track 3 for me.very nice"
Brothers' Vibe - "Nice man! DEF on the platter!"
Gwen Maze - amazingEP all originals and rmxs are good!! the Paradice rmx is sooo groovy love it
Ray Okpara -'henry giles rmx fro me greetz rayray'
Roberto Rodriguez - 'Very good release! All the tracks and mixes are really ace. But i think it was the Henry Gilles mix that stood out the most for me. Still i´ll be playing all of these!
Dinky - 'Nice realease , will play , thank you!"
Matthias Vogt- fulbarr back on the track. "consiousness" is the one for me - nice deepness in the original, harmony in paradice's mix, and henry gilles is killing it! will definetly play this one.
Phonogenic - "So Strong and Consciousness are both really nice deep jams. Paradice remix is a lovely afterhours thingy to boot."
Till Von Sein – "consiousness is cool..and the paradice rmx as well thx t"
Nils Nürnberg - "Really cool tracks here... I really like the Paradice remix and the original mix of 'Consciousness' - THX for sending this through! peace"
Huxley - 'really like the brendon moeller remix!
Emerson Todd - 'lovin the Brendon Moeller Remix.. class'
Afrilounge "F.N.K (Brendon Moeller Psychfuck mix)& Consciousness (Henry Gilles rmx) are ones for me... will play'

Via Istanbul

2010-10-21T15:27:00.000+01:00

Turkey isn’t often associated with underground music, I can only think of a couple of established artists on the scene right now indulging us with there productions worldwide.

However one very promising artist is arising from the capital Istanbul, in the shape of Henry Gilles, I first noticed the young man when he brought out his Crunchy fingers EP on Logo Tunisia Records. Since then we have him on board and he has produced 2 cracking remix efforts due out by the end of the year.

Watch out for more info/interview & Podcast from Henry.

Death On the Balcony.

2010-10-19T11:59:00.000+01:00

Fellow Leeds Resi's Paul & Mark aka Death On The Balcony first appeared on Fullbarr via their excellent Stay Remix way back this year.

The lads are back soon this time with a full EP alongside Hypercolour's Ste Roberts, also involved in this is Top Los Angeles party starters and Culprit guys Droog, Robert Cashin and Istanbul based newbie Henry Gilles.

However before that epic we wanted to bring you D.O.T.B's latest musical adventure for episode 77 of the infamous Soulclap Podcast.

The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast - 77

Also something else to chomp on from the lads is their new EP on very cool outfit Airdrop Records based in NYC.
It features 3 great cuts as well as a mix from Jozif, Well worth a punt!!

Amongst the haze of Coffee Shop's and Red Light District's

2010-10-15T14:12:00.000+01:00

.....Comes yet another label debut, this time for Dutch deep house new comer Helt.

Set Beat starts off with a simple yet effective groove. Some nice spread out synth stabs give a deep and deadly aura. Helt holds back and releases the clap really late on, getting the dance floor all pent up. Some liquid metal effects and a dark, eerie male vocal aptly season the track out with some subtle late-night flavour's

Mark Brooms interpretation takes things straight to the centre of the dance floor by creating a tight loopy beat to build on, steadily layering with warm organic rhythms and lazy hazy drones. A peaktime tool with plenty of backbone. Hypnotic.

Leeds A-list Techno party System residents Annie Errez and Bobby O'Donnell take the original record down a much darker path with a stripped back, trippy, late night groove. Electro-tinged blips float over gunky, lo-fi screw beats while warbling, palid vocals hover in the background. Wouldn't sound out of place in one of Magda's sets.

After Russo’s Wicked Debut EP Manitoba He takes us down a gear with his interpretation, adding depth with a crunchy low groove, swirling synths and moody melodies.

Archie Hamilton crafts a clinical deep house spin of the original,with some delicious acid undertones. Creating some ripples in London at the minute, he is definately one to watch for the future.

FBD010 - :Russo - Manitoba EP Released...

2010-09-05T15:48:00.000+01:00

Just out in the shops now is Sam Russo's hot tipped Manitoba EP, Recommended by Beatport as a must buy, and airplay on Legend's Xpress 2 Ministry of Sound Radio Show and the infamous DJ History Podcast.

‘Manitoba EP’ is the debut release from Sam Russo, a 23 year old emerging techno talent from Southend-on-Sea. Russo has been developing his own take on house and techno and his Dj abilities have been rewarded with a residency for Mr C, at his Superfreq night in Southampton as well as regular gigs at London venues such as SeOne, Pacha and the Aquarium, now it’s time for him to step up as a producer and show what he has to offer.

The EP kicks off with the original of ‘Fuck my MPC’, a deep and pulsating house cut built around tight beats, deep keys and some rather risqué spoken word vocals. First of the ‘Fuck my MPC’ remixes comes from Cecille and Tsuba artist Huxley who shows why he is such hot property at the moment with an incredible slow mo house reworking that is deep soulful house personified. Next up we have the uber talented engineer/producer/artist Saytek who takes a tough and hypnotic approach with his wonderful techy bass driven remix.

The two remixes of ‘Manitoba’ are supplied by Canadian electronic music hero Nitin who delivers a stripped yet wonderfully organic sounding slice of house and UK based dub techno producer Youandewan who turns in a truly sublime slice of deep and mesmeric tech house.

"It's all about the groove." Nils Anthes

2010-08-04T16:28:00.000+01:00

....With a broad background of electronic dance music from the early 90s till today Nils is one of this generation's young producers who grew up with the four to the floor beat.
Calling himself a music lover in the first place, the passion for the deep groove is reflected both in his dj-sets and productions.

While spinning records for about a decade his attempts on creating own tracks are quite new but none the less deliberated. His music is full of low-slung swinging grooves taking on a modern approach to real house music.

CHECK OUT this slightly older but very cool mix - and watch out for his remix of Hypercolour's Ste Roberts & Death on the Balcony's Parental Guidance

Fullbarr's man with the words Bruno Schmidt caught up with the excellent :Russo, Watch for his first release on fullbarr out soon the superb double tracked house ep backed up with 5 on the money remixes.

What was the music scene in southend like when you were growing up? What sorta stuff did you and your mates listen to before you caught the techno bug? Or were you listening to plastikman records age 8? 
- The music scene in Southend when I grew up was mainly hardhouse and trance and prior to that it was garage. I remember listening to a sun city tape pack that my older brother had in his collection this lead me onto purchasing some technics at the age of 12 and I started my vinyl collection of U.S House and Garage a lot of my school friends were into hip-hop and drum and bass. I was fortunate to have a great record shop not far from my house and knew the manager Norman H (StrippedMuzikclub) he was very influential to my track selections back then.  

How long have you been making tunes? You been busy in the studio recently?
- Not that long around 3 years or so, I regret not starting it at a younger age. I have been very busy working on a few different remixes for Fullbarr and Stripped Recordings and have just finished a downtempo E.P due for release on Stripped in August. I have also just started a collaboration with Huxley who is receiving big support from the heavyweights.

What do you produce on?
I use Logic 8 as my host then various Logic plugins and my favourite Rob Papen Albino 3
I also use Ableton live for various tasks when producing, I find sampling in Ableton is easier than logic.
I bought some Adam A7 monitors with the last bit of my student loan which has been my biggest investement the clarity is amazing.

When your in the studio making a track, have you got a set formula you usually work with, or an idea of a sound you wanna get? Or do you just let it flow...
I usually have some sort of idea but the ideas tend to change throughout the entire process. 

I was a bit of a garage head when i was younger! My parents also used to play alot of soul/motown/disco and early R&B when they partied. I like to think those early influences come through slightly when I play or produce. Does the music you make/play now reflect music you grew up listening to? 
I listened to a lot of garage and U.S house when I was younger my dad used to play soulful house from Octave One to Mike Dunn and a lot of reggae, I do think that it is evident from the style of my music although I like to think I have a new sound

Which artists/labels are really doing it for you right now? Whats at the front of your bag so to speak? Anyone you thinks gonna blow up in the next year or so? Where are we most likely to catch you spinning?
My favorite label is Kevin Griffiths Tsuba. Every release is exceptional, check out the new Huxley release ‘Get Your Own’ out now on Vinyl and Digital. Im really looking forward to the coming years and I think Huxley is the one to watch.
You can catch me playing at Circo Loco, Cocoon and Resident parties @ Junk (South Coast) Junk has the best sound system I have ever heard and has some of the best line ups, this club is certainly making a good name for itself in the house scene. I just secured a residency with House heavyweight brand Muak @ The Egg (London). You should also check out the What If? warehouse parties in London, these parties are amazing and are very exclusive with only 3 per year

Can you sum up one of your sets in three words?! Any words you like!
Deep groovy house  

What do you like to do when your not making music and Djing?\
When im not making music or DJing, I think about making music and DJing. Im an avid music collector both Vinyl and Digital formats so don’t have time for much else, I am studying a masters degree in Audio Engineering so I suppose that is my other hobby, world cup not for me im afraid.

Whats the funnest party you’ve played at/partied at recently?
The Circo Loco parties at Junk are the best I have played for the atmosphere is amazing and the people are sexy but then the warehouse parties share the same vibe, I like hedonistic parties, the relaxed atmosphere suits me.    

What do you hope to achieve by the end of 2010?
I would like to have many more solo releases and keep collaborating with artists, I have a lot in the pipeline with studio dates arranged with Saytek, Huxley and Eleven8 (Dubstep), I have some really exciting parties lined up with Junk night club (Southampton) so keep you eyes peeled.

Latest tracks by :Russo

FBD009 - Le Jockey - Perfect Cadence

2010-07-05T17:05:00.000+01:00

Le Jockey opens up this EP with aptly titled “Perfect Cadence”. Jockey, like with most of his releases moves away from convention and shows a strong sense of his own style, teaming the finer aspects minimal with groovy swing-house rhythms. The track gains momentum with layers upon layers of clever little glitches and one-shots, slowly and steadily building up a nice rhythmic groove. A trippy synth provides the main hook, which eventually strips down to the main break, leaving a epic, piercing single-note which Jockey has engineered to sound absolutely huge. Dark, but at the same time uplifting, this is proper hands-in-the-air afterparty territory.

Louche resident Josh Tweek provides the re-spin, treading more organic ground, but subtly works in all the warped glitchy goodness of the original. The more dancefloor friendly of the three, this builds its hook around a warm hypnotic melody and a nice tight percussion arrangement. A good tool for warming up the party.

Mein Frankfurter (Est Ein Chorizo Party) commences with a cadence (that word again) of resonating guitar chords coupled with the occasional deep bassy stab, which sets the scene accordingly. Again, big sounds from Jockey, low humming descending basslines and deep echoed vocals. A lot of emotion captured throughout, this track wouldn’t sound out of place in one of James Holden’s finer sets. One for the sunset.

Early support coming from Terry Francis, Archie Hamilton
Sebastian Roya,Timo Mass,Audiofly,Kabuto & Koji,James Teej,David Alvarado,

DJing has taken Carlo all over the UK and Europe; he has played in Italy, Ireland and Ibiza, and has had regular sets in Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester. Polaroid, Area 51, Sankeys, and Back to Basics are a small selection of clubs played.

Having entered the production side over 5 years ago, Carlo has had several releases. Alongside 'Euan Mitchell, '‘Together’, a deep house number released through white label in 2006 was hammered by the likes of Mark Farina, Lil Mark and Inland Knights. ‘Be There’ followed in 2007 on New York label Blunted Funk, this smooth, soulful, jacking house rocker would be right at home in a Mazi or Jay Tripwire set. Also in 2007 ‘Trust’ and ‘Talkin’ Dirty’ was then released as a 2 track EP released on the Italian label, Tokyo Red. In 2009 came the release of Carlo's version of ‘Airplay’ on Papstec, this was originally produced by The Nox and has had good reviews from the likes of Fergie. Now into 2010 Carlo’s latest release, ‘Capsized In Capri’ EP has been causing abit of a stir amongst some of the biggest deep/tech house heads. This is another great EP to come out of up and coming label from Poland, ‘Look Ahead Records’.

In 2007 Carlo came runner up in the IDJ Magazine ‘Raw Talent’ competition. Having entered the competition again in December 2008, Carlo won with his ‘Talk is Cheap’ mix. The judges gave rave reviews of the mix.

Introducing Saytek....

2010-06-09T19:17:00.001+01:00

Having just received a cracking remix from this lad on the forthcoming Russo EP, Fullbarr thought it best to let you have a look into his antics...

Saytek aka Joseph Keevill is a self confessed "Geek with a Passion" who was jamming with synths, drum machines and a Tandy mixer from the tender age of 8. Whilst other kids were collecting Star Wars toys, Saytek was dragging his mum around car boot sales looking for obsolete synths or creating sound warping algorithms on his commodore 64.
Saytek has been a major player in the scene for almost 10 but has just risen to underground hero status in recent years, releasing successful deep tech house and techno records since 2001 all of which have been met with critical acclaim, as well as being championed by the world’s most respected DJs. Fast forward 2010, Saytek is a live artist, an innovator and pioneer who brings real meaning to the term "Live" in electronic music arena.

Using Classic roland hardware, cutting edge 21st century computer technology and a myriad of noise mangling gadgets, Saytek creates & improvises on the fly. Not only is all the music his own but it is truly performed live in response to the crowd. His shows are so awe inspiring that he has been sited by both press and underground music fans as one of the best live acts to emerge in recent times. His reputation as a performer alone has earned him the place as headliner at some of Europe’s most highly regarded parties, an accolade shared only by the cream of underground house and techno talent.

His technical flare is coupled with fierce music integrity which has remained in tact since he was introduced and fell in love with Detroit techno and acid house at the age of 13. Saytek's style is deep, rolling, thoughtful and designed to rock the peak time dance floor. He combines the new house and techno phenomenon with elements of dub, soulful Detroit , chi-town beats, tribal percussive grooves, retro acid , Free jazz and Latin flavours to provide a unique and refreshing journey.

After incredible launch parties at both T Bar in London and Sankey’s in Manchester, Saytek’s 2nd album “Live from the Other Side” is now available on Channel Zoo records. Recorded live at The Zoo Project last Summer 2009 in front of thousands of Ibiza’s finest party people. Live from the Other Side caught a moment of musical history. The album is a follow up to his hugely successful "live From The seal Pit" recorded in 2008 an album that was one of the most popular CDs for sale in Ibiza in 2009. The new album is flying out to all corners of the world before the 2010 season has even begun.

Saytek will be releasing re-edits and remixes by top producers of
Saytek’s live material coming soon.

HELT@ XT3 Radio DinsDagDip 04-05-2010 by Helt

Some DJs and producers seem to suddenly appear from nowhere, exploding onto their respective scenes. That’s cool; the shock of the new is always an alluring and evocative sentiment within music. However, this isn’t the only method to employ when wanting to get noticed by the public. There’s also something to be said for developing your craft, biding your time, accumulating the knowledge needed to be a true sonic excavator. Whether by accident or design, Helt's musical emergence has been by the latter, far more scenic, path. As such, both his own productions and his experimental DJ sets are suffused with the very stuff of life: experience; depth and stuffed with music’s true elixer: Soul...

From the beginning Helt's own musical output has revolved around more than just functional club music, regardless of whether it’s on the turntables or in the studio. Combining subtle arrangements that ride the deep vibes that lie between House and Techno, yet never forgetting the drive for the dance floor - that is what Helt's music is all about. Working together with other artists is also very important to Helt. In the summer of 2009

Helt released his first track with a collaboration called Amsterdam Sound Exchange. It was released worldwide by Dance4Life with the likes of Gui Boratto, Isis, Arjuna Schiks, Jesse Voorn and Sandrien (To name but a few). At the moment Helt has a residency @ the monthly Klein & Fijn the Code 21 in Amsterdam and works on his solo debut. Expect very deep house and techno with a very funky minimalistic approach and bits of Jazz, World-Music and Soul.

fb006 12" Out Now....

2010-04-17T22:35:00.001+01:00

The debut Vinyl EP from Fullbarr is now out in the shops, from AREA, Includes some superb mixes from Legend Brendon Moeller & Davor.

Cellicos was originally conceived on a rainy day travelling southbound via rail, the melody interweaving with the rhythms of the train, different frequencies masked and accentuated by the wash of noise on the tracks, the interaction of interminable flow and unpredictability also a kind of reflection on the moment.

Brendon Moeller's funky reinterpretation focuses on the buoyant melodies, allowing each development of the tune to shine on its own, all held together by his trademark deep house swing.

Davor's menacing rework, by contrast, dwells in the subliminal textures and off-kilter rhythms of the original, tweaking them for the deepest late-night bass excursion.

Finally, Brasswork Agency reimagines the tune as a sleek, futuristic machine, gliding effortlessly along where it previously had moved with a grinding shuffle.

Support from.

FBD008 - Robert Cashin - Stay EP

2010-01-13T13:48:00.001Z

For Fullbarr 8 emergent Cardiff artist Robert Cashin offers us a tentative glimpse into his prodigious talents. Providing two raw slabs of modern house music and source material for a pair of intriguingly contrasting remixes, this EP is an authoritative take on both studio and dance floor dynamics.

Lead track Stay is a smooth aquatic number driven by a commanding sub bass line. With chunky drum programming stripped to its rawest elements, the 22-year-old Welshman allows the groove to naturally unfurl while subtly changing texture through rasping snares and tumbling congas. This skeletal percussive intensity has an intoxicating and gently commanding effect, making for a formidable dance floor weapon.

The Midnite Radio version retains the restraint of the original, extending it to over ten minutes of tense, tripped out action. Unhurried and expansive, the remix explores the possibilities of Stay, creating a flowing dynamic as the intensity rises and falls.

Death on the Balcony lighten things up, splicing up the main riff and allowing it to wind around organic drums. Retaining the hypnotic aura, they open up the track with breezy vocals and a cheeky live bass riff. Finding the perfect balance of quantized strut and loose instrumentation, their reworking brings something entirely new to the package yet stays true to Cashin’s original mesmeric intentions.

The EP is signed off in majestic style, drawing together the collective strengths of the package. Cashin’s confidence and ability are fully evident as Unvial Stars provides the stage for a multi layered attack of warm melody and spacious percussion. With precision and a natural groove, the track takes things deep, introducing new elements at every turn for a captivating yet unrelenting jam.

Oozing sophistication and strut, Robert Cashin has expertly unloaded his ideas into this package. Finely honed production skills and the ability to deploy elements for maximum effect place all four tracks in sharp dancefloor focus. The skills on show here should not be ignored, highlighting the depth of talent Fullbarr are nurturing.

clips to follow...

First digital of the year......

2010-01-08T17:23:00.001Z

Fullbarr Digital’s inaugural release of 2010 comes in the shape of an alliance between Back To The Future’s Dudley Strangeways and sOMbOM’s Retrac. Having gathered momentum in 2009 through harnessing the talents of Danton Eeprom and Mark Broom, the label return for with four devilishly enticing dance floor tracks from the explosive Anglo-Welsh pairing.

Retrac & Dudley Strangeways pour the depths of their hedonistic urges into Dum Drumb, a chaotic, street brawl of a track. Tumbling kicks are met with slapping snares and mashed up vocals that will lock the floor into a rhythmic frenzy. Wood blocks, congas and exploded toms crash together, only abating for the skanking breakdown that heightens the percussive onslaught. The A1 is stone wall dance floor madness, yet only scratches the surface of the ideas collected into this package.

The Midnite Radio Remix of Dum Drumb has a majestic chug that conjures an almost Middle Eastern aura. Melding sirens, highly-reverbed, gently-plucked-strings with bulbous percussion, the track has a reptilian like wind and strut to it. Highly textured yet spacious and kinetic this track has enough tricks up its’ sleeve to set a charged atmosphere yet keep the energy on the floor.

A deep and bouncy number, Hold Back’s serious chords are played off against jumpy drum programming for an energetic work out. Whispered vocals, questioning synths and deep lying washes of melody hint at Retrac’s Acid Casuals’ exploits but this is all about house music’s compulsive funk. The most direct cut on the EP, this is one for lighter moments when the energy is set high.

Dudley Strangeways & The Fizz top off the package The Stripper, an extended, tripped out voyage into the dark confines of unrequited love. The scene is set by perfectly deployed vocals creeping within the drums to creating a seductive rhythmic pattern. All is revealed at the breakdown when a familiar female refrain from a scorned conquest is drizzled over

Sessions #004 Bruno Schmidt

2009-11-09T14:59:00.000Z

This guy has only just turned 21 and has been mixing for a very short time.
He at the moment is studing at Leeds University but the cheeky chap orginally comes from cambridge.

After spinning at the last label party, I ask asked him to become a resident, after his superb warm-up act, and to be honest I havent seen any dj warm up like that for a while!!

please enjoy future hero Bruno Schmidt's first mix Cd.

Bopping down to Bradford

2009-11-04T20:49:00.000Z

Making the very short journey from HQ to The Mill in Bradford next Friday will be myself representing the fullbarr crew, alongside the bops lads and their great sound track.

It's my first time behind the decks here, but I have been known to fall round the DJ booth clutching a bottle of vodka. Much fun to be had indeed.

Update from HQ

2009-11-03T19:54:00.000Z

Well it’s been a busy few months at Fullbarr HQ.A
mongst the many of parties (Maybe to many parties) there has been a hive of exciting activity.

Firstly the very quirky but brilliant debut Ep from Johnny aka Le Jockey is finally out on Beatport with a superb future classic re rub of Tigger from Legend Mark Broom

I first heard Tigger & Estrella Blue when Johnny dropped it in a live set at The Junction in Cambridge and I can tell you it went off

Last week I was delighted to receive an email from Michel De Hey telling me that he had played tigger out on his great Hey Muzik radio show, I must say congratulations to him on becoming a dad. Also had some great feedback from Livio & Roby, Terry Francis, Nic Fanculli, Soulclap, Kris Wadsworth and many more inspiring acts

I’m also very excited about the release of fullbarrs very first vinyl release from our very talented good friend from Chicago now based in Berlin – Max aka m50/Area.

I shall keep you informed of this beautiful, release which will be accompanied by a remix from one of my favorite producers Brendon Moeller in the next coming weeks.

Midnite Radio - Lower Than EP

2009-10-13T11:29:00.000+01:00

The next digital release comes from our Preston favourite Midnite Radio. We have had "Lower Than" in the valuts for a while now but decided its time to get it out to the masses. As factory was a popular track when it was released back in jan 08 we have put it up again for all those beatporters as a bonus track. This had heavy support from the very talented Deepgroove boys.

On the remix is an accomplished producer and a genuine 'one to watch', Danton Eeprom his trademark sound appreciated by the best rated international djs and labels.
He just created his own imprint, Fondation Records, which will hopefully take his vision to new highs. We are very pleased to have his superb mix on the label thats for sure!!

have a sneaky listen below, feedback very much welcome @ djathurbarr@hotmail.co.uk
