Alex Arnout (Dogmatic / Hot Creations)

Alex Arnout is a slow burning star with over 20 years experience behind him. Having started his DJ career in Spain, and in the humble surroundings of many a local bar, the nineties were spent learning the basic skills so often lacking in today’s break-through ‘DJs’. Eventually catching the ear of someone that mattered, Arnout began playing more familiar outposts like DC: 10 and Pin Up in Ibiza, Dance Valley in Amsterdam and Circo Loco in London, for whom he has been resident for the last few years. On top of that, his finely sequenced journeys through all things house have also won him a residency at London’s definitive Sunday session, Fuse, as well as gigs at fabric.

A pure passion for 4/4 (which has been burning ever since first hearing House Sounds of Chicago albums in the mid eighties) naturally lead Alex to begin experimenting with his beloved sound in the studio. Over the course of the last decade, the fruits of said labours have been bountiful: there have been releases alongside Daz I Kue from Bugs in the Attic; with an old school friend by the name of Leiam Sullivan as Ceramix (with whom he remixed Peace Division and Low End Specialists and earned a No.1 on Pete Tong’s Essential Buzz chart with ‘Can You Dance?’) and more recently under his given name on Adam Shelton and Subb-an’s fast-rising Brum label, One Records. The track was ‘Vanishing Point’ – a prowling deep house record lapped up by the likes of Visionquest that is indicative of his analogue aesthetic overall.

Aiming simply to “make great music”, there have also been collabs with Jamie Jones and Clive Henry for the hotter-than-hot Hot Waves crew, whilst EPs for Composite and Vitalik and another collaborative effort with Clive – this time as Black to The Future – have also been confirmed and can be added to the myriad Arnout reworks included on the recent Rebel Rave compilation on Crosstown Rebels.

Geddes (Murmur / Mulletover)

Geddes is one of the true pioneers of the London house scene. Among those ahead of the game when it came to the fragmentation of the super club and the dawn of a new warehouse era, Geddes and his mulletover party crew were integral in the rise of the underground and have helped shape the heart of its landscape and sound in the capital and beyond. When he started the now prolific mulletover events back in 2004, it was through grit and determination and an enduring love for exploring and championing the freshest talent and securing original spaces that Geddes became a figurehead in the evolution of a thriving house and techno scene.

Since then, Geddes has turned his attention to a number of creative projects including the launch of his own label, murmur and offshoot party venture nofitstate. In the three years since murmur was born, the imprint has become synonymous with the kind of homegrown talent that embodies the underground events Geddes curates. With a back catalogue of authentic deep house from a family of quality artists, it has a real community feel at its centre and continues to join the dots from innovative production to live experience.

The amalgamation of murmur and nofitstate recently came to fruition with a first compilation CD that showcases a collection of current and future productions, handpicked and mixed by Geddes along with a bonus live disc from murmur mainstay Tom Demac. Inspired to do the mix by the disposable trend in modern dance music, Geddes set out to highlight and support music that isn’t all new but undoubtedly timeless, and the conception garnered the label numerous accolades in the press during it’s release earlier this year.

Geddes embarked on his journey into production under the Rekleiner guise alongside Anthony Middleton and Luca Saporito in 2006 and has subsequently been responsible for a string of remixes and solo work as well as collaborations with producers Mic Newman and Alex Jones. In the pipeline are a couple of fresh remix projects for Kolour Recordings and Leftroom, plus a new meeting of minds with Matt Tolfrey for an EP on air london. The future will also see nofitstate joining forces with another well-loved underground institution electric minds in Electric State. After the winning combination took effect in an NYE & NYD 2011 marathon, a joint party was the natural progression.

Born and raised in London, Stuart Geddes cultivated a belief and desire to inject freshness into his surroundings and succeed he did. Now having celebrated mulletover’s 7th birthday, the party has gained unrivalled success and remains at the heart of the London scene. Attracting over 2000 people to their monthly staged events in rotating secret locations and hosting their own stages at festivals such as Lovebox, Glade, Garden Festival in Croatia, transporting revellers to boats, forests, beaches, lighthouses and warehouses across the world.

With an ever-evolving creativity and ability to move with the times, not to mention the support and love from a tight community of music fans and artists alike, the omnipresence of Geddes and his contribution to underground London may endure for many years to come.

Lee Brinx (Lower East / Hot Waves)

Lee’s an eighties child and his interest in music started at a young age growing up to his parents soundtrack of Motown, Soul and Rare Groove.
As his own tastes developed, guitar based music started to become his focus, which influenced him to take up the instrument himself. A few years later his attention was diverted to electronic dance music. Within months the guitar had been shelved, and turntables were its replacement.

Over the years Lee’s musical direction has diversified, but a love of garage grooves and deep beats complimented by melodic bass lines has developed consistently to be very resonant in his sound.

Playing in local clubs he secured a residency whilst still in his teens, and after an impromptu holiday to Ibiza for the Millennium, the natural progression saw him set out with his records to hit the White Isle the following summer.
This resulted in a residency at the infamous Milk Bar and appearances at El Divino and Es Paradis. Following summers in Ibiza helped Lee to cement his musical career and has lead to appearances in the likes of Privilege, Space and The Zoo.

These seasons were fundamental in carving out a musical path for Lee, however his feet are now firmly on the ground in London. He continues to play across the Capital and is a firm fixture within the East London clubbing community. This can be confirmed by his residency for Creche, recently voted one the best club nights of 2011 by Mixmag.

Lee also runs a party in Kent, OFF KEY. Started in April 2009 as a bank holiday sunday day time affair it has been hailed as “One of the best outdoor events in the UK” by DJ Mag. The A list line ups have included the likes of Sasha, Seth Troxler and Jamie Jones.

June 2010 saw the launch of Lee’s label Lower East alongside Cozzy D & Ed Kane (www.lower-east.com). Their monthly releases have so far seen Lee’s music remixed by the likes of Uner, Nima Gorji, Robert James and WiLDKATS. With a recent release on Hot Creations off shoot, Hot Waves and a remix on Deconstruction scheduled for early 2012, the future is looking interesting for this rising London star.
