In the club: For our July HAUS party we’re teaming up with the good people from the Stop Making Sense festival to deliver our biggest line-up yet.
If the weather’s nice I may have to pop down to Argos and get a paddling pool for the full summer party effect. See you on the dancefloor.
In the bag: Jungle Wonz - Bird In A Gilded Cage
Long before those dodgy Deep Forest records Marshall Jefferson was busy turning already steamy Chicago dancefloors tropical with his Jungle Wonz releases. Beautiful record.
In the bag: Chip E - Time To Jack
25 years old and still sounding so, so good
In the bag: A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray
Absolutely seminal moment for British acid/house/techno this, after all these years the vocal chant still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
In the bag: Silver Columns - Cavalier (Astronomer Remix)
Alex Egan’s Astronomer remixes have easily been amongst some of the best releases over the past 12 months, and his refix of Silver Columns ‘Cavalier’ is no exception.
In the bag: Rihanna - Rude Boy (Leo Zero Remix)
It’s a fair bet that any HAUS set will contain at least half a dozen of Leo’s remixes, but tonight I’ll definitely spinning his detuned refix of Rihanna.
In the bag: Paul Simon - Late In The Evening
The sun is kind of shining, so this one has to go in the bag for tonight. Classic back room material that always gets those hips a swinging.
In the club: HAUS at 93 Feet East
We kick off our new monthly residency this Saturday with an evening of World Cup football, disco and acid house. We’d love you to join us ‘on one’
Not in the bag: Patrick Cowley - Primitive World (Paul Raymond Edit)
For many, many years the four (i think that’s all there were, i’m probably wrong, oh apparently there were 6 in all, you learn something every day) Paul Raymond edit 12”s (done by Dimitri from Paris) never left my record bag.
Sadly a couple of months ago my record bag spilled in a club, and these twelves were amongst the records horribly damaged. An absolute shitter, though obviously not as traumatic as living in a warzone or anything.
In the bag: The Glimmers - I’d Much Rather Go (Out With The Boys)
Most tracks with crowd noises in are winners in my book, they tend to act like a hysteresis loop driving crowds absolutely batshit crazy. Of course it helps that this is also an exquisitely well hung 12”s of acid disco.
