Vrijdag 17 september is het dan zover: Berlin Underground en Steam slaan de handen ineen voor wat beloofd een smerig avondje, muzikale verwennerij te worden.
Van oudsher staat Bacardi bekend om haar sfeervolle feesten op haar landgoed in Cuba. Maar sinds kort is het merk ook actief in de Nederlandse muziekwereld.
Vanaf september verwend Panama de bezoekers weer eens met een “Panama presents” avond. Deze avonden staan altijd garant voor de grootste internationale & nationale DJ’s.
Shaven headed, calm and collected, Luke Slater is hidden by a plate of poppadoms in a blistering West London curry house on a scorching summer's evening.
Being the only people in the restaurant, the waiters attentively hover around like court servants at Buckingham Palace as Luke S delivers the history of his life.
Through his early dalliances with sound textures via his dad's 1957 Garrard hi-fi system, to his drumming exploits with a prog rock outfit at the age of 12, to his early experiences of the baffling world of studio engineers. Between mouthfuls of pilau rice and nan bread he explains why things did not exactly run smoothly in those early days.
"All those studios we went into were not geared to what we wanted to do. They'd be like, 'We had Mel and Kim in here last week.' One engineer we had was Angelo Starr, the brother of Edwin Starr. He was a really nice guy but he had no idea. The first thing he said when we went in was, 'OK guys, let's make some hits.'
We didn't really hit it off after that." Understandably, a man with his own vision, a man with his own agenda, Luke Slater is a bit of a one off. Asking Luke Slater to make hits is a bit like asking Michaelangelo to paint a beach hut.
