Monokreck describes his style as "open minded house, from glitchy microhouse to deep techno, and all in between". Melting many styles of electronic music together to create a warm atmosphere on the dancefloor.
Kerst is natuurlijk niks zonder een goed diner en een kerstboom! Kerst is niks zonder sneeuw(!), kerst is niks zonder sinterklaas. Maar wat natuurlijk ook niet kan missen om de kerstdagen goed af te sluiten is een dijk :) van een feest.
Soms ben je ergens aan het wandelen en begint het ineens keihard te regenen. Of je wordt achterna gezeten door een groep hondsdolle wezels. Of je loopt heel hard tegen een boom. In deze gevallen is het duidelijk tijd om naar huis te gaan.
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.
