ANNIE MAC at Stealth - Bank Holiday Sunday 1st May, 2011

Bank Holiday Sunday May 1st, 2011

THE INDOOR FESTIVAL present...

ANNIE MAC (BBC Radio 1)

On Sunday May 1st as part of the Indoor Festival 2011 we are pleased to welcome back the first lady of Radio, BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac!

Born in Dublin to a family immersed in musicality, Annie Mac left home at 17 to attend Queen's University in Belfast, where she was bitten by the clubbing bug, and inspired to purchase her first set of decks, Annie taught herself to mix using old funk and soul records bought from local charity shops. Following a stint as part of Shine's marketing team and four months living in Manhattan, Annie made the move to London, working simultaneously as a TV and radio plugger, a freelance broadcasting assistant and a presenter for the SBN, before she approached BBC Radio 1.

Annie's show on Radio 1 began in July 2004 when, working as a assistant producer on Zane Lowe's show, she impressed Radio 1 bosses with her demos and her determination.

Since then her show has gone from strength to strength. Annie Mac's Mash Up on Friday nights on Radio 1 has attracted a host of loyal followers from around the world and sees Annie play the cutting-edge dance music which she has become known for.

Annie is a talented club DJ, playing reguarly at Stealth since 2005. We have hosted the Nottingham leg of the annual DJ tour 'Annie Mac Presents...' for the last few years, which features Annie playing alongside some of her favourite acts. The clubnight has launched the off-shoot of the 'Annie Mac presents...' CD Compilations:

Since 2009, Annie Mac's show has moved to the new time slot of 7pm to 9pm, taking over from Pete Tong. One of the highlights of the show are the weekly 'mini-mixes' where Annie's guests make a special mix of all of their favourite songs all 'mashed-up' into a 5 minute mix. A selection of the mixes can be downloaded from here.

To listen to Annie's latest show head over to her BBC iPlayer site.

Annie is known for playing an eclectic mix of genres in her DJ sets, including House, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, UK Funky and Disco. Have a listen to her 2010 'Y.M.A.C' Disco mix (originally available via her Annie Mac Presents blog):

Annie Mac - Y.M.A.C Mix

ANNIE MAC plays at The Indoor Festival on Sunday May 1st, 2011 alongside JACK BEATS, A1 BASSLINE & so much more.

The event has sold out for the past few years so if you haven't got a ticket yet then we advise you get one ASAP from here!

SPACE DIMENSION CONTROLLER (R&S Records) at Stealth (22/04/11)

Friday 22nd April, 2011

> > ZLEEP 008 < <

SPACE DIMENSION CONTROLLER (R&S Records/Clone/Kinnego)
Space Dimension Controller is still relatively new to the scene, but in the last year or so has been responsible for some of the most jaw-dropping pieces of music we've ever had the pleasure of hearing.



With a dedicated affinity towards dusty old pieces of rare and often forgotten hardware, this man has created an intoxicating blend of detroit techno, p-funk, acid house and disco which can best be described as Galactic Funk. Unsurprisingly, the whole World has actually sat up and taken notice with everyone from Francois K to Josh Wink rinsing a number of blinding releases on labels such as R&S and Rush Hour and everybody else with the right mind flocking to catch this star-in-the-making before he jumps back in his space pod and leaves Earthly confines for new galactic pastures.



I think you can tell we're BIG fans and delighted to have him for his Nottingham debut.

Listen to his live mix recorded last summer in Belfast:

Space Dimension Controller @ UNiT EM

Also well worthy of a listen is his FACT Mix (from February 2010):

DEPRESSED BUTTONS (Mad Decent) at Stealth (26/02/11)

Saturday 26th February, 2011

Stealth Vs Rescued
Every Saturday at Stealth & The Rescue Rooms
Voted 'Nottingham's Best Club Night' 2009 & 2010

with

DEPRESSED BUTTONS (Mad Decent)
Most commonly known as three-fifths of the influential indie-synth outfit, The Faint, Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele have begun their journey into the future of sound with their new project Depressed Buttons. The men behind the drums, vox, and keyboards of the revered Faint were among the first to give punk kids a taste of keyboard-based dance music in the late 1990s.

Now outfitted as Depressed Buttons, they have taken on the electronic/dance world with an entirely new sound. With remixes for Of Montreal and Boys Noize under their belts and remixes for Boy 8-Bit and Shinichi Osawa on the way, Mad Decent signed them to release their first EP, "QWERTY," back in December 2010.

The four-track debut EP didn't digress from The Faint’s intention to make an entire audience fill the dance floor, but Depressed Buttons does lead into a new sound of digital dance dimension. With a filthy lust for synthesizers, the band creates all of their own tracks, leaving listeners entranced and entangled within a web of angular stabs and thick pads. Don’t let the word “depressed” fool you, a button that's depressed isn't sad; it's turned on, which is exactly what "QWERTY" does to listeners.



Qwerty by Depressed Buttons

BURNS (2112 Records)
BURNS is the young British newcomer championed by Annie Mac, Erol Alkan, The Ed Banger Crew, A-Trak, The NME, Mixmag, The Guardian, The Times, Time Out, DJ mag, Calvin Harris, Zane Lowe, blogs, and forums alike.
2009 saw the release of BURNS' debut - 'The Turbo EP', which featured the track 'Heartbeats' alongside the original of 'Turbo' and a remix from Jokers Of The Scene. 'The Teknique EP' soon followed, with the tracks 'Teknique', 'Into My Eyes' & 'First Move' (complete with remixes from Fred Falke & His Majesty Andre) making their impact on dancefloor's worldwide.
On the strength of the two EPs BURNS was handpicked by both Deadmau5 & Calvin Harris to support them both on their worldwide tours.

2010 began with a range of ‘hot tip’ media plaudits, before Burns released his first mix compilation 'This Is Burns 001: European Sex Music', featuring tracks from the likes of Armand Van Helden, Boys Noize, Surkin, BeatauCue, Tony Senghore, Jan Driver, Brodinski & L-Vis 1990.

The lead track from his third release (‘So Many Nights EP') first appeared on DJ Mehdi's Christmas 2009 Mixtape for the Ed Banger website, Cool Cats. The buzz quickly spread to the blogs and forums with the Ed Banger crew unanimously declaring it to be a 'banger” (their highest accolade) & A-Trak charting it on his own blog.

BURNS' latest track 'Y.S.L.M (You Stopped Loving Me) is co-produced by French House legend Fred Falke and comes out on 12th December (following months of support from the likes of Annie Mac), and BURNS has just been nominated as 'Best Breakthrough DJ' in the DJ Mag Best of British Awards.

FOALS (DJ set)
"What links the minimalism of American composer Steve Reich, guitars that sound like insects and tennis player Andy Roddick? The answer is one word: Foals."

A band who most certainly should not be pigeon-holed, they cite their influences as Devo, Glen Branca, Battles, Arthur Russell, Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake.

Whilst debut 'Antidotes' brought them widespread critical acclaim it was sophomore effort 'Total Life Forever' that brough Foals eclectic sound to the masses.





• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

MYSTERY JETS (DJ Set)
"All the best bands create their own universe. Few, however, create one as strange and bewitching as the Mystery Jets. Based on Eel Pie Island, the Bohemian stronghold in the middle of the Thames at Twickenham, the Mystery Jets embody British pop at its most invigoratingly weird. Already, previous singles Zoo Time, You Cant Fool Me Dennis, On My Feet and Alas Agnes have seemed like dispatches from some starry-eyed parallel universe. A universe where Syd Barrett never dropped out but played on with Einzurstende Neubauten, where the irresistible pop of Dexys can happily co-exist with the Krautrock explorations of Can, and where the most forbidding musical forms of the past, like prog rock, are gleefully reinvented in the smash-and-grab spirit of the present."

From secret gigs to headlining this year's Dot to Dot Mystery Jets' second home is Nottingham. Come and see them celebrate the culmination of another great year at Stealth!

MAGDA (M_Nus) & MARC HOULE @ Stealth

Sunday October 17th

M-NUS & ZLEEP PRESENT...

MAGDA ((M_Nus))

Magda is quite simply one of a handful of true luminaries in the world of underground House & Techno. Along with Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Marc Houle and Luciano there are few that have garnered such wide-sweeping respect & general popularity in equal measures. What makes her rapid rise all the more impressive is that unlike her contemporary trailblazers she has achieved this primarily as a DJ through international tours and mixes such as She's a Dancing Machine, Fabric 49.

Check out the reaction 1 minute 24 seconds in:


With her debut album ' From The Fallen Page' due to drop only days after this show, it's a safe bet that it will be well worth the wait.

MARC HOULE (live)(M_nus)


Since 2004, Houle has been a staple of Richie Hawtin's Minus imprint, through which he's released all of his records. The majority of his productions follow his label's stark aesthetic, though his biggest track to date remains "Techno Vocals," the 2007 single that poked fun at minimal's obsession with the pitched-down male voice.



Though not as tongue-in-cheek in tone, Drift also stems from Houle's distate for current musical trends, or what a press release describes as his "personal frustrations with what is considered 'techno.'" The album was composed during this year's long and dreary Berlin winter, as reflected in titles like "Inside," "Seeing in the Dark" and, more hopefully, "Melting." It will be his first album since 2006's Bay of Figs.

RIOTOUS ROCKERS Interview - Stealth 6th Birthday

Riotous Rockers formed after a chance meeting on the dance floor of Fabric Room One in the summer of 2003. Unbeknown to Pete and Boggy they would both meet again in their home town of Nottingham a few months later to discover they shared a mutual love of all things Electro, Pop, Disco, and Rave.

The DJ partnership was truly formed when they were given the chance to play at Nottingham's most hedonistic night, Liars Club. Mixing up as many styles as they could lay their hands on, they complimented promoter Ricky Haley's inspired bookings (which over the years has seen the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Scissors Sisters, Bloc Party and The Klaxons play long before they became household names). Riotous Rockers soon became a regular fixture at the clubnight.

Word of these explosive DJ sets travelled fast, and the Rockers found regular guest slots at the cream of UK of club land further a field, including gigs in Ibiza, Barcelona, New York, Paris and Amsterdam.

They've been djing regularly at Stealth over the past 6 years, so we thought we'd have a bit of a reminisce...

How long ago did you start djing?

Boggy (right): I've been Djing for the last 15 years.
Pete (left): About 7 years ago.

What was the first record you ever bought?

Boggy: Arthurs Theme (Caught between the moon and New York city) - Christopher Cross
Pete: A-ha – The Sun Always Shines On TV (still massive!)

And what was the last record (or track) you bought?

Boggy: Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco - Visual (Autodiscotque)
Pete: Marcos Cabral & Shux – Lifetime Groove (OTP Party Breaks)

Who were your main inspirations that got you into djing & production?

Boggy: Erol Alkan, Mickey Finn, Andy Weatherall, The Chemical Brothers, Stuart Price, Harvey, Soulwax.
Pete: Going to Clubs like 21st Century Body Rockers, Return to New York and Trash. Seeing Erol, 2many DJs, Mark Moore, Lazarus, etc. playing the most exciting music I’d ever heard.

How many records are in your collection?

Boggy: Around 4000 maybe, happily rapidly declining thanks to Ebay!
Pete: I have no idea, a few thousand I suppose. A lot of them are for sale now though.

What are your 3 most played tracks at the moment?

Boggy: 1) Lemonade (Justin Robertson Remix) - Erol Alkan & Boys Noize; 2) Say My Name - Holy Ghost; 3) Bad Love (Azari and III remix) – Booka Shade
Pete: 1) Big Crunch Theory –What To Say (DJ Koze Remix); 2) The Three Degrees – The Runner (Wild Geese Edit); 3) Tiago – Motorcycles (Neville Watson Remix)

What do you do when you are not djing / producing?

Boggy: I'm a world class Trampoliner.
Pete: I’ve gone back to school.

What is your biggest fear?

Boggy: Black Eyed Peas / Nickelback / Kei$ha / Conservative Election win / Clumber Street / Piers Morgan / Baked Beans / Volcanic Ash during European DJ bookings!
Pete: Chris Bithell

Stealth is 6 years old this Friday. What did you do on your 6th birthday?

Boggy: I spilled the vanilla essence all over the floor at my Grandma's house. It
was gonna be used for my birthday cake.
Pete: I think I went to Twycross Zoo!

If you could pick 3 Dj's (past or present) to play at your party who would
you pick?

Boggy: Larry Levan (R.I.P), Harvey, Dexter (Avalanches), (and Michael Mayer if one pulled out!)
Pete: I-F (Clasic Italo Disco Set), Jacques Lu Cont (Back to 2004 set), Jarvis Cocker (in the other room).

What is your favourite memory of Stealth?

Boggy: So many, I can remember Djing with Felix Da Housecat years ago and it going insane when we were playing. I went to see Chromeo play live on a Thursday night, around 70 people there I think, but they were amazing. Running our own night ASBO has always been fun at Stealth guests including Hot Chip (playing live) and Fake Blood (when he was simply DJ Touché). Everytime we warm up for Erol Alkan it’s great.
Pete: So many amazing times. Some of the guests in the early days, often on the same bill; The Glimmers, The Hacker, Felix Da Housecat, Ivan Smagghe were all amazing to have on in Nottingham, also the first time Erol played was really special. Warming up for loads of my favorite DJs/producers has been an unbelievable job to have – thank you Stealth!

What tracks stand out as your favourites from your sets at Stealth (over the last 6 years)?

Boggy: 1) 'Take a Chance' (Kiko Remix) - Mr Flagio; 2) 'Everywhere' - Fleetwood Mac; 3) 'Nude Night' - The Chemical Brothers; 4) 'Freakin Out' - Graham Coxon (during our Club NME residency)
Pete: 1) 'Take a Chance' (Kiko Remix) – Mr Flagio; 2) 'Prototype' – Rex The Dog; 3) 'Erotic Discourse' - Paul Woolford presents Bobby Peru, 4 ) 'Perspex Sex' (Ewan Pearson Remix) – Freeform Five; 5) 'Kickschool 79' – Thomas Schumacher.

What has been your favourite night at Stealth (over the last 6 years)?

Boggy: When we djed with Jacques Lu Cont about 2006ish, amazing scenes absolutely mental, people on shoulders, jumping all over the shop. A DJ at the absolute height of his game.
Pete: 2many DJs on a Friday. I spent most of the gig on Matt Waites shoulders it was more like being at a gig than in a nightclub!

What has been your funniest moment in Stealth?

Boggy: The time Ricky Haley hired a ball pool for the middle of the downstairs room at Liars club. Absolute mayhem, bouncers, bar staff getting hit in the face with balls, huge night!
