"boys want to be him, girls want to be with him"

But cynics beware, amidst all the hype it is clear to see that DC-10 resident Seth is undeniably one of the most gifted dj/producers to have risen to prominence in the last few years. Having just been voted 3rd best DJ of 2010 on what is widely regarded as the foremost online house & techno forum Resident Advisor, being pipped to the post by some guy called Richie and a certain Ricky V...



The man has released EP's on a whole host of respected and generally boundary-shattering labels (Circus Company/Crosstown Rebels/Esperanza/Raum/Spectral Sound/Wagon Repair/ Wolf + Lamb..) as well mix compilations such as the critically acclaimed Boogy Bytes Vol 05 on Bpitch Control.

Seth Troxler & Ryan Crosson Live @ Panama City Jazz Festival - 2010 by R_co

We are most proud to be welcoming Seth for his first appearance in Nottingham. His reputation precedes him, a phrase which has never been more appropriate. Something tells me it's going to be special.

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.

MATT TOLFREY (LEFTROOM/COCOON) INTERVIEW

After three massive nights (with Andrew Weatherall, Hector, Ivan Smagghe, Tim Green & Jamie Jones), this Friday sees the fourth installment of Zleep - where MATT TOLFREY will be playing alongside SIMON BAKER at ZLEEP 004.


As a self-proclaimed workaholic, Matt Tolfrey has spent the last few years forging a unique sound through his DJ sets and production and has somehow still found time to create and nurture one of the UK’s most respected, not to mention cutting edge house/techno labels in Leftroom. Matt has been ever present at Stealth since its inception several years ago. We put some questions to him.


What have you been working on recently Matt?

Recently it has been my tan and getting fat in USA. Music wise there is tons on, and never enough time to do it…

I just finished a new remix solo for a new British label called Kaluki from Manchester by a guy called Joseph Kindred. Really happy with it, and seeing as it is only the second remix I have ever done on my own it has inspired me to produce more again.

Chris and I have remixes pending on Rekids of James Teej and Cityfox of Lee Curtiss. We’re also working really hard on our debut album, which we’re hoping to have finished by the end of the year.

Can you tell us what we can look forward to from your Leftroom label in the coming months?

We are promoing Left019 at the moment, which is by Eric Johnston a newish comer from Detroit. It comes with a remix from Ryan Elliot also. After that we have a big 20th release with tracks coming from all the Leftroom crew. 6Six tracks in total, four on vinyl and two digital exclusives. Then on Leftroom Limited we have an ep by iO and Westboy called With Love from Ukraine, then next up after that is an ep by London’s Jozif. Then the Left’d002 (Leftroom’s new digital label) is about to drop and we have various artist ep’s from then on every 4-6 weeks. We’re really busy with the label at the moment, we just changed distributors and took on Leon Oakey as our new label manager. After such a long time not putting out many releases, we have got everything in line again and are ready to take over!!!

Technology has always played a key role in the evolution of house and techno. Do you think that this influence has become less important in recent years as producers have tended to look back for inspiration?

The idea of only playing promo’s is totally gone now. I play as much old music as new, so this has definitely changed. Technology wise it’s only human to always evolve and get better, faster, more efficient, etc… Producers have always looked to the past for inspiration, it’s all based on disco in the end isn’t it…

Who would be your singularly most important influence on your production work?

To be honest we try and not be influenced too much when it comes to production as we’re trying so hard to forge our own sound. But a producer I have a lot of respect for and who is getting insanely good at the moment is Lee Curtiss. He just finished a track that got signed to Culprit in LA that has me doing vocals on it, and if he can make me sound like I can actually sing, he can do anything…

You’ve played all over the world, where do the clubbers most connect with what you are trying to communicate in your DJ sets? Why do you think that is?

I am lucky as I feel I make a connection with all the people I play for. It is in my personality anyway, I get on with most people if not all, so I think comes through in my dj style. I’m not one of these dj’s that thinks I am educating people or anything like that. I just play what I would want to hear if I was on the dancefloor myself, which I still do a lot as well, everyone loves a good party and supporting people!

Your role model?

Mum. She is the toughest cookie on the planet and inspires me a lot. She has just beaten cancer and my world revolves around her. I’m a big mummies boy at heart.

Your top 5 records of the moment?

This is always hard to do as there is a lot more than 5 records that I am buzzing off at the moment, but here we go, in no particular order…

1. Robin Ordell – The Show – Leftroom Limited
2. Lee Curtiss ft Matt Tolfrey – Candy – Culprit
3. Pezzner – Balboa Park – Freerange
4. Adonis – We’re Rocking Down The House (Basement Jaxx Remix)
5. Losoul ft Malte – Lies – Playhouse

Jamie Jones @ Zleep (Friday 21st May)

This Friday at Stealth sees the third installment of Nottingham's freshest Minimal House & Underground Techno night, Zleep.

After bringing the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Hector, Tim Green & Ivan Smagghe to Stealth, Zleep are welcoming back the man who picked up awards for BEST PRODUCER' & 'BEST SINGLE' at the 2009 DJ Mag awards - the Welsh wonder JAMIE JONES.

Jamie Jones has achieved in the space of a few short years what many producers try for in a lifetime. Turning his hand to a variety of styles while still maintaining a strong signature sound, Jones has created an admired musical identity and a loyal global following.

One of techno’s rising stars, Jamie Jones is part of a new guard of house and techno djs who resonate as artists, party people, djs, and live acts. Raised in Wales, Jamie’s university days in London helped launch his infatuation with club culture that would bring him to Ibiza during the summers. Ultimately relationships forged during those island summers helped Jamie become an integral cog in thriving music scenes of Ibiza and later East London, where Jones’s bustling djscandance warehouse parties and regular gigs at Fabric helped make his mark in London during the winters.



During the summers, gigs and residencies like the Space Terrace, Manumission’s Music Box Room, and later DC10 (a club he frequented as one of the original regulars in his early days on the island) helped him gain a foothold in the Ibiza Scene while defining a sound that was uniquely electronic, soulful, and bouncy, with a consistent groove. During one of these summers in Ibiza, he played his long in the works creation Amazon to Freak n’ Chic boss Dan Ghenacia who signed it on the spot.



Amazon, when released, was well received and immediately drew Jones favorable comparisons to luminaries like Mathew Jonson and Carl Craig and went on to become the labels biggest selling record. Jamie followed that standout release with recordings on leading labels like Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical, Cocoon, Poker Flat and far too many more to mention.

TIM GREEN Interview - Stealth 6th Birthday

As you should all be aware by now this Friday is Stealth's Sixth Birthday - and to celebrate we're putting on a special event showcasing some of our favourite acts from the last 6 years at the club (including Fake Blood, Ivan Smagghe, Nero, Bowski & Tim Green).

Tim Green is one of those producers who doesn't turn in a lot of filler tracks. For the most part when "TG" or Tim Green puts something out there, it has a strong sense of character and rocks a dancefloor to its core. Many of the world’s leading labels have recognized this, with Tim signing tracks and remixes on the likes of Get Physical, Cocoon, Dirtybird, Renaissance, Four:Twenty, Trapez, Cr2, Sci-tec, Southern Fried and many more. Singles such as ‘Kitch-In’ ‘Mr.Dry’ ‘Revox’ & ‘Exercise’ have become anthems in the house and techno scene over the past 2 years.



Tim's talents have not gone unnoticed by the world biggest djs, and the level of support he's received on his productions has been quite staggering. Ritchie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Sasha & John Digweed, Josh Wink, Deadmu5, Tiefschwarz, Steve Lawler, MANDY, Dubfire, Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Slam, Claude Von Stroke, Nic Fanciulli, Steve Angello, Lee Burridge, Damian Lazarus, Anja Schnieder, and many more have consistently championed Tim’s music. Check out these videos of Richie Hawtin & Erol Alkan dropping Tim's tracks:



We caught up with Tim to ask him a few questions before his set at Stealth this Friday.

How long ago did you start djing & producing?

About 4 or 5 years ago. Producing came first, closely followed by DJing.

What was the first record you ever bought?

Cant remember exactly, but was probably something like High Contrast-
Make It Tonight or a record from Thomas Bangalter's Roule label.

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

Actual record bought fairly recently was Skudge - Convolution.

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

Initially it was Daft Punk and a lot of drum and bass. Calibre,
Nu:Tone, High Contrast etc... Adam F as well with his Colours album.
Thats more the initial ones for production. But then it was more my
mates in Kent who were all DJs. They all taught me to mix and
inspired me.

How many records are in your collection?

More than 10.

What are your 3 most played tracks at the moment?

1) Pamparampapam - Mindhaker
2) La France - Lucero En Vivo
3) Convolution - Skudge

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

Read, drink, watch movies, stay clear of airports.

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

Probably got high on e-numbers, additives and sugar! Ran around a lot..... then got more high!

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

Daft Punk, Loco Dice and DJ Shadow.

What is your favourite memory of Stealth?

Haha, a very blurry one with Dave Congreve. In fact, they are always brilliantly blurry - for which I put all blame onto him! But we always end up playing back to back which is really great fun. I could mix back to back with Dave for hours and hours.

Tim Green will be playing in the > ZLEEP < room alongside Ivan Smagghe, Zleep Djs & Dave Congreve. Here's one of Tim's mixes to get you ready for Friday's party:
