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:

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

ZLEEP 007 with...

After what will be an almost unbearable break in zleeps we return with surely one of the most iconic/charismatic DJs on the circuit in the form of utterly mesmerising and sometimes enigmatic SETH TROXLER.

> > > SETH TROXLER (wolf + lamb/crosstown rebels/wagon repair) < < <

"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.

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.

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.

JAMES ZABIELA tonight at Stealth !!!

After a massive bank holiday at Stealth we are all set for the weekend - and we are celebrating in style by welcoming back the one-and-only JAMES ZABIELA!


James Zabiela is just 30 years old, but is well on his way to achieving superstar DJ status. Chalk it up to the fact that the preternaturally gifted mixer and producer already boasts almost ten years as a pro. Since his earliest days winning bedroom DJ competitions, Zabiela has continued to develop the art of the mix, bringing a bit of technical flash to the often by-the-books realm of four-to-the-floor. From the get-go, he has never been shy about cutting, scratching, and flipping the records he uses as his base, filtering it all through loops and effects until the final product barely resembles the original track. In other words, you will never find James Zabiela just hitting play on a MacBook.

Here is a video of James' last Nottingham show:



As a special thank-you to you all, everyone who attends the Stealth show will get a full cd copy of James' latest Renaissance CD! Tickets for tonight are available from here and for more info visit the Facebook event.

IVAN SMAGGHE Interview - Stealth 6th Brithday

To headline the >ZLEEP< room at the Stealth 6th Birthday this Friday, we are looking forward to welcoming back a man who stands at the crossroads between glamorous Parisian hype and musical integrity, Stealth favourite IVAN SMAGGHE.

Ivan's 'Test' radio show and compilations imposed a new vision of leftfield electronica on Radio Nova and his programming for the two past years has been a faultless example of quality eclecticness. Though Smagghe hails from the early days of the Parisian underground - both through his connection with the defunct Rough Trade record shop and remixing contributions on various formats - he came back to music production in 2001 by launching his own Set imprint.

How long ago did you start djing & producing?

First paid set in 1992. Production came later, ‘96 probably.

What was the first record you ever bought?

Soft Cell's ‘Tainted Love’ was the first I bought with my own money.

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

An EP by Dionigi called 'They Have Black Eyes’ on Quantity Division: Italian. Amongst others.

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

My dad and his love for Tangerine Dream. Throbbing Gristle, Severed Heads, and Soft Cell probably. Belgian new beat. I'm coming from a 'rock' background, so Weatherall has to be the man responsible for getting me properly into dance music. Dimitri from Amsterdam was a DJ I loved and loads of others. Harvey counted a lot at some point. Many others over the years really.

How many records are in your collection?

I stopped counting and collecting when I lost 20,000 records in a fire back in 1998.

What are your 3 most played tracks at the moment?

Some unreleased tracks by French hopes DARABI (check Get The Curse for more info), 'Broken Clock' by CHALLENGE on Marketing, and an EDDIE C remix of SEAN BROSNAN on Needwant.

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

Read. Watch movies. Not TV, movies. Being angered by too many believing in the final victory of capitalism.

What is your biggest fear?

Loss of a loved one. Including my cat.

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

Too far away to remember I’m afraid. But I asked my mum for my first record in 1977. 'Manureva' by Alain Chamfort, a French pop track of which I’ve always wanted to sample first four bars.

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

Dimitri from Amsterdam circa 1992, Poltergeist, an early Belgian legend whom I was never able to hear, and Nathan Wilkins really playing what he wants. They’re 3 amongst many though.

What is your favourite memory of Stealth?

The quality of it's residents, Matt Tolfrey and Dave Congreve. And it was always a pleasure to see James Bailie.

Ivan will be playing alongside Tim Green, Dave Congreve & Zleep DJs at the Stealth 6th Birthday event this Friday.

Tickets are available from Alt-Tickets, Stealth Online or in person from Rock City Box Office.

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: 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.

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

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!

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!
