• A DAY AND NIGHT OF ECLECTIC SUNSHINE SOUNDS People, save the date! Born out of a simple shared love of warm sounds, six DJ/Producers from around the UK are coming together on August 11th to realise their collective fantasy to share a FREE day and night party of friendly vibes, wonderful music and outdoor merriment with the good people of London. Where best to celebrate this glorious notion? Camden's most loveable music boozer, The Lock Tavern, of course! Top-notch roasts, Früli on tap, and glorious tunes rolling out onto the alfresco terrace upstairs till late make this pub the ultimate party choice, every time. Enjoy a journey from Woodstock to Ibiza, from Paris to Dakar, from Berlin to Brazil, or from Jamaica back to good old Blighty, in an eclectic soundtrack lovingly brewed up by our wonderful rabble of DJs… DJ line up [alphabetical order]: Channel Swimmer - https://www.channelswimmer.com/ The original tracks made by Welsh producer Channel Swimmer play out like an audio holiday brochure of all your wildest dream destinations, constructed entirely from rich samples all sourced from the dusty record collections of yesteryear. His own debut LP 'Alphabet' [on which there's a track for every letter of the alphabet!] is due out this summer and promises to fill the gaping void that the groundbreaking Avalanches debut LP 'Since I Left You' left behind… When Channel Swimmer takes to the decks, expect to hear music from all around the globe, from any era and any genre… Chris Coco - http://www.mixcloud.com/chriscoco Stalwart of musical eclecticism, Chris Coco has been searching under rocks and in the shadows for new sounds and styles since his early days of co-presenting Radio 1's legendary Blue Room show with Rob da Bank. But now, through his work as head honcho of the burgeoning Melodica Recordings label, and host of the wonderful Melodica podcasts [see link above], Chris is closer than ever to the forefront of new music. It's no surprise then that, with one eye on the zeitgeist and his ear honed for melody, Chris's DJ sets are a firm Lock Tavern favourite. Joel Hood - https://soundcloud.com/joel-hood Despite hailing from the misty moors of Yorkshire, Joel Hood writes dreamy electronic Pop opuses, all sun-bleached, flecked with sea spray and skewed by mirage. His own songs fuse contemporary songwriting with a healthy dose of nostalgia, intricately weaving vintage samples into the mix. Already a favourite of US tastemakers like Indieshuffle blog and Cascine Records, with only a handful of tracks shared on Soundcloud, the first rays of Joel Hood’s beautiful music have burst through the clouds to brighten up our lives and long may they shine! Expect truly wonderful tunes from his London DJ debut. Mark Ryan - http://www.amazingradio.com//?show=amazingbeats Respected for championing the best in contemporary Electronic music on his Amazing Radio [DAB] show every Friday night, Mark Ryan has also lovingly supported many of SUN's DJ/Producers on his show. Someone buy that man a drink! Sure to be bringing his very latest promos, demos and classics too, we're all eagerly awaiting to hear which scorching tunes will shine the brightest from Mark's record bag. Mojo Filter - https://soundcloud.com/thebenz Ben Zaven Crane [AKA Mojo Filter] makes a living by DJing cosmic tunes around the globe, but it's his own inimitable sound as a producer that sets him apart from other DJs. As Mojo Filter, he reworks AOR and Vintage Rock and Pop classics into a heady frenzy with a level of detail, depth and groove from outer space. Indeed, stunning revelers at Glastonbury, Bestival, Festival No.6 and Secret Garden Party, with this idiosyncratic sound, has earned him the coveted role of curating the line-up for the SGP’s Feral Fever woodland, proudly realising his outdoor music idyll each year. Ben lives and breathes tunes, discovering the good shit whenever and wherever it's hiding, and he will make sure no one goes home empty handed on the night! TYTHE - https://soundcloud.com/tythe Signed to Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label, TYTHE releases his debut LP 'And Also With You' in August. As a producer, he makes eclectic Electronic music. As a DJ, he applies the same basic music policy, but then drinks 7 Sambucas and ends up playing whatever the devil he can find at that moment. Only one thing is certain, if he is playing late, the sun will have his raving hat on… Come on! You know you want to x SUN
