secretsundaze Easter Party
After what was without doubt one of our best ever seasons last year – the 10th year and a decade of secretsundaze parties – we are very happy to announce details of our first party of 2012.
Taking over long time favourite venue Village Underground on Easter Thursday 5th April secretsundaze have put together a great line up that very much reflects some of the best music out there.
Headlining the party we are super happy to invite back one of the most respected and consistent artists in the deep house / deep techno realms, Lawrence (Dial).
Quite apart from his excellent DJ skills, impeccable selection and smooth set programming Lawrence is also revered because of his all round long term contribution to underground dance music and uncompromising approach. He is involved in, not one but 3, excellent labels of the very highest calibre – Dial, Smallville and most recently Laid.

Our second guest making a return is Chicago born Tevo Howard, who will bring his heavy case of analogue gear over for the night. Tevo has been making music for years and DJing since 1987 but it was only when his label “Beautiful Granville” arrived on the scene in 2008/2009 with a spate of dyed in the wool classics such as “Everyday House Music” that his gospel was spread.
His sound which pays heavy tribute to trax and the Chicago sound is all firing drum machines – 808’s, 909’s and 101’s but they also have a beautiful melancholy feel that without doubt tug on the heart strings. Check out his brand new EP “The Drapes in The Living Room” on Thug records for a fine example of his work. The cut below is taken from this EP.

Our last guest comes in the shape of October (Skudge, TAANSTAFL). Hailing from Bristol October has come to prominence of late with his excellent DJ skills and records on the likes of Skudge, Tectonic and his new TAANSTAFL label co-run with John Osborn. His sound is very much a unique amalgamation of house, techno, dub and bass which is of course very much reflected in his hometowns roots. He guested for us at at The Secret Agency night at Fabric hugely impressing us with his selection and skills and we think his star is firmly on the ascendance with more records lined up for Skudge, TAANSTAFL and also for Will Saul’s soon to re-launched Simple records.
