Latmun -

Latmun, the moniker of Joe Bradley is making his mark through his own interpretation of the House and Tech House soundscape. Both his DJ sets and his own productions have a coherent energy, an infectious groove being the key component causing the crowd to remain captivated, something he has picked up from many sunrises caught in the clubs of Ibiza, and time spent during the early hours in London. His ability to mix eclectically is rooted from many years of DJing and holding down residencies around the midlands, namely the stalwart nightlife institution Stealth Nightclub in Nottingham.

2016 so far has been career defining for Latmun, with all 3 EP's he's put out breaking into the top 10 on the Beatport Tech House releases. This started off with his 'Def' EP on VIVa, which received support from scene heavyweights like Skream, Claptone, Claude Vonstroke, Mathias Tanzmann, Steve Lawler and many more, it still continues to soundtrack the biggest festival stages today. The Dance & Bop EP on Wow! Recordings had similar success and carrying on the momentum through to his most recent offering via Leftwing & Kody'sLost Records. 'Cosmic', the titular track shot all the way up to number 5 in the top 100 tracks chart, showing he earned being named one of the stand-out artists of 2016. The recent and most exciting project has come about when Green Velvet asked him to remix his seminal classic - Flash - alongside the likes of Eats Everything and Oliver $. Considering the relatively short time he's been in the limelight, he's already made a lasting impression, one that has been rewarded with an impressive touring schedule including a number of dates in Ibiza, Berlin, Austria, Belgium and even as far afield as LA.

Latmun is an all round lover of music, the rest can be denoted by virtue of listening and experiencing what he brings to the dance-floor for yourself.

Mihalis Safras

Greek region besides sun, islands and ouzo has a great electronic scene and Mihalis Safras is definitely its most important representative. Being named as the ‘vinyl hero’ Safras caliber goes way far.

House-head to the bone, Safras's numerous releases on monstrous labels like: Saved, Relief, Knee Deep in Sound, and offcourse his own label Material, chart him amongst the Most Charted Artists according to Resident Advisor & Beatport Stats.

In 2016 he was one of the few artists that have officially remixed Marco Carola, with his ‘Play It Loud!’ remix being on top of Tech House charts within few days and having massive support from all key players in the scene.

As a result he has been nominated for Best BreakThought DJ at 2016 IDMA Awards & DJAwards in Ibiza, and was hailed as no.1 TechHouse producr by music platform Traxsource. [links below]

Still a 12-inch lover and as a vinyl-only DJ, felt the joy of spinning his vinyls at some of the most well regarded clubs and events over the most important territories there is.

Leading UK dance festival Global Gathering, Miami WMC and Ibiza's Ushuaia were just a few things of to be ticked off the 'to do' list.

This & That -

2 fresh, up and coming DJ's that have great talent and an ear for music. These two smashed a hot mix 45 on the Workhouse radio show recently and we can see raw talent in them. Getting on the decks for a mix has always been a hobby for them. Going from DJing at parties to their first gig on the radio was a big step but after playing the Terrace Sessions pres Rich Wakley they quickly established a solid Thursday night in the underground sessions.
