Stellar Music 48 : JEZ PEREIRA (London)

Jez Pereira began as a teenager in the nineties spinning in Mumbai, then known as Bombay at Illusions, the club that became the birth place of Pereira's freestyle sound. 

Now, with at living headquarters in Streatham in South London, Pereira always knew working in a coffee shop was acceptable for actors, however, this wasn't quite his cup of tea. He continued to perfect his sound, whilst continuing to be recognized amongst the elite in his musical field. Inevitably Pereira's sound would be captured and claimed via large credible corporate events and then residencies swiftly followed. The infamous Kaleidoscope on Push FM finally got the man on radio as Pereira, continued to build on his musical path and push his own boundaries. 

Eventually he got to play at legendary venues - The Cross, KOKO'S, Heaven , Turnmills and of course Ministry Of Sound. Pereira was never overwhelmed when playing to large crowds and organizations or sharing the stage with superstar DJs. In many ways, that's what made him feel so comfortable - he was in his element and that's what got him respected by the superior producers. 

Pereira was a part of Paul Van Dyk’s 2008 album Launch night at London's Koko club, and quickly got recognized as a future name in the business, he was later involved in events at Heaven, working at the Bedrock label with John Digweed. It was there that he managed to rub shoulders with Norwegian's finest musical export, Eric Prydz. 

Pereira's name is conventionally connected to significant momentous occasions, London Fashion Week… Eivissa opening parties….. Innovative, energetic, invigorating, uplifting and refreshing start to any contemporary cutting edge event is what Pereira precision concise & precise sound brings…. During 2008, Pereira began what would become an unending run of successful collaborations, working with Vee Dale M.

Currently, Pereira is focused on his home residencies, although he has just returned from Goa, where he played for a festival "Sunburn" headlined by Defected and Eddie Halliwell. He is also working with Submerge, which is run by co-founders Nikhil Chinniappa and DJ Pearl. 

Although not in India for long, he managed to hit the morning headlines over there for his memorable set and crowd connection. Whatever route Pereira follows, his musical values and continued commitment to excellence will be music to everyone’s ears.

Stellar Music 41: ANIL CHAWLA (London) - Global Underground, Together (ex Turnmills), Dusted

Having exploded on the scene as a DJ to watch back in 2004, Anil Chawla has since soared through the ranks of the music world to establish himself as one of the UK’s most hotly-tipped electronic DJ/Producers.

Anil’s tale began in Maidstone, Kent – as a resident for local night Mongo Bongo, which saw him mix it up alongside the then (relatively) unknowns Nic Fanciulli and Mark Knight. As word of his talent soon spread, it wasn’t long before dance bible Mixmag made Anil as one of their first ever ‘Mixmag Future Heroes’ and some of London’s leading clubs came knocking on his door.

The legendary (now defunct) Turnmills wasted no time in offering Anil as many gigs as they could muster and unbelievably the following year (2005), Anil DJ’d at the club more times than any other DJ in the world – something ridiculous like 35 sets in total… not a bad start for a rookie at the start of his career!

As a Together resident (and a very popular one at that), Anil has shared the bill with some of the world’s most influential players including Green Velvet, Josh Wink, John Acquaviva, David Guetta and Felix Da Housecat to name a few and every time his sets have stood out equally alongside those of the more experienced global stars. Other regular commitments include gigs in in UK (Manchester, Brighton, Leeds) and abroad (Canada, Poland and Georgia), plus rather excitingly, the prospect of an ongoing international tour with cult label Global Underground.

Anil’s debut track with partner Dale - 'Disco Stew', was snapped up by Nic Fanciulli for his Saved Records label, whilst the follow up ‘Makes Me Feel’ featured on Fanciulli’s ‘Renaissance presents Nic Fanciulli Vol.1’ compilation. ‘Disco Stew’ and ‘Makes Me Feel’ are also set for a re-release this year complete with a new remix package.

With so many of his own tracks (productions & remixes) to pick from, Anil’s sets remain highly charged, very unique and always entertaining. Anil is very much the clubber’s DJ… always unselfishly playing for the crowd and letting the mood of the night determine his next track. Anil is held in very high regard by his peers and big-hitters like Hernan Cattaneo, Funk D’Void, Pete Tong, Dave Seaman, Max Graham, Chris Lake, Tim Sheridan, Cass & Mangan, Tom Stephan, Greg Vickers and James Talk are constantly championing his sound all over the world. 

Catch this amazing live set from Ministry of Sound's Global Underground party for the launch of Felix Da Housecat's GU Milan album in May 2008.

Stellar Music 38 : HAC LE (Chicago) - Auralism Records, Listed, Play Co Music, Ampprod, Global Trip

Ever since he took control of his Catholic High School’s dance committee and started spinning the new wave and early electronic music he loved, DJ Hac Le has been exhorting audiences to dance, and audiences have listened. The listed resident & Auralism’s multi-talented Creative Director is a man of many hats, from world-traveling DJ, to promoter, to up-and-coming producer.

The Vietnam-born Le spent the ’90s kicking around LA, absorbing the spacey, mind-warping West Coast sound and putting in a three-year residency at Melrose’s Kontrol Faktory party. After relocating to Chicago, giving up on and subsequently rediscovering DJing, he began producing his own dark, tech-y tracks under the name Kyaro with new ally and future Auralism founder Jason Short. (Le currently has several solo and collaborative projects in the works.)

In 2000, Le co-founded Global Trip, a Mexico-based company that has imported everyone from Lee Burridge to Deep Dish to Dimitri from Paris; he also forms the heart of Play Co. & Friends, a cadre of producers, artists, and DJs who promote Chicago’s underground scene through parties, radio shows, and podcasts. 

Still, the turntables remain Hac’s true passion, reinforced when John Digweed chose Hac’s mix as the winner of FutureMusic’s Next Big Thing DJ contest and James Zabiela in the recent DJ Mag poll named him "Breakthru DJ of 2008". 

Le’s sets, which will carry him around the globe in the coming year, are where his longstanding infatuation with dance music comes alive. "On one hand, I have the Chicago house influence, on the other, the nearby Detroit techno, and my West Coast background. It all comes together in a very nice fusion which people enjoy and seem to have a hard time categorizing!"

From an avid clubber who spent most of her weekends soaking up the club scene in Singapore and around it's region since the 1990s, to quite a lovely beat-serving jock behind the console, pleasing the palattes of the masses and inspiring people to listen and dance without prejudice; it seems to be yet another natural progression for this chocolate addict whose influences includes Aldrin, DJ Sonny, Effen, Dennis Ferrer, John Tejada, Tiefschwarz, Andrea Parker, Henrik Schwarz and Joris voorn to name but a few.

A rapidly rising talent surging out of Singapore into the global arena, EJ is one of the youngest self-taught DJ to hold a weekly residency at the morrocan-inspired Balcony Bar and making various appearances at Q Bar Singapore, Coccolatte, PURE@Ministry of Sound, Amino, Aurum by The Clinic, and notably, Kandi Bar by Hed Kandi, pushing the myriad kaleidoskopes of House and the simplicity of minimal. She have also graced the decks of Ministry of Sound Main Arena and Hacienda for corporate events.

Truth is, she is not Magda and she does NOT make the tea. But she can make you cry with her deep and soulful electro styling, all while maintaining her diversity without compromising on her signature attitude and flawless technique.

When not on her toes as an event programmer and a marcom exec, she breathes by the dj consoles, meddling with the sound of house, deep house, tribal house, tech house, minimal, progressive, techno, and almost everything in between. The future sees her as being intimately involved in her very own music and video productions.

Stellar Music 28 : PAKO & FREDERIK (The Netherlands) - Sitrep, Global Underground, Majestic Music

World renowned flying Dutchmen Pako (Sekander Raisani) & Frederik (Frederik Borgesius) have been part of the international dance scene for over 15 years now, gaining worldwide recognition for their productions, dj’ing and live sets.

Pako and Frederik joined forces in their early days to produce numerous club-hits such as: ‘The Magic Shop’ and ‘Seaside Atmosphere’. Since 1996, Pako & Frederik's early releases on their own label Majestic Music led to immediate worldwide recognition, leading to numerous requests for their remix work on labels such as Nervous, DMC, Acetate, Dorigen and more.

They were also working with the GU brand closely and had released several singles for the label, such as ‘Beatus Possessor’, ‘Western Approaches’ and ’45 Minutes’. The duo was first featured on Global Underground in 1999, when John Digweed included their track ‘Blue Steel’ on his GU Hong Kong album, and then followed by a couple of signings on his prestigious Bedrock label. Their tracks have featured on compilations mixed by: Sasha & Digweed, Carl Cox, Anthony Pappa, Jerry Bonham, Derrick Carter, Remy and Slam and the duo finally released their own mixed compilation in 2002.

For this reason, they were chosen to launch Global Underground’s music imprint GU Music, which is Global Underground’s artists based label for singles and albums. Their first album was entitled ‘Atlantic Breakers’.

Since 1995 Pako & Frederik have performed live at international festivals like I Love Techno, Dancevalley (mainstage in 2004) and at numerous clubs worldwide such as Amnesia in Ibiza, Bedrock in London and Zouk in Singapore. More recently they have played live sets in Mexico, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and the Dominican Republic.

In 2006 they started a new label called Sitrep. The first two releases are by the boys themselves, using their family names: Raisani & Borgesius. At the moment Pako & Frederik are busy working on their second album for Global Underground, and on several twelve inches and remixes for various labels.

Stellar Music 26 : POLE FOLDER (Belgium) - Bedrock, Mashtronic Records, Frisky Radio

Much like the film of the same name, 2001 was a Space Odyssey for the underground club scene as thanks to John Digweed, Pole Folder was introduced to the world with his debut single 'Apollo Vibes' becoming a genre defining classic in the years that have passed since.

This was followed over the course of the following year by the AA single 'Enter The Rhythm/Waxxx' and a third single, 'Dust', a track that many hold in high regard even to this day. From there, EP and single projects followed on such labels as Sunkissed Records and Mo-Do Records, whilst Pole Folder spent much of the next two years focusing on an artist album he had been commissioned to do by John Digweed, making him the first artist to produce an artist album for the prestigious Bedrock label.

The album, 'Zero Gold' featured collaborations with Brooklyn singer and songwriter Shelley Harland, fellow Belgian Sandra Ferretti and Kirsty Hawkshaw, and the album's blend of downtempo moods, brilliant melodies and cinematic soundscapes have earned it critical acclaim all across the world.

It's testament to this fact that tracks from the album have been licensed for use popular shows such as 'Nip/Tuck' and 'CSI'.

In the live arena, Pole Folder's career as a DJ and live artist continues to grow and has seen him perform everywhere from Europe to America and Asia, with such places as Miami, Moscow, Monaco, Tokyo and Buenos Aires just a few of the places he's been invited to perform, and this continues to increase on a monthly basis, with live tours and DJ gigs planned for the future in various continents of the world.

Pole Folder performs in Zouk Singapore this weekend - a night not to be missed!

Stellar Music 20 : JUSTIN (Subterrenean/ Singapore)

It was during the mid 90s when DJ Justin discovered DJs Sasha and John Digweed through their excellent releases on JDJ and Renaissance, both who have been and remain a source of inspiration.

His musical taste and style was further influenced after he left for Melbourne, Australia to pursue his studies (1997-2004). Apart from giving him his first taste of playing out, the city with a vibrant dance culture also molded his current preference for less mainstream sounds.

==================

DJ Justin will be spinning at Stellar Music's 1st Anniverary Party 1.0 @ Phuture (Zouk Singapore) on Friday 9th March. All subscribers to this podcast are invited! Pls email kelvin@stellarbookings.com for complimentary passes. Each invite admits 2.

==================

A typical set from him these days includes anything from minimal deep house to driving progressive sounds, incorporating bits of funky tech-house and breaks and even the odd classics.

Equally comfortable whether playing to an intimate small room or taking it up a couple of notches in a main room, his has played in various venues including The Warehouse, Dome Club, Billboards Nightclub, The Milkbar, The Cage, Sirens Nightclub, and The Bunker Lounge in Melbourne, and Fuse, The Tunnel, Home Club, The Sound Bar, and The Liquid Room in Singapore.

After taking some time away from DJing in 2005/06, he has since returned to his passion again and looks forward to moving into production in the near future.

Stellar Music 19 : G-SPOT SHANGHAI Presents NESHPROJECT (Shanghai & Class Club Shenzhen)

Inspired by the electronic music revolution of the early 90s and having an interest in mixing and music production since he was 16 years old; Eddie aka Nesh Project has managed to turn this "interest" into a mixing fury that drives the dance floor wild.

After 3 years living in China, Eddie has had a very influential impact on the clubbing scene - not only as a DJ but as a promoter. Eddie has recently shared billing with some of the heaviest hitters in the global dance music scene not to mention the support from Djs such as Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Sasha, Judge Jules, Hernan Cattaneo, Stephane K, Christian Smith, DJ Kai & Joachim Garraud.

He currently has 2 full-time residencies in China- Class Club in Shenzhen and G-Spot in Shanghai which he is not only the Resident DJ but also the Music Director, not to mention his radio experience with 2 years under his belt hosting his own shows as the 1st foreigner in Guangdong province.

When he brought in superstar John Digweed to China in Nov 2005, Eddie played alongside Digweed at every stop on the tour, setting the tone for the Chinese debut of one of the world's most sought after DJs. The last stop on the tour was a massive party with more than 10,000 people where the 2 legends Sasha & Digweed played back to back and yet, Eddie was there providing the support.

In May 2006, Eddie launched 2 huge tours with Paul Oakenfold & Hernan Cattaneo in cooperation with Chivas as sponsors, playing all major cities in China. Eddie played alongside the two legends at every stop on the tour. Paul Oakenfold's journal said, "The atmosphere is very alive though slow to build, Eddie Nesheiwat has the floor heaving as Paul took over slowing the tempo down before cranking it up!"

Born in the small town of Xanthi in Greece 28 years ago, Kosmas Epsilon is considered to be one of the world's most talented & upcoming producers.

Furthermore, Kosmas's material has been released on Heavy Rotation, Precinct, Audiotherapy, EQ Grey, Alternative Route, Deep, Secret Planet, Babylon, Hatch Music, with gigabytes of tunes to be released in the near future.
