Hype. A word often loosely bandied about in clubland without much merit, but in the case of our next guests one which is justly deserved. Weirdo Police are no wet behind the ears, fly by night producers with one debatable hit under their belts;

Mat Playford and Tom Gray have been in the dance industry for over 10 years and boast several successful projects between them. Mat was the co-founder of the legendary Play Music record store in Leeds and has to date collaborated and released tracks with Darren Emerson, Tim Deluxe, Paul Woolford, Sandy Rivera, Robert Owens, Pete Herbert, Clive Henry and Steve Kotey. Mat has played across the globe from Ministry of Sound to Space and held his own with any big hitter you care to mention. Tom meanwhile, a diverse and accomplished musician in his own right is a record producer in the mainstream working across multiple genres for such major labels as Sony, Warner Brothers and Atlantic Records.

Now the pair are ready to unleash their live project Weirdo Police on the world. Fusing together live electronic funk, cosmic disco and a smattering of balearica all held together with good old fashioned acid house values, Weirdo Police have already released some well received singles on 2020 Vision, Bear Funk and Lo Recordings which have to date drawn features on them in style bibles i-D and New Order. Their forthcoming debut album is imminent and features guest appearances from Kathy Diamond, Mercury Music Prize winner Talvin Singh and Crazy P�s Danni Moore and is currently courting major label interest. It looks set to be the soundtrack of the summer, backed up with some exciting live shows consisting of decks, fx, guitars and vocoders at Brighton Beachdown, Space Ibiza and more summer festival dates to follow. Quite frankly, you�d be a fool to miss them play an electrifying, intimate live show at Polaroid before things inevitably blow up for them later in the year.

I’ve realised that I don’t champion enough new music on here, and just lately I have been overwhelmed by the amount of great stuff there is out there. So, I’ve made a conscious decision to rectify that forthwith.

First up let me present Hardway Bros to you, a wonderful DJ and production duo that have really been floating my boat of late. Their recent mix for Beats in Space with Lord Wetherall is one of the best I’ve heard, and this led me to dig a little further. The pair have released a cool edit on Beard Science and have releases slated for History Clock; a label that first caught my attention with their awesome Woman 12″. Keep an eye out for A Diabolical Liberty which is due to drop soon; a seriously heavy balearic disco chugger. The guys also have a website, Trackwerk, with a glut of strong DJ mixes that you should definitely cast your ears over. The live mix at Disco Bloodbath was a particular fave of mine. Check it out below:

This month sees our first gig in Brussels at the world renowned Fuse ; kind of like Belgium�s answer to Fabric. So we are massively looking forward to that!

Friday February 6th is our first party of the year back at our home Wire in Leeds with the rather excellent DFA darling Jacques Renault. Disco, house and plenty of re-edits will be the order of the evening.

Saturday February 21st sees our spin off night Is This Disco? launch at the Elbow Room in Leeds. We aim to soundtrack your evening with a delectable selection of disco bombs, future funk and forgotten house gems. We shall be dusting off our 12�s, digging deep for long lost classics as well as providing fresh new electronic funk and disco.

Friday March 6th we�re back at Wire and proud to present you with another Leeds debut. Disco Bloodbath will be leaving their east London bunker for the trip north to lay down some �ecstasy disco� at Polaroid. Do not miss.

Rounding things off for us this year we bring you a UK debut from the latest talent to emerge from the French electronic scene. Discodeine are Pilooski and Benjamin Morendo. Hailed by Ivan Smagghe as �the real sound of Paris�, their releases on their own Dirty imprint have steadily been gaining praise from the more discerning circles of dance music with their quirky cosmic edits and electronic funk, which culminated in a stunning label showcase at the Sonar festival in Barcelona this summer. Their �Ring Modulation� release from earlier this year was played in any credible club you care to mention from house, electro and minimal DJs alike and has since been followed up by their delightful remix for Metronomy. Along with the likes of Joakim and Chateau Flight, they are flying the banner for a new wave of exciting Parisian DJ�s and producers and we are delighted to have them play their first UK show at Polaroid.

TODD TERJE

Polaroid is back at our Wire home after being on the road of late and we have lined up a belter. Todd Terje makes up the holy trinity of Norwegian nu-disco producers along with his peers Prins Thomas and Hans-Peter Lindstr�m. Born Terje Olsen in Mj�ndalen, a rural outpost in Norway he later moved to Oslo where he adopted the Todd Terje moniker in a sly nod to house pioneer Todd Terry. At 27 he has racked up more re-edits and re-works of old disco, house and pop tracks than you can shake a dusty 12� at. From Chic to Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon to Jose Gonzales, Terje has gained a reputation for putting an original dance floor spin on long forgotten gems. It�s not just his re-edits that have caught the ear; 2005�s �Eurodans� was a soaring piece of blissful disco-house that put him on the map, his remix of Lindstr�m�s �Another Station�, an electronic masterpiece and this year�s huge rework of Simon Baker�s �Plastik� with its overdubs of Eastern percussion and live elements hint at him maturing as a producer. Do not miss this rare chance to catch him play in our intimate space which we guarantee will be a treat�

In support the Night Flight boys take time out from throwing the best parties in Dublin to get things started with a fusion of electronic disco and house. The guys have put on some exceptional parties this year with the likes of Joakim, Prins Thomas and Francois K, so they know a thing or two about good music. To complete this month�s line up, Bobby returns for his first Polaroid gig since his triumphant set at Bestival.

Part 1

So for the benefit of our readers, tell us a little bit about yourself. Who are you and where are you from?
Hiya! I�m Casper, from Brighton. And I now live in Camden and work for the Lock Tavern and Adventures in the Beetroot Field.

You�re a guy who appreciates lots of different music. How would you describe your DJ�ing style?
My style is focused on ensuring I don�t accidentally press the cue button on the CDJs at any point. As for what I play, I�m not afraid to call certain elements minimal or deep, but I have had to play to all sorts of crowds in the last two years, and I don�t mind giving people a teensy bit of what THEY want as well. I want people to recognise a few and not recognise a few!

Any plans to get into the studio and record some of your own material?
As well as my day job, which I enjoy and work very hard at, I also work very hard at my DJ career and am trying to expand my knowledge (new and old) and develop my technique all of the time. I haven�t quite conceded that a career in DJ�ing is beckoning, so for now, I can�t see where it will fit into my schedule. I do, however, have a string feeling of what my music might sound like when I do get around to it, and I have already tapped up a few engineers to show me the ropes when the time comes.

Bloggers has seen a wealth of talent grace its decks, many now firmly established acts. Who�s your tip to make it big next, any great new talent we should be looking out for?
I am a fan of the art of DJ�ing above all else, and I think that although there�s a huge gulf of talent in London, there are a few people who have the right balance between good taste and good technique.

The latest Blogger�s Delight resident, 17 year old NikNikNik has certainly impressed me. Stopmakingme from AITBF has shown that the art of the warm up is not truly lost.

Skull Juice, as I have been saying for two years now, are the most innovative and genuinely brilliant young DJs in the country. On their day they�re unbeatable and they have made a conscious decision to live in poverty, in pursuit of their art.

I want to give a separate �shout out� to Tomboy and Fredski who are making the music I can hear in my head, and they�re hopefully set to take the world by storm. It�s like a combination of percussive house with British bass sounds, and quirky touches and breakdowns. Fantastic stuff.

As someone who has embraced and encouraged the blogging community, how do you see things progressing? It seems there are more and more blogs springing up all the time and many of them are throwing up the same music and copying what others are doing better.
I feel proud to have played a part in the emergence and subsequent �golden age� of blogging culture. Many of us got poached by a confused and scared record industry who wanted to figure out what we were doing, and try to control it from the source.

It�s hard to say what impact this will have on the music industry in the long run, but for now it�s made it quite easy to separate the conscientious DJs� from the guys who just like standing in the highest point in the club, and it has also brought welcome attention to many artists that would otherwise have fallen by the wayside by now.

So what tracks never leave your box?
None of them leave my CD case, because it�s the biggest one in the world! However, a few tracks (off the top of my head) that will never leave include Carl Craig�s remix of Falling Up by Theo Parrish, Ho�s Get Down by High Powered Boys, Spastik by Plastikman. In fact, there are just far too many classics, some of which you�ll hear at Polaroid!

And what stuff are you digging at the moment?
At the moment, everything by Duke Dumont and Brodinski of course, some deep house sounds from the Oslo label, Innervisions, Mountain People and Brother�s Vibe, some of Joe and Will Ask�s tracks are promising on a techy tip.

I�m obsessed with an Anthony Collins remix of Kreon and Lemos, I�m enjoying the innovative work on DIYnamic from the likes of Stimming and H.O.S.H, and also an awful lot of guilty banging pleasures, such as Crookers, Proxy, Popof, occasional Dusty Kid records and my friend Matt Walsh�s work as one half of Clouded Vision on Turbo.

You put together lots of different events and parties, if you could pick your dream line up what would it be?
I�ll have to think about this one. I�d want it to be a glamorous affair, with a hint of nostalgia, some girl power, and some ridiculous basslines, not to mention a long forgotten chill out room.

Where�s the strangest or most unusual place you have played?
At the blue lagoon at midday in Iceland, in freezing cold winds while everyone swam and jumped all over each other, like an American frat party!

What have you got planned for the summer?
I can�t wait. I am scaling back on London gigs in order to focus on my T Bar residency (with Matt Walsh and Skull Juice) and the August bank holiday Blogger�s Delight event.

I�m also involved in running a tent at Glastonbury (with AITBF), a Bloggers Delight tent at Field Day and a gig every week or so, including twice at Razzmatazz in Barcelona, the end of season party at Culture Club in Gent, a post Fuji Rock event in Tokyo, the Loop Festival in my home town, Brighton and gigs in Bristol, Birmingham, and hopefully, beyond. It sounds like a lot, but it�ll be the most relaxed schedule I have had in a long while, thank God!

Enjoy

For our end of term party we have for you Casper C and Skull Juice, promoter and residents of London�s Bloggers Delight crew; a night created to purvey the hottest new music on the blogosphere, a place for like-minded people to party and a platform for up and coming international talent. Bloggers has played host to some of the biggest movers and shakers on the scene at their monthly knees up at Camden�s infamous Lock Tavern. The likes of Justice, Simian, Yuksek, Brodinski, SebastiAn & Duke Dumont have all dropped by before going on to greater things…

SKULL JUICE
In addition to residing at Bloggers Delight, Skull Juice promote their own Walk The Night party at the Amersham and have become famed for a series of acclaimed podcasts entitled Skull Juice Radio. Their talents have garnered them dates at some of the most respected nights in the country such as Bugged Out, Trash and Fabric not to mention gigs all over Europe and a tour of Australia. The pair have also spent a week touring with Mystery Jets and have been receiving praise from none other than Erol Alkan.

CASPER C
As well as heading up Bloggers Delight, Casper is also the main booker for artists for Adventures In The Beetroot Field�s many events from Fabric to Glastonbury, promotes regular nights at one of London�s newest and exciting venues The Amersham Arms and is also a member of the hip Parisian Fluokids collective, so it�s fair to say the lad knows his onions.

Broken Hookers Mixtape

Polaroid & Love Beats come together to bring you one of the hottest new players on the nu-disco scene; Maelstrom.

You may well have already been treated to some of his glorious re-edits of The Pointer Sisters but it was his storming re-work of the Metro Area classic Muira, which was hammered by Optimo and the Glimmers that brought him to the attention of Prins Thomas, Lindstrom and the rest of Scandinavian disco fraternity. But most recently he has been signed to the excellent Eskimo Recordings label, and with forthcoming releases planned for Prins Thomas� Internasjonall imprint and Reverso 68 this is your chance to catch one of 2008 rising stars in an intimate and most of all FREE party! The Revolution Bar on Call Lane with its spacious outside courtyard should be the perfect setting to the Balearic vibes on offer as the warmer weather approaches. Dont miss out!
