Proper Heat – Just A Little Bit (Joe Morris Remix) [NANG Recordings] by Joe Morris

Live mix recorded at last month’s Polaroid by OOFT

2009 was the year Ooft Music rose out of the Glasgow underground. Together with The Revenge on thier Five20East and Instruments of Rapture imprints they unleashed a simmering hotpot of exclusive edits, deep-as-you-like house, forgotten funk, 80s boogie and more. When heroes as diverse as Todd Terje & Prins Thomas through to Chris Duckenfield & Laurent Garnier are digging the music, you know you’re on to a good thing.

In support this month, Pete’s 50th are an ad-hoc party currently causing a stir in East London. The plan is… there is no plan. Operating out of Dalston sweat-pit Visions whenever they choose to, recent guests have included Soul Clap, Cage & Aviary and Serge Santiago.

We have been featured on the rather excellent Warm HQ blog, with a little write up accompanied by a recent DJ mix that includes two of our own tracks. Check it out.

This month’s podcast comes from Greg Wilson who’s been kind enough to share his live set from the club last month with us.  As we’ve come to expect from the man, it’s total quality from start to finish, with plenty of Greg’s edits, mash ups and overdubs from his trusty Revox machine throughout.  Enjoy…

Wire has been nominated for best small club in DJ Magazine’s Best of British awards.

After the huge Greg Wilson night last month, there is no let up in quality as we present The Glimmers to rock Polaroid this time. Hailing from Gent in Belgium, Mo & David have been Djing for 20 years and have been responsible for some the best mix CDs around. Their DJ Kicks and Fabric albums are seminal mixes showcasing their dirty, sleazy & punky disco sound perfectly and reflect their DJ sets which are full of fun with emphasis on the party. This will be one not to be missed…

Naive Melody Mix

To help us with the launch of our brand new Funktion One sound system, we have invited a true legend of the dance world.

For the uninitiated, however unlikely that may seem, Greg Wilson made his name in the 70′s and 80′s where he was a pioneer of the predominantly black electro-funk sound at seminal Manchester clubs like Legends and Hacienda, where he was the first ever resident DJ. Credited with starting it’s first dance night he helped the club develop its reputation as the home of cutting edge new music. He was also the first DJ to mix records live on TV on The Tube show in 1983, and went on to produce and co-write the Street Sounds ‘UK Electro’ LP in 1984, as well as compiling the ‘Classic Electro Mastercuts’ LP in 1994, cementing himself as an oracle of the genre.

Despite these successes, in 1984 Greg retired from DJ’ing to face a new challenge. Returning to the DJ scene in 2003, the Music Is Better Night he played in Manchester that year proved to be a catalyst for him, and Greg has been in demand from club nights across the world ever since. Such is his popularity with a newfound legion of fans young enough to be his children; Greg released the popular Credit to the Edit in the summer of 2005 to great acclaim. He has also released a number of disco re-edits on the Tirk label with a follow up to Credit to the Edit due this autumn.

This is a chance to catch a true legend at work. With Greg’s trademark Reel to Reel tape machine, live edits and exquisite music selection of old and new tracks coupled with our brand new Funktion One sound system, this promises to be a night simply not to be missed.

El Diablos meanwhile have been throwing delighful parties on a disco, house, balearic, whatever tip in various Manchester establishments for the last six years. Currently residing at The Deaf Institute they have hosted revered guests such as Maurice Fulton, Rub N Tug, Todd Terje and many others, while regularly playing across the UK and beyond.

Promoters and resident DJ’s Joe Morris and Nick Smith met through a mutual love of disco and acid house and have channeled this passion into running Polaroid, which has gone onto to become one of the most respected nights in the UK. Not content with programming cutting edge line ups, the pair have secured gigs of their own at some of the most esteemed clubs across Europe such as Fuse in Brussels, Dublin’s Pod and the End in London, earning a reputation as some of the most respected new DJs and tastemakers in the north of England. With gigs at Snowbombing and Croatia already under their belts this year, and more exciting dates being added all the time, 2009 looks to be quite a year for them.

We are playing at L’Escalier club in France tomorrow night, the show will be broadcast live on Awdio tomorrow night from 2am – 4am. Tune in if your up…

We were delighted to have been asked to play at the first Airbound festival in Petrcane, Croatia last month. Here’s some pictures and video’s of some of the frivolities. Airbound pics courtesy of Scott Dunwoodie.
