Live mix recorded at last month’s Polaroid by OOFT

Following a long background in music from drumming in high school bands to music PR and several years working at UK online music store Juno, Jay Shepheard first arrived on the scene in 2007 with the release of his debut EP “Black Label 19″ on Compost. With the help of strong DJ support the EP gave Jay a good profile straight off the bat which was built upon nicely with the follow up EP “Black Label 28″. Both of the 4 track EPs received critical acclaim from DJs, music lovers and the press alike and earned Jay a nomination for Best Deep House act of 2007 in the Beatport Mucic Awards.

Along side his studio productions Jay is also building a reputation on the worlds dance floors, using a combination of DJing and Ableton Live software to showcase new, unreleased and exclusive material at venues and clubs such as Fabric, The End and T Bar in London, Hive in Zurich and DIY in Hamburg.  2010 is already looking to be a busy year for Jay with further12″s on the way from Compost Black, a stack of remix projects and his DJ mix of the best Black Label tracks from last year on the 3rd label CD compilation.

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.

If you were in attendance last year at our fourth birthday party you will have heard Joakim tear the place apart with an exquisite set through disco, acid house, techno and some wonderfully wonky electronic gems. Fresh from releasing his new album ‘Milky Ways’ to critical acclaim and touring the world with his live band Joakim and The Disco, Joakim returns to the decks for us to close 2009 in style.

Also this month, and because it’s nearly Xmas we thought it would be fun to have a fancy dress theme; with a twist! Inspired by rubbish presents at Xmas we want to see you all in shit jumpers. You know the sort, jumpers with animals on, jumpers with sequins on, those bad fruit of the loom and naf naf sweaters from your teens, jumpers with outrageous shoulderpads and those mohair nightmares you gran got you in 1989. Get thinking, because the best shit jumper will win free entry into Polaroid for you and a friend for the whole on 2010!

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.

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:

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.
