Fridays | June | Bar 54
10pm – 6am
54 Commercial Street London
E1
54 London
After four years of underground parties in our country’s capital, Bar
54 is now not only a hotbed of clubbing activity, but a double edged
record label with a concept as sharp as it’s club bookings.
Tech house forefathers like ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards, solid 4/4 acts like
Soy Mustafa and Italo-bent minimalists like Dandi & Ugo have all had
the 54 basement in the palm of their hands in the past few months ,
and their disparate sounds are to be reflected in 54s new record
releasing arm, 54 Music. The two sides of the label (‘Light’- nu jazz,
deep house, eclectic – and ‘Dark’ – techno, minimal, tech house) will
be showcased at 54 nights, inject a little freshness into the London
circuit in the process.
On top of that, the beloved red basement is also set to host an even
more highly tuned selection of DJs each Friday night from June.
Kicking off the new order are Enzo Siragusa, Raudive, Inland Knights
and Hector.
Having built a solid reputation and following years of credible
bookings, the time has come for 54 to push on. And so the time has
come for you to join in and allow them to nurse you through a whole
new realm of avant-garde electronic sounds.
5 June… DIGITAL DISCO
Enzo Siragusa [Fuse]
Digital Disco aims to strike a balance between the underground and
overground, with a wised-up tech house sound and a friendly
atmosphere; it’s a great way to start your weekend proper.
Headlining tonight is melody maker and driving groove pusher Enzo
Siragusa. For over ten years, Enzo has furrowed in the deepest
depths of 4/4, always keeping dance floors locked with subtle and
dynamic sets.
12 June… TEMPER TEMPER
Reset Rebot (Si+Tec)
54 offers up some dark sonics this month as club night Temper
Temper take hold of the intimate basement and push on into more
unchartered techno territory.
Reset Robot leads the assault still revelling in having one of his tunes
used by Dubfire on a recent DJ Mag cover mount CD. As well as
releasing on Dubfire’s Sci + Tec label, Reset Robot, aka Dave
Robertson, has also released on Global Underground and is a name
you’re set to hear a lot more of. You heard it here first.
Next on the list is Danny Raper, the London based promoter behind
Ketoloco – one of the most successful club brands to have emerged
in the last few years. His pure enthusiasm and untainted pursuit of a
good time has helped earn Ketoloco a place in clubbing history for
their off the wall Ibizan parties, their bespoke raves in the basement
of their Leeds student house and, most importantly, their wonky
minimal and afterhours house soundtrack. Expect italo infused and
contemporary tech, all night long.
Gareth Wyld, Andy Burby and Ashley McKenna are the foot soldiers
providing support.
19 June… WE DANCE
Inland Knights [Drop]
The house party vibe is programmed to dominate at We Dance, but
there’d be no party at all without some quality sonics. Offering them
up tonight will be Nottingham duo Inland Knights. 2020 Vision, NRK
and Om Records (some of the country’s best house labels) have
snapped up releases from these guys, and for good reason. Their
sharp 4/4 sounds are in demand all over the world, as are their
remix skills – don’t miss out.
26 June…. TRACK ONE
Hector [Phonica]
‘Deep as you like’ is the unofficial brief for a Track One night, so who
better to book than the London based boy from Phonica Records,
Hector? Working behind the counter at one of the Smoke’s sharpest
record stores has put Hector in the enviable position of having
unadulterated access to the hottest house and techno from all over
the planet. Known for his ability to hook in a room and never let
them go, his arsenal of tunes includes the best from Rhadoo, Dubfire,
Ambivalent and more, so expect to be taken on a melodic and kinetic
journey.
