Mark Jones and Wall of Sound
Mark Jones is the founding father and visionary behind alternative, independent record label Wall of Sound – the label that has brought us acts as diverse as The Propellerheads, Black Twang, The Bees, The Wiseguys, Royksopp and Les Rythmes Digitales.
Wall of Sound started out producing electronic music genres such as big beat and ambient, but has now diversified to include some indie and hip-hop artists with a revised roster of acts including artists Soulwax, Mogwai, Laurent Garnier and Reverend & The Makers amongst others.
The Glimmers
The Belgian DJ duo The Glimmers will be heading to Joshua Brookes in Manchester on 10th July to host the second event in the series, with rumours already circulating of a legendary hip hop pioneer making a special appearance on the decks.
Giles Smith and James Priestley (Secretsundaze)
San Miguel Hidden Depths then returns to London for the remaining events. Giles Smith and James Priestley will be taking a break from hosting their infamous Secretsundaze parties to bring their trademark underground house sound to T-Bar in Shoreditch on 31st July.
Chromeo
Next up, electro-funk duo Chromeo will be leaving their respective bases in New York and Montreal and inviting their friends and inspirations to join them at The End / AKA on 21st August. Chromeo earned rave reviews supporting Bloc Party on their British Tour and recently played a sold out gig at London's Koko.
Fred Deakin (It's Pop It's Art )
The final event for this year will be held at The Amersham Arms on 18th September. With a line up led by It's Pop It's Art – a unique collaboration between DJ and designer Fred Deakin's design company Airside and EMI Records – guests can expect an audio visual treat, as It's Pop It's Art has been responsible for creating visual cover versions of some of the most important songs in pop music.
