Dalen Light Presents.. Luke Solomon

[Dalen Light]

Dalen Light returns after a short sabbatical, well rested, focused and ready for 2015 where we will bring you a succession of parties at the infamous Fez.

 

We are going in strong with our first event of the year with the legend that is Luke Solomon supported by Nic James and Carl Dean on Sat 28th Feb.

 

Expect carefully curated house and techno of only the highest calibre, as we focus on what matters… The Music.

 

 

Striding into his third musical decade, Luke Solomon’s influence stretches far and wide across a scene that’s been embedded in his DNA since the early 90s. The rebirth of Classic Records in recent times has brought one of the UK’s most intriguing and respected artists to new audiences, ensuring his fingerprints remain indelibly imprinted on house music.

 

Solomon’s certainly earned the lines around the eyes. His infamous 90s midweek London ‘Space’ parties at Bar Rhumba alongside Kenny Hawkes introduced him to Derrick Carter, with whom he’d go on to form their seminal Classic imprint. As Freaks, with Justin Harris, he’s tasted the dizzying delights and inevitable pitfalls of fame, but in many he’s ways still a throwback to the simpler days when people just played records. “I bear so much of my soul in my music, it’s such a personal thing for me.” Having first started while at Middlesex University at the start of the 90s, he now regularly graces global behemoths Panorama Bar, D-Edge and Fabric, but is just as likely to be found in boltholes in Sheffield, Portsmouth or at Dalston Superstore, where Classic hold an ad-hoc residency. It’s the one element of his career that’s no different from when he was a fresh-faced debutant, and one that gives him just as much pleasure: “just a good ****ing mix, it’s one of these indescribable things”.

 

As a producer, his output spans the spectrum from warm, deep grooves to boisterous dark room techno, on famed labels Crosstown Rebels, Playhouse, Classic’s own expansive stable and Rekids, home to his first album, 2008’s The Difference Engine. His work with Justin Harris as Freaks has seen a prolific output on their eponymous imprint, with their single, ‘The Creeps’ catapulting them into the UK charts. As focus falls into what remains: fresh solo EPs – “just warm, straight up house music” – a well-earned freedom and a bright outlook ahead. 2015 should see a new Luke Solomon emerge: the sung hero.

With January being well and truly kicked into touch we can all now look forward to good times ahead.

Talking of good times we’ve got the one and only Luke Solomon joining us at Fez on Sat 28th Feb.

 

In typical Yorkshire form we tend to shy away from all the promoter bull**** games and let our guest DJ bookings talk for themselves.

If you’ve not heard of Luke Solomon or need bringing up to speed here’s a great place to start: http://lukesolomon.com/

 

We all know a great party requires great people (Hint: That’s you!) We’re focusing our attention on what matters, the music and having a good time. With that in mind we literally gave away tickets to our super fans with the madness of the 1p ticket flash (Pump fist to all of you that secured yours) , with the advance tickets moving along nicely. If you’ve not got yours we recommend you do so and save some ca****o on the door.
