Bang The Box: Easter Sunday FREE ENTRY Special


Bang The Box is Lovebox's occasional and itinerant heavy-duty underground dance party. Having held one-off parties since 2002 in The Ministry, The End, Bagleys, 93 Ft East and quirky venues around town they're getting set to Bang The Box once more; this time in the bowels of the T-Bar.


EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 4TH: 7PM TILL 4AM


FREE ENTRY


FEATURING:
ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD (DirtyBird / Made to Play)
FAZE ACTION (Faze Action Records)
INXEC AKA CHRISTOPHER SYLVESTER (COCOON, REKIDS)
ROSS ALLEN (MELTDOWN)
HOT BLOOD (LOVEBOX)
MOUJ (ALiVE)
MATT SYNTHIA & BANG THE BOX RESIDENTS

This is the first in a series of an ongoing monthly residency with future appearances scheduled from Groove Armada and a host of the Lovebox weekender DJ guests.

The line-up represents some hot new blood as well as leading exponents in their fields; starting with multi-talented production duo Zombie Disco Squad who take House in a new direction with influences from Baile Funk, African rhythms, Baltimore, Hip-Hop, the so-called fidget sound and making it sound fresh and with no cheesy gimmicks.

Next up Faze Action; pioneers of the new-disco sound since the mid 90's and still top of their game as demonstrated with their latest album, ‘Stratus Energy’, widely hailed as one of the most exciting records of 2009.

The Techno angle is well covered with Inxec, whose tracks released on Cocoon get hammered by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, and Luciano; meaning he probably needs no further intro….

Pitching the curve balls will be major all round talent, Sony Radio Award winner, and one of London’s most well known faces on the music scene Mr Ross Allen who's distinguished himself in many fields from DJing to radio presentation, A&R to label management and beyond.

With a similarly eclectic approach to programming come Hot Blood duo Fillary & Butterfield, who having co-founded Lovebox in 2002 have regularly been playing as the Lovebox All-Stars, flying the flag for the festival's underground dance roots.

Finishing up the line-up in fine style with his groove laden energetic mix of techno and house is Jaded resident Mouj, alongside the upcoming Matt Synthia who represents the next generation of DJs familiar with their history and comfortable with crossing genres to devastating dancefloor effect.

Whatever religious or musical persuasion we'll be jacking for Jesus at this free party on Easter Day.

Bio: Matt Walsh

Matt Walsh


Matt has resided with Turbo Recordings after being seen by Tiga at T-Bar in London. His residencies also at T Bar and Bugged Out! have allowed him to tour the world with his trademark sound of Electronic House and Techno through to New Wave, Acid House and Disco.


In production, as well as alone, Matt has been part of the duo Clouded Vision, formed alongside long term studio partner Steve Cook. Their initial remixes on Turbo Recordings, Mute and Process Recordings gave them the success and drive for Matt to set up Clouded Vision Recordings. They have since produced 2 EPs and are currently signing other forthcoming acts. Clouded Vision have received great support from stellar artists including Ivan Smagghe, The Revenge, Tensnake, Erol Akan, Photonz, Tiga, Cosmo Vitelli and Luke Solomon to name a few.


While Clouded Vision brings out the slower tempo and disco aspects of Matt’s style, his peak time tech house sounds produced alongside Hypercolour Records label boss “Alex Jones” have pushed him towards the main slot and late night set in many clubs, where he is seen at his best. Their combined work on a remix for Peaches on XL records has already been played on Radio 1’s Essential Mix and supported by Andrew Weatherall, Laurant Garnier, Tiga and Paul Woolford. Further remixes have followed on Turbo Recordings, Kitsune and Wax:On and again have been played by DJ's across the globe.


Matt's first solo productions, characterised as late night Techno with a propulsive and percussive energy will be available throughout 2010 with an EP on Wax:On's label, Turbo labelmate Sei A's label "Seinan Recordings" and a remix upcoming on Southern Fried.
