  • Spectrum head honcho, Pete Jordan talks to Godskitchen

    1) Hi Pete, thanks for doing this interview, what have you been up to recently?

    No problem. Recovering from a mental 2008, and just preparing for another hectic year full of DJ gigs, Spectrum events and whatever else comes up I guess. I’ve also been spending some time producing as well, which has been long overdue.

    2) You are the promoter of Spectrum, tell us a little about it, how did it all come about?

    It’s funny, I still don’t consider myself as a promoter. I was (and essential still am) just a DJ who decided to put on parties to try and showcase his own sound and put on the acts that I like. It all happened by accident 8 years ago in Nottingham, and it’s all gone from strength to strength. These days I effectively oversee the brand, rather than directly promoting it per se.


    3) If you had to think of a favourite Spectrum memory from over the years, what would it be?

    Man, that’s a hard question. As I’ve been so involved from the start, I’ve seen pretty much everything. From overseas tours, road blocked events with touts selling tickets for 5 times the value outside, to all kinds of inspirational performances and crowds. For me, the best times have come with me on the decks, controlling the party and loving the music along with the crowd.

    4) Any embarrassing stories from over the years? Any dirt you want to dish on anyone? Any axes you want to grind? All in good taste of course, now’s your time……

    I’ve seen some funny stuff – people doing odd things in clubs, DJs too, most I’d rather forget about. The worst thing is dealing with far too many acts who have lost a sense of reality and where they started out. Names? No chance, all publicity is good publicity for these acts who think that they are bigger than people who come to see them.

    5) What have you got planned for Spectrum in 2009 then?

    First big event is January 31st at Air, then February though to March sees us get on the road for our ‘8 Years in the Game’ tour. Hitting our regular haunts across the UK, plus a few special one off events. A couple of weekender events at Pontins in March, then onto the summer season. More overseas shows and a returnto a rather special festival in July, not to far from Birmingham! ;o ) The rest of the year, we’ll have to wait and see!


    6) On a more personal note, what’s going on with you these days? Are you happy to concentrating on Spectrum or will we be seeing your name in lights in the near future too?

    I think anybody who promotes events has to be happy to sit in the background a little, however as time has gone on, it’s become more difficult to just play the support role. The crowds keep getting bigger for each of my sets and stepping into the starring role seems to come naturally. I’m a totally different person when I’m DJing. Due to having a top team who work with me to push the brand, I’ve been able to focus more on my DJing, and more and more bookings seem to come all the time. I can’t lie that the intention is to keep going higher up the bill, yet I’m still very selective about where I play. I guess I’ve been spoilt with the amount of top events I’ve played at in the last few years.


    7) Times change and things have moved on a lot in the UK dance scene in recent years, where do you see it going over the next few years?

    I started going out to clubs in 1995 and I have seen a lot of the worldwide club scenes. As long as people are on this earth, they will want to go out and dance – simple as. Yes, trends and tastes change, but that’s half the fun of it. It you stick around for too long and don’t develop in a positive fashion then you quickly become a dinosaur. People who say it isn’t how it used to be are accepting the fact that they have gotten old and forgotten what it is like to approach each night with an open mind and ready to enjoy yourself.


    8) If you could have any super power what would it be?

    I would definit

  • An Introduction to Eric Prydz.........

    [IMG]http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...

    ERIC PRYDZ IS ON A ROLL AT THE MOMENT, WITHOUT DOUBT LEADING THE WAY. HIS LABELS MOUSEVILLE, PRYDA, & PRYDA FRIENDS ARE POSITIVELY BRIMMING WITH UNDERGROUND CLUB HITS. ERIC IS NOW IN CHARGE OF THREE HIGHLY RESPECTED LABELS WHOSE RELEASES ARE IN FEVERISH DEMAND, CONSISTENTLY SELLING HUGE QUANTITIES OF VINYL WHICH IS TRULY INCREDIBLE IN THE MARKETS CURRENT CLIMATE. THE LABELS ARE ARGUABLY PROVING TO BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FORWARD THINKING IMPRINTS CURRENTLY EXISTING.

    Each label was strictly developed to give Eric a platform to release his own productions without outside interference, simply his music on his terms. It was important for Eric to step back after his previous successes and release music without schedules and pressure. Ultimately he wanted to control his own image & destiny, something extremely important to him and his career.

    The ethos behind the labels was truly underground, scarcely any promotion, no press intrusion and true label/design identity… a formula which has proven massively successful!

    [IMG]http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...

    Releases on his more hard-edged Mouseville Records under the pseudonym Cirez D have been tough and powerful a throw back to the underground techno roots his native Sweden has become so famous for. The huge demand for this label has been nothing short of amazing with his massive ‘Knockout EP’ selling over 18,000 copies on vinyl alone. The more melodic based Pryda imprint showcases his early house influences with harmonies, melodies and hooks fused with his trademark powerful basslines. Pryda & Mouseville are solely for Eric’s own productions, vehicles to develop his sound a sound that has become so influential, constantly imitated and copied but yet to be bettered.

    Therefore Pryda Friends was created to release friend’s productions as currently there was no other outlet for the growing list of tracks submitted to Eric by his close colleagues. Collaborations such as the hugely successful Paolo Mojo “1983” & Axer “123”/ “321” written with fellow Swede Axwell proved the worth of this new imprint.

    Then just recently he became the first ever artist to be given the green light to sample Pink Floyd as his massive ‘Proper Education’ fused “Another Brick In The Wall’s” school choir chorus into a UK & European chart smash for Ministry of Sound. Eric has proven to be an artist that can actually fuse commercial success with underground success, something previously impossible to achieve and sustain.

    It was always the enjoyment of working with music that kept Eric coming back for more. From making music on the piano aged 8 to convincing his parents to buy him a keyboard so he could make his own Depeche Mode tracks it was always “just a bit of fun.” However, with his debut artist album set to hit the world this summer, Eric’s key loves of house, techno and electro will see him bring all of his styles under one roof for the first time as his underground club roots come to the fore. A bonefide global chart smash in the making, it’s surprising just how far a bit of ‘fun’ can go.

    [IMG]http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/o...

    Going back to 1994 Eric became the drummer in a synth band called ‘Enemy Alliance’, touring Sweden and dreaming of becoming the next Kraftwerk. He jacked his job in, hooked up with two friends who had a small studio set up making more pop based material and lived the next two years virtually penniless - working on his own hard-hitting, techno-funk tracks and DJing locally when gigs came up.

    Eric’s first release came about almost by accident. Having made a bunch of new material solely on a Roland MC-505 Groovebox he gave a cassette to a friend who ran a clothing store in Stockholm. Eventually finding its way to the London offices

    Godskitchen presents “Al Fresco”, the biggest event ever held at Air Nightclub in Birmingham! The show takes the whole Air complex to a new level as a giant festival outdoor mainstage is erected in the car park boosting the capacity of the event to a whopping 4,000. This will be the first time an event of this scale has been held in Birmingham outside of the NEC by Godskitchen and all the stops are being pulled out to provide a night to remember for all in attendance. Godskitchen call upon their mighty army of fans to come and witness history in the making! Imagine standing with 4,000 of your best mates with the summer nights sky above, listening to your favourite DJs and you're halfway there!

    Voted the world's number one DJ - ARMIN VAN BUUREN will be taking centre stage on the awe inspiring outdoor structure in what will be his only UK appearance before the summer! He is going to be joined by one part of the massive Swedish House Mafia and one of the leading lights in the house music scene around the world right now - AXWELL. Expect to hear exclusive material from his new album! House luminaries MARK KNIGHT and KIM FAI are also on hand to deliver the soundtrack to the evening; both DJs have been churning out the productions by the bucketload recently and one look at their tour schedule will tell you just how busy they are. A true testament to their global popularity….

    On the inside things get even hotter as the Oxygen room of Air nightclub is taken over by a who's who of Trance music right now. MARKUS SCHULZ and GARETH EMERY have proven to be massively popular with the Godskitchen faithful so it only seemed right to get them both back for this landmark occasion. Both sitting comfortably inside the top 10 DJs in the world right now, their popularity has hit fever pitch so who better to headline such a special occasion! Joining them will be a man who has been tipped for the very top by many and has propelled himself into superstardom through his onslaught of productions and his dazzling performances behind the decks worldwide, JOHN O'CALLAGHAN has the world at his feet right now. MENNO DE JONG has been dubbed 'the latest installment from the Dutch production line of DJs' and it doesn't take long to see why, his presence behind the decks is as mesmerising as the tracks that he plays whilst Godskitchen resident extraordinaire MARK ETESON rounds off one of the strongest Trance line ups you will see anywhere this year.

    Last but by no means least, the Nitrogen room welcomes the usual suspects as fellow Godskitchen resident MICKY SLIM brings his party sounds to the masses and are joined on the evening by Godskitchen favourites SONNY WHARTON, STEVE L and DUNCAN MURRAY.

Armed with the fastest fingers in the west Eddie Halliwell will be on hand to whip the dancefloor into a frenzy with mindblowing turntable trickery and his usual showmanship. This coupled with Godskitchen's faithful followers is surely a recipe for one hell of a party?!?! Well there's only one way to find out.......
