Vollständig: Defected Records current DJ /producers unite with seminal DJs Frankie Knuckles, Inner City (LIVE) and MK to bring you the contemporary and classic house sound of Detroit, Chicago and NYC to AIR this ADE.
The influence of the original pioneers of house music has never been more keenly felt than in 2011 with a return to the classic sound. The majority of the year’s breakthrough artists owed much of their popularity to artists who first introduced the scene to the world’s dance floors in the late 80’s.
For their inaugural ADE event at stunning new venue AIR, Defected have brought together three of the biggest names in house music, Frankie Knuckles, Inner City LIVE and MK. With Knuckles originally from Chicago, Kevin Saunderson and Inner City from Detroit and MK from New York, we have a unique opportunity to sample the whole spectrum of House at one event. Their sets will undoubtedly contain well loved classics, but this is not a classic house night. The DJs maintain their position as the best in the world by constantly seeking out the freshest and newest bombs setting the standard for contemporary producers to follow.
All the above can all be counted as part of the elite group of DJs that are regarded as the founding fathers of today’s scene. It was their influence that shaped House music as we know it, from genre-defining records such as ‘Big Fun’, ‘Good Life’ , ‘4th Measure Men’, ‘Burnin’ ‘Tears’, ‘Your Love’ (a record that DJ Mag just voted No1 in the top 100 most influential house track of all time). Hitting you with equal force are their contemporary productions making them more relevant and respected than ever. It was Frankies’ re rub of Hercules and Love Affair ‘Blind’ that signalled his renaissance. Kevin Saunderson is due to release a beautiful contemporary Techno track called ‘Future’ so well produced that almost every dance DJ regardless of genre will play it. As for MK, his influence on producers like Maya Jane Coles and now some pop culture acts cannot be underestimated.
Most spectacular of all is the exclusive performance of Inner City LIVE, originally formed in 1987 by one of the founding fathers of modern techno, Kevin Saunderson. The group – comprising Kevin Saunderson, Ann Saunderson and Paris Grey – are responsible for some of the best-loved house records of the last 20 years, the records ‘Big Fun’, ‘Good Life’ and ‘Pennies from Heaven’ represent a monumental era of dance. Inner City is considered one of the most influential dance acts of all time.
Twenty years on MK has maintained a near unprecedented level of credibility within the underground dance music scene, with records such as ‘Burning’ remaining staples in the wallets and boxes of house DJs the world over. Through his timeless productions, MK has influenced a new generation of producer, with the result that his sound is more relevant today than it ever has been.
Defected has a reputation of expertly presenting classic with new and will showcase its full spectacular roster at this event. Here is your chance to see new Dutch kid on the block Franky Rizardo as well as DJ royalty in the form of The Shapeshifters, Chocolate Puma, Treasure Fingers and label boss Simon Dunmore. Finally check out Defected’s first ladies Sam Divine and Rae who will be performing a live PA on the night.
The party will take place at Amsterdam’s newest club, the stunning AIR which in the last year has won awards for Best Sound System, Hottest Club and Best Use of Technology. Conceptualized by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, AIR is one of the most visually impressive clubs in the world, and we look forward to what we are sure will be a truly exceptional night and a highlight of this year’s ADE.
