Hello all and welcome to another edition of the MPFS mail out. It's been so long since we sent one out I imagine those who no longer frequent the board have forgotten us. Well it's time to jog your memory as we put on a joint event with Discover Records and Prehab. The 12th of September will no longer be known as the day Leo Szilard conceived the idea of the nuclear chain reaction (true story, look it up), it'll be remembered as the day we FINALLY lived up to our promise and let past DJ competition winners play an event.

Skint? We know the feeling. That's why we’re offering facebook members a chance to win tickets amongst other goodies. All that's required is joining our facebook here

Want more info? Read on.

On September 12th 2009 the heavyweights Discover Records, MPFS and Prehab join forces to deliver a night to rival all that have come before it.

John Askew will take the reins and be leading the way in the main room alongside other leaders of the industry such as Activa and Ben Gold. The Discover label has consistently released chart topping hits that have received world-wide recognition and John Askew plays for the biggest names week in week out such as Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery as well as massive international gigs.

John has also found the time to release two phenomenal albums and is currently producing a third, had releases on every reputable label and also appeared on the legendary Radio 1's essential mix.

He's in good company with Activa who is currently cementing his place as one of the most successful producers on the scene today. Each release he brings out seems to be making waves among his peers and clubbers alike which led to one of the world's most famous DJ's, Paul Van Dyk, seeking his skills to remix the all time classic anthem "For an Angel".

With others like Ben Gold, a producer that is being championed by Armin Van Buuren's State of Trance radio show, Sly One and Jurrane who have been catapulting to success after being signed to Discover records and not forgetting David Murtagh who has been instrumental in Prehab's success, this room is sure to be raising the rafters all night long!

Room Two, hosted by Prehab, is certainly going to try and give the big boys a run for their money. Having grown from a small night to a brand that was being chased by the Gallery to host a room for regular nights, Prehab has proven itself when it comes to producing top quality events. Focussing on bringing the new shoots through and growing them into massive names they continue to keep their finger on the pulse win over the London masses. Rob Mooney, Dave Irvine and Gary Optimum lead the pack in delivering yet another smasher!

Cerebral will be gracing the dance floor of room three bringing their own unique flavour of breaks and dubstep to this already awesome night. Headlining and fresh from BLOC 2009 and Glade Festival is iTAL tEK, a DJ and producer that is carving a niche for himself with his own brand of dark atmospheric sounds.

Alongside him you'll find a live PA from Phase 2 which is sure to blow your socks off as it does with crowds at The Cross, Ministry of Sound and The Gallery, a truly gargantuan display of cutting edge electronica.

Supported by the likes of MC Tayong, Oxynucid, Ursa, Hefty and Tate Simister this room is set to be pumping from start to finish!

We've a few releases in the coming weeks, here's your chance to sample the goods and have your say. Now normally I'd give a speech as to why you should buy our material as apposed to download it illegally, I'm not going to do it this week. I'm leaving it up to you, you do what you feel is best. Sure you may starve us and yourself in the long run when we can't afford to pay for remixes, but seriously, the decision is yours. Don't let us influence you in anyway.

Dennis Sheperd is on fire at the moment. With previous releases on labels like High Contrast Nu Breed, Method (Baroque) and MPFS Records and remixes for Mike Shiver, Abbott & Chambers and Alucard he has built a high profile discography over the last few months, and this is just the beginning!

"Run Away" is Dennis' next single on the legendary label Euphonic. It will include remixes from Alucard and Store N forward. The original mix is a symbiosis between progressive House and Trance with a breath-taking break and a dancefloor-destroying centre-part. Alucard offers a club orientated House version that is deeper than the original, something certain for Sander Van Doorn fans! Last but not least Store N Forward deliver an uplfiting Trance interpretation and turn "Run Away" into a driving monster.
Release is set for 23rd September.

On Friday, 10th October, Dennis' guestmix in Tiësto's highly acclaimed radio show will be aired! Make sure you cross that date in your calender and prepare for some hot tunes. "Club Life" is broadcasted 22:00-0:00 CET every Friday on Radio 538. For more informations check out www.radio538.nl.

Dennis now officially hosts the MPFS Records trance show every second month hand in hand with Cressida. The show is aired 18:00-20:00 CET every 4th friday a month on di.fm. His first appearance will be in the October session on 24th October. Be prepared for some action!

With forthcoming remixes of "Store N Forward & Duderstadt - Broken" (Afterglow), "Air Hustlers - Flowers From Heaven" (Bandung / Armada) and "Jason van Wyk & Vast Vision - Oceanblue" (Alter Ego) Dennis was really busy this summer and wasn't resting at all. You can also await some other remixes that can't be announced yet! Keep your eyes and ears open.

Sander Van Doorn - Supernaturalistic

Whilst I'm trying to sort out an interview with the fast become legend that is Sander Van Doorn I thought you'd like to know he has a new album out, available in the usual places, hmv, beatport etc. We've had a few SVD tracks come through MPFS towers, Riff and By Any Demand to name but two, all received good feedback. Check out the press release below and head on over to download stores now for your copy.

Get ready for a summer of epic proportions as the UK’s most revered club brand storms back into the festival market after a 6-year hiatus, with a phenomenal statement of intent. With 2008 set to celebrate two decades of acid house, the back drop is set for a true celebration of electronic music past, present and future. Gatecrasher was a defining moment in the history of club culture and The Summer Sound System 2008 will see them back on centre stage with a spell binding line up, magical production and fresh, new vision.

Returning to the site of summer’s past, the event will take place over 2 fun filled days in Northampton, on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May. The bank holiday blow out will be peppered with surprises and a dizzyingly diverse selection of the world’s finest artists and talent all with the highest production values the UK has to offer.

First up, seminal electro/rock band The Prodigy, renowned for their incendiary live performances, will be headlining Saturday’s shindig with their unique blend of brutal punk-rock riffs and dark, voodoo beats. World-renowned duo The Chemical Brothers confirm a headline slot on Sunday’s main stage with their unique blend of psychedelia, and electronic block-rockin’ beats.

The music and artists are not the only thing of exceptional quality, this year will also see a new flock of promoters add their own twist to celebrations: with Dirty Disco, Zane Lowe and Tiga, Ed Banger, Hed Kandi, Fantazia all be hosting their own arenas whilst Metropolis and Drum & Bass Arena take charge of the urban flavours, setting the scene for one of the best party packages on the planet.

Music aside, Summer Sound System will be upping the ante with the entire event spectacle. Introducing boutique camping, a 24-hour market place with gourmet food stalls and out of town shopping plus an onsite diary room, supersonic fairground and a veritable feast of additional adventures. Facilities will be second to none with secure onsite lockers, plentiful cash machines, Ibiza angels to massage away your aching limbs and even karaoke for the wannabe starlets.

Interviews

Early last month I exclusively interviewed Lange regarding his latest album Better Late than Never (which incidentally is superb). Unfortunately like the dozy git I am, I forgot to send a press release, so erm, well kids, there’s an interview with Lange available on the site here. Here’s a few exempts for you;

"MPFS - In your own opinion how has the digital age (mp3/cd mixing) done dance music good or bad?
Lange - You can dress it up as a ‘time of opportunity’ for getting music out there as much as you like, but the bottom line is the digital age has made music more ‘disposable’.  People don’t yurn as much for tracks anymore.  I used to hear a track played by another DJ or on a radio show and try and find it down the record shop (often without success).  These days people will just download it on the day it’s first promo’d.  The net killed the whole promotion structure for building a record, but the music industry was making ridiculous amounts of money anyway so it was due a shake up.  Also music was in the hands of A&R guys who quite frankly weren’t always the best people to chose what ‘got out’ to the public!  So it’s not all bad; beside’s, my back doesn’t ache as much as it used to when I carried all that vinyl around.

MPFS - If you had the chance to do the Olsen twins together whilst Keeley filmed the whole event in the buff whilst pleasuring herself, the only catch was all three of them got to pee all over you, would you do it?
Lange - I don’t do water sports.  Not my thing. Besides, I’m very much in love with my Girlfriend (All say ‘aah’!), so it would be a definite refusal, pee or no pee!"

On the subject of interviews we also managed to stuff Menno De Jong in the boot of my car the other day and forced him to divulge in some Q&A’s for the site also, it can be read here with a few exempts below;

"MPFS - What do you prefer, Dj’ing or being in a club and hearing one of your own tracks/remixes played and the crowd going wild?
Menno De Jong - Well, playing my own track whilst the crowd goes wild is incredible of course. But sometimes it’s nice to lurk in a corner anonymously and see that your music is appreciated when others play it out too! I still really enjoy going to parties in general so I don’t mind both really. Basically hearing your tune in a club is one of the best feelings there is so you can’t go bad either way!

MPFS - What animal would you sooner be, a Lion or a Gorilla? Why?
Menno De Jong - Probably a gorilla, I like to grunt and pound my chest whilst putting on silly faces! I spent some time in South Africa a while ago and my girlfriend and friends had a hard time pulling me away from my newfound monkey family in Kruger park!"

For keeping him locked in the boot for 2 days without food or water we’ve agreed to plug Menno’s podcast in return for not calling the cops on us; god bless you!

Menno de Jong launches Intuition Podcast

EINDHOVEN, NL - Dutch rising trance star Menno de Jong has launched his brand new Intuition Podcast this month, which will replace the immensely popular Intuition Radio Show as of immediately. Intuition has always been at pole position when it comes to innovations in music and media; the undeniable emergence of podcasting was a clear cue for them to take on this recently developed hype, which is swiftly proving it’s here to stay!

Menno explains the motivation behind the big change: “It wasn’t an easy decision since the radio show has been doing exceptionally well, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense, I’ve come to love the whole concept of podcasting because it lets you do much more with the content, and reach many more people with more consistency!” He’s hitting the nail on its head, the options are endless: Listen to the podcast whenever, wherever you want; see the tracklist in iTunes or on your iPod whilst the music plays; enjoy pictures from Menno’s travels and performances and much more.

The musical message of the monthly podcast carries on where the radio shows left off: Trance in the broadest sense of the word. Menno’s mixes always tell a story that will make the longest trainride, work assignment or any other daily drag fly by like a jetfighter! With content varying from studio sets, to live recorded gigs as well as high profile guestmixes the monthly podcast is guaranteed to provide an interesting array of sounds for the electronic dance music enthusiast. Whereas the December edition is a ‘no-nonsense’ studio set with some highly exclusive material as well as several top tunes of the moment, the January Podcast will feature Menno’s traditional Intuition Yearmix, covering his favourite tracks of 2007.

How do you subscribe to the Intuition Podcast? It’s very simple:
- Go to www.mennodejong.com
- If you already have iTunes installed, click on the iTunes banner (Podcast Feeds)

If you don’t have iTunes installed or want to check out the Intuition Podcast using another player simply check out the Podcast FAQ on Menno’s website.

Crasher with Sander Van Doorn and Matt Hardwick

Sander Van Doorn You've got to hand it to him - Sander van Doorn is a very gifted individual. His peers claim he is the saviour of dance music, and we can only agree with that statement considering what the 28 year old from Eindhoven has achieved in just 3 years. In rising through the ranks, he’s taken a huge bite at re-shaping dance music as we know it. He is an artist in a league of his own. Once a follower, van Doorn is now a true leader. When Sander started out in his self built studio, neither he nor those around him had any idea he’d end up churning out some of the most in demand dance music on offer. Sander's music, be it as Sander van Doorn, Sam Sharp or Purple Haze is totally accessible. It blends through a multitude of dance music genres and is consumed by the A-Z of the world's DJs. His recent work that includes Grasshopper, By Any Demand, King of My Castle and the awesome Riff have cemented Sander as one of the world's most prolific producers, with all tracks receiving airplay on some of the world's biggest radio stations. He is a one man band who writes, produces and masters his own work, an accolade in itself.

Lineup; Sander Van Doorn, Matt Hardwick, Riley & Durrant, Andy Bagguley

TENORI-ON Launch Party

I’m not going to get all technical on you because I don’t understand the lingo, watch the video though, seems a nifty way of making music or adding that little extra whilst out Dj’ing or something. There’s a launch party on the 4th of September for those wanting to see professionals at work.

Silly question, in gods house!

What Summer festival to do Godskitchen put on each year?

Woodstock

Global Gathering

Cannes Porn festival

In my opinion, maybe I’m wrong, Electro is the Marmite of music genres, you either love it or hate it. If electros your flavour your REALLY going to enjoy this, it has everything for you, good selection of tracks mixed to an incredible standard, not just in terms of beat matching but structure too. If you’re not keen and find yourself standing in a queue at HMV with this in your hand waiting to pay you may as well throw the first disc away... you won’t like it. With so much variety on the second disc you'll find your hard earned pennies have been put to good use, the quality of trance is astounding; one can almost forget its electro!

Crasher Summer Sound System Returns!

Pete Doherty to ditch guitar for decks at dance festival!

Babyshambles, Ordinary boys, Franz Ferdinand, Futureheads, Belle and Sebastian & Shit Disco to Dj at Summer Sound System 2007

Indie hell-raiser Pete Doherty is set to ditch his guitar for a pair of decks taking to the stage for an exclusive DJ set as part of the UK’s most innovative dance festival Gatecrasher’s Summer Sound System 2007 at Lotherton Hall in Leeds on 27th May.

Gatecrasher today announced that Doherty is to headline the Teenage Kicks powered by VK arena alongside Britain’s hottest art-rockers who will become dance floor destructionists for one evening only. The arena reads like a who’s who of British indie stars turned DJs. PETE, representing his band Babyshambles, is joined by Preston from Brighton-based indie-punkers The Ordinary Boys, Paul Thomson from Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, Ross & Jaff from post-punk throwbacks The Futureheads, Scottish indie stalwarts Belle & Sebastian and super-cool punk funksters Shit Disco. Showcasing an eclectic and riotous range of alternative music from these provocative artists whose DJ sets, the arena will provide a new edgy, option for rebellious clubbers.

The indie artists will play alongside the very best global dance DJs including Judge Jules / Mauro Picotto / Mr Scruff / Fabio & Grooverider / Timo Maas / Andy C / Marco V / Dave Pearce / Lisa Pin-Up / K90 and Christopher Lawrence at the festival which is to be staged across 8 diverse arenas - The Teenage Kicks Arena powered by VK/Radio 1 / Crasher Arena, Hed Kandi Arena, Goodgreef vs Sundissential Arena, The Metropolis / Awol Arena, Federation Arena/Dirty Disco Arena and the newly added VK Outdoor Experience

Simon Raine, MD of Gatecrasher commented;

“ There has always been a unique crossover between the world’s of dance and indie music and we want to celebrate this at Summer Sound System in a way that is unique and fits with the whole dance festival culture. There is some quite anarchic about members of coolest UK bands becoming DJs, you never know what musical style or sound may come up with!”

Gatecrasher promises to reinvigorate clubland with a spectacular event. Remember the best outdoor dance party you’ve ever been to and you still won’t be close. Anticipate the beautiful, sweeping grounds of historic Lotherton Hall, decadent musical moments, a magical garden-party atmosphere, awe-inspiring video imagery, breathtaking lighting and sound throughout 8 themed arenas and you’re getting closer. Designed by clubbers for clubbers Summer Sound System 2007 promises to be the outdoor clubbers’ event of the year.

Fresh from being voted best new promotion of 2006 by the www.Harderfaster.net users and from a storming start to 2007 with it first party of the year at the Gallery in January, Prehab returns in march with something a little different for the Gallery massive. Girls, Girls, Girls is the order of play for March as we bring you some of the finest female talent that the industry has to offer as The Gallery goes for an all female line up across the club. For the Prehab this month we have picked a few main stayers and a few up & coming djs who we think will do the business for us.



We are pleased to welcome Lisa German & Lizzie Curious as our two headliners this month, Lisa’s reputation as a DJ is second to none along with her productions and her chunky tech -house sound she has rocked clubs all over the world from Singapore to Paris and has already rocked the Gallery on a number of occasions, her sound definitely defines what Prehab is all about and we are delighted to have her down to rock our room! Lizzie is another name familiar to everyone throughout the scene, her blend of tech and electro house and her energy behind the decks makes her a stand out from many other djs and has caught the attention of countless promoters across the land, backed up with some awesome productions 2007 looks set to make the Lizzie Curious name even bigger!



Backing up the headliners we welcome Ilana Belsky to Prehab, another lady making a name for herself over the last few months, her blend of dirty driving tech house is really making people sit up and take notice, another whose 2007 looks set to be a massive one with gigs all over and productions in waiting set to blow up. Next up we have Liz Cirelli aka Miss Deckstress, a women of many talents across the board from djing to her vocal talent for countless producers including her own productions, her mix of house, electro and techno promises to set the room alight this month. Anita is next up, edging more towards our funky techno sound she is the perfect lady to close the room for us, her hub sounds radio show a favourite for techno fans all over and rocking techno nights all over the capital again another to watch this year. Opening the room for Prehab this month we welcome along Tanya Banks, a lady who has already rocked Prehab back in the younger days of The Southside Bar we thought it was time to get her along to Prehab @ The Gallery with her blend of breaks and house and warm the room up nicely.

MPFS Radio

On the 4th Friday of every month you can hear Cressida on the 1's and 2's at Di FM. Each show consists of an hours set by the man himself and a guest mix, this months sees Duende don the headphones.

Tune in at DiFM, last friday of the month at 5pm GMT.

As promised, the second mailer, full of useful site information including the 2005 poll winners, meetups and some stuff about things.

For those of you who’ve not paid much attention to the site, the Dj comp is a yearly battle between onsite Dj’s, forum users are then asked to listen to each dj’s mix and give a rating out of ten. Been running a few years it has, however the last two years determination to win has stepped up some, this year bribes and threats were made by various people, heck one Dj threatened to stab my mum in the face unless I gave him 10... RIP mum, you were fab. Anyway, the winner this year was none other than Rj. Well done petal, may you bask in the glory of getting away with rigging the comp. To everyone else who entered, thank you for taking the time to mix us up a set, very much appreciated. And to those who voted without entering, you are fantastic, we love you all.

Happy Birthday to old skool favourites Dazman and Foxy.

After having a storming year moving from its Thursday night slot at the end of 2005 to a monthly residency at The Gallery in early 2006, VACCINE celebrates its 1st Birthday in style by taking over the whole of The Gallery, Turnmills for another spectacular one of a kind event.

The formula of cutting edge dance music, the best djs and producers from UK, the rest of Europe and the World showcased to die hard trance fans whilst supporting local and homegrown talent has seen VACCINE ram out T3 month on month at The Gallery. It has also won a legion of fans from loyal clubbers, trance enthusiasts and leading DJs such as Eddie Halliwell and Judge Jules.

Since VACCINE launched in T3 at The Gallery, it has showcased DJs such as Ronald van Gelderen, Kyau vs Albert, Martin Roth, Kuffdam and Plant, Signum, Fred Baker, Alex MORPH, Sean Tyas, Niklas Harding, Cosmic Gate, Simon Patterson, Lange, Yves Deruyter, Dumonde, Jon O Bir, Phynn, Cor Fijnemon and many more, often being the first night in the UK to book many of them.

VACCINE has always supported local homegrown talent, eager to give opportunities to those who deserve it, such as Frase, Jurrane, Ben Gold, Karl G, Mike Harris, Paul Mayes, Alex Buck, Gary Optim, Mat Lock, Joey V, Alan Banks, Simon Bostock, Adam Coppack, Owen Clark, Dan Stone, Greg Blaquiere, Dav Gomrass and many more along with their renowned residents The Viceroy and Ben Beaton.



Such has been the success of VACCINE that in September 2006, The Gallery invited VACCINE to take over the whole of Turnmills for The Gallery pres VACCINE. One of a very small minority ever allowed to take over one of the leading club nights in the world, VACCINE put on one of the most daring and cutting edge trance lineups ever witnessed in the UK across all three rooms. It included the likes of DJ Yahel (Israel), Johan Gielen (Holland), MIKE (Push) (Belgium), Ronald van Gelderen (Holland), Lange (UK), John O Callaghan (UK), Greg Downey (UK), Marc van Linden (Holland) and many more.

The birthday on Friday February 9th will be no different in terms of pushing the boundaries and not being afraid to showcase the very best music provided by the very best artists to an up for it and knowledgeable crowd.



VACCINE has come a long way and won many fans in its efforts to do the above. Evidence of this can be seen by the range and quality of those who have worked with the night including collaborations with Serious, Black Hole Recordings and Recoverworld (Discover). VACCINE even attracted one of the stars of 2006 Sander van Doorn, who gave up his Saturday afternoon, to fly in as Vaccine’s special guest at the www.harderfaster.net 2006 Xmas Party.

No other trance promotion commands the respect of clubbers, promoters, agents and djs alike quite like VACCINE does.

VACCINE is proud to be different, proud to be one year old and proud to present...

Lineup:

Flash Brothers, Matthew Dekay, Martin Roth, Fabio Stein, E Craig, The Viceroy , Gary Optim, Stel, Alliance, Alex Tomb, Simply Nick, Darien J, Profis, Dogzilla (Live) (1/2 hour Simon Patterson Intro DJ set), Kuffdam and Plant (Live), Giuseppe Ottaviani (Live), Frase, Ben Beaton, Alex Buck
