DJ Pierre
Back in the day when acid was just a tab, DJ Pierre was holed up in his bedroom inventing a sound which would impact on the music scene forever. In 1986, ‘Acid House’ was in its pre-infancy when DJ Pierre picked up a 303 and the infamous “Acid Tracks” was born.
Pierre in one of the few artists in the history of dance music that can list Carl Cox, Diesel (X-Press 2), Junior Vasquez, Danny Tenaglia, Michael Mayer (Kompakt Records), and Tom Stephan as fans. His new single ‘The Underground’ with My Digital Enemy is rocking dancefloors alongside his cool new range of tee shirts at www.nowaybackstore.co.uk/collections/dj-pierre
Mancunian electronic pioneers 808 State take their name from the Roland TR-808 drum machine and a common state of mind . The band secured commercial success in 1989, when their song “Pacific State” and since then the boys have been ripping up festivals and events all over!
On The Terrace the PL invite Producers, DJs, long-term music fanatics and now – perhaps most life-changing of all – fathers! Copyright are Sam Holt and Gavin ‘Face’ Mills, the UK duo whose considered and mature approach to house music has earned them a place in electronic music history. After 15 years, Copyright can count a studio album, headline gigs at some of the world’s biggest clubs, their own label Copyright Recordings and dozens of acclaimed singles amongst their achievements. Add to this a longstanding relationship with the mighty Defected Records on which the majority of their music has been released, and it’s easy to see why the name Copyright has become synonymous with quality, earning Holt and Mills thousands of fans around the globe.
