Due to the somewhat overwhelming demand, we’ve had a chat with our boy Hot Since 82 and he has kindly agreed to play at the official ‘Knee Deep In Sydney’ After Party at the ArtHouse š
So if you missed out on Greenwood tickets, all is not lost although we don’t expect these tickets to last long so please don’t make the same mistake twice.
As if that wasn’t enough to get you pumped up our friends over at Dig Deep Productions are pulling out all the stops with the production for this one including the use of the same sound system used on the main stage at Electric Gardens Festival .
We are about to take the Arthouse experience to a whole new level with this event, expect to be seriously impressed!
HOT SINCE 82
UK Born and raised in ’82, his formal DJ education started at 17, playing 12-13 hour sets each Sunday at a club in his hometown Barnsley ā with queues round the block, as his residency soon became the number one afterparty destination for clubbers from far and wide. āIād have four crates of records and Iād never play the same one twice.ā As word got around, the next stop was a 2006 residency at Cream Ibiza in Amnesia under the banner of Leeds club Glasshouse. But while his love for Ibiza never wavered, the difference between the sounds he was being asked to play and what he really enjoyed was becoming impossible to bridge. ā2003 was the first time I went to DC10,ā he remembers, āby 2007 I had really got into a more underground sound.ā
His heart no longer in the music he had made his reputation playing, Daley stopped producing and stopped DJing all together. Thankfully for house music lovers everywhere, it didnāt last. In 2010 he āwalked into the city centre of Leeds and just started going raving again. Good quality house music was back!ā And it was a night out that got him back in the game. āI went to Ibiza with the lads that summer, and we were at an after-party, when the music stopped I put my iPhone in and a record I had made came on. It had just been lying on my hard drive for a couple of months ā I hadnāt planned to release, or to start DJing again.ā The response on that night convinced him to try to release it, so he contacted his friend Danish DJ/Producer Noir, āLet It Rideā came out on Noir Music that very summer. It flew to the top of the deep house chart just as the new style of bass-heavy, garage-influenced ādeep houseā was exploding. Hot Since 82 was born.
Since then Hot Since 82ās trajectory has been nothing short of incredible. x4 Pete Tong āEssential New Tunesā, x2 BBC āEssential Mixesā, 2013ās groundbreaking āLittle Black Bookā, 2014ās Knee Deep In Sound mix album (on his new label of the same name), Top 10 Beatport seller of all time with his āBigger Than Princeā remix, Mixmag cover star, performing live accompanied by a string quartet, x4 sell out North & South America tours including Coachella, x3 tantalizing Ibiza seasons and most recently his best trick yet, kidnapping fans for TAKEN, one of the most unique clubbing experiences you will ever have.
