Citizen debut at FACE Meets ART this coming Saturday…

by Scott Bleepz

We’re very pleased to be hooking up with our friends from ART this coming Saturday night and we’re also equally buzzing to showcase a debut at FACE with up & coming London-based house chemist - CITIZEN. With his love for 90′s house and hip-hop, two Boiler Room sessions alongside the likes of Kerri Chandler and Krystal Klear, a string of energetic releases including ‘Room Service’ and his debut EP on Kerri Chandler’s MadTech label. We caught up with him a few days ago to bring you this nice little interview, below (so read on).

//You can buy tickets HERE btw.

You’re now a firm member for Kerri Chandlers MadTech records, what is like having your music loved by the great man himself?

Well he’s an absolute hero of mine so it’s a real honour of course. Makes me work harder. Try harder.

Do you have any thoughts on his recent blast at The Rex Club towards electro acts like David Guetta?

Ha! No, not really – Just one of those moments, I wasn’t there so I can’t comment – But the sentiment expressed I totally agree with – and fuck it, whatever, it’s Kerri he can say what he likes, twice.

What further releases can we expect from you in the near future?

My next Love Fever Release is incoming this month. The next Madtech is coming out in April and a rather large project to be announced fairly soon, as well as multiple collaborations and side decks. Busy Busy Busy!

Being invited on The Boiler Room was a clear sign of your musical talents, what was the experience like? 

Hot and sweaty, I can still taste the Red Stripe. Family vibes, on both occasions. I was in great company, that always helps.

You have a lot of huge gigs coming up, none more so than your debut at FACE here in Birmingham, are you excited for the show? 

Yeah I’m excited, I have a bunch of friends in Birmingham so I reckon it’ll be great – heard amazing things about it – Plus Lakosa is from there and we’re gonna do shots.

What can we expect from a Citizen set?

We ask Lee Brinx…

by Scott Bleepz

Ahead of his dj set this coming Saturday as part of the Lower Agency event along with Rebel & Jamie Trench, we caught up with Lee Brinx (one of the co-owners of the label) for his views on how things are going and what he has to look forward to in the very near future…

Your musical knowledge stems way further than just dance music, your very instrumental and I hear you were brought up on Motown and Soul, what made you step over to dance music originally?

A visit to my cousins house at the age of 12 was the turning point. He had a set of turntables and was mixing hardcore and jungle, I’d never heard it before and was facinated.  I was intrigued but the complexity of the beats, it go me hooked straight away.  I left that day with a bag full of tape packs and within 6 months had traded my guitar in for a set of decks!

Lower East has rapidly become one of the most talked about labels in the UK, how have you developed over the last couple of years?

By constantly trying to up our game. We started off simply releasing our own music and that of our friends.  We then started to pull in various artists we respected for remix duties and quality of product increased. We constantly strive to improve our output, to find better, more forward thinking music.

Your latest release on the label has had huge props (with a nice Droog remix too) how would you describe it? 

The original of Listen is a raw, emotive deep house track with a contemporary forward thinking aesthetic. Heady, shuffling drum rhythms lead the way alongside elongated, warbling sub-bass and a tight blend of vocal lines, all intricately delayed and modulated to create an intense evolving dynamic. The Droog remix takes on the form of dark, melody driven house as expected from the  LA based Culprits. The second track, ‘Stalker’, embraces a brighter, deep-house feel with swung 909 drums and a bumping tom-driven bass-line. Cozzy cleverly manipulates an amalgamation of vocal one-shots to create their own melody entirely, further fueling the weighty groove.


What can we expect in 2013?

We have some great packages lined up for this year so far including remixes from the likes of MK (Marc Kitchen) and Timo Maas.

You will also return to FACE in Birmingham this month, you must be excited for the show?

Yeah for sure, I look forward to every show to be honest, my set for Face last year was well received, so I’m hopefully this year will be no different.

Why do you think FACE has become one of the leading brands?

The forward thinking booking process, great venue, vision and drive of Lee, Elliott, Scott and the Team.

Finally where else can we see the label and yourself in the Winter?

Over the next few months I’ll be in London, Kent, Moscow and and I have a tour of South America planned.

You can catch Lee and the guys playing this coming saturday as mentioned. We’re really looking forward to it, it’ll be a nice vibe in our Courtyard for sure.
