Friday's post

Its been a pretty manic week, lot of academic stuff going on that i shall not go into due to the simple fact that it isn't that interesting, unless you have a keen interest in the development of the Sonnet.. no, didn't think so.

But a great week for building Houses and House music in general.
Loving the new site and the feedback has been great. Always open to criticism/ suggestions/ general praise (the latter especially).

Happy to report we will be bringing you features on a personal favourite of mine who is taking the Electro-House scene by storm at the present, PORTER ROBINSON. The guy is young, fresh and litteraly about to explode with fresh material. Check out his Beatport topping 'Say My Name' for the context and get ready to meet the future of Electro-House.

Joining me again is Anthonio Piacquadio (used to be DJ A-Luv). If you read our first feature you may well know that Anthonio is one of the key figures behind the legendary NYC instalment of Sankeys that will be hosting the hottest parties for the Big Apple from early next year. This time around we talked New York City, the thriving but once thwarted club-scene and Piacquadio's studio and DJ work under his new (but original) alias. Always a pleasure to talk to this guy and the copy will speak for itself.

Our lead features for next month come from the legendary figurehead of Toolroom Records, Mark Knight, as well as the innovative and incomparable Trance/House force Sander Van Doorn. Two very big players in my life/ career. Thrilled to have them on the site.

Later this year we will be catching up with the Legendary Louie Vega, Holland's freshest home-act Afrojack, Bedrock legend John Diweed, Cadenza's exciting trooper Reboot, the infectious Aussie producer Yolanda Be Cool, Toolrooms glowing contender Thomas Gold, the Zimmerman approved Moguai and so many more!

WISH I WAS AT ADE. But alas, education calls for one final year. Fuck that for reality.

All the best, the utmost love and respect, and don't forget to stop by my gaff ;)

New look, New artists, NEW NEW NEW

Hectic week or so of revamping but the finished article is looking good... may be changing again next month but we wont be shutting our doors as a result.

Anyway, here are our three features-

The hilarious and ever popular Laiback Luke- http://www.thehousedanbuilt.co.uk/#/laidback-luke/4544713409

Mr nice of British House, Seamus Haji, who chatted to me about Big Love Records- http://www.thehousedanbuilt.co.uk/#/seamus-haji/4543193206

and not forgetting Aussie chart-toppers TV Rock- http://www.thehousedanbuilt.co.uk/#/tv-rock/4544715364

These were some really satisfying interviews with me. TV Rock where a new but great breath of fresh air and i really would urge people to check them out. They have truly exploded in Aus and i reckon they will do the same over here.

Seamus and i chatted whilst i was in Ibiza back in July and patched the pieces up over the next two months. I admire his work at Big Love and generally his dedication to the trade.

Luke was on my radar from day one and he lived up to expectations- funny, charasmatic and yet pretty damn professional.

We have a couple more articles coming with the charming D. Ramirez and Chicago entrepreneur/ House DJ and vocalist Ron Carroll. Both great guys who are doing something truly special. Cannot wait to bring you these features!

some good news for our Aussie cousins with Armin only in Melbourne and the SummaDayze festival- big names in the sun all the way! We also have a sneak peek at the new Tensnake 'Coma Cat' video, check this out here- http://www.thehousedanbuilt.co.uk/#/tensnake-coma-cat/4544715672

Anyways- peace out and keep posted through here :)
