Being recognised as one of the true pinnacles to come out of the mid 90′s Chicago house music wave, Derrick Carter began his love for music and DJing at the age of 9! During his teenage years he was becoming a more recognised figure within the Windy City’s underground dance scene….it wasn’t long after that, that he was getting regular slots at the legendary Shelter, and Chicago’s infamous Smart Bar.

Derrick’s style of music is mainly rooted in house, but an amazing ability at reading the crowd, he seamlessly drifts into disco and more tech sounds with ease.
Working alongside fellow DJ Mark Farina and Chris Nazuka, Derrick established himself as an international figure in the underground dance music scene, when they released they’re Symbol and Instruments EP way back in 1988!
Since then, Carter’s refusal to accept conventional standards and simply do his own thing, has seen him jet set round the world, rocking crowds with his boompty boomp sound.

This an extremely rare opportunity to see Derrick perform out with his usual Glasgow haunts, so best get there early as the last DC Sessions filled up very quickly!

Support comes from Jane JAYA Ayres, Alan Gray and Frazer Devine with Jer on percussion.

Pre-party will be next door in Chinaski’s from 10pm.
£8 before midnight / £10 after.

2011 was another great year for us, allowing us to bring our usual calibre of high quality guests to the extremely clued up clubbers of Glasgow.

So it is with great pleasure that we will be celebrating our 2nd birthday party in true DC style……..MOODYMANC IS GLASGOW BOUND!!!

A name that you will probably recognise from labels such as 2020 Vision, Tsuba and Neurotraxx, Moodymanc ( real name Danny Ward ), has been delivering house bombs all over the world, most of which have been universally championed by all the heavyweights and have made him one of the most in demand re-mixers around!

On top of all the studio time, he also boasts a live project, the very popular and in demand,2020 Sound System.
Being a jazz percussionist, this live performance sees Danny occupy both drum and production thrones, and its popularity as a whole has seen him grace the cover of DJ Mag, something not to be sniffed at!!

As well as confirming this deep house genius, our venue had to be pretty special too, and they don’t come much better than the extremely swanky Berkeley Suite!
We’re pretty sure you are aware of the buzz surrounding Glasgow’s “place to be seen” late night retreat, what with Scarlett Johansson frequenting there during her filming in Scotland and the mighty Andy Weatherall ripping the place up also…..needless to say, we’re excited!

To add to our celebrations we’ll be holding our pre-party next door, at the equally plush, Chinaski’s.
From 10-12, Niall Findlater, aka San San, will be providing the warm up before we slip next door, where Jane and Frazer plus our guest will be accompanied by our faithful percussionist, Jer, taking us into the small hours.

We’re keeping the door tax to a mere £5, and as we are aware that we all have bills to pay, there will be a limited amount of FREE ENTRY stamps available at the pre-party, best get there early to take advantage!

We look forward to enjoying our birthday with you! xx

We will be welcoming the residents from EQTV and No Sleep, two of the most talked about nights in Glasgow of recent.

We’ll bring in the bells with our burlesque beauty of a host, Lucy Divine, and lets not foget to mention the complimentary fizz for all the early revellers!

Its a big rig, in an arch, 200 capacity, just along the way from the Arches doorway (in case you get lost)!

Yep 2011, it’s boomtime!

His most recognised release to date, A Soul Thing, ruled the top slot of the Beatport charts for six weeks, being recognised by house and techno djs alike around the world.
From there on, his trademark style of deep melodic house has been given huge backing from the likes of Gorge, Shur-I-kan and Jimpster.

It is with great pleasure that we are the first to host Soul Minority in Scotland!

Deep house heads will NOT wanna miss this!

Proud residents of the mighty Vinyl Club, Jim Lamb and Gerry Mawhinney will be joined by two of their most recent additions that will no doubt contribute to their ever expanding electric empire.

Spinning into their 6th year, broadcasting out on Leith FM every Friday from 21:00 – 23:00, the boys have established a huge following, with their down to earth objective, simply to provide the nation with quality electronic music in its many forms.
Unfazed by current trends, past fads or future flavours they have a achieved the goal of constantly providing a memorable soundscape for their loyal listeners.

We had the pleasure of Mr Lamb joining us for our last day party, and let us tell u, if his musical selection and mixing is anything to go by, we can’t wait to hear the rest of the Vinyl Club posse that will be desending on us for the evening!!

As always, the DC residents will present the perfect warm up…..and only a FIVER to boot!

boomtime yet again!

As always, we’ve gathered together a fine collection of spinners for an evening of beats and beers, and with it being the September weekend (everyone off on the Monday we hope!) its bound to be a messy one!

Our guest DJs for this one are:

Alan Gray ( Telefunken / Edinburgh )
Ivan Kutz ( Seasons / Nomad )
Jim Lamb ( Leith FM / Vinyl Club )
Esteban Carracas ( Audio Ice Cream )

along with the DC residents:

Frazer Devine
JAYA
Niko Mendez
and Jer on percussion

Lets get it cranked

Aswell as being an amazing spinner, Andy also runs labels such as Cave Paintings, Dissident and his newest project, World Unknown.

He makes a point of playing only vinyl when he DJs, this is no mere affectation or snobbery, it’s purely through the fact that he believes that music played well from well made 12″s sounds better than any other medium when cranked up loud in a club.

And who are we to disagree??!!  We witnessed one of his mind bending sets at Fabric, just one of the many super clubs he visits on a regular basis, and it was something special to say the least!

Always eager to cast his dancefloor voodoo within new venues, DC welcome him with open arms!

Label owner and producer, Julius Funkhouser will be joined by label mate and DJ partner Steven Coyle (of Tronicsole fame), playing a two hour back to back set of all things deep, along with current and future releases from the label itself.

These local lads played for us a while back at one of our Sessions day parties and they ROCKED it!

DC residents Frazer Devine and JAYA will be on hand to overfill the gaps, and of course, bongo man, Jer, will be supplying the LIVE percussion.

CHECK OUT OUR PROMO MIX FOR THE EVENT THROUGH OUR SOUNDCLOUD LINK!!!

Its boomtime yet again people!!

Our friends at Telefunken through in Edinburgh have invited us over to join them for what plans to be an awesome house party, and a great way to kick off the Edinburgh Festival!!

DJ Sneak really doesn’t need any introduction, i mean, he’s only the dude responsible for inspiring the likes of Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx plus countless others, with his innovation of disco filtered house!  With his sets full of deep, bumpin’ basslines and cheeky little melodies, you’ll walk away at the end of the night knowing that you’ve just witnessed a Sneak set.

We got a Sneak preview (haha) of what we’re in for when we saw him at T In The Park a week ago, it was a very quick hour with lots of smiley faces in the crowd head nodding in appreciation!!  Good news though, with the Edinburgh Festival allowing the license of the club being extended till 5am(!), we can expect a few hours from the big man.

While Alan Gray and the rest of the Telefunken crew will be taking care of warm up duties in the main room, Frazer and JAYA will be supplying the deeper vibes in the front bar, where they will be accompanied by some fine local talent.

Its boomtime again people!

We’re keeping it local by inviting two of our favourite deep technicians to join us, Monty and Von Dug.

Monty has become a regular face at DC over the past year or so, his constantly active sets hit our buttons everytime, blending styles from deep, driving house to peak-time tech! booomp.

Von Dug really made us sit up and pay attention when he played for us at our day gig at the beginning of June. A very talented spinner with an unbelievable selection of tunes, rest assured you’ll be head nodding in appreciation when you witness one of his sets.

Our brilliant beat master Jer will also be on hand to provide the LIVE percussion throughout the evening. His individual contribution to our nights has been well recieved by all, so we’re very much looking forward to more of the same.

Finally, one of the best things about moving into Adlib is the fact that, due to it being surrounded by office blocks, there are no sound restrictions! Our friends at AVL Scotland have promised us something special which will have us all grooving till the small hours. Expect BIG sound!

Looking forward to seeing you all there and please feel free to share this event with your friends.
