Guest Mix from Brent Lawson.
This week's guest mix is Brent Lawson, recorded live in Bristol at Blue Mountain Club for Der Liebe. Raised on a steady diet of 80s synth music, Brent has always had one foot on the dance floor.
A clubber first, it was a fateful trip to nearby Arbroath that first opened his mind to the possibilities of electronic music as a DJ: “I had a love for the electronic sounds created by Jean Michele Jarre from that point I was drawn into electronic music.” He says, citing the Rhumba Club a favourite venue from his youth, “This night has informed so many years of my clubbing history and is responsible for everything that I have done and will do.”
With his children grown, Brent was free to refocus on his music and his company, Probtech Management, bringing skills from his day job. Probtech consists of two record labels and a DJ agency serving 16 working artists.
Recent additions to the team, Ingo Vogelmann in A&R and Paul Sawyer in business development, showed how seriously Brent took his brand. Processes were put in place with the stated aim of placing Probtech alongside Bedrock, Drumcode and Toolroom within the industry.
Justrice's Relic on Infinite Depth and Michael Ritter's Tetuan on Dynamica open with Melodic House and Techno. Their measured opening establishes the programme's club-focused first stretch.
Eric Lune's Water Lily on Strange Town Recordings introduces Progressive House before O.R.B.'s It's Just Music on After Dark raises the pressure. That move brings Peak Time Techno into the sequence without breaking its forward motion.
Kiz Pattison returns to the melodic strain with Warehouse Feeling on Dear Deer Dubs. Decode Blue and Taktixx follow with In My Spine on ODN Records, adding Progressive Techno to the middle of the set.
Paul Jove's Holy Illusion on Holy Grail Music introduces Deep House, while Gabriel Nery's Hypnagogia on ICONYC Noir returns to progressive house. Zagitar's Assemble on Truesounds Music then leads into Jay Shepheard's Diode on Gruuv, closing with deep house after another melodic house and techno turn.
