House 4 Soul & Makin’ Moves Saturday 17th February @ Omeara London

Posted on by
House 4 Soul & Makin’ Moves continue their monthly party at the splendid Omeara London set in London Bridge. We come together for the love of soul and house music across two room for a Valentines Special on Saturday 17th February.

Headling in the house room we’re very excited to have all the way from the Atlanta, USA, Kai Alce! Kai is one of house music’s current men of the moment, headling at various festivals last summer and getting a lot of props for some fantastic productions. In his younger years he worked closely with the likes of Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, D. Wynn, Alton Miller and his cousin Chez Damier, he moved to Atlanta and established a strong bond between the house communities of the Motor City and the South. Adding to his resume as a DJ and promoter, he started releasing his own tracks in the early ’00s on labels like Track Mode, Moodymann’s Mahogani, Omar S’s FXHE, Deep Explorer and eventually on his own imprint, NDATL Muzik.

Also, in the house will be Makin’ Moves residents Matt L-S and Jamesey alongside London’s David Bailey who has been hitting the highest lately at Deep into Soul and over seas at Suncebeat in Croatia. His current hit with soul duo Hanlei ‘Runin Me Wild’ has been heavily supported in the clubs and on the radio.

In the Soul room you’ll find resident JM alongside guests Mr undercover, Big Yoot, Nigel B and Simple Simon.

Posted on by

Following our great collaborative party back in November, Makin’ Moves and House 4 Soul join forces once again to kick start your new year in full effect as we come together once again on Saturday 20th January at the amazing OMEARA venue in London Bridge!

Again there will be two rooms of fab soulful music for you and we’re proud to have room 2 hosted by some of the Caring For Claire DJ’s that are playing in the memory of Claire Tomlinson who we sadly lost to cancer in September 2016. Tuesday 9th January would have been Claire Tomlinson’s 37th birthday so we want to continue to keep her memory alive as she would have liked by playing her favour music and her favourite friends coming together to celebrate her life once again..

This years event funds went on a lovely memorial bench that was erected earlier this year and that many of you have visited in the grounds of St Pauls Cathedral so any funds that we raise on the day will go to towards the up keep of the bench and other cancer charities of the Tomlinson family choice.

MAKIN076 – Hallex M & DJ Fudge ft. Omar ‘Ding Ding’ (DJ Beloved Remix)

Posted on by

Glad to have back once again with a fresh remix, our good friend and producer DJ Beloved from BPM Productions.

Ding Ding was first released in 2014 and was a big club hit for us. DJ Fudge has long been a force in the house music scene since his Trouble Men days on the well-respected Kif Recording, and alongside his good friend Hallex M who has carved a notch in the new breed of rare talent over the past years. Both guys had longed to work with UK soul legend Omar Lyefook. And in 2013, their dream came true when Omar visited Hong Kong where Hallex and DJ Fudge both currently reside and there they worked on two tracks which still have music heads talking.

Both DJ Fudge and Hallex are prolific producers in their own right at the moment and you should certainly check out Hallex M’s new Soul Odyssey album which recently dropped on Groove Odyssey Records.
