House 4 Soul @ Omeara Saturday 24th March
Headling in the house room alongside our residents Matt L-S and Jamesey from Makin’ Moves we’re very excited to have a best of British DJs this month in the form of Neil Pierce and Sy Sz. Neil has been pioneering the soulful house movement in London for over 20 years. His Deep Into Soul events are notorious and have become the main stay of London’s recent soulful and deep house music scene. In the studio Neil was one half of the dynamic duo Fanatix in the early 2000’s releasing an album on BBE Music in 2008 ’This Thing Of Ours’ a house album that still gets a lot of plays today. In 2013 alongside hot beat maker and producer Ziggy Funk they formed Rhemi Music and been releasing quality music ever since working and collaborating with high brow artists including Han-lei, Carmichael Musiclover, Vanessa Freeman and Nicole Mitchell.
Sy Sz is one of the busiest djs on the UK circuit, and more recently on the festival circuit in Croatia and Ibiza with Defected Records. A man who has mad love for the music he plays & makes, and his passion shines through in any of the sets you will hear him play. By day he’s A&R manager for Soul Heaven Records (Defected) and you can also catch him on Thursday nights with his radio show on Mi-Soul Radio and we look forward to welcoming Sy to his House 4 Soul debut!
In the Mi Soul Connoisseurs room you’ll find resident JM alongside guests from Mi Soul Radio djs Jigs and Stretch Taylor plus Mr Undercover and Big Yoot returns.
