DJ REDEYES (Bingo, Creative Source, Innerground, Brigand, Spearhead, Good Looking)

Redeyes emerged as a DJ on the French drum & bass scene in 1999, quickly gaining a reputation for his eclectic selection and tight mixing skills. In 2001 he formed part of the Audiabrasive collective and soon embarked on a number of residences in Toulouse, supporting the likes of Fabio & Grooverider, Bryan Gee, Dj Marky, Ray Keith, Craggz & Parallel Forces, Bad Company, Nu:Tone, Commix, Break, Kemal, Ruffstuff..More recently bookings have extended abroad, from the legendary Swerve sessions at the END nightclub, Movement @ Bar Rhumba, 1xtra BBC radio (guest to Ldouble connection show), to Tokyo, Bangkok, Pekin, Munich, Paris, Moscow, Auckland, Berlin, Budapest, Madrid, Ljubjana, Vienna....

Initially listening to hard rock as a kid, Redeye’s ears soon caught onto hip hop as it emanated from across the Atlantic and into France during the late 1980’s. Record digging culture then unlocked his ears to the wider gamut of Afro-American music – jazz, soul, RnB, dub and funk, while an open-ness for the rapidly developing landscape of electronic sounds drew Redeyes to the jungle sound.

It was only fairly recently (2003) that Redeyes’ passion for music urged him to take the step into production, and his rapid development is a testament to the effectiveness of tools such as AIM and readily available music production software, which have proved powerful catalysts to emerging talent these past few years.

Today Redeyes’ productions are played by Roni Size, DJ Marky, Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, LTJ Bukem, Fabio, Grooverider, DJ Zinc, Bailey and Nu Tone, his tunes get regular support on radio (Radio One/ 1Xtra, Kool FM, Life FM, Origin FM..) and with releases on Bingo, Creative Source, Innerground, Brigand, Spearhead, remixes for the famous Tru Thoughts records (home of Alice Russel, Quantics, ect)... ...it looks as if we’ve only just heard the tip of the iceberg in terms of his output.

His debut album has just hit the streets on Spearhead records, with some mighty collaborations (Random Movement, Mutt, Matrix remix, Deeizm, ect)... look out for more infos @ http://www.myspace.com/redeyesdj

Message out:

Tickets have sold out!!!! Only free door sales are left to the most awesome drum and bass party ever!!!!!

Unbelievably the gig is actually this Thursday (or today, if you get this tomorrow?). Cue informercial: Not only have we gone ALL out by putting on another FREE international drum and bass artist, but we've also taken production for this event to the next level using no cheat codes!

We've completely transformed the Carpark Bar by installing extra lighting, huge visual screens with cameras - and most importantly - put in place some HEAVYWEIGHT sound reinforcement to keep your chest's rattling all night long!

But WAIT that's not all - while stocks last you'll get to snap up $5 drink specials early on in the evening courtesy of Export 33 & Jagermeister, how long they will last - no body knows, but it pays to get in early because that along with $5 gourmet pizzas just cannot last!

As for Redeyes - the absolute king of French liquid funk, you'll get a chance to score some sick Skull Candy headphones along with the opportunity to get a taste of the lush sound heading your way Thursday night by tuning into into George FM (96. from 1PM-2PM on the Thursday Selectah!

But hey - most of you already know how amazing his music is, so here's the part you're after..

7-9PM - DJ Munk (BooshFM)
9-10PM - Rhyas (UPFM)
10-11:30PM - Emma & Jess (George FM)
11:30PM-12:30PM - Lincoln Hawke (The Mashup Mafia)
12:30-?? - Redeyes (France)
?? - Close - Phixx b2b Rhyas


KEEP IN MIND:
If there's one thing you take away from this message - it's that getting in earlier will benefit you in multiple ways. A majority of the giveaways will be happening earlier in the night - courtesy of our sponsors, it seems a majority of people always tend to turn up at 10:30PM on the dot (that's generally when we hit capacity) - avoid this by coming in earlier, secure your place on the d-floor or get your Pizza on! More importantly, you might even get a chance to meet the French madman in person before he jumps up on the decks!


Alright, so that's it people - this Thursday, get in early - it's free entry, BRING YOUR ID, and make sure you write your 'late excuse' on a piece of paper keeping it in your pocket so that when you turn up to work on Friday morning late you won't draw a blank when explaining to your boss why you look like you just had the best night of your life!

Can you tell I'm excited?

See you all there!

Thursday 11th June - Free Entry (Bring ID!)
