The single 'If This Ain't Love' is very different from the sound of your band, are you a big fan of house music? Yes I love house music; I've been a bit of a raver for a very long time and have incorporated many ideas from house music into my band and solo projects over the years. Ministry Of Sound was the first club I ever went to as a teenager, I still feel it holds the best sound system in London, The End Came in a very close second.
We caught up with Subliminal Records label boss Erick Morillo and regular production partner in crime Eddie Thoneick to find out more about their collaboration with legendary Skunk Anansie singer Skin, on their new single ‘If This Ain’t Love’.
Maxem: Christen, student en dj/producer in hart en nieren, maar vooral veelzijdig mens!
Written by Korsjan Punt
Tijdens de kick-off van de eerste editie van het feest House College Ede in jongerencentrum Peptalk in Ede waar Gert in ’t Wout momenteel stage loopt, ben ik in de gelegenheid om een video interview te houden met Maxem. Gert, organisator van House College Ede heeft al een lange geschiedenis in de muziekindustrie. Gert, 26 jaar op dit moment is op zijn 7e jaar begonnen met het maken van muziek. Gedreven, enthousiast en positief gaat hij met zijn passies / werk om. Hoog tijd om hem eens beter te leren kennen. Met op de achtergrond in de naastgelegen zaal de nog dof nadreunende house beats van zijn collega dj/producer Noadja, stel ik hem de volgende vragen.
Kevin Saunderson: 'Inner City one of the biggest dance acts of the 90s'
Written by Redactie
Kevin Saunderson has an enviable dual reputation. To the dance cognoscenti he’s one of the “Belleville Three,” the trio of friends who invented Detroit techno; a gifted producer and remixer under such aliases as E-Dancer; and a tireless international DJ. To lovers of great pop music he’s half of Inner City, who made regular visits to the Top 20 in the late 80s with jubilant hits like Big Fun and Good Life, paving the way for hundreds of underground-to-chart crossover records to come. Now, Saunderson is back in full effect. Inner City have just released their first original material for over a decade in 'Future', while January month sees Saunderson release the first In The House compilation of 2012. We caught up with the legendary DJ and producer to discuss at length creating the first ever remix, how travel broadens the mind, and why this might just be the best mix he’s ever crafted…

MK - the most influential House music producer of our time
Written by Toni Tambourine
Marc 'MK' Kinchen is an artist-producer who straddles boundaries as few others can, partly due to being the protégé of the legendary techno god Kevin Saunderson. On the one hand, he's revered by lovers of house and garage music worldwide. His classic 90s productions such as Burning, Always, K.E.L.S.E.Y's Boy and 4th Measure Men's For You remain floorfillers to this day, as do his 200-plus unmistakable remixes for artists ranging from Bizarre Inc to Blondie, not least his mix of Nightcrawlers' Push The Feeling On, which became one the biggest house crossover hits of the decade. He's cited as an influence by countless leading producers – including, significantly, Todd 'Godfather of UK Garage' Edwards. This pre-eminent status is reflected in the fact that he's the latest artist to be featured in Defected's House Masters series. Here he gives Toni Tambourine a snapshot of what’s going down in his world…
