Sorry, we just couldn’t resist. Since everyone and their dog seems to be doing end of year lists here’s our top 5 We Love podcasts produced with the capable hands (and voice) of Andy Wilson. There’s also our top 5 behind the scenes type photos from Frank. Drum roll please…
At 5 it’s our closing party special. Plenty of bang for your buck here with 2 live sets and 2 live PAs from our Terraces. Rob Da Bank is in conversation and Adamski performs his classic ‘Killer’.
Can you at least get me backstage! Leaves us wondering what more than backstage would mean.
At number 4 it’s a personal fave from We Love HQ, Kompakt’s takeover where Superpitcher provides his 4 favourite tracks and chats about alfresco voodoo.
Rafter party
There’s a nice cross-section of the ethos of We Love at 3, with veteran Hell, and young guns jozif and Foamo. jozif tells us why he wants to be Paul Woolford and why he’s rolling with the sheep.
Careful inspection of Mezcal worms, before careless consumption.
Mat Playford talks about his debut album at number 2 and there’s sets from the club featuring likely lads PBR Streetgang and golden boy Joris Voorn.
Protip: Wearing a pretty dress and a winning smile will get you one more tune.
Our favourite podcast is Paul Woolford’s where he talks about hooking into Detroit, his famous Terrace edits and return of his alter-ego Bobby Peru.
The security guard literally jumping for joy to see the back of us... until next year!
The fast growing phenomenon of boilerroom.tv is welcoming two of our own this Wednesday November 16th in the form of Carlito and Wooly. This Detroit meets Leeds by way of Dewsbury alliance has made waves both across the atlantic in Carl’s home town where he welcomed Paul early in the year and in our room of doom, Space’s discoteca way back in June for their Planet E showcase.
It’s hard to put your finger on why the Boiler Room works so well as a format. The combination of desirable guests, rare sets (Thom Yorke!), simplicity of concept (essentially two turntables and a webcam) and creation of scarcity through an invite only audience admission policy goes some way to making this essential viewing for a generation who’ve grown up without Top Of The Pops (Sir Jimmy RIP).
So save the date, and check out Planet E’s inimitable terremoto press agent on twitter if you’re hunting for an invite. Joining Carl and Paul will be muso rockers Friendly Fires and master of the low slung after-hours Axel Boman. Check out the video below from our 20 Years of Planet E vinyl only showcase from earlier this summer.
On the eve of our Space closing party we kick things of in London at our UK base Ministry of Sound. Special guest Guy Gerber makes his We Love debut and is joined by long time We Love resident and Space favourite Paul Woolford. Riva Starr impressed so much at our gig in Holland that we’ve invited him back for this gig too. Mat Playford brings his live set-up to The Box completing the lineup for that room
In the 103 we’re very please to welcome Leeds lads PBR Streetgang and Huddersfield’s finest Jamie Fatneck. Also appearing are tech-house upstarts Prince Club.
The one we’ve all been waiting for, worth it’s weight in gold for the aspiring DJ or Space Terrace lover alike. Here Paul Woolford has made available 10 of his best edits which have graced not only Space but dancefloors around the world over the past few years. In the long tradition of re-edit culture this is a big winner. Listen and download until your heart’s content…
Estamos complacidos en anunciarles el lineup de nuestra fiesta de apertura de We Love…space, el domingo 12 de junio de 2011. We Love es única en Ibiza, con seis pistas de desenfranada exploración musical. Sigue los links de los artistas para videos, mixes y mucho más.
Seguir @welove_music en twitter para actualizaciones.
La fiesta de apertura de este año se plantea como la que definirá la temporada de Ibiza, ya que We Love… Space celebra los 20 años de Planet E. Pocos sellos discográficos han logrado superar la prueba del tiempo, y de haberlo hecho, no han sido muchos los que han podido proclamarse tan reelevantes e influyentes como lo fueron ellos,hace veinte anos ya. Planet E, no solo ha sobrevivido los ultimos 20 anos,sino que sin dudas se ha deleitado a lo grande durante los mismos. Al cerebro del techno de Detroit Carl Craig se le sumara Derrick May y Paul Woolford, quienes recientemente han realizado lanzamientos explosivos en el sello. Estos cerebros tambien estarán acompañados por el residente semanal de We Love Jem Haynes, quien tomará el control de la Discoteca y hara una inusual y prestigiosa sesión solo de vinilo, para celebrar este acontecimiento de la discografica.
Mientras tanto, la mundialmente famosa Terraza de Space tendrá de invitado a James Zabiela exibiendo su sonido house para el 2011. Los DJs de Hot Chip, Felix Martin y Al Doyle regresan para la primera de sus tres exclusivas fechas como residentes y Heidi, la favorita de “In New DJs We Trust” de Radio 1, traerá el sonido ‘jackin’ con el apoyo de Made to Play’s Jesse Rose. A continuación tendremos a la apuesta de We Love Mat Playford, haciendo un show en vivo de tres horas, utilizando un sistema análogo personalizado.
El 2011 trae nuevas caras para compartir esta serie de eventos de verano. El sello discografico Moda de Jaymo & Andy George estará auspiciandola Sunset Terrace antes de que el proyecto “Afterdark” de Mr Doris tome el control, luego de la media noche. Ryan O’ Gorman regresa con el Burlington Project para auspiciar doce citas íntimas en la Redbox, la pista que disfrutan entendidos locales y turistas por igual.
We are delighted to announce the lineup for our opening party, We Love… Space on Sunday June 12th 2011. We Love is unique in Ibiza with 6 rooms of unbridled musical excursions. Follow the linked names for videos, mixes and more.
This years opening party is set to define the Ibiza season as We Love… Space celebrate the seminal 20 Years of Planet E. Few labels have managed to stand the test of time and if they have, few can claim to be as relevant and influential as they were twenty years back. Planet E hasn’t just survived the last twenty years but positively revelled in it. Detroit techno mastermind Carl Craig will be joined by Derrick May and Paul Woolford, who have both recently presented the label with blistering releases. These masterminds will be joined by We Love weekly resident Jem Haynes to take control of the Discoteca for a rare and prestigious vinyl-only session in celebration of the label.
Meanwhile, the world famous Space Terraza plays host to James Zabiela showcasing his house sound for 2011. The Hot Chip DJs, Felix Martin and Al Doyle return for the first of their three date exclusive residency and Radio 1 current “In New DJs We Trust” favourite Heidi bringing the jackin’ sound’ o’ Chi’ Town with support from Made To Play’s Jesse Rose. Kicking off proceedings is We Love’s own Mat Playford playing a three hour live show using a customised analogue setup.
2011 brings new faces to share this summer’s series of events. Jaymo & Andy George’s label Moda host the Sunset Terrace before Mr Doris’ “Afterdark” project takes over after midnight. Ryan O’Gorman returns with The Burlington Project to host twelve intimate dates in the Redbox, the room for clued up locals and holiday-makers alike.
It’s often hard to judge a “club” mix on it’s merits without the boundaries of the dancefloor. Especially when said floor is the hallowed turbine hall of Berghain. Paul Woolford continued his techno excursion with Carl Craig’s 20 years of Planet E tour featuring in a recent show at the revered Berlin institution.
Picked from a large and carefully chosen crate of vinyl, it’s a fine and joyous journey through techno and bass music which works perfectly well beyond the club. Wooly’s decision to use only records (in our view the most appropriate medium for electronic music) certainly gives the mix a certain je ne sais quoi and great artistic moments are often borne from self imposed restriction.
Hit “play” and enjoy Paul’s warm-up of sorts, joining the dots between the genuine Detroit sound and the European progeny it continues to spawn.
If you are in the North East this festive season, once you’ve had your fill of Turkey sandwiches, head down to Digital in Newcastle where in conjunction with Jaunt> and Cleer we will be presenting from the We Love stable, Audiofly (Luca Saporito), Paul Woolford, Ian Blevins, PBR Streetgang and Lee Foss. They will be supported by stellar local residents Blackhall & Bookless, Binni, Richard Rowell, Tom Rankin and Liam Vance. We first met Blackhall & Bookless from the Jaunt> crew through this summer’s Fresh Blood competition run with the Burlington project. For anyone who was there that week in the Red Box should have a good idea of what to expect in Newcastle from these likely lads. Take a look at Blackhall & Bookless in the Language Episode from summer in Ibiza.
Luca and Anthony of Audiofly have been kind enough to provide a mix for your listening pleasure which you can download from their profile page. It was recorded live at Hebraica in Peru – tracky, techy, house music.
After a summer of sun(days) stepping up to the plate as resident on the Space terrace for us from June to September, you might think Paul Woolford would rest on his tech-house laurels. But fear not, he has teamed up with Irish production duo Psycatron to help prove UK techno has not lost any of its energy or visionary power. From someone who saw every Woolford set at Space this year, I can say that terraza has definitely rubbed itself onto this piece of wax. Check the clips below…
With releases on Planet E and R&S respectively, Paul Woolford and Psycatron are continuing to prove their credentials with this release on Cocoon Recordings. There’s some spirited drumkit patterns, trademark Woolford triplets to enliven any dancefloor and a throbbing, rolling bassline on Thunder to boot. Cloud 9 steps back in a housier direction before building to an epic crescendo and breakdown to rave signals, sure to leave the floor in tatters. It’s out on 12″ on December 13th so get your pre-orders in now to avoid disappointment. Wooly even left the after-party early to catch a flight to Belfast to master this – so it must be good.
The next release from Paul Woolford’s stock will be Achilles / Tomorrow on C2′s Planet E with a re-work of Tomorrow from the man himself Carl Craig – expect it early 2011.
