For the month of April Gutterfunk welcomes the homegrown London talent of DJ / producer Harold Heath fresh back from the Winter Music Conference in Miami.
Harold Heath is proving to be a producer and DJ to keep your eyes and ears on.
His distinctive brand of driving tech-house has gained national radio support from Pete Tong, DJ support from the likes of Layo & Bushwacka, X-Press 2 and extensive press coverage particularly with his recent record “Long Relationships” receiving fantastic accolade around the globe.
Harold’s discography to date includes releases on Bushwacka!’s Oblong label, tracks on UK labels; Urban Torque, Sensei, Freaked, Boxa, Uhuru Beats, as well as releases on overseas outfits Groove Pleasure, Terraform, Stickman and Tony Tango’s Detour
The next step is an album and Urban Torque will be capitalizing on the success of “Long Relationships” by releasing Harold’s first album in spring 2005. Harold has recently remixed Asad Rizvi’s “Slippery Heights” due out shortly on Soco Audio and he has just finished a remix for Household Recordings too.
Harold began DJ’ing at local underground house parties in London, playing the deeper and funkier cuts from the US blended with the new tech house sound emanating from London. He now guests all over the world with a DJ diary just as busy as his production schedule.
Getting the evening off to a flying start will be Jamie Coughlan (Public Energy #1). Jamie’s musical ‘family tree’ reads like many DJ’s / record collectors of his era: funk to hip hop to electro then acid house and beyond. He started early doors collecting tapes from pirate funk stations in the early 80’s, keen to seek out anything new and unusual (dreaming about being old enough to be let into Shake and Fingerpop), found house post hip hop/electro and well….. We all can guess the rest. Jamie has guested throughout London, enjoying regular spots since a mere 18 years old.
As always your residents Foot Therapy will be steering the grooves into dirty waters before Harold Heath finishes up the evening showcasing some of his new unreleased productions.
