RELNOTES..:
BIOGRAPHY RALPH LAWSON:
Moving to Leeds in the late eighties, Ralph Lawson must have had second thoughts
about the place with it's gothic buildings and beer n brawling attitude
alongside it's dormant club culture. The fact that his favourite bands came from
the city may just have tipped the balance, and a generation of clubbers can be
thankful of that fact.
Ralph holds the honour of playing the first ever record at Back to Basics, and
there is a very good chance that he will play the last if that fateful day ever
rears up it's ugly head. Resident dj for 9 glorious years now, the success and
vibe of Leeds' best ever club may be just one factor that has prevented Ralph
from being mentioned in the same breath as some of the big-money djs of today.
That he has not got a single commercial bone in his body is another. Preferring
to play one set per night in a club in order to give that club his all, Ralph
was never going to get the same national exposure as those other djs. But Ralph
is no other dj. Don't ask us, ask Bill Brewster who recently described Lawson as
Britain's best kept secret.
As more top US and European djs came to Leeds and witnessed Ralph's
smooth-as-a-baby's-bum style, so the requests flooded in from abroad for his
deck services. Ralph has played at just about every good club under the sun, and
he would probably agree that the highlight of his career was playing to 20,000
people on Bondi Beach on Millenium Eve. He is also surely one of the few foreign
djs to have made it in Moscow, a special night that was commemorated by the
release of a cd recorded live on the night by Barcelonan label, Minifunk. Not
bad for one who has been unnecessarily tarnished with the rather restrictive
title of "deep house dj" for some years now.
Never one for resting on his laurels, Ralph has always kept a healthy interest
in making music and, as an ex-drummer, was always destined to progress onto
studio work. With Carl Finlow, and occasionally Huggy, Ralph has been
responsible for a number of highly rated productions.. Most notably, Ralph
collaborated with Chez Damier and Stacey Pullen early in his career, which must
have had a profound effect on the way he approached production. With Carl, Ralph
has recorded as Wolf n Flow and Urban Farmers.
2020 Vision, Ralph's record label, has been going for five years now. To quote
Carl Finlow,
" 2020 has grown up and is no longer a baby. It has just started school, and has
made some great new friends. Each day it learns more and more and always tries
to do it's homework. If it continues as it is doing, it will mature into one of
the schools very brightest pupils."
With an ever increasing roster of artists from as far afield as Montreal and
Helsinki, Avignon to Manchester, what started out for Ralph as a hobby is fast
becoming an international enterprise of some repute.
Not satisfied with making his own music and releasing the music new artists,
Ralph has earned himself a significant niche as a remixer. As always with Carl,
Ralph has famously remixed artists that include Felix Tha Housekatt, David
Bowie, Blaze, Jori Hulkkonen, Shawn Christopher and many more.
Now a regular guest at places like Fabric, Bugged Out and Home, and with his
productions and remixes appearing regularly in the playlists of today's top djs,
the sky is the limit for this most talented of people. But maybe even that is
not beyond Ralph's capabilities.
BIOGRAPHY DEETRON:
The man behind Deetron is Sam Geiser, born and still living in Bern. The DJ
culture of the Hip-Hop movement was his link to electronic music. He started
DJing at different clubs all around Switzerland and became resident at the world
famous Club Trax @ Rohstofflager in Zⁿrich where he got well known for his
3-deck mixing skills and sets blurring the lines between Techno, House- and
Detroit-classics.
An introduction to Stefan Riesen from Phont Music in 1997 led to his first
release as Soul Mate on Phont Music. He then travelled to Japan for dj-ng in
1999 and recorded the "Double Exposure Vol. 1" EP with DJ Shufflemaster in
Tokyo, again for Phont Music. In the year 2000 he was contacted for an EP by
In-tec records where he released the very successful "Alien Entertainment EP" .
In 2001 "Dolls for a diva" was released on the highly acclaimed Music Man label,
the start of a strong relationship with this label from Belgium. New EPÆs
followed on Dave AngelÆs Rotation (Vertigo EP), Jay DenhamÆs Black Nation/Sector
616 (Dancing manual EP), Steve BicknellÆs Cosmic (as Karakter), Ongaku (Lorraine
EP) and Phont Music (Cut Back EP). Sam remixed Samuel L. Session, Ben Sims,
Damon Wild, Steve Bicknell (as Karakter), K-Alexy Shelby, Orlando Voorn, Paul
Mac and others. His energetic DJ sets reached clubs in Holland, Belgium,
England, Germany, Austria and a promotional DJ-tour in Australia took place in
July 2001.
After the Outerworld EP on Music Man and several remixes, the highly acclaimed
debut mix-compilation by Deetron has been released in June by Music Man, which
gained a lot of praise from press worldwide and gave his worldwide DJ-Schedule a
boost by making it as hectic as never before.
The anticipated cooperation with Samuel L. Session released in July on SLS,
remixes for Ben Sims, Damon Wild and Gary Martin amongst others highlighted his
production work. Deetron started 2003 with a brand new 12" on Music Man
including the tracks "Body Language" and "Uncutfunk". Furthermore he is
preparing his Debut Album for Music Man to be released this year and remixes for
Vince Watson and Mark Broom.
