Our opening month offers up some of the best new music out there as we welcome Retro/Grade – The modern day disco duo comprising of DJs Tom Neville and Serge Santiago. Their tracks have been supported by tastemakers including Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, A-Trak, Busy P, Annie Mac and Pete Tong (Who made ‘Moda' it one of his records of the year).
Retro/Grade have supported Groove Armada and Goldfrapp on nationwide tours as well as playing headline Live slots in Ibiza, UK, Germany, France and beyond.
“Retro/Grade to us encompasses everything electronic. We've taken influences from everywhere - films, artists, games; anything with emotion – we're keeping it dance floor without conforming to today's rules in how you 'should' produce.†Retro/Grade
At 21 years old, Louis La Roche is perhaps the next great hero for the British dance music scene. Taking his influences from UK legends such as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and Basement Jaxx, along with the unmistakable French house scene of the 1990s, Louis La Roche grew up listening to Daft Punk, Cassius and Mr. Oizo.
Gritty and charmingly rough around the edge, Louis' tracks are soulful and full of tributes to his love of disco, soul and his upbringing on nineties house music. Tracks such as the French-pop influenced ‘Sunshine Hotel' and ‘Be Brave' sound like lost dance classics.
But Louis is doing far more than updating other people's ideas – he's bringing the euphoria of nineties house, lost eighties soul classics and vintage seventies funk to the fickle MP3 generation. Louis La Roche merges these influences to make a sound all of his own.
Vanguard, otherwise known as Tom Morgan and James Thomas from Wales first started producing together when they were 17 years old sampling old funk and 80s soft rock tracks using their different musical influences to create a different sound to regular french house. They have honed their musical and production abilities to create their own signature sound.
Having supported the likes of 2ManyDJs, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris and Annie Mac, their ability to perform live or behind the decks has not gone unrecognised, having headlined the United Nations gig for BBC Introducing and subsequently being featured on BBC Radio One's daytime playlist!
Rounding things off every week will be our resident, XFM's Eddy Temple-Morris. Where do we start? This is a man who has been at the forefront of new music for his entire career. He is host of Xfm's legendary (10 years running and twice Sony Award nominated) dance-rock crossover radio show, The Remix. With his band Losers he's remixed everyone from The Prodigy to Placebo, he's hosted Remix Allnighters at SEOne and Matter and was the first host/resident at the inaugural season of Ibiza Rocks. Eddy has appeared on MTV 2's Gonzo and all manner of TV and radio shows across the BBC, MTV, Channel 4, ITV, Five and also does the odd voiceover!
In his role championing new music he has discovered the likes of 2manyDJs, Simian Mobile Disco, Kasabian, Justice, Alex Metric, Fenech Soler, Sub Focus, Pendulum (We'll stop there as this list could go on all day). If ever there was a man born to be Get Loaded resident, it's Eddy Temple Morris!
