Luke Fair - Bedrock Original Series: OS_03
Label: Bedrock Records | Release Date: Monday, June 20, 2005
At the forefront of Canada's growing dance scene and increasingly making his presence felt on the world scene, is Luke Fair. He's performed at some of the most prestigious venues and events in the world, offering club goers a taste of his funky - techy eclectic house sound each and every weekend. His sets include everything from groovy house and techno to funky progressive and electro. Constantly re-editing tracks to customize his sets; Luke's ongoing desire to make every set stand out from the others is crystal clear.
Luke has pushed his sound the world over, headlining at world-renowned clubs like Pacha (Buenos Aires), Bedrock (London), Red Light (Paris), Space (Miami), 'Zouk' club (Singapore) and The Womb (Tokyo). He's headlined the 8000 person 'Moonpark' party in Argentina and Luke's recent Eastern European tour with John Digweed ended at Godskitchen's massive Global Gathering festival.
Luke's skills have won the praise of some of the industry's biggest players. He was chosen by Danny Howells and Deep Dish as their 'future hero' in DJ Mag's Top 100 issue and, most recently, Luke was selected by none other than DJ Sasha to open up for him in every US city on the Involver CD release tour.
'Luke Fair is a true future hero, a brilliantly rounded talent and so young you can only see an exciting future ahead for him. His production is awesome and i'm proud to have him on the Bedrock label as an artist as well as in this series, but for the benefit of this CD all you need to know is that he is an awesome DJ, and you can hear that for yourself in OS_0.3' - John Digweed
Over the past few years, Luke has garnered attention for extremely diverse and genre-crossing studio efforts. From dubbed-out house to melodic progressive, his tracks have been played by djs from all across the dance music spectrum. Everyone from Sasha to David Morales to The Plump DJs have all included Luke's production in their sets. Pete Tong has also featured numerous Luke Fair productions on his world famous BBC Radio 1 'Essential Selection' show.
"I'm extremely happy with how the album turned out. Every track on there has a very special meaning to me. Being able to fit these songs together logically was what I set out to do, and I'm thrilled with the result. A few of the tracks I have changed quite a bit from their original form to better personalize the mix, and to showcase the sound I am into as best I can." - Luke Fair
His production skill can be keenly felt in the twists, tweaks and edits he applies to every track he plays, giving each and every live set a unique and personal touch that situates Luke at the top of the tree in this nu wave of DJs. A worthy addition to the Original Series!
Plus he just stood there like a statue with a scowl, which was sorta a downer for me.
