Space Cadets on the 7th of May (In chronological order starting from 8pm):
James Burman @ Space Cadets 07-05-09: This is one superb funked up mix. Its a great show of talent to this once more 'commercial' DJ but luckily he has come to the 'dark' side.. Some of the latest house and tech-house tunes combined with James's great mixing creates a great flow and is a mix Ive had trouble stop listening too! Trust me you will be hearing more of this DJ in the future.

Nic Scali: Space Cadet resident jumped on after to deliver the late-night goods with some slaming tech, techno and progressive tracks. So, "Why do we dance?"...

Chris Leffers: Chris jumped on after Nic (around 12:30pm) to deliver some twisted electronic-discotecha! He seriously impressed us last time around with his great track-selection, effortlessly progressing through genres of electronica so we had to get him back for another. Its a great moody mix which kept the dance-floor buzzing until 2am, not bad considering it was a Thursday night.



Space Cadets club night 23rd April
Jeremy Nothman is perhaps the only DJ, so far, we have had the pleasure of putting on that insists on playing only-vinyl. And it is a welcomed thing to see these awesome deep-house tracks blare out through there analogue grooves. I believe if your to play only-vinyl, then it should be reflected in some quality lesser known tracks and that's exactly what's happened here. Have a listen, its great mix for chilling out (it was the first set of the night!).

Zushy Woolstone is a DJ who likes his long slots (I blogged on his 3hr mixtape while back) which is kind of why we gave all the DJs one and half hour slots for this night. With this guy you can hear the clear progression of tracks from the laid back-house at the begging to some proper techno at the end. A very nice mix.

Jamie Tek A little mix from myself with a collection of some new minimal stuff of the past few weeks and songs Ive being playing out over the past few months. Feedback always appreciated!

Alex Caminer Space Cadet resident Caminer drove home the grooves with this closing set. As always gold tunes in here.

Space Cadets DJ sets from 9th April, easter special!

Easily our most successful Space Cadets since starting this little night a few months back. Musically the sets by everyone were seriously top-notch! I heard some amazing new tunes as well as great mixing by all. Have a listen to the sets, you'll not be disappointed.We had packed dance floor throughout the night right until closing time at 5am! If it wasn't for the Easter Friday laws (every pub and club must close at 5am for some reason, argh) we would of gone on for longer!


A Huge Thank you goes out to Robbie Lowe who played an excellent set taking us through some great new progressive and house tunes as well as Dane Austin who treated us with a live set (check the video below) with the deep, techy and even a little dubstep sounds of Mr Austin. Also our headlining VJ Darko showed us 'how its done' with a great array of colourful, trippy and bizarre visuals and graphics, however words really cant do justice for VJs so definitely come and check him out at a future Space Cadets if your around the area.

Other DJs on the night were myself (Jamie Tek) managing to bash out some Audion, the new Reboot new track Ronson, which was extremely well received, as well as some Daypyk and some awesome new Tom Clark & Daniel Dreier tracks. Unfortunately my recorder lost its 'juice' halfway through my set so consider it a littler taster of what happened in those early hours. Also after my set Timmy Maxwell dropped by for a 'surprise' set with me, Timmy and Alex playing tunes until close.

Chris Leffers started the night out with some extremely funky minimal house tracks that were perfect to get the groove going, after which Nic Scali took over to give us a good dosage of some of the lastest tech-house and minimal tracks going around right now. Alex Caminer warmed up for Robbie Lowe with a great moody techno track selection that had the floor heaving. Think italoboyz and Radioslave latest monster Koma Koma.
