HEADMAN
Over the past seven years Robi Insinna a.k.a Headman emerged as one of the most influencial producers of the new dance and disco scene. Singled-out after a superb rework of Seelenluft’s Manila in 2002, he became one of the most sought-after remixers of the last few years, giving his treatment to Franz Ferdinand, Mylo, Scissor sisters, The Rapture, Röyksopp, Placebo or Roxy Music among many others. Most of his Remixes are now considered as dancefloor classics DJs and find their place in the bag of Tiga, 2 Many DJs, James Murphy, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Rub n’ Tug to name but a few. Most of his hits also peaked up in UK DMC. In 2005/2006 Headman really confirmed his status of most-wanted remixer. His remix of Standing in the way of control from the band The Gossip has been acclaimed worldwide as another Headman classic. And no less than Kitsuné and Zombie Nation asked him to give their tunes the reboosting treat they deserved.

When Headman puts his hands on a track, you will get a bouncy club mix that dominates the floors. He truly does have the "Midas Touch"... So have a listen to the gold he's made out of SHAZAM's Pool Party 2009 and check out what happened when Bag Raiders touched the Hand of God...

Shazam – Pool Party 2009 (Headman Revlover Remix)








Headman - Catch me if you can








Headman – Catch Me If You Can (Bag Raiders Remix)









In Flagranti
"Wronger Than Everyone Else" is the title of IN FLAGRANTI's first full length Album. After a productive 2005-06 seasson with six 12" vinyl ep's, In Flagranti releases the tracks from the vinyl, with additional unreleased tracks, on CD. "Wronger Than Everyone Else" is difficult to pin down as the name would suggest, though critics have compared IN FLAGRANTI with acts such as, !!! (chck chck chck), Daft Punk, The Rapture... and as a club promoter describes " New York's funkiest exponent of the ever growing disco-punk revival". But their sound is distinctively unique.

I've chhucked in a couple of his remixes including is touch one of our Interstate favourites "Act Yo Age"... but his original stuff is by far the best.... Which can only be experinced with his own blend of 70s influenced visions so i'll share it with you in video format....

Act Yo Age - La Fumo Loco (In Flagranti Remix)








In Flagranti - Business Acumen (Holy Ghost! version)

Christopher Robin - Local Boys and Leavin for the UK



Friday 22nd of May gives us the last time Christopher Robin will be playing for us LIVE @ Empire before they head off. The guys are leaving us and heading for Greater things in the UK....

They're unforgettable when they play LIVE.... And they are even more unforgettable when they PARTY!!!

Exhibit A:




Here's what RAVE Magazine said this about the duo;

'Hang on, you’re doing this as a joke, maybe some sort of dramatic statement, right? Some musclebound drummer constantly rides the bass drum and hi-hat while a weedy singer dazzles the crowd, pressing one key and letting an auto-arpeggiated microKorg do the rest. That’s not a band, that’s the soundtrack writing team for a Michael Bay movie.'

- RAVE magazine, 2008


But I'm gonna Miss them and their Antics!!!

There’s something about the song “Vision 2020″ that I dig....
Here are some of their Works - Originals & Remixes....


Christopher Robin - Vision 2020








Christopher Robin - Always








Elke - Blue Dream Lover (Christopher Robin Walktrough) - Download








Muscles - One Inch Badge Pin (Christopher Robin Remix) - Download






DJ Sega (USA) - The B-More King!


Photographed @ Mad Descent Block Party 2008
DJ Sega (Middle) and Diplo (Only White Guy There) with ELMO!!



Robert “DJ Sega” Taylor Jr. isn’t your typical young bol. Only 20 years old, he espouses a knowledge of and enthusiasm for the finer points of music better than heads twice his age. Currently holding residence Friday nights at Jamz Roller Skating Center with DJ Dee Square, and Sundays at Pinnacle, Taylor is one of Philly’s most respected "party music" DJs....

And He's hitting EMPIRE on Friday 22nd May


When asked about his take on Baltimore he simply replied, "Baltimore club is more for the club scene. It’s hype, and has a lot of horns"

We've ALL heard of his track "Be" (It was mashed up with agh- Show me love Last year). If not here's a reminder (Of the Original) and check out his BOUNCING Remix while your at it...

DJ Sega - Be - Download








Diplo - Wassup Wassup ft Rye Rye (DJ Sega Remix) - Download









Here's a Sample of what to expect on Friday!!

Lee Mortimer (UK)



The renowned producer LEE Mortimer hits Empire on Saturday 23rd of MAY and he's gonna be hitting us with a bang....

I don't think I can describe this guy better than "Switch" has;

"Lee's one of the most exciting producers and DJs in the UK right now. You have to check him play... I don't think anyone can touch him for that sound at the moment."
- Dave "Switch" Taylor

From Liverpool, he writes some great original Bassline House music. His works remind me a bit of the Crookers. He's got jumpy house beats, lots of fuzz, horns, crush, melody, and the danceability factor in his work is really high.

Here are some of his remixes

Dave Spoon & Pete Tong - Gas Face (Lee Mortimer remix)








Rektchordz - Feed Your Head (Lee Mortimer remix)
