ON THE FLOOR


CLASSIC IS YOUR FRIEND, HACKNEY DOWNS STUDIOS, LONDON


Absolutely classic! Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon reunite for Classic Is Your Friend series…


CONVENTION defying from the outset – starting with its 100th release and counting down to zero – Classic Record’s days were always numbered since day one. But that hasn’t stopped the minds behind it reuniting to put out re-mastered and digital releases from the back catalogue on CD since reaching ‘00’ in 2005, or throwing a series of parties across Europe (London, Vienna, Berlin, Glasgow, Zurich, Mantova) throughout November. Born out of the shared subterranean appreciations of Chicago legend Derrick Carter and Music For Freaks label co-boss Luke Solomon in 1995, the label put its hand to releases by Isolee (‘Beaut Mot Plage’), Tiefschwarz’s fi rst album, Matthew Herbert, DJ Sneak, Metro Area and the late, great Kenny


Hawkes, serving to shoulder the output of what Luke describes as a “family” of DJs and producers who went on to help defi ne house music, a community germinated through the ‘90s by Wednesday night party Space at Bar Rumba run by Luke and Kenny.


And now, with house music “relevant” once again, Luke and Derrick believe it’s prime time to throw a series parties entitled Classic Is Your Friend, culminating in London on Saturday 5th November at Hackney Downs Studios with Derrick Carter, Luke Solomun and Rob Mello (10pm-6am).
