Artists To Watch: Cristoph

Chris Costigan a.k.a. Cristoph caught my attention end of 2014 with an amazing House track called "101". Following his other productions it was quite clear to me that this guy from Newcastle (England) is a rising star!

His DJ sets and productions range from Deep House to Tech House, with forward pushing basslines and quality melodies. No wonder real music lovers begin to notice him. As a teen he already started to express his love for electronic music by experimenting with instruments and different production equipment. And he began to dj as alias CJ Costigan, playing a Progressive House sound.

In the meantime he is deejaying in the top clubs of this planet, is releasing music on quality record labels such as Defected, DFTD, Suara, Noir and Knee Deep In Sound and is even touring with DFTD.

I use a lot of tracks from Cristoph in my DJ sets, as they exactly match my kind of music: no boredom or melancholy, but a strong forward momentum, combined with interesting melodies.

Keep up the good work, Cristoph!

DIRTY MIND MIX #183: Adam Conway (Great Britain)

This weeks DIRTY MIND MIX is from Adam Conway from Eargasm House Nights in Manchester. Enjoy his set at play.dirtymindmusic.com.

About the artist:
Meet Adam Conway Co-founder of Manchester UK's biggest house night EARGASM! Adam first hit the turntables at the tender age of 16 where he first started to mix dubstep, pressed to vinyl and worked on his mixing straight in at the deep end with the raw materials and essentials in the form of Technic 1210's! As the years progressed and time went on Adam didn't digress from the odd bassline and moved onto the fast growing genre that took the UK by storm which was that of speed garage and 4X4.

After a period of time Adam took a back seat within music and packed away his turntable's and cases of vinyl to only return to them another day ....

Approximately 4 years later Adam saw an opportunity to bring his ideas and strengths to the night life of Manchester at which point created his very own house night! A name for the night wasn't easy and took him and Co-founder Dan Willams some time and endless conversations to finally produce and come up the name EARGASM, which they thought described the event perfectly. Eargasm has evolved over a 12 month period and is now labelled as one of the biggest house nights in Manchester which has featured some of the hottest and well known DJ's on the house scene, Not only all this in such a small space of time the event is also set to gain residency at one of Manchester's biggest night clubs.

When asked a few questions about his events and brand so far he replied with "Eargasm has done us proud so far, we've gone from strength to strength over these last 12 months and we couldn't have done it without the DJ's and clubs we've had the pleasure of working with so far. Were not interested in VIP sections and Champagne lifestyle clubbers, all we want is a underground club with CDJ's, Mixer the best house DJ's from around the world and oh yeah a funktion 1 Soundsystem!"

Since his return Adam's played alongside some of the UK's hottest DJ's Phil Dolman (ill phill), Ryan James, low steppa, Ryan Blyth, Brian Murphy, Shaun "banger" Scott, Craig Tinker and many more.

About the artists:
Purveyors of the finest house music and all round party people, The Shapeshifters have been at the forefront of dance music since 2003. At this time, both of the guys had reached a musical crossroads and wanted to do things on their own terms. They decided to go into the studio together and see what came out: the result was ‘Lola’s Theme’. It went on to become a major worldwide hit and set the stage for The Shapeshifters. ‘Lola’s Theme’ also set the precedent for the way the guys work in the studio: let the music come together naturally and forget about genres. Simon’s roots are in funk and soul, while Max comes from a techno background and it’s this fusion that makes The Shapeshifters sound so dynamic and exciting. In 2006 it was time for a new musical focus in a period when the music industry itself was going through momentous changes and major labels losing interest in house. Up stepped Defected and the perfect alliance was formed with one of the leading independent house labels.
