Yes,
The second season of Future Disco's Helsinki residency will be delivering the most appropriate acts we could think of. Two new names that have recently emerged to worldwide recognition releasing amazingly hot releases one after another, namely Maxxi Soundsystem and Miguel Campbell. Then we have two legendary and highly appreciated artists in the field of 21st century disco, Roberto Rodriguez and Crazy P, with decades of production and performance under their belt. After last season's four busy nights we want to take things further, and with these artists and a few other tricks in our sleeve we'll be ensuring another set of epic nights for you. Stay tuned on our Facebook page for dj sets, photos and news.
Maxxi Soundsystem
Before the runaway success of club hit ‘Criticize’ which exploded everywhere at the beginning of 2011 from Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show to being featured on Beats in Space Best of 2010 Sam Watts had been DJing, putting on parties and working hard in his studio for a number of years in his home town of Brighton. Locally Sam is known for his party schtumm! which he runs with long time friend and DJ partner Neal Lewis which have brought many exciting acts (often for their debut show) to Brighton over the years, from Radio Slave to mulletover and Tensnake to the Idjut Boys.
Club nights aside his studio work began more intensely when working with Thomas Gandey in Cagedbaby, which he toured with playing live in 2008 and co-write a live version of the tour which performed several shows across the globe including Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Barcelona, Rockness, Glastonbury and the O2 Festival in Hyde Park.
With a strong drive to be creative and improve on each project Sam has been putting long hard hours in his studio this year and already remixed Japanese Popstars, Hercules & Love Affair, The 2 Bears, The Polarsets, Parallel Dance Ensemble and Retro/Grade. As a follow up to Criticize, Maxxi Soundsystem signed his next track ‘Get Up’ to New York’s legendary Nervous Records which saw support from Disco Bloodbath, The Glimmers and Jaymo & Andy George on Radio1. With a release
on Jamie Jones' Hot Waves label, a 3 track EP on NeedWant and a collab with Miami hero Danny Daze there is plenty to look out for in 2012.
Maxxi Soundsystem has toured extensively last year in Glastonbury, Glade Festival, Creamfields, Sankeys Manchester, Flux Leeds, Disco Bloodbath, Rex Club Paris, Athens and Fabric; proving he can rock any dancefloor that’s put in front of him; playing a set made up of his own edits and remixes plus music plucked from his 8 years experience playing in clubs.
