Defence is proud to present its biggest lineup yet: Utah Jazz (UK) and Recue X Jolea LIVE at mbar.
Having just released his third album 'Groove Therapy', which Mixmag awarded the title of "Album of the Month" in June 2012, and touring extensively around the globe, the legendary Utah Jazz is one of the most sought-after Drum & Bass djs at the moment. This doesn't come as a surprise, as Utah Jazz is responsible for some of the biggest hooks in Drum & Bass, enjoying constant chart success and is supported by BBC Radio 1 djs and club djs like LTJ Bukem, Fabio, High Contrast and London Elektricity. As well as being a successful producer, Utah Jazz is a three-deck double drop dj extraordinaire who will be performing a funk-fueled rolling and uplifting dj set like no other.
The night will also feature the Finnish premier of Recue X Jolea LIVE. After releasing a video on Vimeo titled "Do Not Disturb", Recue was instantly put on the map of the Finland's most prominent electronic live acts. "Do Not Disturb" was also recognized in multiple online music publications like Sonic State and Create Digital Music. After recently joining forces with the producer / singer / songwriter Jolea, the duo have been constantly touring across the world and now for the first time performing live at mbar. The combined set brings together the best of both worlds: Jolea’s stellar vocals and reflective songwriting with Recue’s spacious sound design and detailed pounding beat work. The atmospheric otherwordly soundscapism and electroacoustic textures that are key elements to both of their work are there, but the result is more up paced with a bass heavy dancefloor emphasis. It’s an interesting mixture of eyesdown melodic electronica and plastered thumping beats drifting in and out of double/half stepped syncopation.
UTAH JAZZ (UK, Vintage Recordings, Liquid V, Good Looking, Hospital)

You heard it here first: UTAH JAZZ, D&B’s very own “soul prince” (iDJ magazine), is back – and he’s brought only the very best...
After two globe-spanning years touring his remarkable debut LP ‘IT’S A JAZZ THING’, the DJ, producer and remixer extraordinaire returns this summer with his brand new record label and long-playing masterpiece: ‘VINTAGE’.
Joined by a host of stars – including multi-million selling Royksopp vocalist CHELONIS R JONES, drum & bass legend JONNY L (XL Recordings), Soul:R's MC DRS and jungle dons the mighty RAGGA TWINS – this matchless funk alchemist is set to break new ground once again – and give dancefloors worldwide yet another premium injection of future-funking soul.
The electric versatility of his soulful dancefloor style has also made Luke Wilson one of the most sought-after DJs on the international stage. Mixing anything from 1993 LTJ Bukem classics to the latest Sub Focus banger, Utah Jazz is a party-bringer like no other, with one-off dubplates, three-deck mixes and old-skool razzledazzle bursting from his bag of tricks.
And now, from the man responsible for some of the finest liquid-funk in drum & bass history, comes a brand new LP of original dancefloor gold...
Ten years deep into the music and still maturing – classic track by classic track – Utah Jazz is back with his finest crop to date.
WARNING: this is rare, refined and remarkable dance music. It may cause your friends to envy your good taste.
RECUE X JOLEA (Audiobaum)

We’re happy to announce that Recue and Jolea are joining forces, packing their bags, and heading for live gigs together. The combined set brings together the best of both worlds: Jolea’s stellar vocals and reflective songwriting with Recue’s spacious sound design and detailed pounding beat work. The atmospheric otherwordly soundscapism and electroacoustic textures that are key elements to both of their work are there, but the result is more up paced with a bass heavy dancefloor emphasis. It’s an interesting mixture of eyesdown melodic electronica and plastered thumping beats drifting in and out of double/half stepped syncopation.
The set will include both; remakes of their previous work and completely new material. Glimpses of the new have already been surfaced around the internet. Different versions of a collaborative track called ‘We’re Not Like the Most’ have been featured for example on Kid Kameleon’s guest mix done for Tom Ravenscroft’s BBC6 show and Recue’s own acclaimed ‘Do Not Disturb’ live performance. Results of Recue’s and Jolea’s work together will be released later this year as an EP right here on Audiobaum, so needless to say, we’re more than excited!
