DEPECHE MODE DJ SET IN MANILA!

After Bob Sinclar at the World Trade Center, Republiq and Driven Manila bring you the DEPECHE MODE DJ Set featuring Andy Fletcher on February 24, 2011 at Republiq, Resorts World!!! 

Andy Fletcher has spent his recent downtime between DM albums touring extensively as a DJ.  He has played festivals (Creamfields, Pukkelpop, Sonar, Get Loaded) and club nights around the world particularly Spain, Italy, Germany, Eastern Europe as well as Greece, Istanbul, Russia & Israel.  He has also been on DJ tour in 5 countries in South America.  Andy is now very excited to be taking his DJ tour to Bucharest, Ukraine and Australia/Asia in early 2011.

"I really enjoy DJing, it's great to get eye contact in smaller venues again as I'm used to playing to tens of thousands of people with DM.  And it's great to be able to select tracks I like from any era and in any style."

 
"In general I don't tend to play any one style but my set is loosely based on my heritage with Depeche Mode - electro both old and new from the Human League to Alex Metric.  I'll be playing brand new DM mixes from respected producers such as Eric Prydz & Vince Clarke and classic old mixes such as Personal Jesus by Francois K.  You can expect some surprises as well as I've been working on a few things in the studio especially for this forthcoming DJ tour."

“It feels like a good time to be out DJing again, with a new DM remix album out in March 2011.  The last remix collection was hugely successful and this one is shaping up to be just as exciting – an interesting mix of favourite classic mixes and brand new future classic mixes.”

So there you go, folks! Didn't we say at Driven Manila that Bob Sinclar was just the beginning? ;-) For sponsorship, VIP and table reservations, see this... 

  
Fletch will surely rock Republiq!!! You absolutely can't afford to miss this!!!


2011 Best Gigs in Manila are brought to you by Driven Manila!

LAIDBACK LUKE LIVE AT REPUBLIQ 12.10.10.

Luke is laid back about everything except music. Since landing a new entry – 46 – in DJ magazine's Top 100 DJs Poll of 2008, it's clear that Holland's homeboy is on fire like never before. It's why he was selected to ignite the Stealth Live! CD series with a near perfect club mix. Why he was snapped up for a weekly Friday show by French station Radio FG. Why his own party, Super You&Me, is such a winner. Why he is bustin' up bassbins from Australia to the Americas – and ripping up a storm working with everyone from Diplo to Tiësto. Yes, Luke's stratospheric success befits his world-beating talents and is reaching new levels of hotness in 2009!

 

2009 is Luke's craziest year yet. His collaboration with the Swedish House Mafia, 'Leave The World Behind', was an Essential New Tune on Pete Tong's Miami show – and, as of July 2009, is Beatport's best-selling track of the year. His Super You&Me party at club Louis during WMC was also an incredible success, starring some sick tag-team antics from Diplo & A-Trak before Luke closed the show. Plus, Luke & Diplo have produced a dancefloor slayer called 'Hey' on Southern Fried. This is supported by DJs like Kissy Sell Out, on his Radio 1 show, where Luke's track with Lee Mortimer, 'Blau', received airplay. Naturally, Luke's remix talents are equally in demand – just see Martin Solveig's 'Boys & Girls' and MSTRKRFT featuring John Legend's 'Heartbreaker'. To top it off, he has remixed David Guetta and traded remixes with Tiësto. Meanwhile, Luke's own killer track 'My G*O*D* (My Guns On Demo)' is scorching floors, and he's always testing new artillery on his travels. Touring in 2009 has seen Luke continue to blaze a trail from Australia to Ibiza, where he played for David Guetta's Fuck Me I'm Famous party at Pacha, and with Roger Sanchez for Release Yourself at Amnesia. Further marking his transition to major league status, this year has also seen him nominated for best House DJ in Ibiza's DJ Awards.

 

Luke (Luke van Scheppingen) was born in Manila, Philippines, but grew up in the Netherlands. He loved guitars, graffiti, hip-hop and house, and found a mentor in Dobre (Chocolate Puma). He was just a teenager when he began producing, taking the 'laid back' tag from Snoop Dogg's 'Gin & Juice'. Yet by 1995 he was putting out tracks and from 96 was remixing for established artists, in addition to DJing professionally. Once beating a Dutch DMC champ in battle, Luke showed the world how he rolls: skilfully fusing an array of flavours, edits, bootlegs and a cappellas into a slick signature style. He even released an album, Psyched U, in 1999. But it wasn't until Virgin signed 'Rocking With The Best' and released his 2002 album, Electronic Satisfaction, that his profile soared. Luke's Dance Valley anthem, 'We Can Not Get Enough', then blew up. He also mixed his first compilation, Windmill Skill. His discography was therefore already looking prolific as he remixed Daft Punk (who were a huge early influence), Murk, Oliver Lieb and Tom Stephan. And to up the output in 2004, he introduced his own label, Mixmash.
