Mad Mats at The BBE Store, Saturday August 19th
News
We’re super excited to welcome DJ, record label impresario and former Swedish champion b-boy Mad Mats to The BBE Store to celebrate his new compilation, ‘Diggin Beyond The Crates’. Released August 11th on Vinyl, CD & Digital formats, the album will be available to purchase in-store on the day.
As well as iconic underground imprints Raw Fusion and GAMM, Mad Mats is a partner in the highly regarded Local Talk Records label, making it highly probable that most of the world’s influential DJs have at least one of his discoveries in their record bags.
For his first release on BBE Music, Mats has put together a diverse selection of cuts; from reggae, hip hop and soul to boogie, electronica and house, reflecting his open-minded approach to DJing. “The compilation is very mixed, just like how I like to DJ…all freestyle. Yes, I play a lot of house clubs nowadays because of Local Talk, but at heart I’ve always been a so called “eclectic” selector. Most of these tracks are tunes I’ve played all over the years, sprinkled with some brand new discoveries.”
Coming from a strictly vinyl background, believing firmly that digging should always about the discovery of great music regardless of the format, the concept of ‘Digging Beyond The Crates’ was born. Ranging far and wide in terms of genre and tempo, the album is tied together by one common factor; this is feel-good music made for dancing.
“I’m just as hungry (probably even more so) to find my personal gems as I was back in the day, I just look for them with more variation. This album is dedicated to those select few individuals, just like myself: highly driven music lovers, collectors and DJs that truly are DIGGING BEYOND THE CRATES!”
FREE ENTRY! The shop opens at 12pm for digging and music will start at 3 till 8pm.
All ages welcome & kid friendly. Food & drink available next door at The Institute of Light.
