SLO-MO continues its foray into deep, funky and soulful sounds with the first of our guest nights.
Kicking off proceedings we've pulled in the talents of two of the best resident djs we've found in Glasgow. Kev Stevens and Craig Moogroove are resident djs and co-promoters of the fantastic Solar Disco parties held on the second Saturday of each month in the Brunswick Hotel basement which they run with their mate Paul Maelstrom.
Taking in sounds from the likes of Tensnake, Floating Points, 6th Borough Project, Cottam and various other cutting edge producers these guys regularly turn the Brunny basement into a proper sweatbox with full on body rockin sets. We've been seriously impressed since the first time we heard them and felt they'd be the perfect act to rock SLO-MO!

Here's a recent mix from Mr Moogroove...
Fragments Mix - (Electrofunkdiscotek) by Moogroove
Big Kev started djing around about 1999 or so in the legendary Buff Club in West End of Glasgow, playing along side the likes of Mark Robb and Nick Peacock spinning upfront Jazz, northern soul and deep funk.
He's played in numerous bars in Glasgow everything from HipHop to RareGroove, but has always loved the Disco and only really started delving more into the Disco vibes after hearing mixes from the likes of the Social Disco Club, Mark E, Pete Herbert. This was also coupled with numerous nights getting down to the sounds provided by Melting Pots Andy Pirie and Simon Cordiner who introduced him to lots of music he's never heard before.
This led him to start his own night with help from Craig Thompson and Paul Gordon… Solar Disco was launched and it embraces the Disco vibes, but they have also given it their own twist by playing more of an electronic sound incorporating House and Deep House music. You can find Kev playing some of the best Electronic Disco grooves in Glasgow every Friday in the bar at Humming Bird.
As always our residents Charles Gardiner, Rob Firth, Chef De Party and Stuart Holbeck providing support.
See ya there.
