They were recently on a the same bill as Kraftwerk and their productions have provided the backdrop on top US TV dramas such as such as Nip/Tuck, Six Feet Under, CSI Miami and gangster brit-flick, Layer Cake. Despite their success they still retain their distaste of the mainstream preferring to play parties such as Kosmetic Surgery which help carve out musical templates of the future. Joining them will be Trailer Trash residents, Mikki Most and Hannah Holland. Based in Shoreditch, Trailer Trash is one the most influential parties so the UK so expect them to blow the socks of South London with their blistering electric disco. They will join forces with Kosmetic Surgery resident and co-promoter Tommy Four Seven, who returns with a third helping of cutting-electro house, so dirty you’ll be gagging for more.

Interview with Tommy Four Seven
Why Tommy Four Seven wants some Kosmetic Surgery! Who is Tommy Four Seven? This is a good question and you would be forgiven if you didn't know, but he is certainly a DJ and producer who is one to watch and you are certainly going to be hearing a lot more of him in the future. 18 year old Tommy Four Seven shot onto the London club scene less than 12 months ago, but already in that time he's created a bit of a storm. After only playing out a few times he impressed promoters so much with his fresh 'n filthy sound that he's bagged himself, not one, not two but three residencies. One was with monthly house party Kurruption and another as a coveted weekly slot at one of London's biggest after parties, Twist. But not content with his two residencies and regular guest gigs Tommy has not decided to co-promote a new 'electro party called "Kosmetic Surgery". The party which launches on Saturday 07th May aims to shake up the London electro scene by presenting an 'all night' party of the most cutting-edge electro house. Tommy describes it in a little more detail. Tell us about Kosmetic Surgery? What's special about it? It's the first electro night which will be open all night long. Most close at about 2pm. Kosmetic Surgery will be open till 6am. It will also provide the most cutting edge electro house on the scene. The idea came about from my weekly residency at Twist. I have a following of people who really enjoy what I do but were frustrated that they wasn't suitable place to hear my kind of music pre-Twist as well. Kosmetic Surgery aims to fill this gap. How did the name come about? Kosmetic Surgery as a name came about as we wanted to say a few different things. First of all, Kosmetic Surgery is looking to make a change on the already very established London Electro scene and offer a place where you can dress up or dress down. We also want to create an environment which allows artists to express themselves so they can push boundaries. Who will come to Kosmetic Surgery? We have a polysexual door policy so hopefully it will be 600 open-minded party people. We want people to leave their inhibitions and preconceptions at the door and come with the intention of having lots of fun. We hoping it will appeal to lots of different people who just want to come together for a fabulous celebration of fun, dressing-up and above all fantastic music. Tell us about Jacks (the Venue?) Jacks is has a very unusual and interesting past as it used to be a fetish venue. In terms of design, the main room is a big arch while the second room is a more intimate affair. It holds 600 people, is lovely and clean and has a bar that serves drinks at pub prices. When we were looking for a venue we walked in and immediately knew it was the right venue for us. It's also hidden down a side-street so you know everyone who turns up has the intention of being there, which is exactly our intention. Tell us about the Djs you're booking? Adam Sky has an amazing past and is one the biggest names in electro so we were incredibly happy to find out he was available to for May 07th. We also have King Roc who's mixed everything from Chicken Lips to Marc Almond. He's also an amazing DJ. The Synthetic Pleasures are just awesome. You have to see them to believe them. They have amazing lyrics and basslines. Sub:tracktor is also a very good warm-up DJ. It's important to get the right warm-up as it sets the tone for the whole night. The 2nd room is overseen by Ya Mam & Ya Dad who are known in the scene over for their outlandish behaviour. Finally there's and then of Jonty Skufff who as well as editing the best music fanzine is also the rising star of electro-clash and has played all the best electro parties across Europe. Describe the music? It's all things electro, but the best way for you to find out would be to come along and see for yourself.

Interview with Amber D, Rob Tissera and Ed Real
On 29th March we saw the birth of a fabulous new compilation brand Club Republic which is set to change the face dance of compilations forever as it breathes a breath of fresh air into dance music compilations. This new kid on the block gives DJs complete artistic control ensuring giving music lovers an authentic taste of today's dance-floors. First up is Hard Dance Republic which has mixes from three of hard house supremos Ed Real, Rob Tissera and Mixmag future hero winner Amber D. The CD is also the official CD for the 2004 Hard Dance Awards which took place at Polysexual at Air in February. The feature length DVD contains exclusive interviews with the winners and footage from the awards party which took place in February - So if you were there you might see yourself and if you weren't you can catch up on the gossip. To find out more about the CD I asked the DJs themselves what they thought of the album and why they think it's going to be a big hit with clubbers. Describe your CD. Why will people love it? Rob Tissera: I've created a CD which will get people excited every time they play it. Whether they're getting ready to go out, dancing at a party or while driving along in the car. I've re-edited every track and burnt them back to CD before mixing it live. This means you will get a very unique Tissera experience. Ed Real: My CD contains tracks voted for by you the public in the 2004 Hard Dance Awards. It's the biggest trax of the last 12 months and the public with cream their pants when they hear the selection! Amber D: Because its got a lot of great tunes on it, and quite varied tunes on it. I've even got a tune by Eric Prydz on there! What is your personal favourite track on your disk? Rob Tissera: Attack of the 50ft DJ by Sol Ray & Captain Tinrib. It's harder than my usual tastes, but it dares to be different so it just rocks. Ed Real: It's wall to wall anthems so I can't pick a favourite I'm affraid. Amber D: The first one on the CD. It's the one by Eric Prydz (Cirez D) How difficult do you find putting the CD together? How long does it typically take for you to create a CD Rob Tissera: It's always a stress doing compilations. You go through blood sweat and tears, but on this occasion I had some gems which made the job much more pleasurable than usual. Ed Real: It took me 70mins to mix and the hard dance fans did the hard work picking the selection. Overall, one of the most pleasurable compilation experiences of the last 5 yrs for me! Amber D: I had a week to work on this CD and I worked at it constantly! There are lots of compilations out there. Why will this new compilation series be better than the rest? Rob Tissera: The combination of Ed Real, Amber D and myself takes the listener on a fantastic journey across the whole harder edged musical spectrum resulting in a true representation of what's happening on the UK's harder dance floors. In clubs I often get people coming up to me in a club to ask if they can get a copy of what I've just played. My CD is just that. It's exactly what you'd expect me to play in a club such as Goodgreef, Tidy Frantic or Twisted. Ed Real: The DVD! An hour of music, interviews, sexy girls and boys on the dancefloor and of course, the Hard Dance Awards presented by two old trouts! Amber D: Because this compilation is made by us three of course, and we rock! Ha ha, no seriously, I think it's going to be a fab compilation as the three of us have quite different styles within Hard Dance so there's going to be something for everyone. What track do you predict will be big in 2005? Rob Tissera: My Favorite track of the year so far is Mad & Confused by Technikal and Mark French. Guyver's Remix is awesome. Amber D: Anything that Nick Rowland produces. He's one of the best producers Ive heard in recent years. I really love his stuff. Is your dancing as good as your DJing? Rob Tissera: You can't beat getting down. I quite like dancing too Ed Real: Better - come to one of my gigs and I'll show you 🙂 Amber D: No! It used to be though - I used to be a great dancer (especially when I was a cyber kid), and now I'm not! It's true what they say.... DJs cant dance.
