The end of July is already upon us but as hot as the weather may be, we’re turning it up - the action that is, not the heat on Friday 27th July over at Gallery HQ. In fact, in the air conditioned luxury of Turnmills, we’re handing the end of month accolade over to none other than Mr Judge Jules. Still a pivotal figure in dance music whilst so many have come and gone, no one can deny his thirst for new material, new artists and a commitment to rocking it right royally or as he would say like a geologists convention!! With his Ibiza night Judgement Sunday enjoying yet another record breaking year, a new compilation and a gig diary rammed to the rafters, it’s easy to see why the Radio 1 star is still as popular as ever!! Blank and Jones have done it all from produce the biggest (and still heavily battered) trance anthems to extensive touring of the world. Fresh from another album and its supporting world tour, they touch down in the UK for a rare gig. With a huge fan base, trance fans wax lyrical about this duo’s sets and productions. The Gallery has been a proud supporter for many years and in similar fashion to the years we have been supporting the likes of Christopher Lawrence who’s ascension to the top of the pile has seen every other club night jump the bandwagon… may we tell you from Gallery HQ that Blank and Jones are another, we told you so! John Askew is starting to enjoy the success he deserves. First though is to congratulate him on his new found responsibility as a father!! However he has a night off to come and showcase the now world renowned Discover sound that has made him critically acclaimed from the very top including Paul van Dyk. John has a new single in the shape of the massive ‘Chime’ and a new ‘Live As’ mix album, watch out for those!! Bryan Kearney one of John’s young stars from the Discover Camp touches down for his main room debut at the all important hour of 6 am. A real stand out Irish man and not just through his productions (regularly hammered by the biggest and best including forthcoming inclusions on Eddie Halliwell’s Cream Compilation ) but as one of Irelands most loved residents at Dublin’s The Vaults. He is also featuring at this years huge Planet Love Festival as well as notable appearances at the likes of Goodgreef already.

 

Joining him will be his partner in crime Gavyn Mytchel. The Gallery’s resident supremo has been breaking the Air Miles computer system with his pursuits over the last month, including the midweek knees up that is The Gallery Legends party at Kanya Bar in Ibiza! Warming it up nicely is an old Gallery favourite Bruno Lawton, one of the original winners of The Gallery DJ competition. For all those entering this year, come check out how to win it from one of the originals.

 

The Ibiza vibe carries on in T2 with our own slice of sunshine - the legendary Steve Lee, who brings us his monthly night of house music heaven, Joy. Pulling out all the biggest and best house tunes, he is joined by Mark Wilkinson and The Beginerz’ Euan MacNeil. Mark and his Kidology label have been enjoying continued success as well as his regular slot on Ministry of Sound Radio, whilst Euan continues to produce some of our favourite house tracks around. Finally in T3, look out for the return of Tweak&Bleep. Fresh from DJ sets around the country, the guys bring their revered promotion back to the ‘live room’. Anyone who saw the first ever outing and their full live visual show (involving the whole room being drapped as a visual) with 7 projectors will testify its an experience not to be missed. Not just flashing lights though, the critically acclaimed night has already showcased the likes of Hyper and Devils Gun so expect the unexpected this time as Craig H and Si McLean will be joined by an as yet unannounced Special Guest. Mmmm, I wonder who it can be…?
