Shiva residency Launch Party @ The Island -Soul Avengerz & Steve Smart

SHIVA:The Call Of The Island....

 

 

 

Saturday 23rd February

Shiva residency Launch @ The Island

10pm to 6am

 

 

 

In a world where dancing is a tribal and innate impulse. In a land where house music is reverred and loved. But in a city where nightclubs are closing at a rapid rate - tucked away behind Heaven and down a secret alley, the hidden entrance of The Island is the perfect escape from the outside world and Shiva are the purveyors of the music to keep our souls alive and our feet dancing. This is your playground. Your gateway to enlightenment. Your haven of pure bliss.....

 

The Island is that haven next to Heaven. You will certainly be safe in the knowledge that this is your platform to be free and that Shiva will provide escapism of the highest order. Trust us. We are never wrong.....

 

 

We are acutely aware that music has the power to move us like nothing ever before. We share the same love of those spine-tingling moments of aural ecstasy as you. We crave for the music to take us. We embody the feeling of unison during moments of lunacy on the dancefloor. We are a family and we want you to be a part of it. Let's grow together....

 

 

 

The Island has the set-up of a superclub but the feel of an intimate venue - amazing high ceilings, two beautiful rooms - one very much with a glamorous, heavenly ballroom feel and the other; petite, dark, and with piercing lasers, perfectly made for the darker sounds! There's also a stunning mezzanine VIP level and balcony, a plethora of cream-leather sofas (ready to engulf you when you're tired!) and a Funktion One sound system throughout for maximum audio potential. We are sure you'll appreciate that!

 

Our selection of DJs are hand-picked with the sole purpose of being able to provide the most consistent stream of uplifting, high-energy, feel-good and melodic house music. Yet we're also aware that we can be partial to a bit of twisted, sleazy, filthy and gritty electro music, too. Everyone has a darker side! We deploy our DJs and give them one instruction: to ensure people are dancing from the moment they set foot through the doors, all the way through until the second they leave....

Simple.

 

Headlining the event will be, the mighty Soul Avengerz in The Island room and the equally mighty Steve Smart in the Vault room....

 

 

 

THE SOUL AVENGERZ:

Paul Gardner and Wayne O'Connell are no newcomers to the industry, being an integral part of the London house scene for over a decade now. But it's only recently that they've have garnered the long overdue, and much deserved, worldwide recognition they have been striving for.

 

In today's climate, most artists carve out a production profile before proving themselves as DJs. It is this that often leads to most artists productions being more dance floor orientated the more experienced they become, as they gain that all important first-hand knowledge of what it takes to rock a packed dance floor. As DJs first and foremost, Paul and Wayne already had intimate knowledge of what worked in the main rooms up and down the country, so it was a simple case of applying this knowledge to their production work, and it is this that has led to their incredibly fast rise to fame.

 

With dancefloor smashes coming thick and fast including: 'Love You Feel', 'Sing', 'Don't Let The Morning Come' and 'Bodyrock' - 2008 looks to be a very exciting year. Expect to hear some exclusive new studio material on the night, too....

 

 

STEVE SMART:

Steve Smart is one of the fastest growing names in dance music and radio, presenting the Kiss flagship Saturday night 'Floorfillers' programme, the 'Friday Night Kiss' broadcast and Sunday's legendary 'Kisstory' show.

 

Steve's reputation has led to his show being host to the cream of dance music's heavy hitters including Sasha (who really doesnt do much radio at all, but supports Steve's show) Mark Knight, Tom Neville, Darren Emerson, Nic Fanciulli, James Zabiela and Carl Cox to name just a few.

 

The music that Steve plays is also a reflection of his ability to foresee future dancefloor hits. Past tracks that Steve has exclusively aired on radio include the massive 'Phantom Part 2' by Justice, Deadmau5, Adam K and Soha and more recently the infectious 'Uninvited' by the Freemasons which have all gone on to be big-hitters. The style of music which Steve incorporates into his sets embraces funky house and electro. His knowledge of music expands further and also enables his DJing to incorporate wider genres.

 

 

 

 

We want you to be giving it all you've got with a stranger while you're on the dancefloor. We want you to be tapping away while you're waiting at the bar. We even want you to be nodding your head while you're sitting down for a breather! Because it's those moments that stand out from the rest. The moments you completely let yourself go.
