Louche
Wolf + Lamb Showcase
Saturday 18th Septmber
The Mint Club
Louche bring you a very special line up for our reopening party. This
September we welcome one half of Wolf & Lamb Gadi Mizrahi, his
label artist Le Loup & men of the moment Art Department for their
amazing Live show to the Mint Club.
Wolf + Lamb Records was born at the turn of the millennium, when Gadi
met the label's co-owner Zev Eisenberg. Together they had a clear
vision of what they wanted to create; a label which broke the mould,
and an outlet to release their own, then unique, brand of house music.
Twelve years on and the label is now at the very forefront of the
electronic scene; Resident Advisor named it the #3 label of the year
last year. Such modern artists as Soul Clap, Nicolas Jaar and Lee Foss
owe much to W + L, having some of their first releases on the label,
kick starting their blossoming careers.
As a producer and as a DJ, Gadi's devious style of house has earned him
international praise and gigs at clubs like Fabric, Watergate and Club
der Visionaire. When producing as Wolf + Lamb with Zev or working solo,
Gadi shows a refined understanding of how to make a party move with
sounds that are ceaselessly deep, weird and totally fresh. His solo
releases on labels such as Simple Records or more recently his album
"Love Somone" as production duo Wolf + Lamb have been some of the
finest releases of the year. As well as all this he finds time to put
together one of the most talked about events in NYC where Wolf + Lamb
artists and extended family get together for the special label party
held at The Marcy Hotel. With such prolific work as an artist, label
boss & party starter Gadi Mizrahi is currently one of electronic
music's most influential trendsetters.
Supporting is Frenchman Leonard Perret AKA Le Loup, who is no stranger
to W + L, having released his See Line EP back in May 2009, and has
since composed a string of remixes for the label. The young Parisien
developed an early taste for music, discovering the joy of DJing and
crate digging for rare records when he was just sixteen. He studied
sound engineering at the Institut Supérieur des Techniciens du Son in
Paris, where he learnt to fuze his influences together into what is
undoubtedly Le Loup's sound today; a tribute to artists from Nina
Simone to Moodymann, from Marvin Gaye to Daniel Bell. Le Loup tunes and
edits have also been released on Eklo, Esperanza and Remake Musique,
and with a busy touring schedule on the horizon, things are looking
great for Leo.
And finally we are very proud to present men of the moment, fresh of
the back of being signed to Crosstown Rebels, Art Department. The
Canadian maestros Jonny White and Kenny Glasgow are blowing up big
time, and are drawing plaudits from just about everyone; Simple label
boss Will Saul called their live set "the best thing we've heard since
we heard Matthew Jonson for the first time", after witnessing their
exhilarating and ground breaking live set at WMC this year. He's not
alone. A performance which consists of Jonny's sublime workings on a DJ
setup, and Kenny's rich and soulful live vocals moved Soul Clap to hail
them as "Making the best music on the planet right now", and their
first release, featuring the deep, dark, synth-driven masterpiece
"Without You" will surely be heard far beyond Mint's dancefloor over
the coming months. They fly in to Europe this September for a handful
of exclusive dates including Circoloco & of course Louche, make
sure you come down to see without doubt, the hottest property in dance
music.
Expect an excellent night of intelligent modern house music as we kick
start the new season with one of our biggest line ups to date
