DISCO OUTCASTS 1ST BIRTHDAY
SATURDAY 25TH APRIL 2009
With special guest...
MAELSTROM (Eskimo Records)
So finally the Disco Outcasts are one year old. We’d like to thank everybody who has made our first year so special including all at the Pussy Cat, all the guest DJs, promoters we have been involved with and most importantly all the Outcasts who pack out our dance floor week in, week out!
We’ve invited a very special guest down from Glasgow for our birthday party, being Eskimo Records and Solar Disco’s very own discoid hot shot… MAELSTROM!
Maelstrom first came to prominence with a now infamous reworking of Metro Area’s seminal Miura and quickly gained support from the likes of Todd Terje and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy despite being his debut production.
Determined not to be a flash-in-the-pan producer, he was quickly signed up by the revered Belgian imprint Eskimo Recordings where his Balearic-tinged disco house sits perfectly alongside the likes of Aeroplane, Peter Visti and, of course, Lindstrom and Prins Thomas. His knack for cleverly crafting edits has also grown with releases on Mindless Boogie, Beard Science and his own Solardisco label.
Originally set up as a vehicle for his own productions, 2009 will see Solardisco go in to overdrive with releases and remixes from the likes of Ilija Rudman, Sankt Goran, Blackbelt Andersen, Brendon Moeller, Runaway and Nick Chacona to name but a few with a joint release planned with the uber-hip DFA Records in the summer.
As an accomplished DJ he has recently taken in gigs in Stockholm, Athens, Dublin, London (including the legendary Horse Meat Disco) and as far afield as Vilnius in Lithuania.
With more releases imminent on Eskimo, Mindless Boogie and Prins Thomas’ Internasjonal this year is shaping up nicely for the Glaswegian.

Damn, I was salivating over the thought of hearing the Maelstrom edits, especially the CJ & Co 'Devil's Gun' track as the original is one of my favourite tracks of any genre, a quality dancefloor weapon of choice...anyway, too slow off the mark, the links are long dead so I am forced to take the role of one of those whiny people who ask for a "re-up" (as I hear the young people call it) - I had no idea he was from Glasgow, I first discovered him through his Mindless Boogie offering (along with History Clock, my favourite label) and given some of his track titles, I had him pegged for being Croatian or someting east of Germany...delighted now I know he is here in the UK & if you guys ever play out in Nottingham it would be a pleasure to catch your set if the tracks you put up are anything to go by, quality music..enough said.
