Staying true to their creed that it’s not big names but the music that matters, this Saturday 24th of August the residents will be joined by the young face but now familiar figure of Telford. Fresh and local, we’re keeping it in the Subculture family.
In 2001, while his friends were still out playing football and getting excited about girls (and possibly boys), a fourteen year old called Telford, was buying House records and probably being picked on for being a nerd and calling himself by his surname.
The mid noughties saw this young man all grown up and firmly ensconced in the Sub Club but behind the bar rather than behind the decks. However post-pint pulling and with ready access to bend the ears of the leading lights of House, an opportunity to play records in a real club wasn’t slow in presenting itself.
Now still only 27, he is already an accomplished Subculture resident, playing alongside Jeff Mills, Larry Heard, Theo Parrish, Âme et al. and of course Harri & Domenic. From sets at Sonar in Barcelona to epic eight hour sets in Berlin’s Katerholzig his name is a welcome addition to line ups at underground clubs throughout Europe and the UK. Here he is alongside Ali Ooft! on remix tip with ESA…

Reluctant to speak about himself, he prefers to let his imaginative sets do the talking. Concentrating on creating a feeling and building a groove, his diverse use of house and techno can draw even the most recalcitrant feet onto the dance floor. Singularly minded, committed to his craft and almost puritanical in his purpose, he concentrates solely on being a DJ in the truest sense. Perceptive of his audience, brave, innovative and not afraid to take a risk, he plays with the single aim of taking the night somewhere special.
A DJ who plays music to make people dance. What could be more wonderful than that?
He has recorded this Subculture Mix as a snapshot of what to expect this Saturday. After listening back, it’s hard to pick out a favourite track with so many excellent examples of his musical style.
