Digital Devil release number six brings you house music by Greg Fenton, with his excellent EP Hot Mess.
Greg Fenton, is one of the key Manchester DJs and a renowned producer whose love of music is reflected in his mix of records. Making his name in the dance era and clubs like the Hacienda he was a key fixture in that mad period but is still out there on the cutting edge of today’s scene.
Since 1985 he has been involved in residencies at legendary clubs around the British Isles, originally from Belfast, he has been cited as an influence by artists such as The Chemical Brothers, and with regular slots at Hacienda, Golden, Back to Basics, and Shindig, Greg is a man who knows and loves his music, and has years of experience in knowing how to work a dancefloor.
His support of music also comes from his reviews, which he began back in 1991 for DMCs weekly Update magazine (formerly Mix-Mag Update). He currently reviews and interviews for magazinesixty.com and DMC Magazine, having previously written for i-DJ and M8 among others.
Gregâs participation in UK Dance culture has also occurred through his production work. Debuting with Silver City âLove Infinityâ which was Essential New Tune on Pete Tongs Essential Selection the song achieved nine consecutive weeks airplay. He has since co-produced as Soularis releasing five singles on Chicagoâs seminal Guidance Recordings and has gone on to record for labels such as Hed Kandi.
Today we are premiering “Hot Mess,” the title-track from his forthcoming EP. In the track piercing strings set a backdrop, as the dark bass line pushes the track forward. Awesome arpeggios bubble away in the background while the drums ride all over this track to carry it home. Perfectly placed percussion and the floating cavernous vocal sample come along for the journey.
