Subject: (313) The Pace - new live act & sets
 
Hi all,

It's been ages since I posted anything new up here, as I've mostly been very 
busy with my new family over the past few years. But I'm pleased to say that 
I'm finally starting to do some new music again!

The main thing I'm working on is 'The Pace', a new live project that I'm doing 
with Guy Thackeray (DJ Guy, Non Stop DJs, Global Fire). This is a fully live 
act, with everything 100% programmed and played on the spot, nothing 
pre-recorded or planned (some more info pasted below)

We've got a couple of sets online that I reckon some of you might enjoy - 
plenty of Detroit and Chicago inspired goodness:

If you're over this side of the world you can also catch our debut performance 
at Plex on 5 October, along with Arpanet live, Donato Dozzy & Mike Parker.

Hopefully we'll have a vinyl release or two to announce shortly too..

Cheers!
Matt

The Pace


The Pace is the new project from two DJ/producers previously known for their 
techno and ghettotech output.  Jamming and looping up everything live on keys 
and drum machines, the duo ridebetween riff-laden techno, funked up electro and 
raw house jams, with no backing tracks, nothingpre-recorded, and no guess where 
they’ll end up taking the sound.

Both well known producers and DJs in their own fields, Matt Chester and Guy 
Thackeray have beenfriends since first working together as resident selectors 
and promoters of London’s Flashpoint partiesin 2004.  Each went on to play 
clubs and festivals from spots all over Europe to DEMF in Detroit, but itwas 
another 7 years before they got their gear together in the studio to see how 
live a live act could be.

Matt Chester is known for his exhilarating 3 deck DJ sets and livesets which 
range from deepmelody-heavy techno to jacking dancefloor funk, the live sets 
all performed on the fly on hardware synths and drummachines.  He’s played 
alongside the likes of Underground Resistance, Surgeon and Octave One,remixed 
techno mainstays from Terrence Dixon to DJ 3000 and his releases on the 11th 
Hour Recordingslabel have been favourites of DJs from Laurent Garnier to 
Anthony “Shake” Shakir and Convextion.DMC magazine described him as 'one of 
todays most exciting techno talents”.

Guy Thackeray has DJed around the world with his quick-fire mixing and 
genre-crossing style.  Takinghis influence from fast-paced Detroit selectors 
like DJ Assault, DJ Godfather and 12 Tech Mob, hissets as DJ Guy have mixed up 
electro, techno, bass and ghetto beats with the kind of turntable tricksyou 
don’t normally see outside of hiphop.  His productions and remixes lean towards 
the more melodicend of hook-heavy ghetto tracks, gracing the crates of 
underground booty DJs and big names likeRolando and Dave Clarke alike.

The Pace do what live acts rarely dare, laying down complete full-on tracks 
from scratch as they goand taking you along for the white-knuckle ride.
