You lucky, lucky people...

What? You're in Cape Town? Tonight? Ok... well, answer this question smart-ass... Why the fuck are you not going to Killer Robot presents: Claudia Lovisa? Were I in your dancin' shoes, that's where I'd be going. Not that my longing for a quality club night should convince you to do the same, no, you need something more. Claudia recently hit us up with a couple of mixes and so, for the sake your party future, I urge you to listen to this...

Amelie Promo February 2009

This precision dose of "smooth" is the work of Claudia Lovisa & Sophie Oliver. Performing together as Amelie, the team regularly turns the heat up on the dance floor for Audiofly who have recently signed the talented pair to their label, Supernature.

The mix itself sparkles! Beautifully selected and elegantly mixed, there is something about this kind of deep and sexy House flavoured Techno that daydream-teleports me to a intimate dance floor. A dance floor full of pretty people. Smooth dudes and sexy girls with shiny, happy faces not giving a shit about what tomorrow might bring... or something like that. It doesn't hurt that Luciano & Richie Hawtin's "I want to fuck" rears it's head around 16:49 either.

Claudia has been kind enough to agree to an interview so we'll be catching up with her when she's back in London for a look back on the party that was or in my case, the party that wasn't.

Have you met Magda?

Well I hadn't. Not until last night. I couldn't sleep for the fourth night in a row. The blame is on jet lag this time and not my amorous housemate, he's away this weekend.

I was scouring the nether regions of the Internet looking for God knows what and I stumbled across Magda. Well, her top 10 anyway, but it was enough information to make me want to dig a little deeper. There is a lot of information about her and she's been around for a while so I'll just stick to the facts.

No Words

Her full name is Magdalena Chojnacka. She's Polish but grew up in the states. In 1996 she started DJing the shit out of the underground party scene under the guidance of Dan Bell and Claude Young and quickly became a Detroit favourite. Around 1999 her selections became decidedly more minimal. She then caught the attention of Detroit's second wave pioneer, the legendary Richie Hawtin. She's his protege now and no 1 choice for opening act whenever he plays. When Richie fucking Hawtin says "Hey Magda. Come to my house. I'll show you how I do what I do and while we're at it, you can copy all my music" you know everything is going to be ok. Check out her top 10, download the mix, pay attention to her selection and flawless technique. She's producing now and that is a very, very good thing.
