☃ Edwin van Cleef has become a tastemaker of choice; snapping at the heels of The Magician and Aeroplane, thanks to the online success of his monthly mix charts. His remix work includes Chilly Gonzales, Grum, Mighty Mouse, The Futureheads, and Kitsuné’s very own Housse De Racket.
The title track of the Never Be Alone At Night EP features vocals from Chicago band Gemini Club. Remixes include the legendary Mighty Mouse, Pharao Black Magic and RAC’s Blue Satellite. Much loved on the blogs, it’s also scoring high marks with DJs: Stuart Price, Scissor Sisters, and The Aston Shuffle (Australia’s Triple J Radio).
“An electro-pop killer which fans of indie-disco a la Kitsuné will die for.” Juno
Also on the EP, DJ weapon Triton, has featured in the mix charts of Aeroplane, VillA, Mustang, U-Tern (Oliver) and Monarchy, picked up huge support from Alex Metric and Starsmith… and now getting airplay on BBC Radio 1 (UK) and Ego FM (Germany).
☃ SLEEPER – The love child of a composer and radio head, Sleeper was raised by instruments and gypsies. Growing up in Washington DC, he listened to mom on the radio by day and fell asleep to dad giving violin lessons by night.
Coming from a long generation of musicians, there isn’t a music making device he hasn’t played or broken. When a turntable found him freshman year at Indiana University, Sleeper was born.
He immediately dived into radio and the DJ battle circuit. Sleeper started two shows on local and college airwaves then battled his way up to one of the Top 8 DJs on the planet in the 2006 World Series Turntable Championship.
Now based in Los Angeles, his music has been featured on ESPN, MTV, URB, The Miami Herald, and Scratch magazine. Stretching across genres, generations and styles, his ability to remix live while incorporating turntablism into his blends creates a sound that is distinctly his own. Sleeper’s Michael Jackson remix stayed at #1 on both Hype Machine charts for more than a month and made it to Zeitgest’s Best Songs of 2009.

Whether deck or dinner plate, Jesse Tittsworth’s insatiable hunger questionably devours whatever is put in front of him. His food preferences veer past strange: his favorite meal is live octopus. His appetite was just as fierce in 2004, when the Chinese-American carnivore from Washington D.C. almost immediately leap-frogged from local favorite to international DJ headliner.
Once established as a DJ, Tittsworth immediately began to dig into his next course as a producer. With his remixes on Radio One and in influential Top 10 lists, soon the growl for original material couldn’t be ignored; in 2008 his debut album 12 Steps on Plant Music was released to critical acclaim by Billboard, DJ Mag, and URB. More original material is bubbling in 2011 with the release of the 2 Strokes Raw EP (Plant Music).
Tittsworth as musician is one type of meat, Tittsworth as entrepreneur is another. In 2006 Tittsworth established his own label with DJ Ayres: T&A Records. In 2010 he became a co-owner of U Street Music Hall, a world-class night club with an ever-present line for sold-out shows. 2011 offered a new signature dish: the launch of Tittsworth.com, a first-look lifestyle site featuring music, food, tattoos, humor, and the macabre.

ABOUT MAT THE ALIEN:
Let’s clear something up. Technically Mat is not an alien. He was born near Manchester and moved to Canada in the mid 90’s to follow his snowboarding addiction But that’s where things get weird. On the flight over, the airplane was overtaken by what appeared to be a massive electrical storm over the Atlantic and was out of contact for thirty minutes and when it reappeared it was in essentially the same spot as before-.” Alien contact? I don’t know, have you ever heard Mat spin records? He had been dj’ing since 1998 and developed his style while working in his family’s record store in Bury, England (opened by his dad at age 4, but it wasn’t until after he arrived in Canada that his turntable abilities suddenly jumped to new heights. Heights later described by Knowledge Magazine as, “Awe inspiring. Some next level shit.” “Who knows what happened on the plane?” he says. “I think If I can reproduce that alien sound , I should be able control minds and communicate through sound to people from all over the world.” Mat has toured across the globe , pioneering 4-turntable club nights in Whistler and Vancouver, and with crates as deep as a black hole combined with mixing and scratching skills he is considered among the best by anyone who sees him , Mat was chosen to represent Canada and rock the party at Canada House during the 2006 Winter Olympics.
*In light of the sudden death of our homie and friend, DJ AM, here is a re-up of the interview we did and photos of the 1 night we got to kick it with him. A short time in his prescence, but grateful for the opportunity we had. Was an honor *
Refreshing. Humbling. Generous. 3 words to describe DJ AM and what impression we’ve been left with over the last few months. Let’s get started…
The man is a superstar DJ absolutely no doubt. The main thing that comes along with celebrity status is Ego. Well Ego seems to have stayed far, far away from AM. Over the last couple months AM has guest listed us at his club LAX in Hollywood. On his way through Vancouver he came by the School Of Mix after the club and played an afterhour set for like an hour and a half. I’d tell you how much it cost but we never spoke about money. He answers all his own emails and granted us an interview as well. Here is that interview and photos of the night.
1. Schitz: You have one of the craziest schedules in the game, hopping from country to country city to city…when you’ve got some time to yourself, where do u go and what do you do to chill out??
DJ AM: I like to go HOME! No joke, I worked very hard for years on my house and its my favorite place to be. I love it here and if I am off, I am usually here trying not to leave.
2. Schitz: It seems in this day and age DJ’ing and Producing go hand in hand. You haven’t done too much original production at this point… Is that something you would like to pursue more of or do you have anything on the horizon?
DJ AM: I was a producer before I was a DJ. I actually taught a producer named The Alchemist how to produce beats, and he taught me how to DJ. Funny we both went the other way. I just did a remix with Steve Aoki for Autoerotique. Its pretty cool. Eliand I did a Weezer one too.
3. Schitz: Internet has revolutionized music in every single aspect of the business. Are you a supporter of sites like music blogs and forums that promote artists and their music or do you feel it’s hurting the industry in anyway??
DJ AM: I am a supporter. Its over. No one will ever go buy CDs the way we did 10 years ago. That is not going to change no matter what. Its crazy, but its true.
4. Schitz: It seems in this day and age anybody and everybody can be a DJ with the help of software, the Internet and a computer. What’s your take on the music scene and the DJ’s, Producers and Artists that are currently runnin schit around the globe?
DJ AM: I have no problem with the people that want to be DJs. Its fun! Its my life and always will be. I have a problem (but like everything else, I am powerless over it to an extent) with the promoter that will hire a NAME who can’t DJ and has never paid any dues, just so people come. Even if the music sucks and they can’t mix, they get the job over someone who has put in hours and days of work, just cause they are a celeb or have a name. I make NO mistakes about one thing. I AM NOT A CELEBRITY, I am a DJ and FEW people think I am one cause I have been in mags a few times. But I am just a lucky ass DJ. BUT, I AM A DJ. So I hope I get hired based off that, not off who I bring with me.
5. Schitz: What about the state of the fans that come out to support those acts? Do you feel sometimes its more about an image more so than the music??
6. Schitz: You co-own the massive Deckstar management agency and get to knock around with some of the biggest DJ’s and Producers in the industry. What is the criteria Deckstar uses to zero in on a potential candidate?
DJ AM: There are 3 owners of Deckstar, I have the final say though on any new talent. If they are on Deckstar, it’s cause I approved them.
7. Schitz: What is the last DJ Mix or the last Album you listened to start to finish and do you recommend it?
DJ AM: DJ Spinbad 90s mix… I have listened to it 30 times and even though some of the music is bad, NO ONE does it like Spinbad does it. He is the greatest Mix CD DJ that has ever lived. His 2nd 80s CD is still to me the best mix CD ever made.
8. Schitz: Best gig so far in ’09?
DJ AM: I would say BFD in Northern Cali that I played on June 6th. It was insane. I love Northern Cali.
9. Schitz: Top 3 tracks your feelin at the moment?
10. Schitz: Do you ever take your cat on the road and if so does he kill it with the ladies?
DJ AM: Hahaha I wish I could bring Muggsy. He has his own folder on my blackberry of pics of him I took and that’s enough for me. He would be mad pissed if I brought him. He likes my house too!
Schitz got the chance to play with Fashen in whistler as well. He is also under theDeckstar umbrella and was mad cool. He came back to the hotel room and kicked it after that gig too… You may remember that post right HERE!
Here is a WORLD EXCLUSIVE, YES WORLD EXCLUSIVE taste of whats to come…
