Meat Free Presents Youandewan & DJ October

MEAT FREE - JOSHUA BROOKS - FRI 19TH SEPT

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
After a five-month break, a string of successful residents nights and the lovely Tama Sumo helping us celebrate our 1st birthday in style, we are firmly back on the scene and super excited to be bringing two incredible artists to the Meat Free table. September 19th, we have the pleasure of welcoming Youandewan & October to the JB basement alongside the usual helping of inflatables, Meat Free residents and that beautiful Void Sound System.

As a DJ, Youandewan’s cultured and considered sets have earned him a residency at Leeds establishment System, whilst he’s also a regular guest at Wax:On. 
You can tell that by his music, be it's the doleful, dubby remixes of Maya Jane Coles, Gerry Read or Sei A he’s turned in, or the garage-tinged originals he has crafted for Skream’s Disfgured Dubz and London’s non-specifc bass hub, 2nd Drop. Of course, there’s also the notable “1988” (the first thing he ever produced and which was never intended to see the light of day) and a remix of Dusky’s “Lost in You” which regularly gets spun in the dusty dungeons of Berlin’s Berghain. But none of these really sum-up the reticent Leeds lad, for his loosely house and bass leaning sound is forever on the move.

October (Julian Raymond Smith) is a shining example of a renegade artist, constantly forging his own path rather than following the pack. Based in the musical melting pot of Bristol, he has been steadily rising in profle and creativity, both as a producer and as a DJ, since his frst label Caravan Recordings came into being back in 2007. In that short time his brand of of-kilter house and techno has also appeared on, Perspectiv, Misericord, Jack Of and Immerse, championed by the likes of Ewan Pearson, Ripperton and DJ Qu while also collaborating with peers such as Appleblim, Will Saul, Kowton and many more.
Signed to Skudge Recordings and Simple Records, DJ October has also been the driving force behind his new label 'TANSTAAFL' Records, which has been widely praised by the music press, and sets the course for more of the jacking dancefoor house and techno he is known for.
