Shuffle presents.... Thomas Gandey (Cagedbaby)
September 11th see's the start of 16 weeks of massive line ups at Shuffle culminating in a massive New Year Eve Carnival event......
Bordeaux and Brighton based DJ/Producer Thomas Gandey has an exciting year ahead. Usually known for his songs and his trademark poppy tech-disco sound in his Cagedbaby guise, he has been holed up in his studio in the South of France working on a raft of new material that is more akin to the sound that packed dance-floors have been moving to during his DJ sets over recent months. Pushing technological boundaries whilst never losing sight of keeping his audience entertained, his now trademark DJ style (an alluring mix of tough techno and sexy nu disco) has further influenced what he does in the studio and a series of releases aimed squarely at the dance-floor are forthcoming.
Having released his stunning "Will See You Now" album, as well as the "Fried And Tested" compilation with Fatboy Slim - both on Southern Fried Records, as well as compilations for Pacha, DJ Mag and a Radio 1 Essential Mix, Thomas has been hard at work in the studio working on new material, not least his latest remixes for The Editors, The Temper Trap, Grace Jones and Alphabeat which have received love and support from key tastemakers like Pete Tong, Radioslave, Sasha and Aeroplane.
Whilst not in the studio, Thomas tours internationally as a DJ (including 4 shows for Pacha Ibiza, Space and Wonderland in Ibiza), Australia, Asia and the USA in 2009, and has an exciting summer program for 2010 including a residency for We love at Space in Ibiza.
When it comes to production Thomas does everything himself in the studio. A classically trained pianist and self confessed analogue synth head Gandey’s wide musical influence shows in his unique productions, as varied as they are unique.
Set all this along side several collaboration projects with good friends like, Radioslave, Kris Menace, Fatboyslim, Tracey Thorn to name but a few means that Thomas Gandey is a name that will undoubtedly be popping up in your 'floorfillers' playlist this year as he releases his new material on Southern Fried Records.
5 sellout events on the row, not too bad a summer for our resident DJs LJ FREEMAN and GEOFF TICEHURST supporting Thomas this evening
LJ has graced the decks at many a party from Sankeys in Manchester to Bora Bora in Ibiza, and Geoff has been Urban Gorilla and Bug resident in the City whilst also plying his trade at the likes of Sankeys and Turnmills.
Basically they really know what they're doing and have proven they can match any guest DJ that comes their way. You'll know the faces (and tunes) of the both of them as they play every single weekend, sandwiching the guest usually. This weekend we'll get the lot, deep warm-up tunes, tech rollers, peak-time hands in the air monsters and heads down no nonsense house bangers.
