Yo,

Many thanks from all the ColorTv crew for making our first ‘ColorTv Live’ night a huge success. It was great to see so many people supporting local producers & the feedback from you guys has been great so we’ll be doing other one soon!

Now to more pressing matters, we’re delighted to announce Simon Beeston – Highgrade Records Berlin will be making his Irish debut Saturday April 24th. I can tell you straight up, the whole ColorTv crew are buzzin’ about this!

Simon Beeston hails from Auckland New Zealand, but now calls Berlin home. Drawn by his love of electronic dance music and the cities unique feeling of creativity and musical passion, Berlin seemed an obvious choice for an artist whose ambitions aim well beyond the South Pacific.

While living and working in China, Simon was so disturbed by the lack of quality music in clubs that he started playing it himself. After moving back to New Zealand he discovered his friends had also developed a passion for house and techno music and got together to promote a series of parties and club nights with a focus on quality music and DJ’s unwilling to compromise their musical tastes.

Simon first came to Berlin in 2004 to play gigs in various clubs, including a set at the original Tresor. He returned to play New Years Eve 2005, and made the move to Berlin permanently in 2006. The unique party culture and the vast array of musical expression in the city are a huge inspiration to any artist and Simon Beeston is no exception. You can often find him dancing near the front of the club until the last record spins!

Simon has been producing music for seven years and continues to push his sound in new directions. Influenced by house, techno and minimal, it would be difficult to put his music into any one category, but his tracks always have both feet on the dance floor , an irresistible groove and a unique array of samples and sounds. As a DJ Simon plays a bionic, club moving mix of tech house, techno, and house, full of subtle musical hooks and crunchy percussion. His innate ability to program a set from peak time to rolling grooves never fails to keep dancers on the floor.

2008 was an exciting year for Simon, with Krankenwagen, the first release on District of Corruption followed by a second track on the Don't Share Needles EP, and 'Horn Fed' out in September on Highgrade Digital. In December 'Floorboards' hit the decks on Bond Records and 'Idle Housewives' was out in Jan 09.

The year 2009 proved to be even more outstanding, with multiple DJ sets in Berlins premier venues, Watergate and Panorama Bar, as well as a string of releases and gigs abroad with Highgrade. Simon's solo 12" EP, "Dusty Back Room" was released on Highgrade Records in December.
