Goodbye to the End

So after 13 years The End deciedes to throw in the towel and call it quits. The club made famous by their various Resident DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Layo & Bushwacka!, Mr C, DJ Marky, Erol Alkan, Ben Watt, Danny Howells, Derrick Carter, Steve Lawler and Fabio; with nights like Circo Loco, Cocoon, Bugged Out, Durrr, Chew The Fat, Superfreq and more.

Anybody who was anybody played there.....this was one of the premier club destinations in London and possible the world. This will be a sadly missed part of club culture & history!

Deep Life out now digitally!

Pete Dafeet - Deep Life EP is now out at all your favorite digital retailers!

Pete Dafeet - Deep Life EP out now on 12" Vinyl

After some delays with the pressing, we our proud to bring you Headtunes 5th vinyl release.

HTR 005 Deep Life EP is out now on 12" Vinyl
Out August 25th at all digital retailers.


Pete Dafeet is what you call a mover and shaker in this industry. At age 24, he has already started one of the world’s hottest house labels, Lost My Dog with partners in crime Strakes and Nags Modhwadia and has recently started a new label called Southside Shuffle. Pete is one of deep house’s young emerging artist, with a slew of sizzling releases on such labels as Uniform, Shaboom, Bosh Records, and Robsoul.

This EP is nothing short of spectacular. Pete takes you back to the time when house music moved the body and the soul. It was a time of innocence and excitement, when the music alone created the vibe. The Deep Life EP recreates that long lost vibe, with a new found sense of maturity and refinement.

A1. Time Under takes you on fun melodic journey through our world of love for everything deep, with soothing vocals and body shaking drums beats.

B1. Moscow is that track that will put smiles on people’s faces with its techy pop synth rhythm, and subtle bass line.

B2. Moscow (The Candy Dealers remix) take the original, turns it into a big room monster and drops in some hot new vocals.

Click on a track name to listen to audio preview of the track.

What they are saying:

Mark Farina - Charting Number 2!

Fred Everything - Moscow is my pick!

Johnny Fiasco - Very Solid release – feeling the deepness here!

Oivier Desmet - love the pads on "life in dub" - great slice of late night deep house. good stuff, full support at primal.

Murray Richardson - great ep all round, life in dub is a great track too...!

Atnarko - Life in Dub and TCD remix are my picks here. TCD offer a nice clubby feel to the package

Spettro - Love the fun, banging vibe the Candy Dealers turned out here! I’m really diggin the latin percussion too….will be playing this for sure
Damien Bailey (Special Interest) - A really nice ep. I’m lovin the candy dealers mix, we will be playing this!
Nacho Marco (Loudeast Records) - Following Pete´s career for a while now, and I think this is the best I´ve listened from him. Like the whole ep.
Rob G (Om Records - Endup / Harlot / Wish) - The original of life in dub is the one for me.

Blacksoul (Pressure Radio UK / SSRadio UK / Freelancer) - no doubt Pete is one of the best of new breed of UK deep house. like it and support it.

Ric Mcclelland (scope) - life in dub is real nice! i really dig pete's deeper sounds! will def. be playing this 1 out!!

Al Bradley (3am Recordings / Sankeys, MCR / Dirty Filthy, Burnley) - More class dubby output from Pete, he's a bit of a master at this "rolling groove" dubby groove stuff & I play so many of his tracks out it's sometimes a bit daft... Anyway, 'Moscow' is the cut for me, superb stripped down house, perfect for that bit of the night I love playing most i.e. the bit where you're teasing people & locking them into your vibe, just before the 'main' part of the night! 100% quality.

Tom Golden (Homegrown/Stylus) - Liking the funky vibes of the Candy Dealers remix, really cool.

Tyler Stadius - Sweet tunes. :)

Kelvin K - Life In Dub is the one for me! Can def use the Candy Dealers Remix also.

Sir Cosmic (www.myhouse-yourhouse.net) - Really dig life in dub, and the candy dealers remix of moscow.

James Connor - love the way the groove flows on track 3 - quality. love the break too, wicked sounds

DJ Linus - i´m very much into that spaced out house sound...

Matt Masters (Various/ Freerange Records Podcast/ Ibiza Sonica FM) - Life in Dub does it for me on here. Nice and deep...

Largest Record Collection in the World

I found this link on a forum and was totally overwhelmed by it.  This man has the largest collection in the world that is estimated to be worth $50 million dollars.  80% of his records are not commercially available anywhere.  

They are not on cd, not itunes, not on tape.....they are no where.  If only I could.....I would buy it all!

Headtunes Now available on AMIESTREET.com

Amiestreet.com is one of the hottest digi download sites out there at the moment. Songs start out free and then increase in price as demand dictates.
I have just finished uploading most of our catalogue so if you hit up Amiestreet.com then you will probably get our tracks LEGALLY for as little as nothing!

It's an awesome site and there are tracks up there from some of my own fav's not just in dance music but from the indie circuit too. Example... The Walkmen just recently released their album exclusively on Amiestreet.

Anyhow there is a $5 credit that Amiestreet will give our friends when they sign up and you can use it to buy a crapload of songs. Not a bad deal if you ask me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present Noise Destruction

We would like to welcome Noise Destruction into the Headtunes family. I have been a fan of these guys for a while and its a thrill for me to announce that we will be releasing a couple of their tracks in the coming weeks.

It's pretty fair to say that DJZ and FAKIR are the pioneers of house and techno culture in Serbia & Montenegro.They started as NOISE DESTRUCTION in 1992. although they met in 90. Their interest in HIPHOP and later ACID HOUSE resulted with collaboration and when their first bootleg/single called "Laki is a little nervous" became really big in clubs,duo decided to continue producing music. During the 90's they were responsible for building the scene in the country through their residencies in clubs,TV and RADIO shows and shocking live acts. Their first international recognition was through German NEUFORM label with 3 singles which came out during 1997-1998 In 1999. when EXIT festival started DJZ and FAKIR were involved and they stayed residents for this biggest festival in eastern europe for 4 years. NOISE DESTRUCTION performed live in june 2007. with CHEMICAL BROTHERS and on DANCE ARENA / EXIT festival in july 2007.After a long brake new tracks are coming out and they are starting their own label called Boomerang Fish with two sublabels Stativa and Vaseline Kamikezes. Noise Destruction will start hosting a internet radio show called Boomerang on greek Dance radio.

Markus Mehta "India" out now!

Our boy Markus Mehta has a new release out this week called India on Great Stuff Recordings. Great tech-house number. We've also have a new mix and his chart for July.

Enjoy!

Markus Mehta “India“

Great Stuff Recordings // AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

“My track INDIA which I‘ve just completed will be part of Great Stuff‘s second big compilation “Great SummerGames Stuff“. It‘s been a pleasure to work on this one, especially because I was able to work a bit of my roots into this track. My father is from India and my mum is German. I hope you will enjoy the end result, which is a very modern, heavy compressed, sexy tech house tune. My style is normally different from what Great Stuff is releasing but I am very happy that they invited me to be a part of this diverse project.“ - Markus

Beatport Link for India: Beatport

Check out his new mix and chart!

Markus Mehta “Trails“

DJ Mix - July 2008

Get it from Sendspace
Get it from Megaupload

“Trails“ gives you an idea of the tracks and styles I really like these days. Everything is much slower and more housier again but still with a very techy structure. I call it Techno with an futuristic House feeling. The mix builds up in a very organic way and leads you nicely through the various moods and grooves.“ - Markus

02. Falko Brocksieper “Zychological“ Sub Static
