Latest News - 2 Days To Go

So who knew that you cannot message your guest list on Facebook now?  Facebook pisses me off more and more every week.

On the bright side, Facebook reckons we have 50 people attending!

However, as I just re-learnt, trust Facebook at your peril.

Anyway, we have an announcement and an opportunity...of sorts.

Firstly Samantha and James are swapping their DJ sets around so the line-up is now:


16:00 - 17:30 Samantha Bond
17:30 - 19:30 KingPinn
19:30 - 21:00 James Winfield
21:00 - 23:00 Sebastian Klone
23:00 - Midnight - James & ???

Secondly James will probably be too ruined to play the last hour by himself (I can say this because I am James) and Samantha cannot be there for the closing hour or two, so we thought it would be nice to open up the opportunity to anyone who fancies playing a couple of tunes.

Two rules:

NO ELECTRO-HOUSE
NO DUBSTEP

Wait a minute, make it three rules - NO RIHANNA.

Actually make it a lucky seven rules - NO GUETTA, NO DRUM'N'BASS, NO HARD HOUSE, NOTHING THAT WOULD BE PLAYED ON FRIAR STREET.

So anyone who fancies playing a couple of tracks, bring a cd or two, or a record or two and make yourself known.

We are not sure what the demand will be so if you want to be guaranteed your 10-15 minutes of Free House Project fame then please ask in advance of Saturday.

Oh and you won't be getting the last two tracks of the evening.

And finally, our third party will be on Saturday 3rd November.  And yes we are looking for DJs.

DJ Announcement For Free House Project 2

Free House Project are delighted to announce the two guest DJs for our next party on Saturday 1^st September 2012 (though if you are particularly observant you may have worked it out already).

Firstly playing the 530pm-730pm slot, is Kingpinn.  You may recognise him, or know him, from the TNT house parties from the mid-2000’s in Reading at such venues as the Warwick Arms, Fez Club or latterly, Mango (before it went shit).  Known for playing a mixture of good quality house – if you expect music along the lines of Dennis Ferrer, you shouldn’t go far wrong.  Other priorities in life such as his wonderful young family mean it is a rare treat to hear him out and about behind the decks, that and a lack of venues willing to play good house music.  We hope you approve.

The second guest, is Sebastian Klone, who has recently returned fresh from a spell in Canada, and unlike our previous guest DJ, he can regularly be found playing in and around Reading, and also some warm-up slots in London clubs, along with his weekly radio show on Hoxton FM.  Also well-known for being part of the excellent Lunar parties at Mango a few years back. A slightly more deep, progressive and perhaps at times tech-house kind of style is what he is more known for, and given a 2 hour slot between 9pm and 11pm, will be sure to bring the party to the next level.  He has promised to ditch the laptop and play CDs which is what we like to hear (and the only thing we ask, apart from excellent music).

And of course you still have the two residents, James Winfield and Samantha Bond, playing 4pm to 530pm, and 730pm to 9pm, respectively, and then a back-to-back for the last hour until midnight.

We hope you can join us and help establish Free House Project as a regular house music party, and feel free to add yourself to the list of attendees on Facebook.

Love, FHP x

Exciting Free House Project Announcement!

In the first of a series of exciting Free House Project announcements to come over the next few days, I am delighted to announce that Samantha Bond had not only agreed to be resident, but also a full partner, director and curator in Free House Project.

Samantha brings not only a wealth of experience of DJing, she has valuable promotional experience too and a fantastic amount of creativity to bring to the party.  And perhaps even more importantly, believes in the ethos of the Free House Project and I fully welcome her on board.

We probably have the DJs lined up for the next party, subject to confirmation, however we are always interested in hearing from DJs who feel they may have something to offer so if you think you do please send a link to a mix to us.  Remember – cds and vinyl only, and the party is generally a house music party (though we are persuadable!).  One final tip – if you mix contains tracks that David Guetta or Swedish House Mafia play, you might want to think again...

More to come soon on our guest DJs for the September party - and don't forget the Mixcloud page.
