Hectors 7th Birthday Pt. 1: Maurice Fulton [3 hours]
Shout once again to everyone who made our last party at Sneaky Pete’s so special. Jamie 3:26 is returning to the Scottish capital real soon (August 5am facer in a brand new never before used 300 cap space anyone ?), more about that in the next week or so ?
Next-up for us at Sneakys though, we’re kicking off our 7th (!!!!!!!!) birthday celebrations and we’ve finally bagged a guest we’ve been after for years. We are super proud to present one of electronic’s music true enigmas, the inimitable, Maurice Fulton ?
Hailing from Baltimore, you may know him as a solo artist or for his collaborations with the likes of Róisín Murphy and Kathy Diamond (‘All Woman’ ?). He is the he man behind Crystal Waters’ ‘Gypsy Woman’ (one of the most successful house tunes of the early 90s!), the huge Hectors anthem, ‘Where’s Jason’s K’, and the stunning remix of Alice Smith’s ‘Love Endeavour’. His prolific back catalogue speaks for itself and he has been key to the growth of house music worldwide. Over the years he’s become the darling of the both of the underground house and leftfield scenes due to his enviable talent. Often linked to contemporaries likes Carl Craig, Derrick May, and Franke Knuckles, his textured sounds and complexity of production continues to astound the masses hence building such a loyal fan base. The Wire said he is ‘probably the most rhythmically inventive producer working in electronic dance music right now’.
Maurice nails what few artists manage to do particularly well, and that’s to DJ as well as they produce. His mighty fine selection skills mean he plays out across the world on a weekly basis at the finest venues, festivals, and parties out there. Think Alfredo Festival, Panorama Bar, Art’s House, Rex Club, Mint Club (RIP), fabric, El Diablo’s Social Club, Percolate, De School, and Dimensions. To have locked-down an evening in a 100 capacity venue with one of the most in-demand geniuses out there is the stuff of dreams, so we’re particularly excited for this party.
Fulton will join us in the Scottish capital on Saturday 4th May to play a 3 hour set at our 7th Birthday Shindig Pt.1. On warm-up duties, as per, is Edinburgh Don and AOTN representative, Gareth Sommerville.
Tickets priced £5-16 will go on sale on Friday (29/03) morning at 9am. Similar to Jamie we expect the full advanced allocation to go well ahead of doors opening so please get organised and purchase cheaper advance tics to save your money for liquid looseners on the night.
In the fickle world of clubland, reaching 7 years, especially for a weekly, is no small achievement so we can’t wait to celebrate with a lucky 100 of you and one of dance music’s true legends.
Roll on the start of May ?
