Dancing on the Charles Part III this Saturday, 7.25.09- DJ Harvey!

DOTC's third installment this Saturday- you know the drill. Scenic city view, booze, great music, unmatchable atmosphere/vibe. Added to the mix for this installment is legendary UK disco house DJ Harvey who is touching down in New England for the first time (in his 20+ year career!) Harvey's early days involved drumming in a punk band as well as running in a hip hop/graffiti crew, not adding DJ-ing to his versatile background until later on when he began hosting his own house and disco residency in the UK and becoming well known for his sets that would stretch on for 6+ hours at times! Holding the distinction of being the first British DJ to play the Ministry of Sound, Harvey continues to expand his knowledge of house/disco to this day and has a song selection capability that is unmatched. Although he is far more known as a DJ than a producer, he continues to release some production as well as remix/re-edit work on labels such as Nuphonic and King Biscuit. You're going to be in for a treat.

The video below couldn't be better proof of how the song DJ plays supersedes the medium: the dude is mixing on a reel-to-reel deck! Bad sound quality on the video but cool to watch regardless. Below that is one of his tracks from '98 on Black Cock- these releases used to be very highly sought after, but it looks like they have recently been repressed, allowing a newer generation of DJ's to get in on the action.
