If it's one producer that you can count on for some of the finest and most sopisticated 4x4 sounds is New York producer Brian Cid. With a CV that is practically flawless, the artist has not only worked with the likes of Beyoncé, Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga and more, he has also worked with legendary house mainstay Todd Terry. Having released material on various labels, including his own Extinct Records, Cid now returns with a monster of an EP titled 'Hidden'. Comprised of two original cuts, the title is a sleek and enchanting taste of the deeper side of house whilst 'Costa Verde' is a marriage of rumbling percussion underneath dark-tech inceptions.
Liverpool clubnight 303 has caused quite a stir in their city, bringing the likes of Andrew
Weatherall, Dave Clarke, Daniel Avery and Slam to the scouse rave stronghold over the past few years. After selling out Manchester’s Joshua Brooks with techno tyrant Surgeon in September 2015 and following that with Slam in February, they’re now setting up shop a few miles down the M62 on a permanent basis this summer with the launch of sister project 909.
Much like 303 the emphasis is on established artists who have a part to play in all three eras
of dance music, the past, present and future. They’ll be taking over revered Mancunian dance Mecca Hidden for their first instalment, enlisting the talents of mercurial techno stalwarts Pig & Dan for the headline role.
