Moulin Groove lands at the H&H this evening for a night of Deep Tech, House & Disco with Aaron Snapes.

A product of London, in his early years, Aaron Snapesbrowsed the club scene sampling from a variety of genres. In search of the right groove, he bounced from Old School Hip-Hop, to Drum & Bass, to Garage, until one night, feeling clarity; he experienced a resonance with House music. Through the years, nurturing this interest became a passion for Snapes and he soon found himself at the helm of his own productions, creatively painting a musical canvas while developing his loosely defined Tech House sound.

Since releasing his debut EP in 2012 on Perfect Driver, Snapes hasn’t looked back. He has since garnered support from top taste-making artists such as Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Gorgon City and Todd Edwards. Snapes’s music has been featured on some of the most influential radio shows around the world, including BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix and BBC 1Xtra. Check out his latest mix below;

Hailing from the town of Gao in north-eastern Mali, they came together in Bamako naming themselves in celebration of their displaced Songhoy people and culture. Their break came in September 2013 when French music manager Marc-Antoine Moreau was in the city to scout for musical talent on behalf of Africa Express and subsequently the band were invited to record a song with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs – the track, Soubour, ended up as a stand-out track on the Africa Express album, Maison des Jeunes.

We’re delighted to announce that This Is Tmrw bring Canadian 4 piece Ought to the Hare & Hounds this September.

Ought have been living and playing together since 2011  developing an earnest and exuberant post-punk sound, dextrous and exacting while bursting with propulsive and fluid energy, as indebted to Cap’n Jazz as to Talking Heads. Vocalist Tim Darcy (formerly Beeler) shifts adeptly from a stately, composed oratory to a ragged and impassioned yelp, whip-smart and self-assured but never pompous or alienating. Check out the video for their single ‘New Calm, PT.2’ below;
