(2008.03.23) PETE TONG & ROGER SANCHEZ @ Fabric
The team at Cargo is proud to present a very special weekend…
The Gastown Easter Weekend Heineken Music Experience with PETE TONG & ROGER SANCHEZ WHEN – EASTER WEEKEND: - Roger Sanchez = Saturday, March 22nd, 2008 – 10PM till 3AM - Pete Tong = Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 – 10PM till 3AM WHERE: Fabric Night Club (formerly Sonar) in Gastown - 66 Water Street - 2 pieces of ID required for entry ON SATURDAY, MARCH 22ND… GRAMMY AWARD WINNING  ROGER SANCHEZ - www.releaseyourself.com / Stealth Records / RogerSanchez.com - The Official Roger Sanchez Website / MySpace.com - Roger Sanchez - New York - House - www.myspace.com/rogersanchez  Release Yourself is a concept born many moons ago in the mind of the Grammy award winning artist Roger Sanchez. A seminal single (Release Yo Self) under Roger’s Transatlantic Soul production moniker back in 1996, a fully immersive party experience from 2001, a world-shaking radio show and CD compilation series since 2002, and a prolific podcast from 2006 – Release Yourself, like evolution itself, tells us that only the strong survive. So move your ass, stomp your feet, and set your mind free, because the very latest trip in this time-honored compilation series is here. Blending deep house, Latin, tribal and electro-tech sounds, explosive programming with sparks of S-Man magic, the relentless groove of Release Yourself 6 is sure to set speakers ablaze as it’s unleashed on 4th June via Roger’s own Stealth Records label! The genesis of Release Yourself was certainly shaped by Roger’s life as a native New Yorker. A former student of architecture and a disciple of the legendary Paradise Garage, there came a time, in the late 80s, when he had to choose between a prestigious education at the Pratt Institute and his burgeoning love of house music and club culture. That Roger went on to cement his stellar reputation as a DJ and producer around the world is a testament to his robust belief in the power of music to liberate people, physically and mentally. The first Release Yourself event took place in June 2001 at El Divino on the clubbers’ paradise island of Ibiza. “I named it after my track Release Yo Self by Transatlantic Soul to symbolise what I wanted people to do at my parties,” explains Roger. And, of course, it went down a storm! A year later Release Yourself moved to Pacha, where Roger has been revered as a resident ever since, developing an intimate relationship with the clubbing mecca and its cosmopolitan crowds. Now, in 2007, following an illuminating start to the Release Yourself season at Miami WMC, the party returns to Pacha Ibiza from Monday 18th June, with sunset pre-parties taking place once again at Cafe Mambo. The Release Yourself theme for this year is signs of the zodiac and we can definitely predict that there will be some astronomical parties up ahead, in Ibiza and beyond. You will, for example, be able to enjoy Release Yourself marathons at several festivals this summer, including Mystery Land in the Netherlands and Global Gathering in the UK, so stay tuned. Meanwhile serving millions of listeners who love to stay tuned is Roger's hugely popular Release Yourself radio show. It smashed onto the scene in 2002 and is now syndicated weekly to 27 stations internationally. With an emphasis on the unique and the upfront, Release Yourself was one of the first dance shows to evolve into a podcast. Indeed, from pimpin’ his mix tapes on Broadway in the 80s to spinning digital video discs as he fronts his all-action live S-Men band in the 00s, Roger has always utilised the technology of his time to connect more deeply with clubbers. Launched in March 2006, the Release Yourself Podcast now has 60,000+ bi-weekly subscribers and even won the Best Podcast category in the 22nd International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs) during WMC 2007. So, finally, let’s return full circle to Release Yourself Volume 6. As a 100 percent pure Release Yourself encounter, its sounds flow seamlessly over two CDs, with a sexy, soul drenched pre-party selection chased up by pounding peak time party programming. And since the Basement Jaxx remixed Release Yo Self (‘back in the day’), it is fitting that their hot new track Cool It kickstarts 2007’s party CD in a big way. This mix houses an array of upfront tracks, including Agent Greg Vs. Audiopunch’s soaring Symphony of Love, The Nightcrawlers’ Push the Feeling On (Belocca's Cheeky Bootleg Mix), and Nick Terranova & Austin Leeds’ Dirty Sound ?(Miami Dirt Mix) – all of which will be forthcoming on Stealth. Says Roger: “The Release Yourself mixes remain a true reflection of what is going on on my dancefloors. The party mix has taken on more modern electronic elements, as have my sets, while the pre party side now incorporates even more variety within its deeper sounds.” Let’s welcome Cargo’s resident Roger Sanchez back to Vancouver during this special Easter Weekend music experience. ON SUNDAY, MARCH 23RD… ELECTRONIC MUSIC ICON  PETE TONG, UK - .: Pete Tong :. / MySpace.com - Pete Tong - London, UK - Electro / House - www.myspace.com/petetong / www.essentialselection.com - Download the PETE TONG TONGCAST from ITunes Music Store/ Podcasts  I count myself very lucky to be there with millions of people every Friday as all we start the weekend together with my Radio 1 show. According those clever numbers people Essential Selection is one of the most listened to shows at Radio 1, both live and on-line with millions of listeners weekly around the globe. It is also syndicated in over 25 countries worldwide including Italy, Dubai, Canada, and the USA. In terms of DJing I play clubs and festivals worldwide, gigs I hold dear to my heart included Pacha-Ibiza, Tennax-Florence and Space-Miami. As a producer I have assembled the music for movie soundtracks such as The Beach, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People and produced my own material under various guises. I am also the name sake to the film Its All Gone Pete Tong which was released last year. Stepping into the present I have entered the world of Podcasts and Im loving it! My Tongcasts have held the number 1 spot and are downloaded by thousands of people. I also present Fast Trax - a weekly show for mobile network 3G. I teamed up with Universal Records last year to launch a new Essential Selection Album series. I felt the time was right to return to the world of compilations as dance music and the clubbing scene has been revitalized in the last few years. I truly believe from what Im hearing and seeing that we are in a very exciting and creative period. So far The Essential Selection and Essential Classics albums have been released, with an Essential Mix CD to follow. I will undertake my fourth season of Pure Pacha, Friday nights @ Pacha Ibiza this summer starting on the 9th of June. Pure Pacha combines musical quality and glamour, with aspiration and escapism. Its a wonderland for grown ups who don’t want to grow up just yet.....! I also bring the Pure brand to bi-monthly parties at Ministry of Sound in London. In 2005 I finally got some good studio time and collaborated with Chris Cox, James Talk, Paul Harris & Jay P. One of my ambitions is to produce an artist and compose a film score in the future. It hasn’t always been like this for me, I started out as a mobile DJ in Kent during my teens. When I was at school, hard rock ruled the roost, and I even tried playing in bands, but after seeing a DJ playing actual records at a school disco I decided that looked like much more fun! One of my first jobs was to DJ at a club in Baker Street called [Family] Function and simultaneously book bands for a weekend alternative night: the first group I hired was the then-unknown Culture Club. Around the same time I also landed a day job at Blues & Soul magazine, I became features editor and began making appearances on the pirates and BBC's Radio London. At this time dance was still considered a fringe genre and I soon found myself presenting a dance music segment on Radio 1s Peter Powell show. But I noticed that daytime DJs had no control over the music they played, so I launched a soul show on Kent's newly-launched Invicta station. By now I had left my position at Blues & Soul and replaced it with an A&R position at London Records, a job I loved and held in one manner or another for almost 20 years. I was now in the thick of it all and was hired by Capital Radio to broadcast to the new clubbers, which enabled me to start a label within a label at London. FFRR Records was born in 1988: we hit first with Salt n Pepa's 'Push It' and a whole catalogue of tracks followed. I've been lucky - I grew up at a time when the whole scene exploded, and I worked with a bunch of people who, for a long period of time empowered me to be able to change things. The biggest change came in 1991, when Radio One recognized that it needed to cater for the new, and permanent, youth culture. I was hired to host a brand new Friday evening show, the Essential Selection. It meant broadcasting to the nation and unlike my daytime predecessors, actually choosing the music too. The Essential Selection spun off a show called the Essential Mix, enabling DJs worldwide to showcase their mixing talents on national radio, and together these led to the Essential compilations. After all this time I don’t get complacent though - When you're on the radio for so long your audience stays the same age but you get older. The new people come in and think of you as a radio DJ and not a club DJ. With that in mind, I keep a packed DJ schedule spending time on the road, searching out new music and broadcasting from select cities and events en route. Ultimately People love music whether and how they buy it right now is one thing, but people still want to party and its our job to come up with new parties, new nights, new venues, new themes to keep the scene fresh and exciting. We’re excited to announce Pete’s return to Vancouver in what will be the ultimate Gastown Easter Weekend Party Experience!!! For more info see .: Pete Tong :. TICKETS: -- the 60 x $60 tickets (which gives entry to BOTH shows) are SOLD OUT. -- $35 tickets for Pete Tong and $35 for Roger Sanchez are now available individually at Clubzone.
