To celebrate our massive rave-up with GetDarker we’ve got a very special Positive Vibes session with German tech-maestro Phace. Often spotted alongside fellow bass freak Misanthrop, the German tech-monster has gone solo for a spell and he’s performing with us THIS FRIDAY!
Yup, it’s another shout out for our insane Christmas warehouse party with GetDarker. It’s taking place on December 7 at a secret location, London and, just in case you’ve not seen it, the line-up is SICK!
On the D&B tip we have (deep breath)… Roni Size, Calibre, dBridge, Artificial Intelligence, Phace, Randall. Meanwhile in GetDarker’s arena we’re playing host to Loefah, Oneman, Artwork, Todd Edwards, DJ EZ, Youngsta, Darkside and Tunnidge.
Wicked, right? Don’t miss out and bag your ticket now!
Back to blog-wise business, we sent Phace a few warehousey questions to put us in the mood. We also asked him for a selection of tunes that instantly put him in a happy place. Tradition dictates three positive vibes tunes but not when Phace is in town. Oh no, he’s given us six. And they’re really not what you’d expect from him at all! Amazing stuff. Enjoy…
If I say warehouse rave, what instantly springs to mind?
“Long nights, short sleep!”
Please tell me your first warehouse party experience?
“Meditation“ in Mannheim Germany in 1994”
What are the key ingredients to a killer warehouse party?
“A great sound system, lots of stamina and a few good drinks!”
Do you pack a different tune selection when you’re playing at party of this proportions?
“I wouldn’t say different, but I try to make sure to keep the crowd going rather than taking them on a deeper journey.”
Have you got any cheeky new upfront material to showcase at our Xmas warehouse rave?
“Yes I do!”
Now some positive vibes related questions… We’re talking tunes that instantly put you in an amazing mood, no matter what crap you have to deal with that day. What makes a positive vibe for you?
“Positive vibes can come through many things, for me it is usually a sum out of the following factors: Being healthy, having the right people around you and in general being happy with what you do.”
David Bowie & Mick Jagger – Dancing In The Street

Led Zeppelin – Whole Lotta Love

“I wish I could have seen them live, such a great band that have a big influence on my musical taste. When I hear this song I forget everything around me and feel like getting part of a hysteric party crowd to lose it and to jump off the stage. Good times!”
Paul Simon – You Can Call Me Al
