New dance night Endless Race, wanting to get things started on the right foot, are extremely proud to bring the one and only Bill Brewster to the Star and Shadow on Saturday February 19th.
Co-writer of the acclaimed Last Night A DJ Saved My Life, co-founder of the essential DJhistory.com website and responsible for the legendary Low Life parties that have now been running an incredible 15 years, Bill Brewster is something of an ...encyclopaedia of dance music and hugely respected worldwide as a DJ. Far from being a jack of all trades and master of none, a broad appreciation for dance and electronic music inform an eclectic and genre blending approach more than the sum of its parts. A sensitivity and sense of occasion that few DJs possess, Bill Brewster know how to work a crowd in the best possible sense.
He began DJing in the 1980s, but came into his own in the early 1990s, particularly during a two-year stint in New York running DMC’s office, where nights at the Sound Factory and hanging out with Danny Tenaglia gave him the musical grounding you can still hear in his music today.
Anyone hearing Bill today can hear the influence of years spent cutting his teeth as a DJ in New York. There are few still playing regularly today that have his dedication, eclecticism and far reaching knowledge of music that will be on display on February 19th.
He has been working in the industry’s fringes for almost 30 years including the running of various labels from Twisted UK and Forensic in the ’90s to Disco Sucks and, lately, Anorak. Miss this rare opportunity to see him in the North East at your own peril.
