Miguel Campbell, Josh T, The Pushamann & Sam Russo... Find out more!!

So, with just under 3 weeks to go till the first East Project of 2012, we thought it best to check out what all the fuss is about... Advanced tickets have all sold out and is it any surprise, when looking at the line-up???

Previously, the EP boys have only ever felt the need to use one big headliner and the rest, up and coming local talent for events that only ever featured 1 room of music. This time however, the crowd will be treated to 2 rooms and 4 headliners!! And with early bird tickets that cost as little as £5, what more could you really ask for??

Topping the bill on Friday 10th Feb will be the one and only Miguel Campbell from Hot Creations fame. If you have not heard of this guy, then you clearly haven't been following the house scene over the past couple of years! Hailing from the northern city of Leeds and after setting up and releasing on his own Outcross Records as MAM, HCB and under his own name, in 2010 he signed up to Hot Creations and that is when things were about to go stellar.



With an ever growing gig diary, that includes trips to Warung Beach Club in Brazil, Sankeys in Manchester, Creche in London and Watergate in Berlin over the next few months alone, it was with great joy that promoter and resident Gilly managed to secure the services of this excellent DJ/Producer.

For those of you that missed it last year, Miguel's Ibiza Voice Podcast is definitely worth your attention:

Second up on the list of headliners, we have the superb Josh T... Again, hailing from Leeds, this guy really made a mark last year with his release, Green Surprises on Hot Waves (the digital only output for Jamie Jones and Lee Foss' Hot Creations/Hot Natured empire). Co-founder of the Louche events that have been ripping Leeds apart with an ever impressive and growing list of parties, Josh has been plying his trade alongside some of the industry's greats.

To get an idea of what you could be faced with, check out his excellent Hush House Podcast! Proving this guys is just as comfortable playing an early smooth set that builds an atmosphere, to finishing a night off with a selection of classic and upfront house nuggets... All can be found on this mix:

Next up for your musical pleasure we have The Pushamann! Playing along side some of the best talent in the game, The Pushamann has proved his metal with numerous gigs at Fabric throughout 2008/09, priding himself on warm up sets with deep trippy house and nu disco fused together seamlessly.

Having run his own successful London club night for just over two years and the recent launch of his NoN Music label, The Pushamann has come a long way from messing around on the decks in Kingston.

His Nature or Nurture night, which he runs with Terry Francis, is all about spreading this deep, infectious sound. Recently celebrating the 2nd birthday at Fabric back in February, Nature or Nurture has already enjoyed appearances from some truly unique underground DJs such as Nathan Coles, Tim Sheridan, Hector, Kenny Hawkes and Moodymanc.

Last but by no means least, we have one Mr Sam Russo! Having first come across him back in 2008 playing a warm-up set at Gilly and Disko Trooper's old Maisonica party in London, Sam has really taken his DJing and producing to the next level.

Splitting his time between London and the south coast, where he holds a residency at the ever popular Junk Club in Southampton, Sam is now rubbing shoulders with the cream of the crop! Working closely with Matt Tolfrey and his Leftroom Record label, he has also formed close working relationship with the excellent Huxley from Cecille and Tsuba Records. With gigs all over the UK and now across Europe, it surely wont be long till this guy's name will be on everyone's lips!

Look no further than this mix from his soundcloud page to wet your appetite for more:
