MUSIC: déjà vu presents: Route 94 @ Funktion Hull.

  

Déjà vu presents: Route 94.

What better way to celebrate Halloween?

Route 94 has already reached pretty lofty heights in a short space of time as both a producer and a DJ.

His hit single “My Love” catapulted the London-born producer to the pinnacle of the deep-house/dance scene in 2013/14 and still remains a huge hit today.

Not only did this track include none other than a certain Jess Glyne, but it hit the top spot in three different countries; solidifying its brilliance and providing the man behind the music with a world of possibilities.

Despite being a dominant force in the world of house music, the 21-year old originally set out as a dubstep producer under his former alias ‘Dream’.

The former dub producer enjoyed some success whilst in this often dark and mysterious genre, with a handful of his tracks making it on UKF Dubstep, whilst receiving support from the likes of Chase & Status – however it seems his true calling remains in the world of house.

His distinctive style of feel-good tracks and up-beat house/techno vibes make Route 94 a very popular choice on any line up, which is why I believe Funktion is in for a real treat come October 31st.

Route 94’s sets are enough to pack the biggest of dance floors and drive the crowd absolutely nuts with the perfect balance between new, unknown tracks and ultimate crowd-pleasers. 

With an intense progressive style, his simmering build ups allow his melodic approach to send those at the party wild – whilst making just enough room for his bigger tracks, that almost everyone is certain to recognise, to take centre stage.

As usual the Funktion doors will open at 10pm on October 31st.

Ticket price for the event is a mere £12 (obviously 18+) and I expect these will sell pretty quickly given the fact that this guy is so good…

MUSIC: Deja Vu Presents: Darius Syrossian @ Funktion Hull.

Funktion is fast becoming one of Hull’s premier music spots, hosting some of the UK’s biggest DJ’s and music producers.

The likes of Sasha, Cristoph, Patrick Topping and many more have already delivered huge shows to Hull’s ever-hungry music lovers over the last year and the Deja Vu team now have another impressive calendar booked out.

October 3rd sees the turn of none other than Darius Syrossian, another juggernaut of the house music industry coming to Anlaby Road; promising to bring another hard-hitting set to Funktion’s main room.

Syrossian, who has had releases on VIVa MUSiC, Hot Creations and Get Physical, has always implored his ethos of ‘true house music’ (according to his Resident Advisor bio) and this certainly comes through in his productions.

One of his more popular EP’s “Who’s the Douche?” released on Hot Creations is a fusion of house, techno and some garage tints for good measure – thanks to the help of fellow producer and DJ, Hector Couto.

Needless to say Syrossian will bring an extensive amount of records with him to Funktion in less than a month’s time, but just what sound he will bring is anyone’s guess.

Although he does hold a very distinctive funky house style, his sets are brilliantly unpredictable and always include new material mixed with some classics, merging era’s and sounding pretty special.

Of course, Darius has soundcloud and frequently uploads new tracks, mixes and all sorts of material; so if you haven’t already done so, check him out.

If you’d rather watch the man in action then click here to see him live at Lighthouse Festival.

Tickets are £12 at the moment, with doors opening at 10pm and closing at 5am.
