All Hail Sinden!

Sinden is a unique producer/DJ who has revitalised the club scene with his own brand of forward thinking remixes and productions, clever mash ups and genre-melting DJ sets.

Since Spring 2005, Sinden has remixed artists including Lady Sovereign, Lethal Bizzle, Plan B, Basement Jaxx, Mary J Blige, Bugz In The Attic, Switch, Bonde Do Role, Mr Hudson & The Library, Armand van Helden, Mark Ronson and collaborated on original material with Solid Groove, Jesse Rose, Herve & Trevor Loveys.

As of September 2006, Sinden landed himself a spot on the groundbreaking radio station Kiss, in the UK. The show runs from Wednesday night / Thursday morning from 1-2 and is the first of its kind in the UK to host an eclectic selection of music that includes Funk Carioca, Baltimore Club, Kuduru, Juke House, Southern Hip Hop, Dancehall, House/Electro and much more.

Sinden is also a resident DJ at London's finest club, Fabric. From January 2007, Sinden alongside Switch program and DJ in the clubs main room under the banner of ‘Get Familiar’, on a bi-monthly basis. Sinden prides himself on being a versatile DJ capable of rocking any party, bringing his varied music tastes to the club and spinning the latest in House and Electro, Baltimore Club, Baile Funk, Hip Hop, R n B/Soul, Dancehall, House/Electro, Mash Ups, Global Rhythms, Miami Bass, Grime etc.

Fabric aside, Sinden’s other DJ highlights include spinning at Basement Jaxx’s club night called Inside Out in Brixton, London. Sinden was the only resident alongside Jaxx’s Felix and Simon. It ran for 1 and half years. He's also taken his sound all over the world playing to audiences in Australia, Canada, United States, Israel and all over Europe. Sinden was recruited as M.I.A.'s tour DJ for 2007 and has been playing shows with her in support of her sophomore album Kala.

Production wise, it started when he forged a good friendship and musical understanding with Dave “Switch” Taylor and was taken under his wing to learn the production game. They created a production team called A.Brucker & Sinden and began to create progressive hip-hop, dancehall beats and other unclassifiable riddims.

Dave Taylor & Sinden’s own label, Counterfeet launched in March 2006, its ethos: to have an open mind towards club music releasing records that they believed in. The debut release featured collaborations with A.Brucker & Solid Groove. The second release featured an EP by Radioclit called Mature Macho Machine.

He has an album coming out as Young Lovers along with Herve and Kid Sister. His track "Beeper" reached number 1 on the dance chart in April 2008.(courtesy of Windish and Wikipedia)


Here are a couple of mixes:
The 1st mix is a mix I did of a few of my favorite Sinden productions/co-productions:

A Few of My LA Favorite Things

I have compiled  a list and some links to my favorite spots when you are in LA. Check them out and let me know what ya think.

Favorite Record Store                                                            

Amoeba Records

I know most of you have been here, but grab all your old cds you dont listen to anymore, trade them in, and grab some things that you havent heard or seen, or get one of the thousands of posters they have. And to get the real experience, catch one of the many free shows they have. Not all music has to be downloaded!

Favorite Foods

Teres Mexican Food 

Little place on Melrose has amazing green enchiladas, with home made tortillas that are to die for. I eat here at least once a week. Everything Ive had there has been amazing.

Pampas Grill at Farmers Market

Its a brazillian buffet in the perfect outdoor setting at the Farmers Market. They charge by the weight of the plate. Fresh salads and meats, its goood.

Late Night Dining at Fred 62

After a night of dancing, this is my favorite spot with a huge menu. Whatever you get, make sure you top off the night with the BossaNove waffle sundae. Its to die for.

Favorite Happy Hour!

Cha Cha Lounge in Silverlake

For you over 21ers, From 5-9 PM everyday, cocktails are only 2.50. Plus it has the best music, the best interior, and best setting for any bar around. Go there on your 21st birthday and take a pic in the photobooth while downing 2 dollar PBRs and snacking on authentic mexican snacks from the vending machine.

Favorite Clothing Deals

American Apparel Factory Store

This is a must for you bargain shoppers and AA whores. Eveything in the store is discounted up to 75 percent. There are items that never even hit the stores. 

JetRag on La Brea

The ultimate selection for vintage clothes, designer threads for less, boots, vests, dresses, and accessories. They also have a Sunday dollar sale, but get there early and get ready to DIG through piles and piles of clothes, its really fun!

The Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market

Every second Sunday of the month, the Rose Bowl parking lot transforms into a hipsters dream world as acres and acres of every type of clothing you desire is sold. Cute people all around and good deals.

Favorite LA Clothing Designer

Brian Lichtenberg

Designs are unique, comfortable, and cutting edge.  If you dont see anything on the online store, check out the many stores in LA that carry his clothes. And any BL item can be perfectly matched with a necklace from Alex and Chloe
