London, get ready! Deep Into Soul return from their roof raising 5th Anniversary event to host a Baltimore house music special featuring Jasper Street Company Live and the Basement Boys DJ Spen & Teddy Douglas, flanked by the DiS residents Rhemi Music Neil Pierce & Ziggy Funk. Get ready to dance until dawn, singing along to some the finest house music in the capital has to offer alongside an insanely friendly young dance crowd.
As the beat of house music blossomed below the mainstream’s radar in warehouses and clubs in Chicago, New York and London in the ’80s, Basement Boys were defining their own indelible sound in Baltimore. They presented their soulful ethos on groundbreaking albums in the early ’90s for Ultra Naté and Crystal Waters as well as remixes galore.
Thirty years on Basement Boys have stood their musical ground, and they’ve clung to their positive, uplifting sound, never wavering in the face of fleeting fads and fashion
Baltimore’s finest and International House headliner, DJ Spen joins forces with his mentor and Basement Boys founder, Teddy Douglas, to set Deep Into Soul alight with their keyboard-charged flying vocal house anthems and bumping underground beats. DJ Spen’s recent releases include ‘Can’t Give You Up’ featuring Michael Robinson and the off-kilter mix on Todd Terry’s ‘Stranger’ on his respected Quantize Records, and sure to be airing his latest Exclusives on the night. From producing Ultra Nate’s breakthrough song, “It’s Over Now’ to Crystal Waters classic chart smash ‘Gypsy Woman (La Dee Dee, La Dee Di)’ to creating ‘Praisin Your Name’ for Anne Nesby, Teddy Douglas continues to wow house music lovers around the world, as well as hosting his legendary Salvation party at the Paradox club in Baltimore, now 14 years strong.
After their stellar Southport Weekender 50th appearance, the legendary gospel-orientated house music group, Jasper Street Company make a rare Live appearance in London. With classics such as “A Feeling’, ‘Solid Ground’ and their recent and first track in 10 years, ‘Reach’, tonight promises an incredibly special show full of classic church organ and rhythm guitar riffs creating that ole’ foot stompin’, good time in the basement feel.

Room 2 heads into a deeper afro house sound with the much loved party residents Shaun Ashby and Deejay Fiddla joined by Pablo Martinez keeping the dancefloor moving with a smorgasbord of house sounds until the sun rises.
