Rejam with Andrew Grant at Basing House | 7th October
Andrew Grant (Circo Loco, DC10), Jack Doyle & NPD (Rejam), Peter Glasspool (Rejam)
Our first two sellout parties have brought together the exact vibe & atmosphere Rejam set out for – A party for real music people, bringing together cutting edge acts with a real community feel shared amongst the dancefloor. Our last adventure together at Public Life was a night of deep grooves and no-nonsense party jams lead by the simply amazing underground house talent Tom Demac.
For our next installment of Rejam mayhem, we’re setting off just a stones throw up the road to a new venue for us… Basing House, the perfect intimate East London space with its devastating Funktion1 sound system and a dedication to underground music has all the right ingredients for our next party.
With that said, it is with enormous pride that we present to you our next headline act…in keeping with Rejam’s cutting edge music policy…a man rarely seen outside of his DC10/Circo Loco home, only surfacing at the world’s coolest parties …ANDREW GRANT
We have been big supporters of him for a long time throughout the 7 years which he has so far been a resident for Circo Loco…but it seems that in true DC10 style this is Andrew’s season to really break through and attain true ‘megastar’ status across the globe, following in the footsteps of countless house/techno legends who have made their name through playing that sacred space on the white island.
His sound is unique…at the same time groovy and dripping in soul…whilst retaining the warm, driving, bass heavy sound which so encapsulates those unrivalled Monday sessions at Ibiza’s most forward thinking and underground club.
We cant wait to see (and hear) what happens when Andrew flies in from Ibiza just a few days after the infamous Circo Loco closing party to play a special 4 hour extended set on the 7th October as DC10 meets REJAM in a a very special place!
Continuing the line up on the night we have support from one of London’s finest talents, Peter Glasspool. Over the last year Pete has become a very good friend to the Rejam family. Having played a number of times on our very own radio show as well as a spectacular crowd pleasing guest appearance at our last party in July, Pete will be on his usual groove building duties.
Completing this perfect merge of globally profiled and homegrown talent is our residents who will be there to showcase the vast array of sounds that the Rejam brand can deliver. Expect nothing but quality upfront electronic music with a groove-laden journey of deep, bass driven house & techno music from this very special Rejam line up.

ANDREW GRANT (DC10/Circo Loco)
—-
Being part of the Circoloco family and resident DJ of DC10 Ibiza for the past 8 years, Andrew Grant has experienced many things. The time spent touring the world’s best clubs and playing alongside the world’s best DJ’s has helped him to gain a reputation for being one of the most solid and consistent performing DJ’s in the world of electronic music.
Hailing from the Washington DC area in USA, Andrew’s DJ history dates back to 1988 when he was spinning hip-hop at house parties and school dances. But, his musical tastes soon turned to electronic after his first trip to NYC’s Twilo in the mid 90’s where shortly after, he found himself playing a broad scale of music. Andrew’s first visit to Europe was in 2000 playing in Dublin on New Years and then in Paris. He stayed in Europe and in 2001, purchased a one-way ticket from Sheffield, England (where he threw parties 10 weeks previous) to Ibiza. He travelled to Ibiza for a deeper look into the scene with a passion to play top venues. Upon being discovered, he was invited to play Thursday morning after-hours at DC10. After just two sets he was invited to play a main 3-5 hour slot on Monday’s after Cirillo, his mentor. So at just 25 years old, Andrew Grant was adopted by DC10, one of the most recognised and well respected parties in the world.
Alongside touring the world with Circoloco and his DC10 Ibiza residency, Andrew has actively pursued his production career since 2001 with releases on labels such as Plastic City, Unfoundsound, Siteholder Records, Isgud Records, Minisketch and future releases forthcoming on Barraca Music with remixes of Ricardo Villalobos and Los Updates in the pipeline. As head of A&R for the Barraca Music record label, Andrew is responsible for all musical output from the label and is a figurehead in the labels current success.

Hypnotic sound scape low end house is what u can expect from Mr Glasspool, taking pride on building a record collection that is as diverse as it is abstract to say the least. Pete’s influences range from a vast array of underground talent that caught his ear early on, filling his youth with dance floor action. Many years spent listening to the likes of Craig Richards and Ricardo Villalobos has helped pete to develop a fine tune that exceeds anybody’s expectations. His ability to create an atmosphere whether it be on early warm up duties or an after-hours shift has caught the eye of many, playing venues such as the legendary Back To Basics in Leeds and a whole host of other respectable clubs, parties and events in and around east London where he currently resides. Production wise, expect deep filled low end driven grooves with plenty of funk, soul and swing. After recently being signed to the fantastic Act Natural house music label and making his debut appearance on our radio show earlier this year, be sure to check out this rising talent as he’s one to watch……….
With a line-up and venue that we are truly proud of, we can’t wait for you all to join us for our next instalment of Rejam raving. Sit down ovations and inflatables are more than welcome!
