Saved at Ministry of Sound

---

Ministry take-over…

As their final label outing on home soil before heading off to Miami 2012, Saved Records will be taking over Ministry of Sound on 10 March. The south-east London club where label boss Nic Fanciulli first encountered the capital’s addictive house scene back in the 90s, will welcome an array of Saved artists that ensured the best year yet for the imprint in 2011.

Coyu’s Ibiza Global Radio Set

Coyu’s set is a real blend of deep tech with subtle shades of funkiness and ambience thrown into the mix.
He starts off with a slightly laid back approach which seems to linger just enough from the edge for you to feel the presence of something to come but whilst still absorbing the up-beat skip as he slowly works you closer. He almost teases you with some true house flavours by building things a little and then bringing them back to a steady medium again, to only tease you yet again with a subtle build.

About 14 minutes of this behaviour and he’s switched things onto a different path with a monotonous low drive dub-tech route with atmospherical touches which mildly brighten and set a real mood in the air. It almost makes you want to voluntarily stand on the edge and just feel that wind blowing under your arms when very swiftly enters a distinctive electro arpeggio bass which gently pulls you away leaving your body swinging in no-man’s land.
At which point Coyu plays on the ambience of the mood and gently touches to a Sasha style aura allowing the mix to then just flow into a natural drift. He lightens the mood with a real uplifting track towards the end, which then switches to a real soulful deep dub piece before ending things on a quirky broken beat finale. The ending is maybe a little off-key with the last two tracks but apart from the last 6 minutes this mix is a great piece of work which will send you on a bit of a trip.
