INFORMATION:
--------------------
A new season, a new team, a new Product. Expect to experience a new and improved Product this season; new interactive visuals and fantastic new decor, new staff and of course the very best forward thinking underground house music available anywhere.

Will Saul hardly seems old enough but comes to Prouct and celebrate 5 years of his highly sucessful Simple Records label. Will has been producing a huge range of quality music for years, from breaks to techno and everything in between. Expect a tight, melodic and funky minimal workout with a spattering of breakbeat. We're also excited to welcome the debut of Deadset; known to you and I as Cass and Tom Mangan. Their amazing full live show is the real deal, no point-and-click here. You'll see a lot of smiles, plenty of hardware and two of the best producers to emerge in the last decade. They've both got previous indivdually and under their Cass+Mangan alias with many top labels, producing and remixing for the likes of Tiefschwarz, Muse, Royksopp, Miss Kittin, Timberlake and even The Scissor Sisters. Their new groundbreaking album, coming soon on Jesse Rose's Front Room imprint, is a thoughtful, fun and unique take on house and electro that is not to be missed. Product brings a rare chance to hear and see it made right before your very eyes. Good stuff!

Downstairs old friends Tony Thomas and, Stealth regular and Carl Cox labelmate, DJ Hal get together for a rare performance. Expect a sexy dirty house music journey including plenty of the duo's own material in a tranformed second room with stunning new decor. Support as always comes from Engine Records head honcho Rez, and iDJ favourite Makai: To finish things off VJ Me, and leading design house ReRoute, will be providing all new cutting edge visuals across more than 9 displays throughout the venue.

Limited tickets only £6 available from official pre-bars, the usual outlets and online at www.viewtickets.co.uk and www.alt-tickets.co.uk. Only £7 before midnight and NUS card holders all night. More on the door. 22:00 - 06:00.

BIOGRAPHIES:
--------------------
WILL SAUL
Will was born in Taunton, Somerset in 1978 and ages only 18 won Muzik’s mix tape talent contest Bedroom Bedlam, having progressed his sound from lush, jazzy grooves and leftfield oddities to include deep, dubby breaks and broken-beats.

After two years working in Sony International’s A&R department he left to set up a label with friends. They called it Simple, to reflect their open-minded intention to release good music, of whatever genre. It was while working at the legendary Koobla records, and then the fantastic Phonica, that he had his eyes fully opened to the wonderful world of house and techno. At the time the scene was being re-invigorated by producers such as Mathew Jonson, who Will quickly employed for his first remix.

Simple Records musical focus is deep, futuristic house, techno and disco with flashes of soul and irresistible melodies that hark back to the early days of Detroit. Since the labels conception Will has commissioned remixes from Phonique, DJ T, Swayzak, Mathew Jonson, Jeff Samuel, Argy, Spirit Catcher and Sebo K to name a few. Look out for Will's new project Aus Music, which will explore the more organic side of house, techno, electro and down-tempo.


DEADSET
Introducing Deadset: an act that crafts house music in some of its many disguises. The two man team used to do a lot of that, and a little bit of this. Before Deadset1 and Deadset2 came into being, they played in the sandpit with the likes of Muse, Miss Kittin, Royksopp, Tiefschwarz, Justin Timberlake, and Scissor Sisters and with labels such as Fine, Blue Fin, Souvenir, Made To Play, Wall Of Sound and Tsuba.

They were also allowed to play around at Weekend (Berlin), Watergate (Berlin), Panorama Bar (Berlin), Herbal, The Key, The Egg, The End and Fabric. Now they do a lot of this and the only a little bit of that. Disregarding this, that and the other, their tipping point has arrived...

Lovingly nurtured, their forthcoming album, Keys Open Doors is about to be released into the wild from the arms of Jesse Rose and his awesome Front Room label. Music for now, with an eye on tomorrow, made with the sounds of then.
