Young Discollector & Raw Queen share the same passion for high quality and obscure records.

Having both a strong interest in Modern Soul, Gospel and Jazz, they started collecting records almost a decade ago. Even though they do not listen to the exact same records, they are nontheless very complementary, which creates a unique blend of music throughout their sets. They grew up in the same environment, they went to the same college, lived in the same neighborhood, but only got to know each other through record collecting. That’s when they discovered that they had a lot in common.

Young Discollector also founded a record label called Providenciales Records, reissuing Soul / Funk records but soon also unreleased music. Raw Queen has also a music collective named « Discotomie », touring with friends and playing records.

This is a perfect chance to catch the pair in action behind the Kings Cross controls.

As singer/songwriter, and sole constant member Jon steered The Beloved
from Peel Session quartet in 1985, to Blissed Out duo by 1988, to the
global omnipresence of Sweet Harmony in 1993, to a state of near-hibernation
post 1996.

He occasionally resurfaces as a “feat” or collaborator and in the current decade
has worked with artists as diverse as Westbam and Robbie Williams.

As a DJ he had a parallel career between 1993-2006, enjoying residencies at Ministry
Of Sound, and then Fabric as well as traversing the UK and Europe for regular guest slots.

He occasionally plays out in clubs, in a loosely-defined Balearic style.
(“Balearic is a state of mind, not a genre”)

In Spiritland mode his selection widens and draws from everywhere.
Songs known to everyone, songs that deserve to be.
Music to sooth, music to groove.

Get ready for a very rare appearance from two house music legends at in the intimate surrounds of Spiritland Royal Festival Hall.

Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon, are indisputable architects of the French Touch - the emotive house music conjured from looped samples with an inimitable Gallic flare that emerged from Paris in the mid 90s. Both had pivotal, separate collaborations with Bangalter - Falcon with Bangalter as Together (“Together,” 2000 & “So Much Love To Give,” 2002), Braxe with Bangalter as Stardust (“Music Sounds Better With You,” 1998).

This year they presented their first ever collaboration as Braxe & Falcon in the form of the Step By Step EP, released on Smugglers Way - a sublime distillation of their shared musical essence and a compelling expansion only conceivable for them at this point in time.

They join us at the end of an extensive world tour for their one and only London show at Spiritland Royal Festival Hall. Support comes from our friend, DJ and producer Aroop Roy. A recent B2B session with Mr Scruff led him to say "Aroop Roy is a ridiculously skilled selector. It was a privilege and pleasure to play with him.”

Tickets priced at just £10 for this special night of house music magic.
