King Unique at Amazonia!
by Mauro Calleja
Monday, 10 April, 2006
Back in Malta this Saturday Easter eve at Amazonia, the guys who rocked Gianpula before Sasha last year return as highlights of the night, courtesy of Sublime! Well they deserve it and well, we deserve also a marvelous set like they do! As they say all you gotta know is King Unique = Dirty House. That doesn't explain a lot for me but we must hear them live and see...
King Unique are two guys called Matt who make rough-edged dirty house music, Matthew Roberts and Matt "Watkins" Thomas, a pair of studio junkies with a taste for bulldozer beats and sick synthesizers.
Over the last five years their records, remixes and re-edits have hit home with house-heads, nu-ravers and electro-rockers alike, being championed by everyone from Sasha to Soulwax, Danny Howells to Tiesto, and Pete Tong to Zane Lowe. Their music has turned up everywhere from Hollywood soundtracks to mobile ring tones, not to mention countless compilations and mix albums.
Their decks'n'fx DJ sets have made them regulars in some of the world's most respected clubs and biggest festivals, while the "King Unique Broadcast" radio mix series regularly airs to countries across the globe. 2006 has seen them starting their own residency, "Curfew Time" at London's Turnmills, bringing Loud Electronic Dirt to the capital.
The King Unique sound has been in constant demand since, appearing on dozens of remixes including King Dong sized floor-fillers such as Underworld's "Two Months Off", Las Vegas rockers The Killers' "Somebody Told Me", Planet Funk's "The Switch", Mutiny's "The Virus", Jamiroquai's "You Give Me Something", The Freemasons' "Love On My Mind", Luke Slater's "Nothing At All", and Chable and Bonicci's "Ride". Most recently King Unique have reworked Teamsters "Feels Like Love", Mish Mash's "Speechless", and Suicide Sports Club's "I Don't Know".
