ALAN DIXON
You know you’re doing something very, very right when you get regular Radio 1 airplay and you’re signed to Running Back, Permanent Vacation and Correspondant. Then again, Alan Dixon has long been a name on the edge of big–time success, marked out as one to watch by industry taste-makers including Mixmag, Defected and Traxsource.

A rock kid until he stepped into a club at 16 and thought ‘this is it,’ Alan initially made a name for himself in his native North East of England before becoming one of the Ministry of Sound resident DJs in Singapore for several years.

Once back in the UK, and armed with insider knowledge from working at Strut Records in London, Alan quickly became a go-to name on the disco circuit with gigs for Horse Meat Disco, Elrow, Glastonbury and a residency at Savage Disco. Word quickly spread and those shows evol ved into international sets including gigs at Pikes Ibiza, Black Flamingo NYC, Madrid and a headline return to Singapore.

Already well-known for his disco edits, Alan made the move into original productions in 2014, inspired by names like Todd Terje, Prins Thomas and Gerd Janson. And in a neat twist of fate, Prins Thomas turned in a remix of Alan’s ‘Edge of Forever’ for Correspondant while Alan was then signed to Gerd Janson’s Running Back Records.

While his early releases included gospel-tinged soulful house and cosmic disco, he’s evolved his sound in recent years to create pulsing big-room Italo anthems that are equal part s disco strut and peak-time breakdowns. Like many in the industry, he used 2020 to his advantage. He launched his own label, Love Attack, including a killer EP from Man Power, and also confirmed remixes for Salsoul, Unidisc, MeMeMe and more.

With an established new peak-time synth sound championed by Danny Howard and Annie Mac, and Pete Tong naming Alan’s ‘Edge Of Forever’ release as his Essential New Tune, Alan is finally breaking through and getting noticed by all the right people.

  • Sivanesh

    It’s hard to pin Sivanesh’s style down. Crafting and developing his own brand of sultry off-kilter house and groovy heads-down techno through his long-standing residency at CÉ LA VI Singapore, his sound goes above and beyond current genres and trends. At its 5th year now, the residency sees him taking charge of the world-renowned main room, playing extended DJ-sets every Sunday night. Apart from this residency, Sivanesh is a regular fixture at some of the region’s most respected venues, with regular dates at The Headquarters and Kilo Lounge in Singapore. Co-founder of Sivilian Affairs and music director for Potato Head and Kilo in Singapore, Sivanesh also holds a monthly residency on AAJA Radio in London every third Monday of the month. Sivanesh’s sound goes beyond current trends in genres. Held together by equal amounts of rhythm & groove, his diverse playlists have led him to play alongside cult favourites such as Chaos In The CBD (In Dust We Trust), d’Julz (Bass Culture), Gerd Janson (Running Back), John Talabot (Hivern Discs), Kornél Kovács (Studio Barnhus), Okain (Talman Records), and Rampa (Keinemusik). Regional attention started after a well-received opening set at Cercle’s debut Asia show in 2019 with The Martinez Brothers. Since then, he has gone on to play at festivals and dance institutions across the region such as Airhouse (South Korea), Iron Fairies (Kuala Lumpur), Potato Head (Bali), Savage (Hanoi), Villa Project (Saigon), and Weekend Voyage (Phu Quoc). Powered by the belief that Asia is the place to be right now for dance music, Sivanesh co-founded the bookings and events agency Sivilian Affairs, which emphasises local and regional talents. In line with his goals of strengthening the Asian dance scene and building a healthy ecosystem through Sivilian Affairs, recent bookings for their parties include Baldo (Subwax) from Barcelona, Dr Yez (Tantra) from Bali, Jesse You (Walls & Pals) from Seoul, Jonnyvicious (Shagrilla) from Kuala Lumpur, Manikk (Savage) from Hanoi, Roshan (SaturdaySelects) from Kuala Lumpur, and Dexter Colt, Leland, Mako, Ramesh K, and The Weatherman from Singapore. Citing seminal American house music duo Mood II Swing as an early musical influence, Sivanesh's diverse playlists are held together by equal amounts of groove and soul. His roots will always be house, but being open-minded and anchored in the belief that only quality matters and genres do not, he is always aware of what the room he is playing for needs. That may be his best trait. It is this versatility that enables him to share the stage with some of the finest selectors in the world, such as Chloe (Bpitch), Chaos In The CBD (In Dust We Trust), d’Julz (Bass Culture), Jasper James (Optimo Trax), Rampa (Keinemusik), and more, in the last few months. More recently, he was selected by Cercle to warm up for their debut Asia show with The Martinez Brothers in November 2019, and then ended the year with a well-received DJ set at the Rainforest Pavilion at the Wonderfruit festival in Thailand. He might surprise you with a track from an unexpected corner, but that's exactly what he intends to do.
