There’s another essential night of house planned on Thursday 14th as Dance.Here.Now welcomes Honey Dijon, Tedd Patterson and Quentin Harris. Tedd, our Vibal resident, is widely regarded as a DJ’s DJ with admirers as varied as Tom Stephan, Frankie Knuckles and Larry Tee. “Back in the day Tedd showed us all how to play a bit of everything and make it work together in one night, just as Larry Levan used to play ALL dance music, not just the deep soulful stuff,” says Tee, the electroclash mastermind. “It’s his embrace of mixing electronic elements into the deep-house sound that has really made him a true innovator.” Similarly Quentin Harris has never been a follower: “I love experimenting with music and I’ll try anything to see if it works,” says the producer from Detroit who’s widely recognized as one of the leaders in the field of deep-house. It’s even been said that his work re-vitalized what had become a saturated and tired genre. To keep the testosterone levels in check, the boys are joined in the DJ box by Honey Dijon, the New York-based, Chicago-bred house DJ unofficially crowned Derrick Carter’s favorite DJ.
