VARIOUS (STEVE LAWLER)

'LIGHTS OUT VOL. 2'

GLOBAL UNDERGROUND
2LP/2CD

(OCTOBER 2003)

Steve Lawler returns to Global Underground to deliver the second instalment of his infamous ‘Lights Out’ series.

The King Of Space has plucked some of the gems that have been working the coolest dance floors across the world. Tried and tested each Sunday at Space Steve is continually acquiring more ardent fans seduced by his exuberance, energy, technical brilliance and sparkle that come from his innate love of the music. A clubber at heart Steve is the consummate pro and this CD is a taste of the experience.

In classic Lawler style ‘drums’ are the opener for CD1 setting a driving pace so characteristic of Steve’s sound. The beat oozes its way into the sexy sounds of Diamond Dogs feat. Mary Tanning ‘Nothing Else’, a full on sexy dance floor filler that precedes the chunky funky ‘Moving On’ from Danusha and Andrea Doria’s Mix of the awesome club smash ‘Follow This Beat’ from Paul Johnson. Riddled with achingly cool house monsters this illustrates why Lawler is one of the UK’s most in demand DJs. Polekat’s ‘Dancing Queen’ keeps the tempo racing and ensures this is one CD that won’t be leaving the car stereo for months.

CD2 showcases the now legendary intro that Steve began a very memorable Harlem Night’s set with in February this year. His personalised ‘Lights Out Intro featuring Underworld’ had many screaming for more before he’d even put a needle to a record. Steve has become renowned for adding his own personal touches to tracks and making them unique… much like his sets. DJ Pierre Vs David Morales heats things up even more. ‘Make It Hot’ is the perfect ‘get the girls on the dancefloor’ Lawler-esque stomper. Classics such as Alcatraz ‘Give Me Love’ combined with the electro edged Eric Kaufmann Vs Jet ‘My Girlfriend Is a Robot’ ensure there is something for everyone with a heart beat. He ends the journey on an exclusive high with his own ‘nip and tuck edit’ of Jaydee’s ‘Plastic Dreams’, one of the most emotive and memorable dance tracks of all time – bliss!
