This Saturday, Discovery celebrates its two year anniversary at Santos Party House with a fantastic line-up featuring DJ Harvey and Kyle Hall, sure to inspire some serious moves on the dancefloor.

DJ Harvey’s sound can be described as a mix of classics with fresh house, an approach which led him to star at nights such as ‘New Hard Left’ and ‘Moist’ at Ministry Of Sound in the nineties. He has made his name through DJing, scratching and especially re-editing, often together with Gerry Rooney on the now legendary Black Cock label. “I was aware of the whole edit thing that came out of the US and Paradise Garage scene and there were tracks I would play two copies of or record them to the reel to mess around with as I was Djing and re-editing for me was just an extension of that,” says Harvey. “When you have a residency you are playing records week after week breaking new stuff and it’s a way to keep things fresh and exciting and put your personality on the music.”

Omar-S, Theo Parrish and other Detroit luminaries call Kyle Hall one of the most talented youngsters around. Kyle Hall has been DJing and recording music since he was prepubescent, and was mentored by some of the most notable names in contemporary Detroit techno.
