Sideways. Who Are We?

We are an underground house and techno label based in the South East corner of the UK currently in our fourth year. We evolved from a group of like minded DJs, promoters and producers who together have supplied the underground entertainment in our area for the last twenty years.
A platform for new emerging talent, we started locally but this soon expanded with remixes and signings from further afield. We are serious about music. We do what we do because we love it and we believe in older values. Every release is mastered properly whether it’s digital or vinyl by Chris Alexander @ Full Range in Brighton.

We aren’t big or clever, we jump up and down at parties just like you.
There are radio shows, mixes and tracks to download. Check out the site.
If you’re a producer or dj yourself or just enjoy dancing, drop us a line….

Out Now – Shades of Gray – So Easy Remixes

Shades of Gray - So Easy Remixes We are very happy to announce our latest single is now available on digital release through all the usual outlets.  As the title suggests this is a remix ep for one of our releases from last year, So Easy by Shades of Gray who have been getting some strong press for their recently released album Soul Machine.

Norm De Plume (of Delusions of Grandeur fame) turns in a slowed down, mega deep remix which is nicely complimented by a remix from fellow Londoner diSapia who turns up the summer vibes to 110%.

Both remixes are available here on Beatport

Guy Hornsby – Capa’s Journey Ep – Out Now

Producer, DJ, journalist, promoter and all round good egg Guy Hornsby, follows his recent remix for Keydin with his own debut EP for Sideways and we are all very excited to have him onboard.

EP title track Capa’s Journey has a deep techy groove sitting over an array of swirling atmospherics, trippy delays and mysterious vocal snippets. Guy’s other original track, Deeper Shade, is a moody piece of tech house with precise repetitive percussion and bending synths set against a warm bass groove.

First up on remix duty, Episodes reworks Capa’s Journey, lowering the tempo he provides a lighter take on the original with it’s summery pads and organs. Elliot Wright makes a welcome return to the label to finish off the release with a more dancefloor orientated take on Deeper Shade which bounces along with a satisfying chunky bass/kick groove.

Available now at Whatpeopleplay, Beatport and all other good digital outlets.

Layo (Layo & Bushwacka!)
really like it, got a great feel…

Chris Finke (Atomic Jam/Flux Recordings)
Really nice and vibey!! This has a lot of emotion in it while keeping the groove.

Will Saul
Guy Hornsby is a real talent and these two tracks deserve to be huge. Full support from me.

Martin Dawson (King Roc/Two Armadillos)
Capa’s journey is a very nice track. Very thoughtful and easy going.

Mat Playford (Weirdo Police/We Love Sundays)
Lookiing forward to play this on the terrace

Bearweasel
Productions sound fantastic! Love the moodiness of the second cut :)

Keydin – Loose Hands – Out Now


Following on from his remix of Citizen Black’s ‘Rinse Repeat’ and remixes for  Cubism and Stripped Digital, Keydin’s third release for Sideways finds him in deep groovy tech mode. A warm pad sits comfortably in the background throughout, whilst the the stripped down groove is layered with subtle jazzy rhythms. Combine these with a moody walking bassline and plenty of squeaks & bleeps to wander around the brain, and you have a track that truly showcases Keydin’s intelligent approach to deep tech house.

Promoter and DJ for London night Dropout, Guy Hornsby, makes his first appearance on Sideways, ahead of his forthcoming EP for us later in the year. His remix takes Loose Hands into even deeper territory, with a dark, trippy and almost sinister take on the original. A moody bass wallows underneath, whilst clever piano licks provide an altogether different melodic stance, plunging the track further into darkness. Serious music that isn’t just necessarily aimed at the dancefloor, concentrated more on mood and atmosphere.

Available now at Whatpeopleplay, Beatport and all other good digital outlets.

Dj Schwa / Shades of Gray
Wow! What a track. The original is amazing!
