Happy New Year from Scotland to the world!!

Happy New Year, from a slightly hungover Mr Sales in bonnie Scotland!

So 2011 is over and we’re into a brand new year.  Welcome to 2012.  Some say the world will end this year, I say things are just heating up!!

There’s going to be a lot happening for me this year.  I’m continuing my residency with Ministry Of Sound‘s UK Tours including the hot new VIP brand which I hope will really take off.  It’s all about cool, funky, vocal house music in the most chic venues you can imagine!!  Of course the Ministry Of Sound year wouldnt be complete without a Clubbers Guide album, keep your eyes on www.ministryofsound.com for details on when that will be coming and any tour / event info!

The most exciting thing for me is going to be ‘Our House’, the new album that I’m working on with S.U.Z.Y.  You’ll have already heard our C’est La Vie track which went Top 20 on Traxsource.com over the summer.  Our next single Perseverence is coming very soon.  Remixes in so far are from: Rob Hayes, Perspex People, DeepSource, and Vertical Smile (which sounds massive!!), and there may be one more to come before the package is complete.    Following Perseverence, will be the song which we entered into the Hed Kandi Producer Competition and they rated it into their Top 10!  It’s called All About  The Love, and I’m starting to organise remixes for it already.  We reckon we can perhaps nail the Top 10 on Traxsource.com with that one!!  So, once All About The Love is released, the focus will be on the album itself.  The idea of it is to showcase S.U.Z.Y’s vocals and (hopefully!) my production skills in dance music styles ranging from soulful house, through deep house, funky house and of course some big room sounds.  We’re throwing in the odd surprise too which we’re not disclosing until the album is released…  but keep your eyes peeled right here to keep up to date with everything!

My other focus this year is going to me the label I am running in partnership with Universe Media, called CSD Recordings.  It launched in October with Sax-A-Tron (see Label section of this site, above) and we’re going to be putting out the next release in February from Dache & Shaw, called the Freak EP which is sounding excellent!!  Following that, will be a track by Frankie Brass, featuring the aforementioned S.U.Z.Y called Behind Closed Doors, of which I’m working on the remix right now!  I’m delighted to say that CSD Recordings will be releasing a compilation album later in year, featuring the best tracks and remixes on the label, and those of our partner labels and friends.  We’re always on the lookout for big room commercial tracks, tech-house and techno records.  Feel free to let me hear your new productions, send links to colinsales@facebook.com or via soundcloud at www.soundcloud.com/colinsales

In addition to all this production, I’ll be looking to do even more DJ sets this year…  for you promoters out there check out the Booking section from the menu above for details on how to book me for independent sets and/or S.U.Z.Y live PA, or booking me as part of a Ministry Of Sound event.

Anyway that’s all from me for now…  hope you’ve had a good one.  I’m away to eat a lovely Chinese curry – saving the steak pie dinner for tomorrow when I’ll be less hungover!!

Season’s Greetings from Colin Sales

I just wanted to wish all my friends, peers and fan’s a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year for 2012!!

Looking back at 2011, I had one of my best years!!  My highlights have included gaining my Ministry Of Sound UK Tours residency, headlining my first Ministry Tour event in Worcester and DJing on the Clubbers Guide tour in Sunderland.  I must also mention the rather large 2ManyDJs event which Colours put on at The Arches in Glasgow (my live set can still be heard online now via my Soundcloud – details below!).  I also returned to Ayr to spin with the G-Funk boys which I thoroughly enjoyed!

 

Production-wise, I’ve released my first single with S.U.Z.Y called C’est La Vie, which reached the Top 20 on Traxsource on release!!  An amazing achievement that both myself and S.U.Z.Y are very proud of.  In fact, we’ve been so inspired by it’s success that we have almost completed a full length album!!  We’re putting the final touches to it, and we expect it to be released before June 2012.  We’re both very excited about it, and can’t wait to let you guys hear it!!  Before that, we’ve got our next single Perseverence which will be released in February, and our other new single All About The Love, which hit the Top 10 of Hed Kandi‘s recent Producer competition, coming out in the spring.

 

Let’s not forget the summer smash Aim High featuring my man across the pond, Morrisson!  We’ve had great feedback from the track, and you’re sure to hear more Morrisson tracks produced by myself soon!

 

This year, I partnered up with Universe Media to bring you a brand new record label calledCSD Recordings.  The whole point of the label is to bring out my own club music, alongside that of my friends and peers in the industry, with a focus on big room club music.  The label already has support from the likes of Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Tony Humphries and many many more, and we have a comp planned for 2012 which is looking very interesting indeed!

 

What else happened this year?  Oh yeah, I launched my mobile app which you can open in your web browser and ‘add to homescreen’ for easy on-the-go access to all my stuff!!  And to round things off, I’ve almost hit 1000 followers on Twitter!

 

So, thanks to all of you who have supported me this year!!  Im off for some festive rest, before I strap myself in and prepare for a momentous 2012, here is my Best Of 2011 Radio show available for you to listen again or download, featuring a LIVE performance from S.U.Z.Y!!  Turn it up!!

Have a good one!

Colin x
