On Saturday night Red Rooms are pleased to welcome International DJ Tom Gandey aka CAGEDBABY. Tom has many guises but is most known for his seminal 2006 Album ‘Will See You Now’ released on Southern Fried Records. This was Post punk disco Psychedelia at its finest. Think acid-house superhero meets New Romantic. Neil Tennant meets Fatboy Slim. Influenced by everything from Talking Heads to Toto it’s music that pops out of the speaker with a martini in its hand. But why the name Cagedbaby? In his own words… “Either it’s something to do with being linked to the earth, chained to Mother Nature by an unseen umbilical chord. Or I chose it because my releases would end up being next to the Chemical Brothers in the racks at HMV.”
Gandey’s wide musical influence shows in his unique productions, earning him a call from the Chemical Brothers to support them on their world tour and also playing everywhere from the Big Day Out with Soulwax and LCD, to the Fuji Rock Festival with the Presets and the main stage at Creamfields to wide acclaim. Along side the live shows, Cagedbaby’s DJ sets became stuff of legend. Happily embracing technology Tom was one of the first to use Ableton to its full potential giving him an early lead and signature style to his explosive DJ sets, always impeccably sequenced, layering up to 5 tracks at a time, crafting pace and systematically delivering monstrous builds, spaced out chordal drops and hair raising peaks noisily exploring techno, electro, new rave and even breaks busting genres.
A real exciting DJ Cagedbaby is a must for you party calendar this Saturday 18th April. Doors open 9pm admission is £5 / £7 and its advised to get there early.
