Mr. Nugget hits Manila! (As published in the Manila Standard Today’s June 12th edition) London-based DJ and producer Mr. Nugget is on his Asian Tour and is hitting Manila venues throughout the week. On Tuesday night June 8th, he performed at Café Mondial in Pasig at an event titled “A Common Future” organized by Play Tuesdays’ Tollo Bote. “Last night was fantastic, such a great vibe, and to get everyone dancing can be a big task, especially to music they may not be used to,” says Mr. Nugget about his Café Mondial gig, “but I managed to do it, very pleased.” On Friday night June 11th, he guests at MOVE, part of M Café’s M Sessions. And on Saturday night June 12th, Mr. Nugget headlines at MUSIC & WINE at Martinis in the Mandarin Oriental playing soulful deep house music to a knowledgeable audience. “House music is really big in London now, and I’m bringing with me this sound to Manila,” he says with a confident smirk. Mr. Nugget is expected to drop his latest hot release “A Little Fire” featuring vocalist Natasha Watts (now out on Barcoda Records) and “Free” featuring Brooke Bailey, a track also remixed by DeepCitySoul that went on to become one of the soulful house gems of 2009, getting played across the globe, and registered in countless DJ's top ten on online house music megastore Traxsource. From warming up sets for the likes of Jojo Flores and Alix Alvarez, Mr. Nugget has gone on to forming his own live band, record label and promotion under the Hot Yoga brand. With an undeniable passion for house music, he has taken inspiration from the likes of MAW, Blaze, Reel People, Osunlade and Joey Negro, coining a sound that’s distinctive and filled with creativity. With his profound DJ sets that take you on a musical journey of unprecedented mixing ability, encapsulating House, Funk, Disco and Broken beat, “Nug” as his friends call him ignites dance floors across the UK and abroad on a regular basis. After playing Hong Kong’s Kee Club last week, he is in Manila this week, and he hits several cities in Vietnam next. But while he is here, we anticipate great things from the man they call Mr Nugget!
