Kadenza has a serious history in house music on the South Coast of England.
Mark and Simon met in 2001 while both holding residencies at
their local club and served their DJ apprenticeship supporting the
likes of Tall Paul, Jeremy Healy, Seb Fontaine and Danny
Rampling back in the day. Mark went on to open his own record
shop ‘Essential Plastic’ with Simon also working the counter
supplying their locality with the best dance music from around the
world
As the new decade dawns, nothing has changed, house music and
club culture have become a way of life. The record shop may have
gone but Mark is a leading UK promoter now with his regular
ASMBL club night and event brand. ASMBL attracts an upfront
diverse crowd hungry to hear the best DJ’s in the world who he
invites down to play alongside Simon and himself at venues
around the UK’s South Coast.
Kadenza have a love of music with influences from many genres
stretching back to Motown, 80’s/90’s Rap and Hip Hop, Soul and
Funk. Drum & Bass and Jungle right up to industrial and Berlin-
style Techno and Trance. This has led the duo into the studio and
music production. In the past decade the Kadenza sound has
developed an energetic, positive funky tech house vibe attracting
the attention from their peers, such as Erick Morillo, Mark Knight
and Robbie Rivera and a growing army of fans. 2019 saw them
firmly inaugurate themselves on the scene with a Traxsource No 1
and a string of successful releases on key underground labels
including NastyFunk, Freakin909, Shanghaied, Whartone,
Automation Nation, Somn’thing Records, Zulu, Cheeky Trax,
Whorehouse and forthcoming music on Cr2 Records and
Material’s Playmobil.
