Metroline Limited Podcast 20 Mixed by Hamid
from Metroline Limited Podcast
As promised...here's September's Metroline Podcast double treatment! For our chapter 20 we are proud to have Hamid from the Half Baked crew. Hamid will soon release his debut EP on Metroline Limited too...keep your eyes peeled! DJ and producer Hamid was instantly immersed in music, growing up in the quiet south east of France. Brought up as by far the youngest of 5, his early years were full of musical inspiration from all genres and era's. In 2006 he moved to London. The city, its playground of rhythm and creative diversity were literally music to his ears; pulling him deeper in love with sound more than ever before Hamid began securing his place on the city’s house and techno scene. Playing over the years that followed at numerous venues and parties, most notably Tbar, Public Life and various underground events. Hamid’s current residency at London’s hottest Sunday party Half Baked, continues to see Hamid play amongst some of London and Europe’s most respected artists. Hamid met and began collaborating with a collective of people that continue to inspire him today. Collaborations with DoubtingThomas, who we see remix on Hamid ’s upcoming ‘Mentalo Disco’ EP on Metroline With so many elements that have been essential in his growth as a DJ, and more recently, a producer, it's unsurprising that we see such a sense of maturity in his work at such a young age. Hamid 's sound varies eclectically, from his DJ sets to solo productions, collaborations and live work. Latin and tribal ambiences are entwined with down tempo jazz and seductive vocals. Percussion and brass sit alongside deep and heavy rhythmic bass, always focusing on a strong and dominant platform of techno and deep house. It's erotic and dark, sensual and classical, encompassing so many genres and styles in one, a minefield of experimentation that works and forces our minds and bodies into his world. Hamid is part of the Half Baked collective as resident and in-house sound engineer as well as London based project Maison Close. Housing a diverse group of talent, Maison Close’s artists include Greg Brockmann, Robin Ordell, DoubtingThomas, Rainer, Mark Chambers and Hamid himself. 2010 see’s Hamid ’s ‘Mentalo Disco’ EP release on Metroline Limited. A solid and groovy EP with three killer tracks and a remix from fellow Metroline artist DoubtingThomas. Encompassing Hamid’s signature of progressive drum beats and deep house with irresistible groove.
