Steve Lawler returns to the compilations arena with ‘Viva London’, a double mix album that gives a very clear musical insight to his monthly residency at The End, a night he’s justifiably proud of. The album is the first of several mixes that will give a retrospective look at the residency.

“VIVA Harlem Nights has been running for nearly 6 years at The End in London and it was time lay down a permanent celebration of the night” says Steve. The residency gives the Birmingham DJ a chance to regularly spin five or six hour sets in the capital and has also spawned spin-off nights in Toronto and Los Angeles.

And what a celebration! Steve’s London is a twisted hedonistic world that oozes dark funk, sexy sleaze and sinister fun through an expert blend of the world’s best producers. “There’s some very exciting music out there,” he elaborates, “The hardest call was what I should leave off. I decided to put a mix together of tracks that I have been heavily supporting this year. At the night itself I play for 5 hours so re-creating the club atmosphere within the 2 mixes – which is only a 2 ½-hour timeframe – was really tough, but you get the picture of how the night starts musically, what the vibe is and how it ends.”

The double album includes cuts from the likes of Dubfire, Adam Beyer, David K, Onur Özer and Reshuffle that have been tried and tested on Viva audiences, as well as two brand new, exclusive cuts of his own. "Rather than going down the route of hunting out the newest tracks out there, I've put together a mix of records that have all been aired at Viva Harlem Nights at The End in London, which is what this album series is about," explains Lawler.

“The album truly resembles the night itself; it starts off with deep and warm house and builds its way through different genres while always keeping the same flavour before ending up quite tough." Steve’s created an album that will undoubtedly stand the test of time – what better way to pay tribute to the night itself?

Looking to the future, the series of albums will take in other cities that play host to Viva, the next volume coming from Steve’s very successful residency in Toronto. But for now, please enjoy the weird, wonderful soundscape that’s Lawler’s London!
