Max HeyraudLocal Selection 318 sees Lana Hayes and Sleepyhead join forces, bringing their bass-heavy, freaky sounds to the mix with the same energy and chemistry they bring to the dance floor.
Friends by chance, DJs by choice. Lana Hayes and Sleepyhead go together like pint bottles in the sun, Lucozades on rough mornings and beers amongst friends. Having clocked countless hours of field research in the wild, from club dancefloors to festival fields, the pair have developed the kind of chemistry that can only come from shared experience, questionable decisions and a genuine love for the dance.
When Lana and Sleepyhead come together behind the decks, that friendship becomes impossible to ignore. There’s an undeniable spark between them, an explosive back-and-forth that sends bass-heavy, booty-shaking shockwaves through the floor, seismic activity that would surely register somewhere on the Richter scale.
Their selections occupy the freakier end of the dance music spectrum, built for sweaty rooms, loose limbs and those moments when the night starts to take on a life of its own. This is music with attitude, humour and plenty of low-end pressure.
They preach to the masses the Gummer Gospel: freaky dance music for freaky dancers, delivered with the energy of two mates who are clearly having as much fun behind the decks as everyone else is in front of them.
