Headliner: Touché
Touché is London-based DJ/producer Theo Keating. Currently resident at Brighton's long-running Boutique night, and at The Culture Club in Ghent, Belgium, Theo's DJing takes him around the world. He also records for the Southern Fried label, and runs his own label, Body Clap.
But it all started with The Wiseguys. Formed in 1994 by Touché and Regal, and signed to Wall Of Sound, The Wiseguys released their debut LP Executive Suite in 1996. It received critical acclaim, and is now accepted as a cult classic. However, Regal soon departed, and Touché went on to record the follow-up album The Antidote solo. It was this album that gave rise to the hit singles Ooh La La (#2 in the UK Top 40) and Start The Commotion (Billboard Top 10 in the US), and led to Touché remixing artists such as Beck, The Offspring and Gorillaz. But wanting to leave The Wiseguys on a high, Theo decided to finish with the project in 2000, and concentrate on his work as Touché...
A
long stint DJing at Fabric followed, and a mix album for the renowned
Journeys By DJ series, as well as his own radio shows - on Atlantic 252, and
as co-host on XfM's All-City Show. It was during this period that
Touché fit in releases for respected labels Subliminal, Heat, and Junior.
However, it was Fatboy Slim's Southern Fried Records where Theo finally
found a home.
So far Touché has released two singles for the label - The Paddle / The Girl's A Freak and She's At The Club / The Body Clap, both to a great reception, and is currently working on a follow-up single and album. As Touché he has remixed for labels such as Fine Records, Distinctive, C2 and Open, and has just started his own label, Body Clap which is already creating a stir.
Chapter 2 is just beginning...
To quote Touché on his MySpace “Had a great night last time I played here, so looking forward to another bash.”
