MOOD II SWING

As Mood II Swing, production duo Lem Springsteen and John Ciafone will go down in history as one of the most prolific and respected house duos of the last 25 years. At their best, they are simply untouchable, with their drum programming often cited as what set them apart from the rest of the field: always busier and more intricate than straight-up 4/4 house tracks.

Listen to a Mood II Swing track and you’re immediately struck by those extra hi-hats, snares and claps that gave the records such power and drive. The fact that those classic Mood II Swing drums also made them crucial figures in the UK Garage movement puts them in a league alongside luminaries such as Masters At Work, Armand Van Helden and Todd Edwards.

In early 2016 the dynamic duo released “Strictly Mood II Swing”, a comprehensive 3CD collection of some of this legendary duo’s finest moments. Highlights include ‘All Night Long’ and ‘Do It Your Way’, two records that arguably set a blueprint for house music production that is still be referenced by producers around the world. This knack of turning big vocal records into even bigger vocal club records is demonstrated with Kim English ‘Learn II Love’ and Fonda Rae ‘Living in Ecstasy’, while their dub mixes – think Everything But The Girl ‘Wrong’ (Mood II Swing Dub) and Mood II Swing feat. Carol Sylvan ‘Closer’ (Swing II Mood Dub) – are about as timeless as house music gets.

Currently, in the post millennium, with a resurgence of early 90’s House music, John Ciafone and Lem Springsteen have rejoined as a production team to showcase their music in DJ sets. Mood II Swing are now working with UK Agency, Air London, and currently on tour playing the hottest nightclubs and festivals on the planet. Lem Springsteen and John Ciafone intend to showcase their music to a new generation of house music lovers through the release of their classic tracks and new productions.

Simply put, Mood II Swing are among the finest producers in the history of house music. Do not miss this rare chance to witness the Canadian debut of house music icons, Mood II Swing, alongside Tyrone Solomon & Toronto Hustle at The Den. A decade of boogie… it’s a celebration ya’ll, LET’S DANCE!

All for the love of house music!
