Having set the bar pretty high with a launch party in October 2011 that see "House Master" MK Marc Kinchen play 3 hours B2B with brother/DJ Partner in crime Scottie Deep and a world's first live PA from Alana, "Talk Is Cheap" ensured that they welcomed 2012 in serious style, warming up what was a long and cold January with house music veterans Inland Knights, the very talented Lovebirds and incredible live artist Olene Kadar raising the roof of Cable's main room.

This time round "Talk Is Cheap" will be taking place on a bank holiday to provide a "Good Friday" party that promises to rock Cable's beefy soundsystem once again with some bass infused groovy house cuts!

Talk Is Cheap are very proud to present Robsoul Recordings head honcho Phil Weeks. As a house music purist and boss of one of the world's most renowned and respected house music labels we are extremely pleased to have secured the services of such an internationally credible artist that is extremely well respected within the industry. This will also be the London leg of his Raw Instrumental Album Tour.

Put simply Phil prefers vinyl, likes his mixes dirty, and knows how to rock a crowd with some serious basslines :)

Flying in from Barcelona for his England debut will be Soul Minority who will be providing us with some scintillating deep house sounds. We are also very happy to welcome Defected's very own and the very talented Sam Divine.

Completing the line up on the back of another big night will be Talk Is Cheap residents Jedd Barry and Chris Solo as well as guests Loud Minority DJs (Melvo Baptiste & Russ Jay).

We also have a very special guest in room 2, from 90's UK house sensation Tuff Jam: Matt Jam Lamont playing a 2 hour 90's house set...

Phil Weeks is a house music purist. Whether DJing or producing, the Parisian with the huge personality delivers raw beats influenced in equal measure by classic Chicago house and nu-school French flair, underpinned with a hip-hop attitude. His long running Robsoul Recordings also defines him as one of the most skilled label heads in underground house music.

In the studio Phil is dedicated to classic hardware like Akai’s MPC 3000 sampler and Roland’s TR909 drum machine. He has released more than 250 tracks and remixes since his debut in 2000, working with labels including 2020 Vision, Music For Freaks, Brique Rouge, Detour, Adult Only and his own Robsoul, which is responsible for the majority of his original output. Phil’s work can also be found in the collaborations Fries & Bridges (with Hector Moralez) and PS Project/Bubba Beats & Kid Piston (with DJ Sneak).

Production highlights include Phil’s three albums ‘Love Affair’ (2011), ‘Yeah I Like That’ (2003) and ‘Raw Instrumental’ (2012), alongside style-defining singles ‘Hypnose’, ‘It Put Me Well’ and ‘All Day Every Day’. The music has been heavily supported by international dance press including achieving accolades such as MixMag’s and De-Bug’s ‘Album Of The Month’, while DJs ranging from Danny Howells and Yousef to Mark Farina and DJ Sneak consistently play his tracks.

Behind the decks, Phil has racked up enough air miles to take him around the world several times over, with appearances at the world’s leading house clubs -
Queen’s Club, Sankeys, Circus, Ministry of Sound, Back to Basics and Stereo are all regular haunts, alongside his Paris residency ‘Get Underground’ at the infamous Rex Club.

Phil has also fully embraced the relationship with his fans and house music fans in general – whether through his popular ‘Underground Chronicles’ video diaries on Youtube or his personal relationships on Facebook.

Despite his success Phil isn’t one to brag. To him it’s all about keeping proper house music alive. Which just goes to prove Phil Weeks is a house music purist.

Matt Jam Lamont (Tuff Jam)
_____________________________________________________________________________________

A pioneer, respected DJ, an accomplished producer/remixer, label / A&R manager and radio presenter, Matt 'Jam' Lamont has been an intrinsic part of the UK garage scene from its very inception.

It was at South London's The Arches, where the burgeoning underground UK garage sound, and indeed Matt's career really took shape with his residency at the legendary Sunday venue.

It was at this seminal Sunday club that he hooked up with fellow DJ Karl 'Tuff Enuff' Brown, and together in 1993 they formed the now legendary production/remixing team, Tuff Jam. The duo became the leading figureheads of UK garage during the mid to late 90's, turning out a slew of classic anthems from 'Tumblin' Down' and entered the charts withTJR's 'Just Gets Better' (Multiply) & Tuff Jam ft, Jaquee Bennett Need Good Love (XL) to top remixes for Kristine Blond, Boyz II Men, Usher, Coolio, En Vogue, Rosie Gaines, Brand New Heavies, Mark Morrison and more.

TUFFJAM mix CD's "Underground Frequencies" Vol.1 (silver sales status) and Vol.2 in 1997 and 1998 for Satellite Records. Another album was compiled and mixed for the U.S.A. entitled "TUFF JAMS".

In 1997 Tuff and Jam made an influential leap onto commercial radio (the first UK Garage DJs to do so) with their specialist UK garage show on Kiss 100 FM; a highly respected show.

We are extremely pleased to welcome Matt to play a special 90s influenced Tuff Jam set which is definitely set to go down a storm!
