Mix of the Day: House of Virus

motd_houseofvirus

House Of Virus is the musical partnership of Manchester based Dirty Orkestra and Lithuania’s Virus J, a DJ/production duo whose immaculate approach to house music production has garnered them a varied range of fans, from Carl Cox to Paul Oakenfold and Bob Sinclair to Shadow Child.

At the core of this partnership resides a genuine love and appreciation for quality house music forged during their respective careers. This is a born out by their releases: records that simultaneously nod to the past while looking to the future with a near permanent fixture in the Beatport Top 20.

In 2015 the duo embarked on a new journey and is now at the helm of hotly tipped new label, Freakin909, run in collaboration with DJ Ides and the illustrious Marshall Jefferson; undoubtedly one of the most respected house music producers of all time. Alongside a release schedule inundated with quality, March 2016 saw the release of House Of Virus & Jimi Polo ‘Better Days’ on Freakin909, a huge house cut that is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most explosive anthems. Then last month in April, Freakin909 unleashed a phenomenal remix package of Marshall Jefferson’s seminal ‘Mushrooms’, complete with reimaginings Want More & Can’t Say No and House Of Virus themselves in collaboration with Tom Finn.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
