Club Review: Sounds Of Soul (UK) Presents - Lovebirds @ Cabaret Voltaire, 25 May

Sounds of Soul (UK) were nice enough to bring German producer Lovebirds to Cabaret Voltaire last week, and it proved to be just the night filled with old school house that the JFC team was hoping it would be.

Indeed, the night was stacked with a chilled blend of music which ranged through a couple of different genres and styles but stuck loosely to a policy of funky and soulful deep house which filled the downstairs cave setting of Cabaret Voltaire perfectly.

On entry to the venue though, we descended down to find a distinct lack of people, as we had arrived pretty early on (too keen for the gig). Needless to say, we did what any reasonable person would in the situation and headed straight for the bar.

Drinks prices were pretty reasonable at £2.50 for a vodka/rum and mixer or £2.80 for a can of Red Stripe – that classic Cab Vol beverage. As we sat and drank the tunes continued to drop and we heard one of the best sets in the venue that we’ve heard in some time when Lovebirds took to the decks. A high compliment to say the least given the high profile clientele being attracted to Cab Vol right now.

There was a variety of style and genres on offer from Lovebirds, but a distinctly old school theme could be found throughout the work on the night.

The summer vibes were apparent from the start as well, with Lindstrom’s remix of Grizzly Bear track ‘Gun Shy’ packing up the nightclub with a funky sounding made up of rhythmic synths and bouncing electronic beats.

Lovebirds 808ies Matrix mix of his own ‘Holdin’ On’, which features soft vocals from Lisa Shaw, impressed shortly after. The track features an irresistible 80s-style bassline twang which when banged out through the impressive speakers at Cabaret Voltaire, meant it was near enough impossible not to turn on the dance moves.

The likes of Gypsy Men’s ‘Hear The Music’ and Kink’s ‘Hand Made’ furthered the back to the future vibe of the night with that signature funky sound that has re-risen from the ashes recently to massive public love.

The disco vibes were cemented by the German producer as he continued to churn out beauties – Tony Lionni’s ‘Higher Ground’ landing to great reaction as the synthetic twang and circling funk beat reverberated off the walls of the caved venue, and MK’s now renowned ‘Burning’ setting off some more drunken dance moves in a room where the audience and the DJ were clearly on the same page.

All in all, this was a very strong set from Lovebirds, a producer who has continues to go from strength to strength. The theme of the set was clear was early on, and the old school, funky house bangers didn’t stop landing until the night was over.

This kind of night highlights the way that Cabaret Voltaire has turned in recent years; it’s the place to be for house/electronic music and once again it did not disappoint.

Edinburgh venue Cabaret Voltaire is set to welcome Lovebirds on 25 May 2014 for a Bank Holiday bash that will no doubt be massive.

That's right - Lovebirds is Edinburgh bound, as Cab Vol team up once again with their west coast family friends DC Sessions. This promises to be a loose and sweaty night of deep and soulful house music in the main room,
solidly supported by the Cab Vol Sundays residents in room two.

Sebastian Doering (Lovebirds/Knee Deep) has been at the forefront of the deep house scene for the past five years. His hypnotic blend of nudisco/boogie and mid tempo production work has pretty much worked it's way in to DJ's record bags worldwide

I'm pretty sure by now, everyone on the planet has heard/been touched by Lovebirds track, Want You In My Soul, released in 2011. It still gets absolutely hammered today and it's provided the soundtrack to many a loose night for the Just For Culture crew.

This is a big night for Cab Vol and for the electronic scene in Edinburgh which is often accused of being all too subdued.

We'll be there to review, and we reccomend that you come along too - buy us a couple of drinks while you're there if you want.
