Ok so i turned up abit late due to other commitments, I step into Dex and immediately could tell the vibe was building nicely courtesy of PowderSoul. Playing some wicked classic house trax and opening nicely for Phil Asher.
Then came Phils turn, as always a solid performance from the machine that is Phlash, playing some serious new pressure and some oldskool heat which had the crowd eating out of his hand setting a good stead. Phil played through his two hours with a solid performance as always and really worked the crowd up to hear Andy Ward building the pressure brick by brick in the house.
Also I have to mention the crowd was excellent, a nice mixture of people all there for the love of house music, Just like it used to be, so well done the Deep Cover lads for making that happen. So Andy Comes in and immediately turns up the pressure playing some serious new heat and afro pressure, check out the little video of Andy getting 'em going.....
Andy played a solid little set keeping the crowd moving through old classics and new heat with an edge of afrocentric beats, the crowd was feeling his selection but what more would you expect from a Soul Heaven Resident??. Biggups to Andy & Phil for representing.
Blue Boy came in with some real soulful and deep house, at first I thought it was a real change and he might loose the crowd but he really got them going, getting deep and darker as the night went on. Playing a very educated house set, showing his knowledge and love for the music.
Simon Boi, well i have to be honest i left before hearing him mix, I had an overdue appointment with my bed!! But what I will say is : WELL F*CKING DONE FOR PUTTING ON A GREAT NIGHT, really giving south london a night to call its own.
Deep Cover will be receiving full support from myself and I fully encourage you to go down if you missed this one. Also I may try to arrange a discount, for all people who read this blog and stay up-to-date.... but we will see..... Hopefully there is lost to come from the boys at Deep Cover, Congrats lads.

Deep Cover @ Dex Club, Sat 20th Mar
DeepCover launches on 20th March at Dex in Brixton and we have an unmissable lineup to kick things off for this spring 2010 event. The mighty ‘Phil Asher‘ from Restless Soul / SoulHeaven who is one of the last decades most prolific producers heads up the main room together with ‘Andy Ward‘ from SoulHeaven / Vocal booth who is just back from a worldwide tour and playing his first London gig of the year. We know they are excited to be playing alongside... the 'Soulful beats' producer 'PowderSoul' and the residents 'Simon Boi' and 'BlueBoy' will be laying down the foundations throughout the night. All the £8 earlybird tickets are now sold out, but we still have £10 eTickets, dead easy - just print it out or show your phone on the night.
Taking place at Brixton's Dex Club with great indoor spaces and the best outdoor heated terrace in London. I will most definitely be rolling through this party, looks like it should be Niceness.....
BBE @ Paradise, Friday 10th.
