Excited to welcome the supremely talented Maurice Fulton from Tokyo for the 2nd daytime instalment following the very lively & well received launch party with Linkwood & Craig Smith in December.
Originally from the port city of Baltimore in the U.S., he is widely regarded as one of house music's true originals with a back catalogue of highly sophisticated productions. A somewhat elusive character, his musical foundations run deep — shaped by disco, funk, soul and early hip-hop before becoming synonymous with house music in the early 90’s. As an extremely accomplished DJ, his sound is very much influenced by his background with his sets moving freely between house, disco, techno and left-field selections.
The intimate People's Leisure Club basement is the ideal setting to showcase his talents at what will be his first Scottish appearance in 7 years.
Also excited to welcome Atjazz Record Company affiliated 'Peacey' to the lineup. In addition to being an all round top lad, he is, like Maurice Fulton, an extremely talented producer with a very impressive back catalogue of original productions and remixes whilst also being equally at home on the decks as he is in the studio.
Expect deepness and when it comes to Maurice Fulton, definitely expect the unexpected!
***Capacity limited to 200***

Maurice Fulton Bio
Maverick production genius Maurice Fulton is a man of few words, who is more inclined to let his music do the talking. We know for certain that he comes from Baltimore in the USA and has been DJing since his early teens. Starting on Hip-hop and then moving on to House and Garage at various residencies across the US he played under his nickname DR Scratch.
Maurice began playing organ in church and drums in high school. So when he put his talent to making music it wasn’t long before he was using his skills to produce tracks with The Basement Boys and Ultra Nate. His most famous work was heard on Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters, one of the most successful house tunes of the early ‘90s.
Maurice went on to become highly prolific in his production work releasing tracks on various labels through the 90’s including Nuphonic and Warp in the UK. Often linked to contemporaries like Carl Craig, Derrick May and Frankie Knuckles, his textured sounds and complexity of production astounded many and grew him a loyal fan base. Some called it weird house others arty disco, his left of centre productions were always on the money.
In his more recent years he has been working for Tirk, Kathy Diamond and DFA. Maurice likes to be known first and foremost as a producer, though for those in the know, Maurice is also an extremely accomplished DJ. His sets are firmly routed in the Loft and Garage classics that gave New York City its clubbing heritage. These tracks often quietly edited to perfection by his own hand, and presented and eq’ed to maximum effect on the dance floor.
Maurice Fulton is one of house music’s true originals and his enviable back catalogue will live long in a modern world of disposable downloads.
