Roy Mclaren is one of Scotland’s freshest young stars who is rapidly establishing a strong reputation for his talents both in the studio and in the DJ booth.
Taking influence from his days on the dance floors of the rave scene, Roy channelled his energy into his own productions and promotions. He put on underground parties and promoted successful club nights in Stirling and Edinburgh and in 2003, after honing his technical ability behind the decks from an early age, Roy won the ‘Scottish Open Decks Championship’ in Edinburgh. He was consequently invited to play at some of the top venues and festivals throughout Scotland.
After graduating from Paisley University with a degree in Music Technology and Commercial Music, Roy has quickly developed as a producer. With releases under his own name and as Chorduroy Music on labels such as Sequential, Innovate and Nocturnal Groove, Roy’s productions are gaining significant recognition. Roy has also, recently, taken his ‘My Mate’s Odd’ project - a live 8-piece house act - on the road to perform a series of live shows at venues such as Cabaret Voltaire (Edinburgh).
In 2006, Roy remixed ‘Something Different To Say’ by Etherfox for Nocturnal Groove. After this remix picked up widespread club support and was featured in The Shapeshifters’ ‘Essential Mix’ on Radio One, he subsequently signed the ‘Punch It’ EP to Nocturnal Groove which was released to critical acclaim and gained regular plays from likes of Nic Fanciulli, Mike Gray, ATFC and The Beginerz . The ‘Release Me’ EP is a collection of Roy’s latest productions; signed to Nocturnal Groove and featuring 4 original tracks with a groove for every dance floor, this EP is set to be his most successful package yet!!
In the studio, Roy is currently developing his studio as well as working on a host of existing new solo productions, collaborations and live material. Stay tuned for more news on these developments.
As a DJ, Roy hosts regular nights in Stirling as well as touring throughout the U.K. and Europe. He has recently taken his captivating and original DJ sets to Ibiza, Sweden, France, Poland and Ireland. Roy has, additionally, played alongside the likes of The Shapeshifters, Joey Negro, Seb Fontaine, Lottie and Justin Harris at venues across the UK. Without doubt, Roy Mclaren is a name to watch out for in 2009 and beyond!!

Slabs of the Tabernacle NYE Party @ La Cheetah Club (formerly The Twisted Wheel) 31/12/09
Mark du Mosch (Moustache Records - Rotterdam) Electrick Dragon LIVE (Rotterdam) Casionova (Cyber Dance Records, Magic Waves, IFM) Slabs of the Tabernacle DJs
Headlining the New Year party we welcome back Mark du Mosch. This will be his third time at Slabs so it's fair to say that we have much respect for the Rotterdam artist. An obsessive collector, Mark's DJ sets manage to be intriguing and hard rocking in equal measures, and we really couldn't think of anyone better to headline the New Year extravaganza.
Joining Mark will be fellow Rotterdamer Ricky the Dragon, performing a rare live set as Electrick Dragon. Having put out records dating right back to the early 90s (under many many aliases), Ricky carries with him some proper techno credentials. With his most recent output on Moustache Records he has produced two epic synth party bombs that are now firm favourites of ours. We first caught the Dragon live show at the Magic Waves festival earlier this year and it blew us all away, and so are delighted to welcome Ricky to Glasgow for his first Scottish performance.
And finally, making the trip up from Brighton will be the Italo battle axe Casionova. Over the past two years Casionova has become a permanent fixture at Slabs of the Tabernacle. His DJ sets are straight from the heart affairs and again we couldn't think of a better guest to see off 2009.
ALSO, If you havent, please check out the monster track with Kobbe & mar-C titled "Hypnotic Rhythm".. Supported by DJ VIBE, DJ CHUS, ROGER SANCHEZ, DJ BORIS, CARLOS MANACA, HUGO RIZZO, FRANK MAUREL, KEITH BLACKSTONE
