ARTIST AND RELEASE INFORMATION
2007 was an amazing year for Deadset. Both the singles and their debut album Keys Open Doors received rave reviews from the press, house music lovers and DJ’s such as Jesse Rose (of course!), Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Andrew Weatherall and Claude Vonstroke.
What is already being known as the Deadset sound, unique infectious warm organic grooves, have been lighting up dance floors the world over and into 2008 things are set to blow up even more with the 12 Months Of Deadset series. At the end of each of the 12 months in 2008 two exclusive Deadset tracks and remixes will be available to download from Beatport.
The 12 Months of Deadset starts at the end of January with remixes of Acid Radar and Brazil ’70 that were two of the stand out tracks on Keys Open Doors. You can check out the tracks on the MySpace player at the top of the page, and if you’re into the audio, simply go straight to the Beatport player over there on the right and go get ‘em…
With the profile of Deadset1 + Deadset2 continuing to rise, and their music continuing to push forward, you can be sure that every track in the 12 Months series will be an essential buy for every DJ and house fan.
Keep a look out on the Port(TM) for the monthly releases. For more info please see the websites across the way there on the right…

We said 2007 would be the year of Deadset and it has proved to be just that as both the singles and the album Keys Open Doors have received rave reviews from the press; DJ’s and house music lovers the world over. DJ’s such as Jesse Rose, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Andrew Weatherall and Claude VonStroke have been playing their tracks everywhere to great effect.
The duo formally known as Cass + Mangan have previously remixed the likes of Muse, Miss Kittin, Röyksopp, Tiefschwarz, Justin Timberlake, and the Scissor Sisters. They have had releases and remixes on labels such as Fine, Blu Fin, Souvenir, Made To Play, DirtyBird, Moon Harbour, Wall Of Sound and Tsuba.
Deadset have recently played gigs to packed crowds at Weekend, Watergate and Panorama Bar in Berlin. They have also tweaked out their sound at The Key, The End and Fabric in London to name a few. Recently they have been performing live shows that showcase the tracks from the album Keys Open Doors. Deadset are also a rather accomplished DJ duo and have recently done one of the feted Pod Cast for the Resident Advisor website, which was considered one of the best of 2007…
IDJ Magazine made Keys Open Doors album of the month in the October edition. They have also featured it in the Top 25 albums of 2007. Here’s what IDJ and some of the other press say : IDJ Magazine (UK)…the finest wonky house and techno money can buy… DJ Magazine (UK)…Fun, addictive and highly original, it’s the perfect addition to the Front Room’s catalogue… NME (UK)…there’s a zippy playfulness to their superior future-disco…
