Are they your Local Heroes?
By admin on Aug 21, 2008 in DJs and Producers
Local Heroes are a DJ and production duo from sunny London. With their names spreading like wildfire and appearing on every flyer worth its salt, these guys are the envy of up and coming DJs all over the capital.
With a host of exciting events coming up over the next months, London Club City decided to have a chat with the guys and find out how they became the talk of the town and what they’ve got planned for the future.
The following is a transcript of selected questions within the interview. To hear the full interview, please download the audio file using the “Quick links” box at the top right of this page.
I’m joined by David from Local Heroes. You form one half of Local Heroes along with your colleague Greg. What’s Local Heroes all about?
Basically, we DJ together. We used to DJ separately for years, but then the Local heroes name came to both of us and we thought it sounded like a good name to push for - it’s a little bit quirky, and that was that really. We came up with the branding and how we wanted to exhibit ourselves to people and it’s moved on from there.
One of the taglines I’ve seen for you guys is “All killers, no fillers”. Do you want to explain what that means?
We don’t like to play a track just for the time in a set. Every track we play we like personally, we listen to it at home and on the way to work. We’re not going to play anything just because other people are playing it or to fill a gap in a set, you know every tune we play we’re behind 100% and that’s just the way we are.
Your next big event is this weekend for Dirty Disclosure at that Bank Holiday Sunday event at Pacha. Tell us a bit about the night.
It’s been a long time coming now. Disclosure has been getting packed out time after time at Loop in Croydon. I’ve never seen anything like it before in that area. It’s time that it got stepped up a bit and Pacha came about with Jesse James from Connected. When the opportunity arose it made perfect sense to combine the two events and put on a great party.
There’s lots going on in the world of Local Heroes. For those who want to keep up to date with your news, events and mixes, how can people get in touch with you?
We’re in the process of putting together a website right now, but we are putting all of the information on our facebook group [see link in quick links box] and we also run competitions and things on there for free tickets and Local Heroes merchandise so go and sign up.
