*** WERK proudly presents HERVE , Saturday February 1st, 11-5 at Timbuk2 ***
Yes you heard right - Our first big headliner of 2014 is none other than Herve ! Master producer and pioneer of the fidget-house electro sound, not a month goes by when Herve doesn't have one of his own tracks or collaborations in the charts of Beatport, Juno or Trackitdown - And it's been this way since he burst onto the scene 7 years ago. 2008 saw him collaborate with Sinden (another household name in underground house music) and their team-effort'Beeper' was a true classic in every sense of the word and still destroys dance-floors to this day!
Herve (real name Joshua Harvey) has a plethora of pseudonyms and aliases including The Count (& Sinden), Machine's Don't Care, Speaker Junk, Dead Soul Brothers, Voodoo Chilli, Action Man just to mention a few.
Also owner of the massive Cheap Thrills label, chances are that you've bust some moves to one of his amazing productions at some point.

HERVE Bio
The Count (& Sinden), Machine's Don't Care, Speaker Junk, Dead Soul Brothers, Voodoo Chilli, Action Man, the list goes on and on, if you've been anywhere near a dancefloor over the past few years it's a fair bet that you've cut some rug to some of the above's productions. The common link, they're all different names used by Joshua'Herve' Harvey, Cheap Thrills label boss, in demand DJ, remixer to just about everyone there has ever been and one of the most acclaimed dance music producers of the past decade.
His collaboration with Sinden produced a club classic in the form of'Beeper' and the album'Mega Mega Mega' which was released by Domino in 2010. The lead single from that album'After Dark' (featuring The Mystery Jets) was play listed on the UK's Radio 1 and was the second most played song on Triple J in Australia. The album also featured Bashy and new UK sensation Katy B.
2012 finally saw the release of the first Herve album: 'Pick Me Up, Sort Me Out, Calm Me Down. ' While it's uproarious 13 tracks saw sing-a-long dancefloor moments next to fist-pumping beats on tunes like'Better Than A BMX and'Show Me The Light', stop dancing long enough to listen a little deeper and there are some clues as to what was to follow. Tracks like'Gloomin' and'Bike Ride in June', and particularly'the Mirror' (featuring legendary Beta Band vocalist Steve Mason) hinted at yet another side to Herve . He followed his muse and true to his amazing work ethic released another album called'The Art Of Disappearing' in 2013. This deep, superb and sometimes dark long player includes guest appearances from Maria Minerva, Niki & The Dove, Austra and Seasfire.
Herve has not lost his love of the club however and August 2013 sees the release of his'Chronic' EP which he will soon follow up with a collaboration with Zebra Katz and a further co-production with one of the biggest names in dance music ..
