Following on from our incredible 3rd birthday party with Anthony Pappa and Four Candles, we return to the amazing Factory Floor with the rising stars of the Progressive House scene Elliot Moriarty, Gowzer and Bulldozer.
Elliot Moriarty
Elliot Moriarty is one of the most exciting artists to make his way into the realm of Electronic Dance Music. He started off DJing at local parties and events, until his late teens, when the mighty Ministry of Sound came calling. It was obvious at this point that he had a natural talent for the craft, which was noticed immediately, securing several gigs at venues including The O2, Egg LDN, Lightbox, and Cable. Fast forward to present day, whether it’s spinning vinyl at the legendary Pikes in Ibiza, heating up the dancefloor of the main room at Pacha, or taking people on a tantilising journey at Copenhagen’s Culture Box, he continues to push boundaries with his sound and style.
Els has now released music on some of the biggest and best labels around; Bedrock Records, When We Dip, The Soundgarden, UV, Krafted and Sirin Music to name just a few. Now, as number 1 chart topping Beatport artist with his track “By My Side” on Organic House label Songuara, the launch of his own L O S T imprint, and with multiple bookings across the Globe, things show no sign of slowing down. Support from the likes of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Guy J, Anthony Pappa, Black Coffee and Joris Voorn say it all!
Gowzer
Glasgow-based DJ and producer Gowzer has been immersed in the underground electronic music scene for over 25 years, carving out a reputation for deep, emotionally charged sets and productions that blend the best of progressive house and organic grooves. With releases on respected labels such as The Soundgarden, Mango Alley, Vapour Recordings and Plastic Fantastic Records and many more his sound bridges hypnotic melodies with subtle club energy—crafted for dancefloors and late-night journeys alike.
Gowzer’s music has earned widespread support from progressive heavyweights including the Hernan Cattaneo Resident podcast and continued support from Nick Warren, Sasha and Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Dave Seaman, John Cosani, Kasey Taylor, Mariano Mellino and many more, with his productions regularly featured in top-tier DJ sets and global radio. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and evolving sound palette, Gowzer is equally comfortable delivering DJ warm-up sets or peak-time rollers, always rooted in narrative and emotion. With momentum building and a steady stream of acclaimed releases, Gowzer continues to push his sound forward—combining three decades of experience with a forward-thinking approach to modern progressive music
Bulldozer
Brian McArdle has been DJing, promoting, and producing pumping house music for 25 years under a number of aliases with the Bulldozer moniker first used is 2001 on “Nasty Piece of Work” a real driving slab of Tech!! The track made its mark and set the tone for all future releases – chunky, driving, and with some serious beef! Over 10 original tracks and remixes followed, most notably the remix of Legend B’s huge “Lost in Love”.
Brian has launched a new label “Liquid Lunch” through Capital Heaven studios with engineering partner Alec Milliner of Framewerk fame and has notable original tracks and remix work on labels such as Pro B Tech, Saturo, Capital Heaven and Prognosis.
Influenced by the sounds played by John Digweed, and darker tracks produced by the likes of Techno giant Oliver Huntemann, the Bulldozer sound is continuing to evolve with music forthcoming that moves between the Progressive, Melodic, and Techno genres. One thing you can guarantee from a Bulldozer track, or DJ set, is big sound and full of energy.
Support on the night comes from our very own Jon Towell, who is now really making a significant name for himself on the scene, Dan Bumby whose productions continue to impress under his DAN&DAN monika and Dave Lazenby who is forging an exceptional reputation as a top-class DJ.
