A highly respected DJ, come producer –MIXMAG

Cameron Dante
Media history

I suppose it all had to begin with Street

Machine back in the 80's - Under the
psuedonym 'Nooney' or 'Brian' Or
'Afleet' pick a card, any card.....

The dancer: Coming from the rougher end of Manchester, where

there werent any aspirations to do anything, Cameron was introduced
to break-dancing as far back as 1980 whereby he was part of the
infamous Street Machine crew with his pal Jason Orange of ‘Take
That.’ Cameron progressed from the streets and went on to win the
UK breakdance championships with his now infamous friend and highly
respected dancer Benji Read
Hearing the breaks and bass lines
stirred something inside that he just
couldnt
. escape from: he felt the
music. A career in the world of media
was all he had in mind

The Club DJ: In 1988, Cameron cut his teeth playing in Spain and it
was there he perfected his technical ability. Spain led to Ibiza where
he managed to secure a residency. In the UK, Cameron found it hard
to get the amount of gigs that he wanted as he never pushed venues
or sent out demos. He also had his hands full by being part of Bizarre
Inc (Playing with Knives / I'm Gonna Get you / Such a feeling etc!), 2
Much (So Strong - Championed by Sasha), Vertigo and many more.

 As a DJ, Camerons style of music can
be described as a driving house,
chuggin up to 130/132 bpm. It
gradually flirts between really cut-up
twisted house, funky bass lines, and
elements of tech. It morphs into a
more sort of linear sound that drives
for ages. Its always happy, its always
funky, it always delivers.The only
person who has a distinctively
comparative style is Mac Zimms;
Cameron is definitely peak set.

The Producer: Production definitely took a front seat for a while,

Cameron has written and produced his own material for many years,
and has historically released through Flawless Records: Warner Bros;
BMG; and Bush to name a few. All tracks contain that funky element,
a live bass, with the tech coming in the form of synths: they are
certainly proper dance floor material, and come under the banner of
peak-time set. Cameron also provides music for the film / TV and
commercial underscore market through Sony BMG......

The Person: As you can probably

guess, Cameron has many alter ego's
and as appearances go, you could
easily mistake Mr. Dante as an
untoward character, who you
wouldnt be too complacent about
meeting after dark. They do say
however, that appearances can be
deceiving, and this case is no
exception. Cameron is one of the
friendliest, mild-mannered gentlemen
in the world of dance music and is a
credit to the industry. He is married
to Tori and has 2 children, Romani
(12) and Teaha (10)

 The club owner: Cameron decided that
if he had his own club, he could have as
many gigs as he required. This pipe
dream became a reality, and Ascension in
Manchester was born. As one of the
biggest underground music venues in the
country, Cameron is rightly proud that he
pioneered and engineered the
introduction of names that would go on to
be the biggest in the industry, such as
‘Hed Kandi’s’ first introduction to
Manchester, he also gave the multi
faceted ‘goodgreef’ parties a home as
well as hosting 2 Radio 1 parties.

A short independent film has even been

made about Ascension

Cameron worked late Saturday night – early Sunday

morning for a period of 2 years with Kiss. Kiss 102 won
several awards including one for its coverage of social
issues and is acknowledged by writers like Dave Haslam
(Pictured at Ascension) and commentators such as Tony
Wilson as helping to prolong and grow the dance music
scene at a crucial period in the evolution of that music in
Manchester. The ground-breaking format was the brainchild
of two highly-experienced UK radio programmers Mike Gray
and Guy Hornsby who first worked together at the original
BBC Radio London where they produced the station's
leading DJ presenters Robbie Vincent and Tony Blackburn.

 The Author: Amazon.co.uk Review
Ascension is quite some trip. Cameron
Dante, one-time break-dance champion,
rapper with the chart-topping Bizarre Inc,
DJ, prodigious partaker of raves relives his
journey in search of the eternal high. It's
fast and furious from the start, providing a
fascinating insight into the peaks and
troughs of the oft-maligned dance culture
that took him close to the edge.

Close, that is, because he danced perilously

with death (he recounts with brutal honesty
the troubles he encountered in descending
further into the underworld of clubs). But
close, too, in terms of the ecstasy of the
communal "buzz: it feels so deep, so
spiritual that I never want to leave".

Cameron Dante has recorded under many pseudonyms, he has provided tracks
for a variety of fundraising albums such as:

to be confused with the film producer of same name).

Career

The group formed as Meredith and Archer formed a duo to start an acid-
house/techno project under 'Blue Chip Records'. The first releases were (and still
are) only available on 12'' vinyl: "It's Time To Get Funky" (BLUE C14R), later
renamed to a mere "Time to Get Funky" (BLUE C14RR); and the 6-track debut album
Technological, both written and produced by Meredith and Archer.

By 1990, Archer left Meredith to work as producer and writer with different house
and techno projects, a greater part of which were for Network Records. He was also
known as DJ Nex for a long time; later on he released material under names such as
Mr. Nex, O.P.D., Xen Mantra; and others including Nexus 21 and Altern-8 with co-
producer Chris Peat. Still in the same year, two other experienced DJs joined Bizarre
Inc. to fill Archer's place, thus forming a new trio: Andrew Meecham and Carl Turner.
Their first 12'' they released together was "Bizarre Theme" / "X-Static" on the now-
defunct record label, Vinyl Solution. This first track got a moderate acceptance, but
the next, "Playing With Knives" was to be their greatest success, whose vinyl (7'' and
12'') releases were issued on a couple of different European labels.

One year later, the album Energique followed. Also in 1992, the group Blue Pearl
scored another hit by using "Playing With Knives" as a basis for their track, "Can You
Feel The Passion". In 1993 Bizarre Inc twice went to number one on the United
States Hot Dance Club Play chart. "I'm Gonna Get You" spent two weeks at number
one in January (also hitting number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100) and was followed
by "Took My Love," which was number one for two weeks in late April. Both tracks
featured lead vocals by female session singer, Angie Brown. A third song (featuring
Yvonne Yanney, "Love In Motion," peaked at #4 on the U.S. dance chart in late
1993.

All three of Bizarre Inc's hit singles appeared on their second album, Energique, in
1992. They also released a third album, Surprise, in 1996. This album credits the
singer Angie Brown as part of the band line-up, rather than as a featured artist, and
she was also the co-writer on several tracks. It featured three singles, "Keep The
Music Strong", "Surprise" and "Get Up Sunshine Street".

Meecham and Meredith have continued releasing new music under the name Chicken
Lips. In the UK, their biggest singles remain "Playing with Knives" (#4) and "I'm
Gonna Get You" (#3), the latter of which was a crossover dance-pop hit and was one
of the biggest sellers of that year.[1]

Club class has Landed

LAUNCHED only last month yet already the talk of the town, Landed seems set to become a big time
success this summer. Running monthly on Thursdays at Sankeys Soap (Jersey St), the night was born out
of the clubbing passions of resident DJ Cameron Dante, a beat boy done good at local label Ascension, and
a man who pulls no punches when it comes to club promotion.
Not content with putting up posters and handing out a few flyers, Cameron and the Landed crew have quite
literally gone to town, parading through the streets to mark the launch with their very own Mardi Gras. Add to
this some £25,000 spent on state of the art sound and light, not to mention a shipload of designer decor
imported all the way from Italy, and it's no wonder that Manchester's glamour massive has been quick to
catch the buzz and get on down.
Cast aside the age-old adage that Thursday night is student night, and instead be prepared for a clubbing
experience akin to the craziness of Manumission - complete with circus acts, video projections, stilt walking
angels, and a chill out movie theatre.
Last month boasted the turntable talents of Graeme Park and Tom Wainwright, while this coming Thursday
Jeremy B (Azuli Records) and 2Funky (Ministry Of Sound)will be rockin' the floor alongside residents
Cameron Dante and Johnny Casswell.
blown away
''I've been totally blown away by it all!'' enthuses Cameron. ''We took a massive gamble, but it worked, and
this month is going to be even more outrageous. Most clubs sit back and expect people to turn up at eleven
o'clock, but I wanted people there at half nine, and sure enough they showed. Why? Because I think people
are desperate for a top quality night that's dedicated to clubbers, a night that makes them feel special, as
opposed to a night that relies on the crowd to make an effort. I mean, last month was kickin', it really was.
Graeme Park came down and he's like Mr Nice Guy, a true professional, absolutely seamless on the decks.
Then Tom Wainwright came on upstairs and the place just erupted, one hundred percent bangin'! I spent the
whole night walking round with my eyes wide open, grinning from ear to ear, and loving it. Honestly, I was
expecting it to be good, but by the end of the night it had surpassed my dreams.''
The term ''full club make-over'' often translates to mean a few flashing lights, a couple of ragtag banners,
and the promoter's bootleg video collection - but not so at Landed. No expense has been spared in terms of
sound, light, and decor, yet the admission fee is a relative snip at five quid on the door. Compare that to the
sky-high prices charged by other club nights, and I'm sure you'll agree that Cameron and crew have got their
feet firmly on the floor.
Touchdown to US garage sounds with Landed, this coming Thursday night at Sankeys Soap (Jersey
St). Special guests Jeremy B (Azuli Records) and 2Funky (Ministry Of Sound) spin a mix of
gorgeous, good-time grooves, with support from residents Cameron Dante and Johnny Casswell.
Doors open 9pm until 2am, admission £5 before 10pm. For more information contact 0870 745 5076,

Dante's inferno!

By Richard Hector-Jones

"PEOPLE often say to me that the problem with Ascension is that they never know what's going on at club,"
explains promoter and manager, Cameron Dante, over a coffee in the club's onsite café bar, Fed.

"And my only answer to them is `good!' Sometimes my approach doesn't work but at least we're always
pushing at the boundaries."
Cont…

Cameron Dante, as you might have guessed, is a larger-than-life character in a city that prides itself on
larger-than-life characters. He also likes to take risks.

A member of the legendary rave era band Bizarre Inc (ask yer dad!) he's also written an acid house book
and was making frequent to the white island of Ibiza trips for parties way before the tour operators cottoned
onto the new market.

He also talks a lot with an enthusiasm that feeds straight back into his club Ascension, the four-roomed
venue on Oldham Street that has now been open for just over six months.

"We're still testing the waters in the city," he continues, "and we don't want to step on other promoters' toes. I
feel we're pretty much in the middle ground of the Manchester clubbing scene."

Interesting

And he's right. Not nearly as fashionable as a lot of the institutions within the Northern Quarter, but far more
interesting than any other straight club in the city of a similar size, Ascension is really a place to go for a
pretension-free fun night out.

If you're not too keen on being handed a glow stick on entry to a club then maybe you should think twice
about going in. But if that's your bag, however, then a night of fun is on the cards.

At the moment, Ascension's flagship night is, of course, the award-winning Good Greef, which incidently
also started on Oldham Street at North, back in 2000, though under a different moniker.

"Those guys have done really well," agrees Cameron. "When we first hooked up with them they were just
coming through, which was great for us because part of the reason for Ascension is to make it a breeding
ground for new promoters and DJs.

"In fact, we are starting a new night called Manchester Heroes to pursue this belief," he continues.

"It's going to be the third Saturday of the month and it's purely for up-and-coming DJs to come and
showcase their skills."

Other established nights at the club are Retro, Frozen and Vision, which cross the line from funky house and
old school to more commercial trance.

Accessible

"Frozen is our newest night," explains Cameron. "I see it as a warm-up for Vision, which is quite hard, really.
Frozen is that bit more accessible with a bit of old school thrown in."

The other big pull at the club is, of course Graham Park who, as anyone with an interest in Manchester
clubbing history knows, made his name at The Hacienda.

So how does Graham equate with the forward-thinking approach of the club? "When I first spoke to Graham
about playing at the club I told him that I wanted to reinvent him in Manchester," says Cameron.

"So, when he plays here he brings his saxophone and a percussion player. Every time he plays it's almost
like a band on stage. It's a whole new thing for him and us."

12
"Basically, my beliefs at Ascension are quite simple," states the promoter.

"I want people to bring me something new because we won't tolerate any of the old ideas at this club."

With an attitude like that Ascension can only go up in the world.

Club night review: Vision Ice

By Richard Hector-Jones
OVER the many months of doing this page, one of the people it's always good to catch up with is
Manchester promoter Cameron Dante, a man who's been supporting Manchester's club scene way beyond
the call of duty for a long time now.

Though his nights don't attract the same media attention as many others in the city, he serves a part of the
scene that avoids glamour clubbing and the vagaries of fashion in favour of a good, solid night out dancing
to classics or more bouncy harder house sounds.

"The thing is," explains Cameron, who is no stranger to theorising about his nights, "a city can't and
shouldn't just cater for 'the beautiful people' because there are thousands of ordinary folk out there who like
to dress up, go out on a Friday night and have a good time.

"And I think the average clubber is usually only ever offered poor quality nights in what I call last resort
venues. I know I sound a little moralistic here, but I think that people deserve more than being on the inside
of a dark painted box with a crappy sound system."

Of course, he's right.

A restless individual who's had more ups and downs in the last few years than most promoters will have in a
career lifetime, Cameron's latest venture is a weekly Friday at Hidden called Vision Ice. It's not so much that
his nights aren't successful - they are - it's more that the clubs he goes to often close around him.

"I was out in Ibiza dancing at DC10, listening to Jo Mills, when I got a call to say that my night at the (now
defunct) Blue Rooms was over because the club closed down," he comments.

Regardless of the past, Hidden is proving a great success as he puts his night, Vision Classix, on hold to
promote Vision Ice instead. So what's the difference, Cameron?

"Einstein had a belief," he explains in his unique manner, "that there is no more certain a sign of insanity
than to do the same thing over and over again and expect the results to be different.

"So I stopped the classics night to give it a rest and concentrate on Vision Ice, which is more bouncy house
and Italian piano tunes."

Easter Weekender

The weekly night is building apace and the next level is the Easter Weekender he's doing which involves
Hidden on the Friday night, a large event at Philips Park Hall on the Saturday and a return for an all-dayer at
Hidden on the Sunday.

"Anyone that can make it to all three parts will get a firm handshake from me," laughs Cameron, and he
means it. For of all the promoters around town, he's the least likely to be lording it up in some VIP room
away from the dancefloor.

His approach to clubbing is far too egalitarian for that.

"I'm great at organising parties," he laughs, "but I'm not so good at business. I have 10 DJs on most nights

13
at Vision Ice. It doesn't make sense, but do you know why I do it?"

Nope. "Because you can't beat the energy of all the DJs jostling each other to get to play their tunes over the
sound system.

"To me that's fantastic. And it helps the night along nicely."

Vision Ice takes place at Hidden (High Street) every Friday.

Every Saturday - Blue Rooms - Vision Classix

Richard Hector-Jones July 09, 2004

CLUBBING's never been that good at spelling and Vision Classix is one of the worst
examples. Nevertheless, it's fast becoming a Mancunian institution.

After a shaky start at Denvers, Vision Classix is back at The Blue Rooms on Lloyd
Street. Packing 'em in on a weekly basis, promoter Cameron Dante is naturally in a
buoyant mood.

"Old school nights just aren't written about," says Cameron. "Manchester loves to be
different and new which is fine. I read about Love Manchester last week, which is
merging clubbing with art and bands.

"I'm more old school than that myself. I was in Bizarre Inc in 1988 and I used to talk
to friends who made me think that that sort of thing just wasn't cool.

"That the raving attitude gets knocked for being either for scrotes, council kids or old
people, who only go out once a month. But now I don't care, the scene's massive
and it's really vibrant. That's what matters, nothing else.''

"That's my humble opinion," he says as a final statement, knowing that what he's
said is actually pretty incisive about the whole scene.

Baby

Cameron Dante is no stranger to clubbing or Manchester. The now defunct Ascension

was, of course, his baby - a club that tried and failed to bring pretension-free raving
to the city.

The older clubbers might have recognised it as the closest thing the city had in the
new century to The Thunderdome. Make of that what you will.

"After Ascension went down I decided I had to be straight up and at 'em almost
immediately," says Cameron defiantly. "I refused to stay down.

"In fact I was out DJ-ing at The Zoo the very next weekend. You can't let things get
you down. That time was a real eye-opener to me. I made a lot of good friends, but
also a lot of people who I thought were friends suddenly stopped calling me. But now
I'm back in the game again but from a different angle."

That different angle of course is a weekly Saturday night at The Blue Rooms. "The

14
place is really coming in to its own," says Cameron.

"I think when it first opened some of the programming of nights was wrong which
didn't do it any favours. And believe me if anyone knows about bad programming it's
me."

Finally Cameron stops chuckling to himself here and we carry on.

"Eventually, we just thought: it's silly to have a club that's competing with other
similar clubs," he says. "So The Blue Rooms has become the sort of place where
Cont….

Vision Classix can happen. An old school night at a good venue where the people
make an effort to get themselves in. It's perfect."

He's right. But even so, if you're going to play music with school in the title you
should at least learn to spell. Lesson over.

Vision Classix takes place at The Blue Rooms, Lloyd Street every Saturday
night from 10pm to 3am. Admission is '10 - '6 before 11pm.

Cabaret of chaos

TOUCHING down in 2003, with plenty of surprises in-store, Landed is busily kick-starting the new clubbing
season with a bang.

Barely two months old, and already the night is turning heads across the UK, shining the spotlight on
Ascension (Oldham St) as a hotbed of fresh talent.

As always, be prepared for an experience akin to the craziness of Manumission, complete with circus acts,
video projections, stilt-walking angels, live art, chill out movies, and more. All this plus cutting edge sound
and laser lighting, not to mention a shipload of designer decor, imported all the way from Italy. And that's just
for starters.

Music-wise, expect to hear just about everything under one roof, ranging from vocal, US house upstairs, to
tougher, UK sounds down below - all mixed up with occasional cuts of R'n'B, and breaks.

Already this year, there's plenty of big names in the pipeline, with Friday (January 24) featuring the much
acclaimed MYNC Project (Passion), and next week boasting the Manchester debut of Dutch legend, Mac
Zimms (2-Play Records). Not forgetting much-loved residents Graeme Park (ex-Hacienda), Cameron Dante,
Johnny Caswell, the Trout girls, Herbie Saccani, Sebastian James, and Bongo Jeff.

Adventure

It's a recipe for chaos, says Cameron Dante. "Clubbing never used to be about following a formula, it used
to be about confusion!" he laughs. "Everyone likes a bit of adventure, and to me, just turning up at a club,
knowing what to expect, is very boring. So the way forward, I believe, is about spontaneity, and confusion,
and taking risks, which is how Landed was born."

In terms of audiovisuals, Landed takes the "full club make-over" beyond a few flashing lights, a couple of
banners and a collection of bootleg movies. Instead, it's more like walking onto the set of an MTV video,
featuring costumed performers, freaky dancers, and state of the art decor.

"We're putting the cabaret back into clubbing," says Cameron. "It's more of an Italian and Ibizan sort of style,
using lots of live artists, who are actually creating stuff on the night.

éThat way, you don't turn up and see the finished effect, you see the effect taking place - like some bloke on
a ladder doing some paintings, or next week, when we're coating a load of people in ultra-violet paint, and
sticking them to the walls with Velcro as human art - that kind of thing."

With the decor done and dusted, it's time to turn our attention to what really matters, the music. From the
cutting edge beats of Johnny Caswell, to the big, live vibe of The Graeme Park Experience, I ask Cameron
what's in-store for the dancefloor this season?

"Someone once described our music as schizophrenic, which isn't far from the truth," he smiles. "It's
constantly evolving on the surface, but at the same time, we're walking a very straight line in terms of the
direction. I mean, we're always breaking new sounds, but as soon as they become big, we tend to ditch
them, and go looking for something new. It's been a slow process, we always knew it would be, but we've
now got a strong stable of DJs, and a core of absolute quality clubbers that support the night - so it's full
steam ahead!"

Landed touches down at Ascension (Oldham St) on Friday, January 24, featuring special guests the
MYNC Project, plus the legendary Graeme Park Experience. Doors open 10pm until 4am (no entry
after midnight), admission é10/é8 NUS. For more information contact 0870 743 6788.
