As technology opens up a wealth of musical discovery, trusted sources are more valuable than ever..

Andrew Thomson has been at the helm of party outfit and label, Huntleys + Palmers for the past 12 years, where he has displayed a keen curatorial ear via parties between Glasgow and London; booking everyone from Axel Boman to Veronica Vasicka, Four Tet to Silver Apples and hundreds of others in between – many of whom playing in the UK for the first time including Helena Hauff, Lena Willikens, Oni Ayhun, Rebolledo and rRoxymore. He was also behind the programming of a weekly residency at London’s legendary Plastic People.

Continuing this eye for emerging talent, he runs several labels (H+P, Highlife, Belters) releasing and assisting in launching the careers of talented individuals from Argentina to the Ukraine, the Gorbals to Tel Aviv – including the likes of Auntie Flo, SOPHIE, Mehmet Aslan, Hi & Saberhägen, Red Axes, Golden Teacher and many, many more. Calling upon the likes of Dixon, DJ Sotofett, Lena Willikens, Kornél Kovács, Mark E and Lipelis for remixes. Releases here ~ https://huntleyspalmers.bandcamp.com

Andrew’s appetite for discovering and sharing new music both informs and fuels his DJ’ing; playing everything from international party belters as a founding member of Highlife (alongside Auntie Flo), to appreciating the art form of the warm up DJ; better yet, combining both and playing an extended set – something he regularly practices, playing all night at the legendary Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf and the mighty Bassiani in Tbilisi. Additionally, he’s rocked pool parties in Rio, rooftops in Istanbul and played at the majority of the best venues in the world; including Glastonbury, Barbican, Fabric, Nowadays, Good Room, Video Club, Le Sucre, Contact, Dommune, Corsica Studios, Razzmatazz, Sub Club, The Art School, Berghain Kantine, Tradgarden, Ohm, Dimensions festival. 2019 started with an extensive 4 month tour around Latin America and North America, as documented in this tour diary.

He hosts a regular show on Rinse FM, showcasing the best new and emerging talent from around the world and has contributed a range of his own mixes, podcasts and radio shows for esteemed outlets such as Dekmantel, Beats In Space, Boiler Room, BBC 6 Music, Truants and Crack Magazine. Not to mention, has recently been the subject of a documentary for Stamp The Wax.
