Steve Lawler Announces Viva - The Album & North American Tour Dates

[JIVE News]

.

Following the inception of Viva in Ibiza last summer, the amazing turnout for Lawler’s Viva party at the Miami Winter Music Conference, and with his new online label Viva Music about to launch, we present Viva – The Album. Viva is spread over three discs, defining Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 – reflecting the sound of Lawler in 2006. With Day 3 a beautiful electronic mix of heartfelt minimal and leftfield sounds, this album is a departure from the straight club sets of previous compilation releases and reflects a deeper side to Lawler. Taking things one step further, Lawler has also meticulously re-edited many of the tracks especially for the album. Viva is a must hear album that will further cement Steve Lawler’s reputation as one of the world’s leading DJ’s. Lawler remains the definitive DJ and producer, with an acute ear for a tune and a technical ability that is second to none.

Steve Lawler will be taking Viva on the road on a 30 date world tour this summer, crisscrossing North America and Europe, with a substantial stop-off in the Balearics. In Ibiza, there will be four special Viva parties at Pacha, and Steve, of course, plays Space’s opening party on the 4th June, and will also be closing out Space’s season. Steve Lawler’s notoriety stems from being one of the most respected DJs in the industry, cemented by his ability to create marathon sets that clubbers far and wide have come to respect and shake down dance floors to.

Steve Lawler comments: "Lights Out was always planned to be a trilogy, so now it’s time for the next project. With Viva: The Album, I’ve called the CDs Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 to reflect different states of mind, and how the music alters with that. It’s been a lot of fun doing this album. I feel an obligation to be constantly looking out for new music, new sounds and ideas and compiling music for a triple album has allowed me the freedom to put together some amazing music of different genres. Viva is about bringing new exciting music to people that they might not normally listen to or find. I just hope people enjoy the album and the music is allowed to speak for itself."
