Situation

Situation are a collective of seasoned DJ's, musicians & producers from the South West of England, all sharing the same vision & passion for music. The core group consists of Mr Mulatto, Ben Vacara, Paul Walker, Dom Thompson, James Payne and vocalists - Lauren Rimmel & Andre Espeut.

Situation was born in 2009 putting out funk, disco & boogie edits on their own vinyl label 'Situation' & 'Digital Situation' for DL's, also releasing on labels such as Disco Deviance, Tribute & Chopshop, alongside limited undercover 12"s - championed by Dicky Trisco, Pete Herbert, Unabombers, Ashley Beadle, Fingerman, J Kriv, Sleazybeats, Max Essa & Greg Wilson who included the 'Machine Gun' edit on his 'Radio 1 essential mix' & has played & supported numerous Situation edits over the years. Many of their unique mash ups, edits and remixes have found their way to lighting fires on many dance floors, and been acclaimed & played by a whole host of DJ's worldwide.

Over the past few years Situation have been honing their production skills on original compositions – which reflect combinations of Jazz fuelled boogie, Nu Disco & deep house.This new direction coincided with the recruiting of vocalist Lauren Rimmel and the launch of the new imprint 'Situationism'.
