LWE & Closer pres Electric Deluxe @ Electric Brixton (28th Apr 12)

When London Warehouse Events say they're putting on a techno event, it usually means it's going to be one of the biggest parties the capital has to offer, and unsurprisingly, they've gone and it again. After bringing you a number of Drumcode parties and a couple of CLR events, they look to another techno super brand, Speedy J's Electric Deluxe.


The event is the second stage of three event mini euro tour, all taking place this weekend. Tonight they begin in Lausanne, Switzerland, as Speedy J is joined by Phil Kieran and Thierry Collado, and on Sunday they finish in Amsterdam with Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Hans Bouffmyhre and Giorgio Gigli.


But the one we're focusing on now is Saturday's London event. Heading down south to the newly refurbished Electric Brixton will be an army of techno fans expecting the witness some of the best techno around. Speedy J will be joined by Marcel Dettmann, Sandwell District and Marcel Fengler, whilst Room 2 is hosted by our friends at EarToGround, with Tom Dicicco leading the charge.


There's a couple of options available to you when it comes to your entry free. There's still some discount tickets left from EarToGround priced at £18 (+ bf) which you can grab from Resident Advisor. Or you can e-mail your names to jadedsundays@hotmail.com to get on their £10 concessions list. However entry is not guaranteed with guestlist, only with the tickets. It's your call but I expect there's going to be a big old queue!


More info on the Electric Deluxe mini tour can be found on their website where you can find out about everything else EDX related. There's details of their releases, podcast series, upcoming events and plenty more.

VOID pres Ben Klock & Tommy Four Seven @ Cafe 1001 (6th May 12)

It's felt like almost forever since London party throwers, VOID, smashed up Public Life, with a bit of help from Perc and Truss, last September. Come next Sunday though, it will of been well worth the wait.

For the headliners VOID look towards Berlin two bring in two techno heavyweights. One born and bred in the city, the other a relocated London boy coming home for the weekend.

There's not much to say about Ben Klock and Tommy Four Seven that hasn't been said already. Both part of huge techno brands (probably two of the most recognisable to any techno fan) Klock with Ostgut and T47 with CLR. They'll be bringing their world renowned techno sounds to East London, and more importantly to the amazing backroom space at Cafe 1001 for this monster party. To show you just how monster this is, Ben Klock will be performing his longest ever set in the capital to close out the festivities!

The rest of the line up features a plethora of local London talent. Room 1 support comes from Kontrol Room (check out their latest promo video), Jay Clarke and Randolph. Our boss, XI, heads up the front room and will be kicking of proceedings with a very special dub techno set.

Get yourselves over to the Resident Advisor Event Page where you can buy your tickets and check out all the event info, including details of the of the pre party. More info on Void can be found on their Facebook Fan Page. The same applies for Ben Klock and Tommy Four Seven

Mix Of The Day: Patrick Gräser - CLR Podcast 165

Yesterday's drive home was a very interesting one, and that was mainly due to the fabulous debut mix, for the CLR Podcast, by Patrick Gräser. At first the name might not be a familiar one, but if I was to mention that he's the man behind Answer Code Request, then techno bells will undoubtedly start to ring.


After releasing his debut 'Subway Into' EP on his own self titled label, the mysterious faceless name then appeared on Music Man Records remixing Marcel Dettmann's 'Landscape'. Dettmann also featured ACR's 'Escape Myself' on his 'Conducted' mix album, for the same label, and the track was later released as part of the vinyl packs.


Now the man behind the project has been unveiled, there's no let up in his work. This year will see an ACR remix from Skudge's label (due next month) as well as a release on Dettmann's  MDR Records with plenty more in the pipeline we're sure.


The mix features a number of new original and unreleased material so as of yet, there's no tracklisting (I'll keep an eye out and update if I find one). You can download the mix from the following links

The set times for the day is as follows


15:00 - 16:00: Resurgence
