Weekend Clubbing Roundup: London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Chicago, Taipei

We're almost just about recovered from one of the most crazy techno weekends London has ever seen (god we love bank holidays) but the top techno talent just keeps coming. We've got a few events to tell you about for the upcoming weekend starting tonight in our home town

London

Scottish based Sleaze Records teams up with London promoters Tilanbiik bring you a label showcase at the Crucifix Lane Warehouse. The label's boss, Hans Bouffmyhre, is joined by the prestigious talents of CLR's Monoloc and Stockholm Ltd boss, Pär Grindvik.

Tickets are still available for tonight's event on Resident Advisor

Berlin

Again we're talking tonight, but this time we're switching to Suicide Circus, Berlin, for the Sonic Groove label night. The boss, Adam X, is accompanied by fellow SG artists Dino Sabatini and Diagenetic Origin.

As is the case with Berlin events, there's no pre sale tickets, doors open at midnight and it's first come first serve. Full event info can be found on Resident Advisor

Copenhagen

After further cementing his place as one of our absolute favourite DJs last weekend, Marcel Dettmann heads to Copenhagen for Culture Box's bi monthly collaboration with the Berlin techno mecca that is Berghain. The Ostgut Ton artist will be in control from 11pm right through till the end.

All you need to know can be found on the Facebook Event Page

Chicago

The Smart Bar plays host to a true techno giant as Oktave and Little White Earbuds present Chris Liebing. The CLR boss gets support from Perc Trax's Jeff Derringer and Chicago local Qbot.

There's no tickets for this one so arrive early to avoid missing out. Full info on the Facebook Event Page

Taipei

Smoke Machine put together some great parties, we just wish they were a little bit closer to home. Saturday night is no exception as they welcome Prologue Records artist and one half (with Donato Dozzy) of the outstanding Voices From The Lake, Neel.

Just like the Culture Box, Neel will be on from the start, right through till the lights get turned on. For all the info on the event and links for tickets head to the Facebook Event Page

August Bank Holiday: Ostgut Ton, Blueprint Records with Jeff Mills & Chris Liebing @ WetYourSelf!

Over the years the August bank holiday has steadily become one of the most eagerly awaiting weekend of the entire year. With the whole of London being taken over by festivals, daytime parties and line ups full with the cream of the worlds best DJ talent, the people travel from far and wide to be part of this summer celebration and with it being the last bank holiday Monday till Christmas, everyone seems to party twice as hard to make the most of the extended break.

The summer is not normally over flowing with quality techno events, but as the word of the underground is spreading, more and more techno parties are popping up on the London calender, and the Bank Holiday weekend has never seen an ensemble of techno talent like is on offer in a few weeks time.

The Friday night sees Broken & Uneven join forces with Ostgut Ton for their second label showcase of 2012. Room 1 is all about Berghain, with residents Marcel Dettmann and Marcel Fengler joined by special guest Surgeon. Room 2 goes to the guys from Panorama Bar in the shape of Prosumer and Nick Höppner.

Look out for some special live art going on during the night too as street artist Pure Evil will be working on a mural during the course of the night.

The venue so far is being kept a closely guarded secret, but knowing Broken & Uneven, we expect to turn out pretty special. Full event info and tickets are available on Resident Advisor.

Saturday we head South of the river to our favourite London Bridge club, Cable, for one of London's very best parties, We Fear Silence pres Blueprint Records. After already featuring some of the worlds best techno artists, including Marcel Dettmann b2b Ben Klock, Sandwell District, Luke Slater, Peter Van Hoesen and DVS1, to name a few. We was left wondering what he could possibly do to top the previous parties and raise the bar even higher.

The answer turned out to be quite a simple one. Jeff Mills. The Detroit Techno pioneer, part of the infamous Underground Resistance collective, owner of Axis Records and self confessed sci-fi fanatic has influenced every techno artist or DJ operating today in someway or another. We expect to leave very inspired.

Tickets available on Resident Advisor

So Bank Holiday Sunday would be complete without a Room 2 Techno session with WetYourself! at fabric. Headlined by a live set from returning guest, Chris Liebing with support from Sian and Candela Rising label boss, Billy Allen.

Outside of Room 2 you'll find our first ever headliner, Marc Houle, performing live in Room 1 with Chloe and the WYS! residents and Lost Souls up in Room 3.

Tickets available through the fabric website

Bank Holiday Weekend Recommendations: Ostgut Ton @ Cable, WetYourSelf @ fabric

This weekend is the last Bank Holiday until Boxing Day and it'll probably turn out to be one of the busiest clubbing days of the year. Every venue across London will be trying to pull out all the stops to draw in the crowds, but there's only two events that have caught our attention.

I struggled to pick a favourite out of Ostgut Ton @ Cable and WetYourSelf @ fabric so we've simply started off with Ostgut because it's first. On Friday to be exact. After successful showcases at Corsica Studios and The Red Gallery they've now switched to one of our favourite London venues, Cable. Not only that, but for the first time they're bringing over our favourite Ostgut DJ, Marcel Dettmann. Joining him will be Marcel Fengler, Efdemin, Steffi and Ame.

Tickets are still available on Resident Advisor and you'll find all the rest of the details there too.

Finally, no Bank Holiday Sunday would be complete without a WetYourSelf special. We have very fond memories of the last one in May when Slash Dot Dash front man, XI, made his first appearance at fabric b2b with Chris Stanford and a selection of the Worlds very best techno artists in Room 2. And this commitment to great techno continues into August. Headlining Room 2 this time is possibly the current biggest name in techno, Chris Liebing. He'll be joined by another SDD favourite, Terence Fixmer, Kai Zen boss and upcoming London producer, Roberto and our good friend from the Candlelight Sessions, Billy Allen.

Also don't forget to head up to Room 3 at some point to check out Andy Bone. Those of you who came down to Public Life last month for our last party will remember what a great job he did on warm up duties and we expect the same on Sunday.

As always tickets are still available on Resident Advisor and there's plenty more info to be found

CLR: All Together Lost @ Amnesia, Ibiza (24th Jun 11)

The Ibiza season is up and underway and it didn't take long for the first big techno event to turn up on the listings. Amnesia is the venue as arguably the biggest name in techno right now, Chris Liebing, brings his CLR showcase to the White Isle. There's not just Mr Liebing to look forward to though, he's brought along some friends to make the line up wall to wall quality.

By friends, we of course mean Len Faki, Ben Klock and a live set from Mathew Jonson. Tickets are available on Resident Advisor and we'd advise you to get some. We get the feeling this might just be a busy one tonight!

Adam Beyer & Chris Liebing @ The Drumcode Warehouse Party, London (25th Sep 10)

Traversable Wormhole - The Remixes Vol 2 (Chris Liebing & Sleeparchive) [CLR]

There's been plenty of anticipation building up around the Traversable Wormhole remixes. Just two weeks ago we told you about Vol 1 with Marcel Dettmann and Peter Van Hoesen remixes now it's time for Vol 2 and this time Mr CLR himself, Chris Liebing has got involed! And this addition wouldn't be complete without a Sleeparchive remix too boot.

Superluminal (Chris Liebing Remix)

Superluminal (Sleeparchive Remix)

The Chris Liebing remix features the high energy sound we've come to expect from the main at the head of techno's label of the moment while the Sleeparchive remix is much grimier with its squelchy droning bassline. Volume 2 will be released at some point in the not too distant future so keep your eyes peeled
