Weekend Picks: Berlin - Dystopian and Grounded Theory pres. Other Heights x Field Records Showcase

It's just another weekend in the world's techno capital, Berlin, but there's two parties that deserve a mention.

First up, on Firday, our friends at Grounded Theory are hosting an Other Heights / Field Records showcase headlined with a live set from Dutch artist Conforce. Having recent releases on Clone, Coincidence and Echocord Colour and with his album coming real soon on Delsin Records, times are good for Conforce.

Joining him will be Bristol based Kowton, Oracy (aka Don Williams) and Jakob Altmann. The event will be held at Arena Club. All the details can be found on the Resident Advisor Event Page

Now if you're not done in by Friday night and fancy heading back out on Saturday then Horst Krzbrg should be your destination, and more importantly, the next party from Dystopian.

The quality line ups continue with one of London's most exciting young exports, Sigha, a Berlin debut live performance from Abdulla Rashim and support from Dystopian Resident Alex.Do and Guests.

Again check out all the event info on the Resident Advisor Event Page.

Skudge - First Observation EP [Echocord Colour 016]

The First Observation EP is the first release on our Echocord Colour by the Swedish production duo, Skudge. The release features two new tracks, 'Surplus' and 'Void' and a remix of 'Void' by Conforce.

Both tracks showcase that great dub techno style that Echocord is so famous for, where as the Conforce mix takes things into a more stripped down direction with heavy sub bass mixed in with distorted stabs and dreamy synth lines. Check out the tracks below. Conforce have disabled the embedded code on soundcloud so just on the link below to be taken to their page.
