MDR Night @ Culture Box (25th Apr 13)


On Friday, the people of Denmark, have a national holiday for Repentance and Prayer (check here, we're not making it up) so the good people at Culture Box have organised a Thursday night of debauchery to give you something to be sorry for as they've invited Marcel Dettmann to descend on the Black Box, with the help of Wincent Kunth, to showcase the considerable sounds of MDR Records. The Berghain resident oozes techno from every creative orifice and some would say his MDR imprint is the most pure reflection of the passion and knowledge Marcel has towards his chosen artform. His Boiler Room set from last year should certainly help get you in the mood for tomorrow night.


Warming up the room will be our very own XI, as he makes his debut in the Danish capital. Having learnt the art of warm up DJ'ing across the venues of London, we know he'll have the room set up perfectly for the stars of the show to unleash their sonic offensive.

The whole club will be open with US house legend George Morel heading things up in the Red Box and Rasmus Bro in the White Box. Full event info can be found on the Culture Box Website.

We Fear Silence pres the 12 Hour Blueprint Records Special @ Cable (5th Apr 13)


The second We Fear Silence presents Blueprint Records of 2013 has a very special feel to it. Well they all do but this time they've moved the goalposts slightly. Since it's incarnation in 2010, the parties, which have witnessed such techno giants as Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Sandwell District, Speedy J, Marcel Dettmann and Surgeon to name a few, has traditionally always been a Saturday night affair, but for April's party they've brought it forward a day, to Friday. This has allowed them to utilise the possibility of extended opening hours and bring us 12 hours of glorious techno.

As ever the man behind Blueprint, James Ruskin, leads the way and he's joined by a couple of returning faces and a brand new one. Firstly Berghain resident and Klockworks mastermind, Ben Klock makes his first solo appearance (we have hugely fond memories of his epic b2b set with Dettmann at Blueprint in October 2011). The man from Minneapolis, who's also a Berghain regular and Klockworks artist, DVS1 will once again deliver his high octane, fist pumping, raw brand of techno to Cable. Finally, making his first Blueprint appearance is one the UK techno's most exciting new prospects, Blawan. His uncompromising strand of industrial tinged bass onslaughts have made him one of the hottest properties this country has seen for a while and makes for perfect inclusion to one of London's most consistent parties.

Room 2 mainstays, Colony, take up their usual position as the supporting role and undoubtedly will take full advantage of their extra available hours. Rob Hall heads up the balcony room and is ably assisted by Colony residents Tengui and MB & CB.

Tickets are available from the We Fear Silence Website if you want the full 12 hours of underground techno artistry, or if you plan to be there after 5am, the on the door price is only £10.

Ostgut Ton vs 50 Weapons @ Peckham Palais (28th Mar 13)



Ostgut Ton once again join up with Broken And Uneven, as they return to London for the first time since that epic sweaty night in Wapping last August and this time they're bringing 50 Weapons with them. It's a start studded affair wherever you look. The Ostgut Ton room features Marcel Fengler (who was one of the real unsung heros of the last party), Barker & Baumecker (Live), new Ostgut signing Function and special guest, Detroit Techno pioneer, Robert Hood.

The 50 Weapons room makes the whole night a difficult prospect. There's going to be some tough choices to make. Live sets from Shed and Benjamin Damage with be perfectly complimented by a DJ set from Addison Groove. If you've not caught a live set from Shed before, we highly recommend taking time away from the Ostgut room to experience one of our favourite musicians doing his thing.

Tickets are available from Resident Advisor.





On top of this when 6am rolls around and you don't want to go home yet (as is quite often the case) everyone will be upping sticks and relocating to the infamous East German fishing boat, the MS Stubnitz, for the after party. Marcel Fengler will continue where he left off from the previous party as he is joined by Dark Sky and Dolan Bergin.

After party tickets are also available from Resident Advisor

The first Blueprint Records of the year at Cable and the big names don't stop as Dutch Techno pioneer and Electric Deluxe boss, Speedy J, comes to town, joining Blueprint main man, James Ruskin, Regis and Daniel Miller. Room 2, as ever, is taken care off by Colony with Blueprint's latest acquisition, Lakker.

I could bang on about how great all the artists are, but instead I'll let you find out for yourself with some audio and visual treats. Firstly we have Speedy J's four hour recording from Berghain...



Then we continue with Regis live in the Boiler Room


And finally we conclude with and exclusive mix that Daniel Miller has done for We Fear Silence

fabric New Years Double Header - NYE & WetYourSelf! NYD


2012 has been a good year for techno at fabric. We've been lucky enough to witness the likes of Sandwell District, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Peter Van Hoesen, Shed, DVS1, Shackleton, Luke Slater, Skudge, Karenn, Sigha and plenty more take to the infamous Room 2 over the last 12 months and they weren't about to let the year end without a bang!

The line up pretty much speaks for itself. Dave Clarke, Robert Hood presents Floorplan, Terry Francis and Joseph Capriati. Job done.

Tickets are available from the fabric website, doors open at 9pm and close at 9am (apparently)

Now if one night at fabric isn't enough for you, WetYourSelf! are giving you a cracking reason to turn round and head straight back there as Echocord Records boss, Kenneth Christiansen, returns to perform in London for the first time since he played for us in the summer of last year at Public Life. He'll be bringing his box chopped full of the most stunning dub techno, which has led him to become one of the most respected figures in the industry.

Joining him will be Palisade, with a live set, Antony Difrancesco b2b Dan Farserelli and the EarToGround guys, Chris Stanford and Gareth Wild.

Again, tickets are available from the fabric website

MDR @ fabric (15th Dec 12)


On Saturday, MDR is back at fabric for another Room 2 Techno takeover. Label boss, Marcel Dettmann is joined by Patrick Gräser who will be performing a live set under his alias, Answer Code Request. The pair will be ably supported by Anthony Parasole.

There's more Berghain / Panoramabar influence to be found around the club too as the Ostgut label head, Nick Höppner heads up Room 3.

Tickets are available from the fabric website, I'd suggest buying one because this really isn't the time of year to be queuing outside all night! Between now and then, there's plenty of stuff to keep you occupied on the fabric blog, like Create Digging with Answer Code Request and a conversation with Nick Höppner when he talks about his fabric promo mix.

We Fear Silence pres Blueprint Records @ Cable (17th Nov 12)


It's always an exciting time when We Fear Silence invite Blueprint Records back under the arches at Cable. Consistently setting the bar for the highest quality techno with every installment, we last saw them in the middle of an August Bank Holiday marathon as Jeff Mills delighted our senses with 4 hours of pure techno legendary.

Sticking with the Detroit heavyweight / Underground Resistance theme, Blueprint turn to another pioneer, Robert Hood. The flyer says he'll be performing live but, you'll be pleased to know, the M-Plant Records boss will also be performing a DJ set on top.

Mr Hood will be ably supported by the combination of James Ruskin and Mark Broom, both individually, and as their production duo alias, The Fear Ratio. Room 2 will be perfectly marshaled, as ever, by Colony. Residents MB & CB and Tengui and joined by the man behind the label Broken20, TVO (check out the top 10 tracks he picked out for WFS silence on their website).

Advanced tickets are available on Resident Advisor, or you can pay on the door, but I wouldn't get there too late if that's your preferred option because we expect it's going to be a busy one!

P/C/M: London, Grounded Theory: Berlin & The Sound Of Berghain: Copenhagen

After our mammoth roundup post last week, we're keeping it shorter this week, but the three parties we have to tell you about, make it just as strong.

London



When London party throwers, Plex, Colony and Machine put on events on their own, they always turn out pretty special, but when they combine at Corsica Studios, it ends up being one of the best events on the clubbing calendar.

The first P/C/M, which took place in October last year, brought together the likes of Surgeon, Perc, Andy Stott, Adam X, Ancient Methods, TVO, Peverelist and plenty more.

As with last year there's a few birthdays to be celebrated. Plex are turning six and Colony are reaching four. Plex take care of room one. Ancient Methods return, Regis puts in a live set, and the two combine for the UK debut performance of Ugandan Methods. Joining them is Surface Records' 65D Mavericks, Ø [Phase], Simon Heartfield with a live A/V show and the Plex residents.

Colony host live sets from Livity Sound, Senking and DJ sets from Millie, Tengui and MB & CB. Machine feature Untold, A Made Up Sound, Ben Sims and Paul Mac as Fokus Group and Kirk Degiorgio.

There's a few tickets left on Resident Advisor, but don't hang about because they won't be available for long.


Berlin


Our favourite Berlin promoters, Grounded Theory, move to a new venue, Stattbad, for their 18th party and they've put together an epic UK trio in the shape of Surgeon, Tommy Four Seven and Sigha. The Berlin contingent is fulfilled by Sven VT and GT boss, Henning Baer.

As is the Berlin norm, there are no tickets, so make sure you get there early to avoid disappointment. Full info can be found on the Facebook Event Page.


Copenhagen


No clubbing roundup would be complete without a stop of at Copenhagen's Culture Box. On Saturday they continue their monthly homage to the sounds of Berghain and Panoramabar and this week it's the turn of Ben Klock to take control of the Black Box for an all night session.

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
