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.

Machine @ Corsica Studios (30th Mar 12)

Machine seem to of settled in a new home. After a spell on the road, taking in the Islington Metal Works and East Village, venue difficulties last year steered them towards Corsica Studios and a collaboration with Plex & Colony in October. December saw their first solo event at the Elephant and Castle venue as they hosted Kevin Saunderson and Rolando.

Friday is their first party of the year and Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio continue their quest to feature nothing but brand new music to make sure the party stays right on the cutting edge of forward thinking techno. Looking back to look forward, they're bringing in one of the true techno originators, Robert Hood. As one of the founder members of Underground Resistance and the boss of M-Plant Records, few have had as much influence on the techno we hear today as Hood.

Room 2 sees Retro-vert counter balance the future, with the past. Surface Records boss, Nick Dunton, heads it up and is joined by Sims and Paul Mac's moniker, Essex Rascals, and Kirk Degiorgio throws an alternative set into the mix.

Tickets are available on Resident Advisor. More information on Machine can be found on their Website. To find out what else Robert Hood is got in the pipeline, check out his Facebook Fan Page

Plex / Colony / Machine @ Corsica Studios (28th Oct 11)


On Monday we brought you news of a huge line up taking place in Berlin on Friday. Today we switch our attentions back home and have what's probably the biggest techno line up of he year. This Friday London promotions Plex, Colony and Machine join forces for a humongous party at one of our favourite venues, Corsica Studios.

From somewhere, the South London club have magic'd a third room, and it's wall to wall quality across all 3, starting with the main room and Plex celebrating their 5th birthday. Live sets are the order of the day and you can look forward to performances from some SDD favourites in the shape of Ancient Methods and Perc with live support from Neil Landstrumm and Matt Whitehead and DJ support from Dask, Luke Handsfree and James Tec.

Room 2 is Colony with the excellent Andy Stott live, Peverelist and The Village Orchestra (Live) and of course backed up by Colony's own MB & CB.

Finally Room 3 sees Machine complete the line up with a bit of help of UK techno pioneer, Surgeon, and NYC pioneer Adam X makes his first return to London since his UK debut appearance of Traversable Wormhole for us last year at the Hub Club. As if 2 techno legends for 1 room wasn't enough, they'll be supported by Machine mainstays, Ben Sims and Kirk Degiorgio. And all night your heads will be further twisted by visuals by MOX.

As you can probably imagine, with a line up like this, tickets are gone, but fear not as there will be some available on the door. Check out the RA event page to get all the info you'll need on the night.
