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

Easter Weekend Clubbing Roundup: London

Yesterday we brought you news of Sunday's Tt+ pres Forward Strategy Group & Rebekah on the outdoor terrace at On The Rocks, today we fill you in on the rest of the London Easter Weekend's parties. It's a chocker one. We're extremely excited that Scuba is bringing his Berlin party, Sub:stance and Shackleton, to London. That would be enough on it's own, but the fact that they're supporting an Ostgut Ton party, which features Ben Klock, Ryan Elliott and Tama Sumo, is definitely the icing on the best Easter Cake ever!

Elsewhere we have Stroboscopic Artefacts boss, Lucy, alongside Tobias in Room 2 for WetYourSelf! at fabric and Bas Mooy, Mike Parker and Roberto for Coma at The Camp. Full line ups and tickets links below...

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

WetYourSelf @ fabric (29th May 11)

The WetYourself bank holiday specials have seen some great performances from some of the worlds best DJs and one thing you can rely on is there being a strong techno line up in Room 2. I'm sure those of you who were there, will have fond memories (or maybe no memories at all) from the amazing night when Dettmann and Klock hammered Room 2 last year!

So keeping that in mind, WYS, have pulled another stormer out the bag with performances from techno big wigs Peter Van Hoesen, Pär Grindvik and Dario Zenker supported by Bleep43's Toby Frith and another one of the infamous b2b sets from Slash Dot Dash residents Chris Stanford and XI.

Rooms 1 and 3 are looking equally as strong to make the last Bank Holiday before the end of August go with a huge bang! Tickets are on sale now through Resident Advisor and more info can be found on the fabric site
