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

Slash Dot Dash Podcast 002: Chris Stanford

After our first podcast mix was from the man behind Slash Dot Dash, XI. Our second podcast comes from our resident, Chris Stanford. Known all around London and beyond for his DJ abilities and as one of the main driving forces behind the Lost Souls promotion and the infamous bog parties @ Public Life. Chris was the obvious choice to partner XI as our resident and he fully understands what techno is really all about. No hype or market, just raw underground techno.

This mix is full of dark, driving, atmospheric beats and should perfectly set the mood for the party in March. You can subscribe to our podcast series and download the mix through iTunes.

Or for all you Soundcloud users, you can download or stream the mix from the player below. Be sure to follow our page as we have plenty more exciting mixes coming throughout the year.

After months of hard work and planning the time had finally arrived, and what a time is was. The Hub club will filled with a great friendly crowd just chomping at the bit to consume what was about to come.

XI & Chris Stanford kicked off proceedings deep and slowly built things up as more and more people arrived. Eventually the scene was set and it was the turn of the debut UK appearance of Adam X's new project, Traversable Wormhole. There had been plenty of underground buzz built up around the, until now, secret world of Traversable Wormhole. A series of 7 anonymously stamped white label releases fueled the live set with his signature stripped down industrial techno beats.

Then came the turn of the main event, as Sandwell District took the stage to step the party into over drive. Function & Regis's DJ / Live hybrid set was something more impressive than I thought it would be. The atmosphere became even more electric and the crowd truly got lost in the pounding rhythms filling the air.

Here, at Slash Dot Dash, we'd like to thank everyone that came down to The Hub Club on Saturday night and made us feel proud to be techno fans in London. The people came out in force. One of the best crowds I've seen in London for a long time.

As amazing as Saturday nights party was, we're not content to finish there, oh no no no. We're working away behind the scenes putting together a line up to match the brilliance of the relaunch. You won't be disappointed. You can keep up to date with the all info on our Myspace, Facebook and Resident Advisor pages

Thanks again and see you next time!

Lost Souls Pres Mark Broom @ Public Life (8th May 10)

Lost Souls, Public Life and Techno are 3 institutions that go together very very well. As our last party, with James Ruskin, proved in February. We rammed the bog full of techno lovers to witness Ruskin's immense headline set, and Saturday evening we're planning to do it all over again.

This time we're bringing in another UK techno giant, Mark Broom. Over the years he's steadily built up a reputation for solid productions and outstanding dj sets which have seen him release on some of techno's most respected labels and played to some of the best dancefloors across the globe.

Alongside Mr Broom will be a selection of Lost Souls finest residents, providing you with some quality b2b sets. Kicking off the party will be Antony Difrancesco and Lee Hume serving up some deep groovy vibes before Chris Stanford and myself take things up a notch in preparation for Broom to hit the famous Public Life decks!
