James Ruskin @ Culture Box (28th Jan 12)

We told you last week that there was plenty of incredible line ups on the way from Copenhagen nightspot, Culture Box. Kicking off with last weekends Fachwerk Night and continuing this weekend with the visit of Blueprint Records boss, James Ruskin.

Ruskin is no stranger to techno fans. Performing in clubs worldwide, producing seminal techno records as himself, with Regis as O/V/R and with Mark Broom as The Fear Ratio and promoting his own Blueprint Records parties in London's Cable club, he does it all. And whatever he does is always stamped with the highest quality. The parties he threw in London last year made up some of our very best nights out!

Supporting James on the night is the Danish duo, and Slash Dot Dash favourites, of Resoe and Kenneth Christiansen known as Pattern Repeat. With their 5th release on the way on their own self titled label, you know something special will be on the way.

Doors open at 11pm. All the info can be found on the Resident Advisor Event Page. Check out the Culture Box Website to see their advanced listings. Updates on James Ruskin can be found through his Blueprint Records Facebook Fan Page or you can follow him on Twitter.

Grounded Theory 09 @ Arena Club, Berlin (20th May 11)

Next Friday Berlin gets another installment of one of its best parties, Grounded Theory. Previous guests including Traversable Wormhole, Perc, Ben Klock, Sleeparchive, Mike Dehnert, Perc and Ancient Methods has cemented their place as an unmissable night for the Berlin techno faithful.

The smaller setting of Arena Club provides the perfect back drop for some of the biggest names in techno. For the 9th party the line up is possibly the biggest they've ever had.

Berghain resident, Marcel Dettmann, is no stranger to followers of the SDD blog, an artist from Jeff Mill's stable, Jeroen Search, and our next guest at Slash Dot Dash, Kenneth Christiansen, joins his production partner, Resoe, to perform their Pattern Repeat live show all alongside the man behind the parties, Henning Baer, for what will be a night of mind bending techno.

So if you're in Berlin next Friday, you'll agree there's only one place you need to be making plans for. Entrance is 10 euro's and doors open at midnight. For more info on this, and future, events, hit up the Grounded Theory Facebook Fan Page
