September 27th is the date that EGG’s in house night Uncut makes its Autumn return, with three sensational headliners in the form of Kompakt boss, Michael Mayer, Tronic boss Christian Smith and Kompakt duo, Terranova. All three acts will sure test the boundaries of the club’s excellent Flipside system and it’s sure to be a memorable night as a result.

When headliner Michael Mayer is at the controls and expressing himself, you want to be there. As he weaves through a selection of 4/4, expect the trademark Kompakt sounds – poppy waves, avant stylings and glossy productions all mixed by the German with acute timing and a genuine narrative. In is career he has put his name to some seminal albums and perfectly constructed mix CDs that are some of the finest dance music has ever seen. His Kompakt label of course, is also one of the most revered out there working with a range of great artists from Superpitcher to Sascha Funke.

Born in Sweden but growing up in Germany, Christian Smith has combined the two countries’ revered techno blueprints into his own unique sonic palette for decades. Now Brazil based, Smith’s sound has grown from stripped back and heads down in the early days to being more melodically experimental and… darn right funky on later productions like his most recent full length, Director’s Cut. Since first emerging, the respected likes of Drumcode, Bedrock, and Renaissance are the ones to have come calling for this mans sounds, time and time again. Of course, since 1994, Smith has also steered his Tronic label through myriad big releases of his own, but also those from talents like Umek, Marc Romboy and EduImbernon.

Terranova is a decade-old project from experienced producers Fetisch and &ME which comprises a number of 12”s often released on !K7. Before now the pair’s heavily melodic, pop-infused take on electronic music has been stretched to a 13 track full length album, Hotel Amour, which came on one of the scene’s most mature labels, Kompakt. The results are equally adult, with plenty of pristine melodies, pleasant tempos and polite vocals coming together to form proper, grown-up songs.
