ROOM 1

TECHNOOOOO!! ♥

We have none other than... IFORMAT (Joseph McGeechan ) ( Synewave New York // Sleaze Records // Monolith Records )
.. DJ and producer hailing from Scotland originally but now based in Berlin... who will be treating us to a live set.. intense and raw... his first time in London too.. prepare to be stunned and mesmerized.. not for the faint hearted :) ♥ He began his career in 2008 as one half of the BCR Boy they released on their own Backwater Community Recordings label and also on Perc Trax. With further releases on Synewave and Sleaze, 2011 saw them headline both Berlin heavyweights, Berghain and Tresor.Joseph’s new solo project iFormat has a darker, more aggressive, industrial sound. Heavily influenced by the sinister and eerie soundscapes of sci-fi and horror movies, these give a disturbing sense of foreboding to McGeechan’s dystopian, post-punk exploration of the decay of society.

Receiving support from a worldwide array of artists such as Moerbeck,Ancient Methods,Northern Structures,Adam X,Xhin,AnD,Norman Nodge,Luke Slater,James Ruskin,Forward Strategy Group to name but a few, and with remixes by Perc,Gary Beck,Audio Injection,K209,Go Hiyama,Sawf,Mike Humphries and most recently an Ancient Methods remix of his “Failed by the conformists” on Prosthetic Pressings, 2012 also saw his iFormat debut album “As the lines break” on Nachtstrom Schallplatten.

He has played clubs in different parts of Europe and the UK, aswell as regular appearances in Tresor in the last few years.


NEIL BIRNIE...(Fnoob Techno) die hard vinyl DJ based in Aberdeen... his sets are always intense.. screwy intricate solar plexus techno but always hard techno ♥


THE MACHINISTS (Hugh McMahon)(Chunk Recordings // 7th Sign Records // Panel Trax Records // Anecdote Records +++)
DJ and producer based in Glasgow... energetic full on sets with an old school feel... but incorporating new stuff and his own material featuring alot.. ♥

KENNY CAMPBELL(Fnoob Techno - Industrial Wasteland // General Surgery Records // Rafarta Records)
DJ and producer also based in Glasgow.. One thing I love about Kenny is hes not afraid to play whatever he wants be it industrial / acid / new wave / techno and so on even gabber sometimes :D ♥

Glasgow based DJ Kenny Campbell is rapidly gaining a reputation for his talents playing tech music. Possibly the most versatile and technically talented DJ we've come across, able to play a set seamlessly, combining a variety of different styles, with ease. Be it techno, industrial, acid, jungle or hardcore, he'll play it, if the time is right, and the crowd wants it. Some of Kenny's bookings include OM96, Berlin; Red Bull Music Academy Afterparty; Studio 24, Edinburgh; King Haakon, Isle of Skye.

Oh, and we hear he likes an after party or two...

PAST:

From a very young age Kenny has had a keen interest in electronic music. This interest was to become a life long passion upon hearing Mescalinum United's 'We Have Arrived'. This track triggered something. The track was darker than anything Kenny had heard before. It had drive and bite. It was to become the track that made Kenny decide that DJing would be the path he would follow.

Heavily influenced by the harder techno sounds of the early Nineties and the second wave of Detroit techno, Kenny began hammering underground clubs and free parties into submission.

His style became more twisted, more extreme. Hardcore was dominant in the underground but it wasn't enough for Kenny. He wanted it harder still. More importantly though, he wanted it to be techno.

As time progressed Kenny moved away from the hardcore scene in general and back to his roots. Techno is what he wanted and it was techno he was going to have.

Taking inspiration from artists like FUSE, Speedy J and Plastikman, Kenny was more determined than ever to succeed within the techno scene

PRESENT:

After a brief flirtation with minimal and house, Kenny came back towards his roots, and picked up harder techno again. There was a fresh take on the early 90’s sounds and it fitted perfectly with his ethos on music. Hard, brash kick drums and percussion. Acid line and screeches. Everything he needed was there.

His production output has also increased recently with releases on several labels including Rafarta Records and General Surgy records, as well as his own Industrial Wasteland Records.

This, along with a regular show, Industrial Wasteland, on the revered Fnoob Techno Radio, has invigorated Kenny again.

FUTURE:

With regular bookings at both home and abroad the future for Kenny can only get better. As the technology he has embraced becomes more powerful so do his performances. Behind the blinking lights from a host of controllers Kenny now conducts the dancefloor in the way only he can.

No one is left disappointed when Kenny is in control.

KYLE ARNOLD (Fnoob Techno) DJ based in Edinburgh... Kyle is really diverse... comfortable playing more deep / rolling techno as well as being able to smash it the f**k out of it when he wants :D ♥

ROOM 2 ~ Playing specially selected deep techno // electro // breaks // dub techno...
