Liam Arnold: It would have been all too easy to dismiss Lan Muzic as another Berlin techno label pumping out tracks for the Watergate: 12”s by Touane, Philip Sherburne and label bosses Exercise One offered little more than familiar shuffling rhythms and fract...

Jaco Justice: This deserves a good mention on a couple of counts. First up, the Optimo duo of JD Twitch and JG Wilkes bring a party soundtrack to the club experience that frankly shits on many a sycophant promoter, and secondly their presence will hopefully be the c...

Josh Coppersmith-Heaven: Now the first real chill winds are flickering in, it's imperative that you do things that keep your personal central heating system running. First of all, you’ll need to make your heart beat – so go and listen to the bold and beautiful son...

Liam Arnold: As British as it is to discuss the weather before launching into more serious topics, it’s bloody well going to be winter soon, and rather than accepting in a Zen manner the inevitable cyclical change, I’m going to sulk. The summer euphoria...
Music :: Clubs :: Feature 26 Sep 2008
Colin Chapman: Marcel Dettmann was born in the Berlin satellite town of Fürstenwaldem, not the most stellar of origins by any means. But the recent release of his debut mix CD, Berghain 2 (which offered a musical snapshot of his residency at the famous German cl...

Michael Slevin: Marco Bailey's productions frequently appear in the setlists of Carl Cox, Chris Liebing, Jeff Mills and Sven Vath, but don't let the list of big names mislead you: although ambitious, he is a self-made man on a mission to unite people with a love of pu...
Deviance :: Film :: Theatre :: Art :: Clubs :: Preview 23 Sep 2008

Clubs :: Feature 19 Sep 2008
Colin Chapman: The oft-repeated tale of Matthew ‘Recloose’ Chicoine’s unusual ‘demo-on-rye’ entry into the music business has now become part of techno folklore. Suffice to say, on that fateful day in spring 1997, legendary Detroit produ...
