Pressure

No Slam or Silicone Soul this month, but a welcome return to both Funk D'Void and Len Faki.

Slam's landmark techno night rears it's beautiful head once again this month, this time sans Slam or Silicone Soul, who are currently busying themselves with a tour down under. Standing in for them will be Funk D'Void, fresh off the plane from Barcelona and no doubt crippled by seasonal affective disorder.
Headlining this month's outing is Len Faki, formerly of Lexicon fame during the mid 90s on the renowned house label Plastic City. Faki's innovative productions and bold concepts quickly attracted artists such as Umek, Samuel L. Session and Oxia to call the label home.
After moving to Berlin at the beginning of 2003 there was a definitive turning-point in Faki's music and business
career. He founded the independent mother label Len Series which set itself up as a trademark for innovative
techno music that became full of untamed and vibrant energy and whilst remaining strongly aimed at the club.
Faki's concept with succeeding labels demonstrates his open-mindedness for the diverse shades of dance culture whilst also offering the opportunity to fully explore his musical depths and creativity. With his first offshoot, Len Series label Figure, the produce filled the record bags of various DJs and producers such as Umek, Ben Sims, Monika Kruse and Marco Bailey across the years.
Joining Len Faki on 25 Sept are Paul Ritch (live), Funk D'Void, Davide Squillace, Sebo K and Aren Weinberg.
Fresh from his performance at Slabs of the Tabernacle on 5 Sept, German ex-pat Arne Weinberg will be appearing at Pressure, celebrating the launch of his brand new Diametric label.
