In a recent interview Slovenian DJ Umek claimed that "I still remember the illegal rave party we’ve organized in the countryside outside Ljubljana. It attracted a surprisingly big mass of people and one of the main national newspapers reported on the incident, since we were dispersed by the police. And there was the local politician, real smart guy that made us all laugh, he stated that the cows in the nearby village stopped lactating because of the stress induced by the loud techno music."

Well, emerging talent Niche and former Subcity Radio techno stalwart Kill The Kid have taken this achievement from Umek up as something of a challenge. For their first event they'll be delivering their own sets of tight, minimal sounds that are sure to loosen the roof tiles of many a Queen Street establishment. Big Wooden Box returns in June with an exclusive set from Hans Bouffmyhre.
