Intro: As a producer on Adam Beyer's Drumcode imprint and his own 8 Sided Dice; Alan Fitzpatrick needs little introduction amongst Ireland's Techno community. Indeed that's why we booked him last year for the Apocalypse Now concept. As a DJ he has torn up clubs all over the planet including the Temple that is Berghain in Berlin. He was one of our favorite performers last year and on the 10th of May we welcome him back to Dublin for the next installation of Equinox.

Bio: Buoyed by the whirlwind success he has enjoyed over the past twelve months, Alan Fitzpatrick approaches 2013 secure in the knowledge that he is on the top of his game and brimming with the confidence you would expect from a talent who is recognized globally as one of the most influential artists of the moment. Having enjoyed a rapid ascent through the ranks since his emergence as the new kid on the techno block in the latter half of 2008, Fitzpatrick now holds a high status as a universally respected and in-demand producer and DJ who has succeeded in carving out a recognizable musical niche for himself within the ever-expanding genre of techno. A seemingly unstoppable source of hit music, the momentum Fitzpatrick has generated is due in no small part to the impact his productions have had on DJs and the record buying pubic. Never was this more true than in 2012 when Alan’s studio output seemed to eclipse all those around him with his ‘Always Something For Nothing’ and ‘Skeksis’ tracks achieving the accolade of Beatport Techno number 1 sales positions, and in the process drawing high praise from his peers across the techno scene for the vibrancy, originality and inventiveness that has come to characterize Alan Fitzpatrick tracks.

Alan’s output for Drumcode in particular has worked to grow his reputation as a maturing and dynamic producer capable of bringing stylistic variety to his productions. The release of his ‘Life Through Different Eyes’ and ‘Skeksis’ EP’s powerfully demonstrated the range of Fitzpatrick’s inventiveness in the studio and showed there is no end in sight for the insight that inspires him to create universally popular techno records that stand out from the norm. Whether he is adding diva-like vocals to cavernous beat workouts (‘Always Something For Nothing’ / ‘Skeksis’) or fusing emotive chord sequences with his trademark heavy-funk sound (‘For An Endless Night’ / ‘Prometheus’) or showcasing his sound-defining ‘Shadows In The Dark’ album or collaborating with Adam Beyer on the hugely popular ‘Human Reason’ and ‘Memesis’, there is a uniqueness to Alan Fitzpatrick productions that ensures his star remains firmly on the rise. Elsewhere, Alan’s releases for Bedrock (‘Reflections’, ‘Moon Palace’ – which was awarded a BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune) and his own 8 Sided Dice imprint have raised the UK producers profile to a level where his remix services are in high demand, being recruited by the likes of John Digweed, Adam Beyer, Slam, Ben Sims, Cari Lekebusch and Joey Beltram.

This same intuitive sense of what will move a crowd that so effectively inspires Fitzpatrick’s own productions has opened doors to Alan at a long list of high profile clubs across the globe and led to a coveted BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in November 2011 that was met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction from old and new fans alike. Fans, who now can be counted in the tens of thousands, from all over the world, have witnessed Alan skills behind the decks as an increasingly busy and broad-ranging DJ diary sees Alan tour across Europe, North America, Asia and South America. 2012 brought debut tours to Argentina, Colombia, Japan, Singapore and Dubai while Alan cemented his place on the European circuit with guest appearances at headline events such as Carl Cox’s Revolution London, Global Gathering Ukraine and Hyperspace Budapest. Alan remains a core artist on Drumcode’s showcase events, including ADE and Miami conferences, where his trademark tough, hooky grooves and incendiary beats compliment the brands musical template. Away from the main room, 2013 will see Alan flex his after-hours muscles on a more regular basis via a series of shows with London’s long-established after-hours event, Jaded, where Alan will take on the role of resident, playing extended Sunday morning sets for the Jaded faithful in each quarter of 2013.

Intro:

Introducing Equinox 04 with Joseph Capriati. Capriati is on course to becoming one of the true titans of the Global Techno Underground. Another one of our favorites over the past 4/5 years. Capriati launched his career with Sasha Carassi's label Globox (another Apocalypse Now booking). After hearing it Adam Beyer contacted him and asked him to produce an EP for Drumcode. Capriati wrote the Sidechains EP and the rest is history.

This is driving European Techno at its finest. Not to be missed. Support comes from Jamais (Stephen Mahoney & Tricle), Arte Artur & Nando PGM (Loco Crew, Ungradio.com, Press2Play), Darren Daly & Will Kinsella.

Bio:

Well documented as one of the brightest new stars in techno, Joseph Capriati has made his name within the scene via his consistently high quality studio output. A natural talent with huge passion for music and entertaining, Capriati’s progression from newcomer to headliner has moved forward at an unrelenting pace since he made his production debut in 2007. Indeed, 2011 was no acceptation to what has come to be expected and will be remembered as another excellent vintage. Joseph’s solo tracks The Gallery, Psycology and Vesuvio for Drumcode and collaborations with Cari Lekebusch (Drumcode) and Paco Osuna (Plus 8) produced excellent reactions and topped the sales charts while Joseph also managed to find the creative space to deliver a number of excellent remixes; giving further proof as to his adaptability as a producer; remixing classic tracks from Adam Beyer (Drumcode), DJ Pierre (Bush) and Funk D’Void (Soma) as well as new releases from Alexi Delano & Tony Rohr (Sleaze), Ricardo Ferri (Alchemy) and Pascal Mollin & Pan Pot (Touched).

Having begun 2011 with a non-stop schedule that took in four shows across Holland and Spain over NYE and NYD, Joseph has enjoyed a remarkable year with many highlights. Debuts appearances at Europe’s biggest festivals; Monegros, Spain; Awakenings, Amsterdam; Dave Clarke’s White Noise party at ADE and legendary clubs including Monza, Ibiza; Fabric, London; U60311, Frankfurt; Forsage, Kiev and Inox, Toulouse will live long in the memory. As will the many Drumcode tour dates which saw Joseph represent the label at Berghain, Berlin; SONAR @ Row 14, Barcelona; Komplex, Zurich; The Arches, Glasgow; Ewer Street Warehouse, London; Glade Festival, UK; Golden Gate, Naples (8 hours b2b w/ Adam Beyer), Brancalenone, Rome and Amnesia Milan. Outside of Europe, Joseph had another amazing year touring Latin America, touching down in Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala and Honduras for some of his most enjoyable and inspiring gigs of 2011.

Born and raised in the southern Italian city of Caserta, less than 30km from Naples, it was natural for a young, music-loving Capriati to be drawn to the big city to fulfill his musical curiosity. Having grown up on a diet of early hip hop and classic house from the likes of Masters At Work and Todd Terry, Capriati bought his first DJ console at the tender age of 11; cutting his teeth playing to his friends in garages after school. It was not until he was old enough to attend his first techno party that his passion for techno over-shadowed his early musical influences and set in motion the journey that has taken him to the position he is in today. As Joseph himself remembers, “the first time I heard techno was at Old River Park in Naples in 2003. It was a 12 hours party with Dave Clarke, Billy Nasty and Rino Cerrone. I was totally impressed by that sound and something in my mind changed.”

Inspired and energized, Joseph made the leap into production; slaving away on a home PC and hi-fi speakers, honing his skills for three years and eventually creating his first important records like C’est La Vie and Microbiotik which found their way on two of the most influential Neapolitan techno labels; Analytic Trail and Globox Records. From this moment on Joseph was made. What followed was an explosion in Joseph’s profile at home and abroad. Following his first high profile gig at Naples’s infamous 5000 capacity Golden Gate venue in October 2007, the young Neapolitan has not looked back; spreading his wings and travelling all over the globe. A highly attractive draw in Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe has meant regular appearances at Awakenings (Amsterdam), Berghain (Berlin), Row 14 (Barcelona), Fabrik (Madrid), Forsage (Kiev), Escape Club (Sofia), Studio Martin (Bucharest) and many more. However, Joseph’s reach goes far beyond Europe. Already established in South America, Joseph has built a strong connection with the crowds at Crobar and Inferno in Argentina and Carnival, Forum and Der Zoo in Columbia. He has played the exclusive WIRE Festival in Tokyo and made guest appearances at Bar 13 and Dos Torres in New York. Not afraid to reach out to the frontiers of electronic music, Joseph has travelled to the less well know techno hotspots like South Africa, Mauritius and Honduras where he has enjoyed some of his most memorable gigs; proud to be part of the development of these emerging scenes.

This clear and decisive change of approach is key to Capriati’s success. Quick to understand the professionalism and determination required in order to carve out a career for himself; Joseph’s passion and conviction is plain to see in the way he has gone about making and playing music. Whether it be having the confidence to release a debut album containing ambient tracks and Drum & Bass; or the discipline and creative freedom displayed to convinced Adam Beyer to release two multiple-track EP’s on his Drumcode label; or the versatility and insightfulness that characterizes Josephs DJ sets and enables him to connect with crowds across Europe, South America, Asia, North America and South Africa. 2010 gig highlights have ranged from warming up Cocoon in Frankfurt with a pitch perfect mix of tech house through to upstaging the entire Drumcode Total event at Berghain in Berlin with an impromptu four-hour back-2-back set with Adam Beyer. With his path laid out before him and the force of momentum behind him, Joseph Capriati welcomes the future with excited anticipation. “I just want to make music or play gigs everyday. It is the most important thing in my life. When I am in the studio or on stage I feel disconnected from the world and I enter another dimension where there is just the music, the people and myself. I could be sick, or be feeling sad about something, but when I’m playing I totally forget everything and this makes me happier. Looking at the people dancing and following my musical trip is an amazing thing. There is nothing better than this for me.” And so the future for Joseph Capriati is simple. Keep on doing what you love and do it with the passion and commitment that has proved so potent a driving force to this point.

Intro:

Introducing Equinox 04 with Joseph Capriati. Capriati is on course to becoming one of the true titans of the Global Techno Underground. Another one of our favorites over the past 4/5 years. Capriati launched his career with Sasha Carassi's label Globox (another Apocalypse Now booking). After hearing it Adam Beyer contacted him and asked him to produce an EP for Drumcode. Capriati wrote the Sidechains EP and the rest is history.

This is driving European Techno at its finest. Not to be missed. Support comes from Jamais (Stephen Mahoney & Tricle), Arte Artur & Nando PGM (Loco Crew, Ungradio.com, Press2Play), Darren Daly & Will Kinsella.

Bio:

Well documented as one of the brightest new stars in techno, Joseph Capriati has made his name within the scene via his consistently high quality studio output. A natural talent with huge passion for music and entertaining, Capriati’s progression from newcomer to headliner has moved forward at an unrelenting pace since he made his production debut in 2007. Indeed, 2011 was no acceptation to what has come to be expected and will be remembered as another excellent vintage. Joseph’s solo tracks The Gallery, Psycology and Vesuvio for Drumcode and collaborations with Cari Lekebusch (Drumcode) and Paco Osuna (Plus 8) produced excellent reactions and topped the sales charts while Joseph also managed to find the creative space to deliver a number of excellent remixes; giving further proof as to his adaptability as a producer; remixing classic tracks from Adam Beyer (Drumcode), DJ Pierre (Bush) and Funk D’Void (Soma) as well as new releases from Alexi Delano & Tony Rohr (Sleaze), Ricardo Ferri (Alchemy) and Pascal Mollin & Pan Pot (Touched).

Having begun 2011 with a non-stop schedule that took in four shows across Holland and Spain over NYE and NYD, Joseph has enjoyed a remarkable year with many highlights. Debuts appearances at Europe’s biggest festivals; Monegros, Spain; Awakenings, Amsterdam; Dave Clarke’s White Noise party at ADE and legendary clubs including Monza, Ibiza; Fabric, London; U60311, Frankfurt; Forsage, Kiev and Inox, Toulouse will live long in the memory. As will the many Drumcode tour dates which saw Joseph represent the label at Berghain, Berlin; SONAR @ Row 14, Barcelona; Komplex, Zurich; The Arches, Glasgow; Ewer Street Warehouse, London; Glade Festival, UK; Golden Gate, Naples (8 hours b2b w/ Adam Beyer), Brancalenone, Rome and Amnesia Milan. Outside of Europe, Joseph had another amazing year touring Latin America, touching down in Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala and Honduras for some of his most enjoyable and inspiring gigs of 2011.

Born and raised in the southern Italian city of Caserta, less than 30km from Naples, it was natural for a young, music-loving Capriati to be drawn to the big city to fulfill his musical curiosity. Having grown up on a diet of early hip hop and classic house from the likes of Masters At Work and Todd Terry, Capriati bought his first DJ console at the tender age of 11; cutting his teeth playing to his friends in garages after school. It was not until he was old enough to attend his first techno party that his passion for techno over-shadowed his early musical influences and set in motion the journey that has taken him to the position he is in today. As Joseph himself remembers, “the first time I heard techno was at Old River Park in Naples in 2003. It was a 12 hours party with Dave Clarke, Billy Nasty and Rino Cerrone. I was totally impressed by that sound and something in my mind changed.”

Inspired and energized, Joseph made the leap into production; slaving away on a home PC and hi-fi speakers, honing his skills for three years and eventually creating his first important records like C’est La Vie and Microbiotik which found their way on two of the most influential Neapolitan techno labels; Analytic Trail and Globox Records. From this moment on Joseph was made. What followed was an explosion in Joseph’s profile at home and abroad. Following his first high profile gig at Naples’s infamous 5000 capacity Golden Gate venue in October 2007, the young Neapolitan has not looked back; spreading his wings and travelling all over the globe. A highly attractive draw in Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe has meant regular appearances at Awakenings (Amsterdam), Berghain (Berlin), Row 14 (Barcelona), Fabrik (Madrid), Forsage (Kiev), Escape Club (Sofia), Studio Martin (Bucharest) and many more. However, Joseph’s reach goes far beyond Europe. Already established in South America, Joseph has built a strong connection with the crowds at Crobar and Inferno in Argentina and Carnival, Forum and Der Zoo in Columbia. He has played the exclusive WIRE Festival in Tokyo and made guest appearances at Bar 13 and Dos Torres in New York. Not afraid to reach out to the frontiers of electronic music, Joseph has travelled to the less well know techno hotspots like South Africa, Mauritius and Honduras where he has enjoyed some of his most memorable gigs; proud to be part of the development of these emerging scenes.

This clear and decisive change of approach is key to Capriati’s success. Quick to understand the professionalism and determination required in order to carve out a career for himself; Joseph’s passion and conviction is plain to see in the way he has gone about making and playing music. Whether it be having the confidence to release a debut album containing ambient tracks and Drum & Bass; or the discipline and creative freedom displayed to convinced Adam Beyer to release two multiple-track EP’s on his Drumcode label; or the versatility and insightfulness that characterizes Josephs DJ sets and enables him to connect with crowds across Europe, South America, Asia, North America and South Africa. 2010 gig highlights have ranged from warming up Cocoon in Frankfurt with a pitch perfect mix of tech house through to upstaging the entire Drumcode Total event at Berghain in Berlin with an impromptu four-hour back-2-back set with Adam Beyer. With his path laid out before him and the force of momentum behind him, Joseph Capriati welcomes the future with excited anticipation. “I just want to make music or play gigs everyday. It is the most important thing in my life. When I am in the studio or on stage I feel disconnected from the world and I enter another dimension where there is just the music, the people and myself. I could be sick, or be feeling sad about something, but when I’m playing I totally forget everything and this makes me happier. Looking at the people dancing and following my musical trip is an amazing thing. There is nothing better than this for me.” And so the future for Joseph Capriati is simple. Keep on doing what you love and do it with the passion and commitment that has proved so potent a driving force to this point.
