After our hugely successful 9th year Birthday celebrations ( thanx to some of you for the incredible support you’d given us and thanx also to the dj’s on the night , Prosumer & Tama Sumo for laying down the excellent music in the basement & the TotheBone Dj’s for their wonderful contribution in the bar ) ; we return to this excellent basement space for more of the same really .
When the clock strikes midnight , we will be welcoming you to the basement of the Camp for our Halloween extravaganza , our first Halloween outing in about 5 years. Record shop and record label – Smallville , from hamburg , run by Peter Kersten aka Lawrence/Sten & Julius Steinhoff will be debuting their label night in London for the 1st time ever .
Our relationship with Peter Kersten aka Lawrence/Sten dates back 5 years
When he debuted his live set for the 1st time in London @ Süd’s xmas bash . Since then every 2nd Saturday of December , London has seen a
Süd & Dial meet up , which has seen performances from Lawrence himself , Efdemin , Rndm , Pantha Du Prince , David Lieske & even a special guest thrown in for good measure ; last year – Dj Jus Ed .
This time around we decided to throw the spotlight on Smallville Records which has become a by word for the highest quality House & Techno .
The record shop itself first opened it’s doors to the public in 2005 then followed the label in 2006 .
Smallville , the label has seen some impeccable music from a stellar roster : Move D & Benjamin Brunn , Sten , Stl , Denis Karimani , Jacek Sienkiewicz , Steinhoff & hammouda , Lowtec , Dionne e.t.c.
A bit on the Artists Playing on The night :
Lawrence/Sten:
To any self respecting lover of electronic music Peter kersten’s guises as Lawrence & Sten should stand for high quality.
Peter kersten’s output as Lawrence shimmers and glides along the dancefloor with aching melancholy and subtle melodies . Bubbling with deep house rhythms, subtle electronic nuances and delicate chords .
Heavily influenced by Detroit , instead of doing a carbon copy of Detroit , he firmly puts his own twist on proceedings , in doing so , he completely introduces his own unique sound .
His Sten guise offers a more muscular take on this sound and is firmly rooted on the dancefloor .
Peter Kersten has four albums under his belt for labels such as Ladomat , Novamute , Dial & most recently tokyo’s Mule Electronic , as well as 2 albums under his Sten guise on Dial and several 12” ‘s for labels such as Dial , Mule , Sender , Spectral , Kompakt e.t.c.
Julius Steinhoff (London Debut)
Julius Steinhoff will be playing for the very first time in London on this date.
Julius and Peter Kersten first launched Smallville Records the shop in May 2005 and the label in 2006 . Julius’s entry into production is quite a fresh one but boy has he made a mark with excellent releases alongside trusted friends Hammouda & Dionne and even the mighty Jus Ed got in on the action with the sublime remix of “Touch” , Juliu’s offering alongside Dionne .
Julius has a lot of experience as a dj having played at many clubs across Europe so expect the finest in house and techno on the night.
Lowtec (London Debut)
Jens Kuhn known to many as Lowtec is the man behind the much lauded, Hardwax affiliated Workshop imprint.
Jens Kuhn’s strong passion for electronic music goes beyond the Workshop label however ; Jens has long been plying the discerning collectors in us , with the finest house and techno cuts on labels such as Out To Lunch , Move D’s excellent Source Records , Combination , Playhouse ( the excellent “ In Fail we trust “ would be my pick as far as releases on Playhouse are concerned ) . His recent excellent outings – Workshop 006 , His offering on Smallville , not to mention his latest ep titled “Angstrom EP” on Polyfon .

For the first time ever in London Lowtec will be unveiling his live set to our local audience.
No warm up sets from residents this time around, just straight in with the Smallville Crew with the very best in House & Techno.
Smallville are also known for their visual sensibilities with great cover art for their releases as well as flyers.
We are cooking up a special image to commemorate the Halloween event with their long time collaborator and artist Stefan Marx. Smallville will also be playing a hand as far as the visuals are concerned on the night.
So an overall Smallville experience then awaits us on Halloween!
Outrageous outfits on the night are strongly encouraged!!
The upstairs bar @ The Camp will be open from 7pm on the night so why not start your evening there before heading downstairs when it hits midnight.
