WHAT? with MARGARET DYGAS & GLIMPSE @ THE GRAMAPHONE....
Friday 18th June 2010, 10pm – 6am

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Our line up is now complete! We are more than delighted to announce that our party, WHAT? will be taking place at The Gramaphone basement on Friday 18th of June and we welcome two of our favourite artists. Our first artist is from Berlin and it’s nobody else but our special guest Margaret Dygas. The second artist is very respected Londoner and it‘s Mr Christopher Spero aka Glimpse.

Margaret Dygas (powershovelaudio, perlon, panorama bar)

Margaret Dygas is a woman with a colourful past. She was born in Poland, lived in sunny California, studied fashion in New York and experienced busy London before settling down in Berlin to work on her music.
It was in New York and London where she fell in love with the vibrant electronic music scene and it made her the artist we know now.
In 2006 she made her first move into production, which resulted in releasing ‘’Day After’’ (2007) on the label Contexterrior, and got a great response. Soon after in 2008 she released ‘’See You Around’’ on Tobias’s label Non Standard Productions and recently caught eyes of the guys from Perlon, where she released her amazing ‘’Invisible Circles’’(2009).
Margaret Dygas is a respected artist, regularly sharing a DJ booth with DJs like Zip or Ricardo Villalobos. She holds residence at proclaimed Berghain/ Panorama Bar in Berlin and is coming to Gramaphone to share a lot of amazing music with us. We’re very excited to have her playing at our party because we know what the capabilities are of this special lady.

Glimpse (crosstown rebels, planet e, cadenza)

Christopher Spero aka Glimpse has one of the most wanted lives in the world. He’s building his reputation since his first releases back in 2005, when he released on Leftroom and his own imprint Glimpse Recordings under the “Spero” alias. By 2008, Glimpse established himself as one of the UK’s most innovative and exciting acts. He is one of the key acts in Matt Tolfrey’s Leftroom stable, he also released “Black Collections” album in Asia which led to sold out shows in Japan. In 2009 we’ve seen Glimpse touring North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. His material got released on labels such as Carl Craig’s Planet E, collaboration with Lee Van Dowski on Lucianos’ Cadenza, another collaboration with Alex Jones appeared on Kindisch and we’ve seen releases also on Buzzin Fly and Boxer. His brand new album ''Runner'' just came out on Crosstown Rebels and is having extremely positive feedback. Glimpse is an artist regularly playing in the most exciting venues all around the world and now we got him to play at The Gramaphone at our party. Usually we see him playing live, but this time at What? you can look forward to his superb DJ set.

Our special guests will be supported by resident DJs Juraj and Brano. Visuals will be projected by our new Mr VJ, and his name is Hek. Guys its going to be undoubtly an unforgetable night and we are very much looking forward to dance with you again!

See you on the dancefloor.
