With prior art exhibition from Zeke Clough

- In attempt to aid the general malaise that descends upon the winter months, we bring everyone under the darkness. As the catatonic London scene continues to freeze over, a light must break through the ice. -

It appears to us that clubbing has largely become a physically hedonistic pursuit, each night contained within itself for a short 8 hours of pleasure. There is nothing wrong with that, but we have grown tired of the rigor surrounding these events. A great song is a great song, even greater depending on the context it is put in. Yet very few nights have tried to create an overall narrative, to draw the lines between genres and ideas, no matter how close or sparse they might be.

Our first event looks at the influence of industrial and noise music on Techno, which in our view, currently owes more to both genres then it does to the halycon days of house or detroit. Each artist has been carefully picked to offer there own voice within the narrative. Perhaps you can make the connections yourself? Over the course of the night you'll see the narrative we have chosen, the noise, dub and drone influenced analogue improvisations of Ekoplekz, Mordant Music and Vindicatrix to Bill and Powell's defining take on dance music, incorporating elements beyond the veil and even further then that. Two truly unique artists that will no doubt influence artists years from with their abstract approach. All bought together by the rugged and dominating techno of Skirt and Adam X, showing how all of these sounds have become accepted and taken a hold on the dancefloor.

All of which will be accompanied by artwork provided by the infamous Zeke Clough. His work is the perfect visual representation for all music within, abstract yet clearly defined. There is something to be seen, but what that is is up to you.

Ultimately our aim is to create a platform to explore music again within its own definitions, not one subject to genre constraints or the influence of the dancefloor.

Wed, 10 Oct 2012We done our best to keep everyone informed but with the information coming to us at the last minute, often through a third party, it was difficult finding everyone in time.

We've apologized to Skirt and are looking to make it up to her in future.

As for the venue, its a great space. I take it that was your first time there? It could make the perfect home for techno and experimental music, but it feels as if the venue doesn't quite know what it wants to be.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012fair enough.

I still think that the situation shoul've been handled differently, as I spoke with Skirt halfway through the night and even she had no idea of what was going on, but apart from that I now understand that those decisions were made from the club owner.

its a real shame, the venue looked appropriate for such a night, warm soundsystem and everything, as said above i was really enjoying the night.

good luck for your future events then.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012To address your concerns.

It was much to our reluctance and anger that the night closed so early. The night had gotten to a bad start from the beginning when the venue owner forced us to open the club night an hour later, a decision we weren't even aware of until too late. Regardless of the amount of people in the venue, we wanted to stay open until 6am but were being threatened with an early close of 3. Which was why we had to bring Adam on earlier, we fought for a 5am close, as compromise... More

Mon, 08 Oct 2012set times were changed without notifying the djs,
and the club closed at 4am instead of 6 am as planned.

Adam X was still playing when they turned off the music without even telling him what was going on, lights on and everyone go home ffs.

dj Skirt was suppose to play a 2 hours set, but they didnt let her play, i think because there werent enough people to keep the place open and cover costs, so they just decided to close early.

very disappointing, much because i was really enjoying... More
