Events

You come to, and you’re on a moving carriage. Looking around, you see people, all kinds of people – your people. Then you hear the bass. Feint at first, but growing louder. You turn and she’s leaning towards you, anticipating your question.
“Where are we?”
She smiles, before shaking her head slightly.
“Wrong question. You should ask me… where we get off.” You can only just make out her words above the rising bass, as more and more people begin to surge towards the front of the carriage.
“And where might that be?”
Again, she crouches down until her face is adjacent to yours. “The end of the line,” she whispers. Then the bass drops, and all goes black – Konrad Black.

Canadian producer/DJ/lothario Konrad Black will headline Subsonic’s regular long weekend finale bash, End of the Line, with a live set at The Abercrombie on Monday October 1. From his beginnings in hip hop and DnB, Konrad Black has carved out a niche in the underground dance scene with a sound that is based around huge hooks, acid-tinged grooves and throbbing basslines to create what Black himself describes as “bassline banshees drowning in a moat of synths”. Renowned for original productions like ‘Medusa Smile’ and ‘Draconia’ as well as a host of remixes, namely his reworkings of Snax’s ‘Honeymoon’s Over’ and Audion’s ‘Mouth To Mouth’, Black is also a co-founder of the seminal Wagon Repair label, and mixed the third instalment of the Watergate compilation series, which featured his collaboration with Loco Dice production hand Martin Buttrich, ‘Siamese Connection’.

While Black has been relatively quiet on the production front over the past few years, he has recently released an EP with Art Department, ‘Graveyard Tan’, and dropped a fresh cut, ‘Devastator’, on Lee Burridge and Matthew Dekay’s Get Weird label. ‘Devastator’ was worth the wait, being hailed as an “inky black chug-monkey” that will take out the trash wherever it’s played – and it’s been getting played in clubs all over the shop, with support from the likes of Francois K, Damian Lazarus and Ivan Smagghe.

Black’s return down under will be the centrepiece of a twelve-hour event that will also feature a host of renowned locals over two rooms, inside and outside of the Abercrombie, including Peret Mako, Glitch, Marcotix, Jamie Lloyd and an additional surprise guest. The long weekend ends with a blackout.
