The Diagonal man has seven DJ gigs lined up across the country, starting with one in Seattle tonight.
UK techno experimentalist Powell is about to embark on his debut tour of the US.
Powell recently remixed a Silent Servant track on Jealous God, and this stateside trek comes amidst preparations for his next EP, a three-tracker called Club Music (with one track featuring some Devilfish 303 work from Russell Haswell), which is due out in early April on his own Diagonal Records.
He's set to DJ at seven cities across the country, and first up, in just a few hours, is a Motor party at Highline in Seattle. Tomorrow night he'll hit LA, where he's billed with Charles Manier (an alias of Tadd Mullinix, otherwise known as James T. Cotton and Dabrye)—that event, hosted by Mount Analog at Dilettante Gallery, will also serve as the one-night-only US premiere for The Sound Of Belgium, a film exploring the history of Belgian dance music. Then on Saturday night, Powell will swing through San Francisco to play the second edition of a new series, Surface Tension, where Chicago's Beau Wanzer is slotted in for a live set.
Next week has Powell taking to the decks in four more cities over four consecutive nights. A Select DC event in Washington DC at Flash on Wednesday night will lead to Midwest shows in Chicago (with the duo Acteurs also confirmed) and Detroit, where he'll be hosted by We Are All Machines and nospectacle. The tour wraps up in Brooklyn with an evening presented by Industry Of Machines and Ad Hoc—Chicago jakbeat specialist Traxx and local L.I.E.S. artist Torn Hawk complete the lineup at that one.
Tickets to Mount Analog's LA event are available on RA.
