NYD W/PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS

WHERE: The Abercrombie

WHEN: Tuesday, January 1, 2013

After the fireworks have cleared and the countdown has passed, reality sets in. You’ve been had – again. Every damn year. The same pitch, the same routine, the same combination of swarms of people and harbour views, blinding you of the underlying lack of substance slowly corroding your soul. Surely this year you should have thought differently, of beginning the year by tapping into something more authentic, more visceral… but it’s too late, you think, glancing at the clock in the early hours of New Year’s Day. Fortunately for you maestro, all is not lost, as there is one fifteen-hour party option on New Year’s Day that is decidedly disconnected from the predictable routines of other despairingly choreographed new year’s celebrations. A techno degustation celebrating individualism and strange fruit, of all varieties, crowned by the long awaited return of techno survivor/auteur Luke Slater after fifteen years of waiting. NYD 2013 at The Abercrombie gives you your retribution.

One of the few UK producers to emerge during the early 90s whose output remains relevant (read: cutting edge) today, Slater regularly throws down at some of the world’s foremost techno dungeons, such as Berghain and Fabric, and is responsible for one of the better instalments in the venerated Fabric compilation canon. 

Slater’s back catalogue comprises a the windswept ambience of his seminal 7th Plain pseudonym – encapsulated in the classic Four Corners album from the mid-90s – through the nosebleed severity of his X-Tront releases and the widescreen techno of his Morganistic project to his more recent dubby outings as LB Dub Corp. However Slater is arguably best known for his work as Planetary Assault Systems, releasing his most recent album under the moniker, The Messenger, on Ostgut Ton at the end of last year. 

Ever since the release of debut Planetary Assault Systems album The Electric Funk Machine back in that acid-washed summer of ’94, Slater has used the project to create ‘all-purpose’ techno that has a sufficiently strong thematic unity so that it can be appreciated in any context. While the club cognoscenti celebrate Slater’s mastery of dynamic, futuristic techno, his command of the ambient genre is something that is not as commonly acknowledged. 

Slater’s classic Four Corners album, released under his 7th Plain moniker in the mid-90s, is a must for anyone curious in electronic soundscapes that diverge away from the dancefloor. “I love to inject art into techno, going avant-garde obscure in places, because when it comes down to it, that’s what I find interesting,” our man Slater elucidates. “I have always tried to keep my head down and get on with it, try not to sell techno so much. You can dress it up and give it an image, but people will find their own way to it if they are interested.” We have no doubt you will find your way to The Abercrombie on New Year’s Day. The route is easy – travel against the tides of people drifting obsequiously in the currents of fickle trends and naff fads, and listen for the raw reverberations of your New Year’s awakening.

KEVIN GRIFFITHS (UK/TSUBA)

Kevin’s label Tsuba is regarded as one of the world’s key players in underground house music releasing deep & soulful house and techno. This is not simply PR spin, but a fact backed up by RA's all-time top 100 most charted labels, where Tsuba sits behind Crosstown Rebels as the second UK label in the list.

As a producer, in addition to several high profile Tsuba releases (second single ‘Cantona Kung Fu’ was no 2 in Deep House on Beatport for one month) in 2011 Kevin has released EPs on 8 Bit & Fear Of Flying with good friend and ex-Peace Division man, Justin Drake. Kevin is a regular at Fabric in London & Watergate in Berlin and in 2011 has racked up the air miles with gigs in Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Paris, Vienna, Zurich, Turin, Genova, Valencia and the Canary Islands.

"Musically you can expect a set filled with deep & hypnotic house, classics and many vinyl only releases, all geared towards the dance floor and creating a killer underground party. A podcast for the highly respected Ibiza Voice series aired in August 2011."

End Of The Line - Konrad Black

Where: The Abercrombie, Sydney

When: Monday 1st October 2012

\

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. Faint 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 & Chemistry’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.
