Dutchman Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt is a true legend of the electro world, described as ‘exceptional’ by Bleep.com. A ‘producer’s producer’, he has countless acclaimed releases on the key underground labels Bunker, Clone and Crème Organization, his own rather esoteric label Strange Life, as well as on the globally recognised Ghostly International and Cocoon. Indeed, his prolific productions range from the wonderfully obscure to down right chart-smashing – his Cocoon release ‘Disco Rout’ was voted track of the year in 2002 by the massive German magazine Groove, selling thousands in the process.
Wolfers has also performed his stomping live PA - 'a hybrid form of slam jack combined with deep Chicago House, romantic ghetto technofunk and EuroHorror Soundtrack' - to great effect all over the globe. Unbelievably, this will be his debut Edinburgh appearance – do not miss!
HOUSEMEISTER (Boys Noize, Bpitch Control // Berlin)
Growing up in East Berlin, Housemeister’s deejay skills have long been recognised by the city’s top clubs (and in those all over Europe), his energetic sets filling the gaps between techno, electro and punk - always experimenting and always forward-thinking, Housemeister brings an undeniable spark to the club party.
Allied to this, Housemeister’s productions are also gaining increased recognition – he now has four EPs on Bpitch Control and full length albums on Boys Noize Records and All You Can Beat, whilst having remixed the likes of Modeselektor, Zombie Nation and Boys Noize. His latest, ‘Beef Jerky’, is 100% analogue produced of varied style but invariable quality and excitement.
The second Edinburgh debut of the night - believe the hype!
Completing the main room bill is Substance's resident chieftain Gavin Richardson. Coming out of nowhere, he has consistently proved himself since our beginnings, easily holding his own with the big guns. Gavin's dj sets are always varied in their construction and track choice, seamlessly balancing the understated with the maximal.
The front room will be in extremely good hands, with an wealth of riches on offer – 4 djs/dj-teams based in Edinburgh and Glasgow who have a range of influences and backgrounds, and each a wealth of musical knowledge and experience:
A mainstay of the best Scottish clubs, Robbie Dylan has held residencies at the likes of Pure and Dogma in ....Edinburgh.... and, at Test in ....Glasgow.... as one half of the Tokyo Bitches, the madcap Crack H666se duo. Expect a house and techno lesson, from the abstract and classic, to the wonky and weird.
SLEEPLESS CREW (Subplate)....
Sleepless Crew are the excellent Glasgow based duo, the ‘analogue assassins’ who are responsible for a series of great EPs on the excellent Subplate imprint, played/bigged up by everyone from Rustie, Hudson Milanese and Hudson Mohawke to Alex Smoke, Andrew Weatherall, Modeselektor and Radioactive Man. The Sleepless dj team are an excellent addition to proceedings, with everything from acid and dancehall to hip hop and electro likely to be on offer.
Hektor Ruiez is one half of Stick 430, the duo whose attitude-packed electronics have regularly featured at the club over the past 3 years, whilst recently appearing on the Swedish label Input-Output. Hektor, also known as RA, was behind the respected ....Glasgow.... clubs, including Kube and Iridium. He has played alongside the likes of Tube Jerk, Hell, Glencross and Tarrida.
