DDR LIVE IN DUBLIN **TONIGHT**
DDR and sarah FAB will be makin a visit to the emerald isle on the 15th of january for some full on acid action. they will only be makin a short trip over to this side of the pond from las vegas, so this will not be a night to miss, especially if you havent witnessed one of ddr's mammoth live sets.........
here is some info on ddr from www.triphazard.net
A twelve year veteran of the London underground dance scene, DDR has unleashed his own brand of techno / trance on many labels and at many parties / raves / clubs / festivals around the globe.
A central player on the U.K. free party sound system scene, DDR could be found running rig's at parties and festivals by Full-On and Bedlam in the early nineties. Following on from this it was not long before he was bringing his fledgling studio out to these events to play music to the masses directly from the machines.
A meeting of minds between DDR and the then newly formed Liberator DJ trio led to a first vinyl release for DDR on Stay Up Forever no. 2. A pioneer of what was to become the London Acid Techno sound, DDR was the first guest producer to appear on Stay Up Forever and he has had a hand in many of their most memorable releases and is still one of their most prolific artists.
Through working with the Liberator DJ's as their studio engineer, DDR met with DJ Choci of Choci's Chewns and was soon roped in to run Choci's studio for him. A fruitfull eighteen months passed at the Chocolate factory seeing Choci and DDR rattle off a great many acid-trance stormers and numerous proto-hardhouse/nrg classics. Moving on from Choci's studio to start his own labels with current partner in crime Mark Kinetec of the Kinetec empire, DDR was seen getting his hands dirty designing and constructing a fully equiped, state of the art studio for Kinetec Records ( all those years of college and 'real' jobs paid off.....), of which he is still the manager. The labels Hazchem and COSHH were born from this effort and were the prototype labels for the Infectious Distribution offspring from Kinetec Records.
During this time DDR had continued to produce records for a slew of newer labels such as Smitten, Cluster, Routemaster, Input, etc and also hone his skills as a live performer travelling to many places around the globe with his flight case full of equipment to entertain the hordes.
More recently DDR has been involved in the construction of the vinyl mastering facility for Kinetec Mastering, continues to produce for all of his favourite labels and has married and spends much of his time in the States where he can be caught bringing the sound of the London techno underground to an event near you.
and here is info on sara fab from - www.thevinylvixens.com
Sarah FAB first became involved in the dance music industry through Forever and Beyond which was formed with best friend Justine Skolnik producing and distributing a range of slipmats. Both Sarah and Justine decided to take the operation overseas to Amsterdam, where they were to become involved with the Input crew. The Input label was the first of many to be distributed through their company. Not long after that, the company moved back to Los Angeles to become one of the most respected independent distributors in the USA with a portfolio that grew to include all the London Acid Techno imprints as well as a wide range of other independent dance labels. During this time Forever and Beyond were also active in promoting and booking many of the Acid Techno artists from London in the USA. In 2001 Forever and Beyond split and F.A.B. Distribution was formed with husband DDR to fill the void.
After many years of selling the music she loved so much, Sarah FAB finally decided to start putting her extensive record collection to good use and made her DJ debut in Los Angeles at the infamous after hours club Insomnia in 2000. Since then she has filled dance floors at many London underground parties and also clubs and parties around the globe in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, Melbourne, Tokyo, San Paulo and in her current home town Las Vegas. Her style is a blend of funky havin it acid and hard techno.
She also co-owns and helps run the Hazchem label with DDR.
This year sees the start of The Vinyl Vixens, which is a collaboration between herself, Rackitt, Gizelle and luSINda. The Vinyl Vixens is a new female DJ booking agency, which aims to put its female talent on the map! 2004 will also be the year she starts getting into the studio and banging out some tracks. Keep an eye out for these future projects!!!
