Main Room...
BILLY NASTY & BEN LONG (8 Decks and 2 Mixers)
Consistently polling high in the DJ Magazine Top 100, Billy Nasty is one ofthe most important driving forces in the seat of UK techno. His labels Tortured and Electrix are indeed legendary, but his recent focus towards frontline DJing and production has lead to explosive results throughout Europe in 2007. It's time for the more open minded DJ's of my generation to evolve, he insists. And for that reason, we've put him head-to-head with Ben Long, one half of the legendary outfit The Space DJz. As regular Experimenters will know, Ben is a wizard when it comes to insane deck manipulation. Grand-slam techno with needles everywhere. This will be furious.
RIBBZ & ORIEL (The Techno Experiment)
Ribbz is a club favourite with his uncompromising style of funk-driven electronics, which aims squarely for the centre of the floor. An undergroundlegend who takes great delight in converting people into the sound, he knowsexactly what to drop and when to drop it. As tonight focuses on fresh music,we place him back-to-back with co-founder of The Techno Experiment, Manchester's rising female superstar, Oriel. With such a wide range oftastes, Oriel's track selection is nothing short of breath-taking. Make sure you don't miss this.
DISTEK & MUCKY BEATS (Fat Collective / The Techno Experiment)
Distek and Mucky Beats and two of the most important driving forces in thenew Northern techno movement. Alongside other members of the FAT Collective,they are fast becoming the ones to watch in 2007. After almost eight years of studio hibernation Distek now releases on some the finest techno labels the UK has to offer including the incredible Unknown Forces imprint. He's now taking his Live PA all over the world. Mucky has emerged from the rave scene and as well as promoting some of the most underground nights in the north, is a co-founder of the Kick The Drum Recording label and has releasedmusic with artists such as Alex Calver. The key here will be the future and forward thinking.
