Electric Shock #10

Saturday March 10th @ Temple Bar Music Centre

Klang Records Party:

Johannes Heil - LIVE [Klang / Cocoon - Frankfurt]
Roman Flugel [Klang / Alter Ego - Frankfurt]
Eddie Brennan [Electric City]

Wishing he had an automatic press release creator, the Electric Copy copywriter settled down to put together the hottest of letters and punctuation to sell the show. First up to mind came one of the heroes of techno music, Roman Flugel. This Frankfurter has been at the forefront since the early 90s whether with partner Jörn Elling Wuttke as Acid Jesus & Alter Ego or solo as Soylent Green, 8 Miles High and Ro70, Flugel has been rocking things for a long time. Roman is part of the Klang Elektronik / Playhouse / Ongaku axis of labels which he considers his constant home base, not only as an musician but also as an A & R for other artists such as Isolee, Losoul and Ricardo Villalobos. He knocked us out with a killer set when last he played in 2005 and we're having more of the same this time to keep our 4th birthday celebrations alive.

Making a return appearance will be Johannes Heil, one of the most ingenious techno producers of the last decade, playing live live live. He's been making techno history since 1998 and produced six albums and countless EPs on Kobayashi, Kanzleramt, as well as his own J.H. Records label and many others. Back then hard techno was the sound of the time, and his first album 'Reality To Midi' featuring the techno classic 'Paranoid Dancer' proved his unusual talent for simple rough tracks that soon heralded the sound of a new techno generation with their bass line and unique way of dealing with fragments of melodies as well as filtered vocals. His bow to Detroit and Chicago is never retro or old-school, but always aimed at the core of the track and its maximum club effect. Co-productions with DJ Hell or Sven Vath followed. His last albums, such as 'Heilstyle' '20.000 Leagues Under The Skins' and 'The World' on Anthony Rother's Datapunk label matched the production standard, but were more introverted and more interested in mystical or mythical connections than taking techno to another level - as was Johannes Heil himself at the time. Last years album on Klang, Freaks R Us opened him up to a new audience and he stole the show when playing with Dr. Lectroluv at ES last year.

First up is Eddie Brennan for his first shock appearance of 07. Ready to whip it up from 11 sharp, EC regulars know Eddie is a super sharp Serato shooter so get down early to check him out.

All tickets bought for our 4th Birthday with Modeselektor on March 8th at Electric City will enable you to get entry to this Klang Party for only 15 euro. Tickets for Modeselektor won't wait around - get on to Gerry in Big Brother pronto!
