DEETRON
In the past few years Sam Geiser aka Deetron has emerged as a rising star in the Techno world. His popularity as a Producer has flourished in tandem with his reputation as a dynamic three-deck DJ, and as propelled him across the globe, his work for a growing roster of record labels Music Man, Intec, Phont, Strictly Rhythm and with remixes for the likes off Ben Sims, Damon Wild, Funk d'void, Smith & Selway, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Shinedoe, Legowelt and others, further cemented his position as a genuine talent within the International scene.His list of musical achievements stretch back to the early nineties - and on paper makes it quite impressive.
Born in Bern, Switzerland, Music was a constant in the Geiser family home. Sam's father's activities as a jazz musician ensured that he was surrounded by music from a very early age, sewing the seeds of his own musical interests. But it was Hip-Hop that encouraged this to flourish into an active involvement in music, during his teens. Sam soaked-up the music of Gangstarr, A Tribe Called Quest, and Prince Paul like a sponge, and was quick to realise the role of the turntable within this context, taking up DJing in 1992.Early Hip-House producers, such as Todd Terry, also captured his attention, and Sam began to make the transition to more 4/4 orientated sounds - picking up on the now classic output of Chicago and Detroit-based electronic musicians and introducing this into the sets he was, by now, playing around his home town, and further afield in Switzerland.Things snowballed from there. Geiser's production activity put him on the map, which in turn assisted the growth of his DJ profile.While he's DJing talent as scene him grace the decks at such festivals as I love Techno, Pukkelpop, and clubs like Cocoon, Florida 135 and FUSE.
Possible the most fruitful partnership of his career so far is that with Belgium's Music Man label. The Underground techno label which is part of N.E.W.S, the distribution and record label which sprung from the Music Man Record Shop in Ghent-Belgium in the mid-nineties.Deetron began with the 'Dolls For a Diva' 12" in 2001, and including several more 12"s and a superb mix CD that acts as ample testament to Sam's skills behind the turntables.
Deetron’s music brings with it anthemic moments bound to shake a floor up, but the crossover leanings may leave discerning techno lovers a little critical.
On the bill to add the sounds to the night are some of the county's if not the counrty' up and coming talents.E.C resident
Peter Breen as been a main player for E.C since the days of the playpen South has as proven to be as good as any international DJ.On warm up duties for Peter is ICON from Musik Fakt France who played a stormer the last time around for E.C and is very much a Dj / Producer for the future.Kicking things of are the local duo Deep End Music who have played gigs in Cork and Dublin in recent times to prove testament to their talent have also become firm favourites at E.C with their House/Minimal/Detroit sound with their own tracks and reedits are just second to none.
House music on The Terrace is provied by Kenny (Jacken)Fitz and Pawlie(pretty boy)Smith..
Door's for this very tasty line are at 8:30pm
Electric Avenue. Adm is 16 Euro.

NEIL LANSTRUMM LIVE -Planet Mu / Tresor Records
|
Neil Landstrumm's extensive discography spans recordings from 1994-2008 with some of the most influential labels in Techno including Tresor, Peacefrog, Scandinavia, Mosquito and Sonic Groove (US). His own Techno and design imprint, Scandinavia, still enjoys worldwide recognition for being one of the few labels still innovating in the field.The Scandinavia / Tresor association began with the first LP release marking a strict departure from the more Chicago-based Peacefrog style. The "Understanding Disinformation" LP tested Landstrumm's new Bass Techno sound, citing both influences from classic Detroit Techno and the more abstract Sheffield Bleep Techno. Metallic soundscapes, sub-bass and stark beats set the bleep-tone.
Know after 2007's critically acclaimed LP released on Mike Paradinas’ Planet Mu imprint, called “Restaurant of Assassins”. Landstrumm seeks new lows with “Restaurant of Assasins” bringing together classic UK techno vibes and modern dubstep with a refreshed rave sensibility.
Essentially a live artist, Neil has built his reputation on uncompromising live performances world wide with shows most recently at Unit-Tokyo, Rex-Paris, Tresor-Berlin and Electrowerkz-London.
Bass-Tech beats, Grime, Electro-Techno, Broken-Beat, Miami bass, beat throw downs or dirty swing style-lets stop the pigeons with their holes and get on with the real deal… Landstrumm creates his classic stomach pumping bass,metallic and melodic clangs and odd funky percussive swing lines live and in full effect.
This isn’t some laptop-noodle performance. It’s live electronics at it’s very best.
