We are back for the second instalment this year & we continue to
expand the sonic flavours of the event with exciting debuts and our
favourite artists, selectors & MCs. A night of sound system music at a
300-capacity venue powered by custom-built setups Sinai Soundsystem in
the main room live 3D visuals & RC1 Soundsystem in the basement.
Headlining the event we have DJ Stingray 313 Sherard Ingram, founder
of Urban Tribe and associate of the mythical Detroit electro duo
Drexciya. He is a menacing node in the vast tangle of electronic
music's history, present, and future. As DJ Stingray 313 he propagates
a seer-like, totalising concept of what it is to be engaged in
thinking ahead by making people move. As both a DJ and producer, he is
a master of light-speed, futuristic electro, preferring fast tempos
and inventive beat patterns to more accessible, club-friendly rhythms.
Permit yourself to zoom out of your singular reality enough such that
all activity, all that is knowingly accumulated and all that is
unnervingly accepted on this earth, is a spectrum of information. This
includes the thermodynamics of our own biological structure. Now
consider that music is a segment of this spectrum, and DJ Stingray's
313 nexus of electro, house and techno a further specialised section
forged in bypassing normalised circuits to confront the future, to
articulate abstract dynamics. It's a slice of information, it is a
bandwidth. Ingram's crucial and distinctive function in this system is
to decode his particular nexus as a speculative software for others,
and to encode its conspicuous qualities as a feedback system with the
rest of the spectrum. If it sounds intense, it's because it is, and
it's still just about sweating it out at a club. A Detroit native,
Ingram is an established figure in electro and techno from its
earliest days. His Urban Tribe project is a testament to this. First
appearing on the genre-defining 1991 compilation 'Equinox,' Urban
Tribe has come to call Anthony Shakir, Carl Craig, and Kenny Dixon Jr.
members of the group. Though perhaps what has thus far come to be
Ingram's most finely calibrated and entirely natural manoeuvre was
under the wing of Drexciya's James Stinson. Performing with Drexciya's
live unit, Ingram took the 'Drexciyan DJ Stingray' identity and
conjured a torrential storm from the DJ booth. Spooky is a grime DJ &
producer known for his classic and influential grime beats. Started
off in the late 90s after finding a love for UK garage on pirate radio
coupled with spending endless hours in record shops. Spooky dipped his
toe in the musical waters after landing guest slots on various radio
stations including BBC Radio 1Xtra, NTS, and Rinse FM to name a few
and now holds it down with a weekly radio show on Mode FM. With
material on Oil Gang and No Hats No Hoods releasing the infamous grime
anthem 'Spartan' as well as producing and remixing for the likes of
Slew Dem Crew, D Double E, Kele Le Roc, P Money, Blacks, Kozzie,
