Bade Records Room 2 Showcase
April 18th 2015 will be a momentous occasion for a clued-up section of the London clubbing community, because bravely underground night We Concur turn one with a very special party. Returning to Corsica Studios once again, heavyweight techno tastemakers Terence Fixmer and Redshape both line up and play live, Woo York also plays live and resident Rachel Lyn returns whilst Bade Records hold a showcase in Room 2.
This event will be the first following a memorable showcase on New Year’s Day with Nina Kraviz et al, and will again be a hugely considered affair with extra production, top notch sound quality and a general attention to detail that separates the night from all others in the capital and beyond. The We Concur crowd is a discerning one that likes to do some serious dancing to no nonsense underground sounds and before now they have done so in their droves. Previous events have gone down with a bang at Oval Space and Crucifix Lane with the likes of Mind Against, Mano Le Tough, Clockwork, Job Jobse, Matthew Dekay, Matthias Meyer, Alan Fitzpatrick and Recondite all playing in their first year. This birthday, then, is sure to be a special celebration for those in the know.
And so to the line-up. One of the most important and influential names to emerge from the French electronic scene, Terence Fixmer has been a bastion of quality techno for over a decade. This event marks the official London leg of his new album tour ‘Depth Charged’, his first solo album since the highly acclaimed ‘Comedy of Menace’ in 2010. Since emerging on DJ Hell’s seminal International Deejay Gigolos imprint in 1999, many of techno’s biggest acts have sighted Fixmer as a major influence on their work, including Ben Klock and Tale of Us. With his live sets expertly incorporating his driving, dark productions, his first performance in the UK for over two years is surely an essential date for you diary.
The infamous man in the red mask dubbed ‘The Phantom of Techno’, Redshape has proven to be one of the most exciting names in techno since he arrived on the scene in 2006. The Berlin-based producer has united the scenes fans old and new with his rugged-brand of Detroit infused productions, his mask only providing more intrigue to his sets. An eclectic and versatile producer to say the least, his live sets take you through many forms of techno, always toward-thinking and never predictable. His 2012 remix of Martyn’s ‘We Are You In The Future’ perfectly demonstrates this, also gaining huge support from the likes of Koze, Adam Beyer and Tennis along the way.
The most exciting prospects in techno currently, the Ukrainian duo of Woo York have been causing a huge amount of hype in the last year or so. Having gained a foothold in the scene on well respected labels such as Soma and Planet Rhythm and remixes provided by Jeroen Search, Truncate and Edit Select, the duo’s tracks have received huge support from heavyweights in the scene including Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock. With recent performances at Berghain and Tresor under their belt and the news of an upcoming release on Life and Death, We Concur are extremely proud to be welcoming them for a debut UK performance.
We Concur’s latest and greatest resident, Rachel Lyn, returns after her highly praised set on New Years Day. Her sound is absolutely perfect for this lineup and will no doubt set the tone for the evening.
Last but not least, Bade Records host a Room 2 Showcase. A highly respected London-based record label, their tracks have been getting huge international support, with Âme and Thugfucker dropping their tunes, which all have a focus on an eerie, emotive undertone and perfect fit in with the We Concur MO.
