DYSTOPIAN

Ø[Phase] & Distant Echoes

Bak aliaset Ø[Phase] finner vi Londoneren Asheley Burchet. Engelskmannen er mest kjent for sitt arbeid mot det Belgiske Token Records, med knall utgivelser som Binary Opposition og Behind the sun .Med en variert stil fra kjellervarm minimal til flytende detroit techno, med støtte fra DJ legender som Dettmann og Ben Klock blir det kvalitet fra øverste hylle.

Distant Echoes er opprinnelig fra Milan, men byttet
ut sol for mørke kjeller klubber og har nå base i Berlin. Distant Echoes er
fremdeles ett nytt navn for oss her oppe i nord, men har fått sterk vind i seilene med
slipp på Rødhåds Dystopian records. Vi har med en dreven dj som debuterte bak spillerne i 14 års alderen og vi ser frem til hans debut i kjelleren på jaeger.

Jokke fra the Void er med denne kvelden med en haug av svart gull i bagen og varmer opp dansegulvet i diskon.

Kveldens hosts er den norske DJ-duoen g-Ha & Olanskii. De er kjent som residents på Sunkissed, Footfood, og Jaeger, men har også spilt på storeklubber som Fabric, Panorama Bar, Robert Johnson m.fl. Videre har de gitt ut flere mix-CDs, som har satt norsk house og disco på kartet verden over, og ikke minst vært to av de viktigste personlighetene i å skape et klubb-Oslo som aldri har vært bedre.

Ricky Late & Ollis pluss Celius spiller på Fredagspilsen.

London born but best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records, Ø [Phase]’s style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. Originally a Mastering engineer, he began producing as a sideline, releasing his debut ‘Module Overload’ on Steve Bicknell’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000. This was followed by a string of productions for London’s Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint, all of which saw consistent support throughout the techno community.

Since he started working with Token in 2007, his music has progressively earned more and more worldwide recognition – most significantly on 2012’s much acclaimed ‘Binary Opposition’ single and subsequent ‘Reprocessed’ remix package. In 2013 he finally released his first full length album, ‘Frames of Reference’.

Recent times have seen him remix for the likes of Robert Hood, Peter Van Hoesen & Mark Broom, while avid support from Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock have led to regular appearances at Berghain in Berlin. Today, his DJ schedule is busier than ever, having performed in Rome, Oslo, Amsterdam, London, Stockholm, Buenos Aires, Brussels, Marseille, Nijmegen, Glasgow, Vienna, Shanghai and at several festivals including I Love Techno over the last few months.

Despite being from Italy’s sun-blessed southern coast, Distant Echoes developed his passion for the darker side of electronic music at a very early age. When he was only 14 years old, he already owned a turntable and a mixer. It was only a few years later that he had become a passionate record collector and a DJ who would organise his own local parties. Setting up his first own studio was just a matter of time.
After leaving his hometown his way led to Milan, later to Berlin which to him feels like a “musical home”, nevertheless he resettled in Italy.
Those who watched attentively might know the House and Techno tracks the skillful producer has released under various monikers. In the studio he is a real workaholic, untiringly working on the music he’s so passionate about: Techno filled with melancholic melodies, hypnotic patterns and strong grooves.
